  • The objective of the present study was to model the relationships between language learning strategy use and language proficiency among the Asian (Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese) students studying English in the United States. The instruments were a language learning strategy Questionnaire and the Institutional Testing Program Test of English as a Foreign Language (ITP TOEFL). Structural equation modeling was utilized to model the relationships between language learning strategies and language proficiency. The present study found only weak relationships between language learning strategies and language proficiency. Only 13% and 15% of variance of the listening and grammar/reading factor were explained by the language learning strategies. The metacognitive strategies appeared not to have direct relationships to the language skill factors, as was found in other studies (Purpura, 1996, 1997). The effects of the social and affective strategies were very small. They in combination could account about 1% and 4% of the variance of the listening and grammar/reading factors.

  • Learner-centered approach has been a recent research focus in the second language acquisition, but few studies have dealt with how to develop learner autonomy, particularly in a computer-assisted language learning environment. The paper first illustrates the importance of promoting learner autonomy in the EFL context and elaborates the three main factors contributing to its development. Then it focuses on how the CALL research project promotes autonomous learning through a small-scale study in Gyeongju University. Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been employed to examine whether in the CALL project learners exercise control over their own learning and evaluate the outcome. The results indicate that due to a flexible syllabus, highly motivating research topics and the network-assisted environment, learners do take responsibility for most aspects of learning and thus the CALL project proves to be a promising approach for autonomous learning.

  • The purpose of this study is to explore the linguistic elements that can promote academic literacy in terms of content-based instructions for KSL learners. In order to study the characteristics of learning languages for subjects, focus was given to the framework of systematic functional linguistics that has been extensively used in ELL teaching and learning research in the United States and Australia. History, which is taught in all classes and classified as a required course, was the subject of analysis. From the history curriculum, the elementary school level texts "Social Studies 5-2" and "Social Studies 6-1" were chosen for the analysis. Based on the results, we can come to the following conclusions. First, history textbooks are divided into narrative and analytical explanatory sub-genres based on their content, and there are differences in the factors that need to be focused on to find the main information. Second, the vocabulary of history textbooks should focus on the use of verbs which comprehend material processes. Particularly, learners should pay attention to the differences in meaning between low-frequency expressions. We hope that the results of this study will have a positive effect on history subject learning for learners in the "Adaptive Korean Course" and will help establish direction in terms of building curriculum contents for KSL learners.

  • Many studies such as Pepin (1999a; 1999b), Kaiser (2002), and Park & Leung (2006) revealed that there is a strong dependence of mathematics teaching on cultural traditions in different countries. This study was set up as a detailed comparison between the intended curricula in Berlin and Hong Kong to explore how cultural tradition influenced the intended curriculum. In this study, the intended curriculum is what the (local, state or national) curriculum developers stipulate in the official documents. The German educational system is influenced by the curriculum tradition called Didaktik. Didaktik is a tradition about teaching and learning. Since 16th century, Didaktik has been the most important tool for planning, enacting, and thinking about teaching in most of northern and central Europe (Westbury, 1998). On the other hand, the education system in Hong Kong is influenced by both the Anglo-Saxon curriculum tradition and the Confucian heritage culture (CHC). It was found in this study that, although many studies revealed that there is a strong dependence on cultural traditions of mathematics teaching in different countries, other factors such as social factors or the education system also played an important part in shaping the intended mathematics curriculum. So a simplistic view of dependence of the curriculum on cultural traditions is not warranted. The formation of the curriculum is a much more complicated process encompassing various factors including needs of society, advancement of technology, and government policies at different levels.

  • The objective of this study was to review the meaning and problems of Scientific Knowledge and Ethical Value in Environmental Education. The ultimate goal of environmental education is shaping proenvironmental human behavior. The factors of human behavioral decision making are ideology, value, attitude and behavioral intentions. Ideology is a kind of belief system used by social groups to interpret their social world. The main elements of belief system are knowledge and value. The traditional thinking in education has been that we can change behavior by making human beings more knowledgeable and more valuable. In environmental education, the aim of scientific inquiry is to analysis cause-effect relation of human beings behavior and environmental phenomenon, and ethical education is to change the mind of human beings from zero-sum to positive-sum about the relations between human beings and natural environments. But, there are many problems of knowledge education and value education in environmental education. For example scientific knowledge without ethical value is dangerous to environment protection, and ethical value without scientific knowledge is vague. Therefore, we must recognize that the relationship of ethical value and scientific knowledge is not substitutional but complementary. The teaching-learning methods which can integrate knowledge and value in environmental education are rational decision making model. For this model, we can construct teaching contents with inquiry materials. To earn the benefits of specialization among several subjects in environmental education, social studies can focus on social science knowledge and decision making, science education can focus on pure natural science knowledge and scientific investigation, moral education can focus on problems of ethical value system, home economics can focus on practical action and environmental education(Environments in middle school, Ecology and Environments in high school) can integrate social-national science knowledge and ethical value in broad perspective about human beings and ecosystem. That is the method to protect from law of diminishing marginal utility of learning in environmental education.

  • This attempts to find out training system of environment education teacher in Korea. The results are summarized as follows. The primary and secondary school have focused on environment education and the environment course was designated as a subject, but only 12% of the 2741 middle school chose the environment subject in 1998. The environment education course is not popular among students. The environment education is an interdisciplinary subject, which is composed of natural science, social studies, earth science, and medical science, that is why the subject is so unsystematic and complicated that appropriate teaching methods and contents for school classes are not able to be developed. Moreover, material and manuals in environment education for students and teachers are limited. While the contents of environment education is composed of field experience learning and experiment learning, but lecture-centered instruction is emphasized in school because of materials, time and experts. Over 300 environmental education teachers are annually produced, but the ratio of employment low. is, Therefore, a retraining program for environment education teacher needs to be developed.

  • 통합 사회과 교육과정은 그 개념이 명확하게 정립되지 않은 상태에서 학교 급별로 다양한 유형의 통합이 적용되고 있다. 특히 초등학교 사회과는 교육과정의 개발에 있어 사회과학의 내용을 완전하게 단원 속에서 통합한다는 취지에도 불구하고, 설득력 있는 통합은 이루어지지 않았다. 오히려 여러 분야의 내용이 한 단원 속에서 혼합됨으로써 지리학습의 내용이 지리학적 지식의 구조를 반영할 수 없었고, 지리적 관점을 흐려 놓는 결과를 가져왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 완전한 통합은 이론적으로나 현실적으로 불가능하다는 전제하에서, 통합의 의미를 실제적인 관점에서 재해석하였다. 그리고 이를 바탕으로 효과적인 지리교육의 통합적 접근방안을 모형화하였다. 지리교육의 통합적 접근방안은 통합된 지식을 제공하는 데 목적을 두는 것이 아니라, 지리적 관점을 중심으로 하여 생찰 세계를 이해하도록 하는 인식의 틀을 학습자에게 제공하는 데 있다. 이 방안에 의하면 지리교육의 중핵개념은 자연환경, 인간과 환경, 공간구조이며, 이에 대한 학습과정에서 인접 관련 학문분야와 관련을 맺도록 되어 있다. 교육과정 개발과정에서 이 방안이 검토되고 교육현장에서 통합교육과정을 운영하는 초등 교사들이 이를 구체화하여 적용할 것을 권한다.

  • 이 연구의 목적은 구성주의의 특성과 그것을 적용한 방법에 관한 문헌을 조사 분석하고, 이에 따른 과학교육의 여러 측면 또는 우리나라 과학교육이 나아갈 방향의 시사점을 모색하는데 있다. 먼저, 구성주의의 특성에 대하여 그 의미와 주장, 이론적 배경과 종류, 그에 관한 비판으로 나누어 기술하였으며, 그 다음 과학교육의 측면 또는 나아갈 방향은 목적, 과학 학습이론과 모형, 과학 교수학습 방법, 과학 교육과정과 평가로 나누어 논의하였다. 과학철학으로서의 구성주의에 따르면, 과학과 그 지식은 사회적 특성을 지니며 그 성과에는 반드시 가치관이나 집단 이익이 관련되어 있다. 그러므로 과학교육의 궁극적인 목적은 의사결정력의 함양에 두어야 하며, 이런 목적을 달성할 수 있는 교육과정은 학습경험과 주제가 통합된 과제 중심으로 개발하는 것이 바람직하다. 심리학으로서의 구성주의에 따르면, 학습이 이루어지는 과정은 사회적 과정이다. 이런 학습의 전략으로는 협동학습과 역할놀이가 효과적이다. 또한 구성주의에 따른 과학교육 평가에서는 수행평가를 강조한다.
