This paper presents an analytical framework of Conceptual Understandings of Earth Systems (CUES) that shows a relationship between disciplinary knowledge of Earth systems and the specific thinking skills required to understand that knowledge. This framework is developed through an extensive literature review of students' and teachers' understandings of earth systems concepts and systems thinking in earth science context. This study first presents the categories of disciplinary knowledge of Earth systems, Earth System Knowledge (ESK). This study then illustrates a relationship between categories of ESK and the ontological categories (Matter, Process, Systems) that has been used to study students' conceptual understandings of Earth systems. Finally, this study presents the CUES framework to show the relationship between disciplinary knowledge and thinking skills. The implications of using this framework for curriculum development, assessment, and teacher education and ESS research are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to develop a program based on the Earth system based program to help students achieve science literacy. This program was designed to be connected across grade levels, and contents of the program were constructed to have meaningful interdisciplinary context. All the activities in the program were inquiry-based, and understanding of the nature of science was considered essential throughout the program. In addition, appreciation and stewardship for the Earth system were systematically emphasized on any grade level. Design of the program applied U.S. National Science Education Standards for the quality of and conditions for school science programs.

This study is a report of the collaborative action research which has been conducted between a Korean earth science teacher and science education researcher. A two-year long action research effort was made in order to improve the teacher’s earth science classrooms in pursuit of constructivist principles of learning. The process of the action research was described with the aim of increasing the awareness of science teachers and science education researchers regarding action research. Quantitative evidence was presented to indicate the effectiveness of the collaborative action research in creating constructivist learning environments in the classrooms. The process and quantitative evidence from the action research permitted a consideration of implications for future efforts to improve science classrooms.

2000년대에 들어와서 강력하게 추진되고 있는 국내 학회와 학술지에 대한 평가는 학회와 학술지의 장래를 결정하게 되는데 여기에 대한 한국지구과학회의 대응과 그 결과를 제시하고 앞으로 지구과학이 어떤 방향으로 연구하고 교육해야 하는지를 토의해 보고자 한다. 2002년에 실시된 학술진흥재단 평가에서 한국지구과학회지가 우수하게 평가되어 학술진흥재단의 등재지로 선정되었으며, 한국지구과학회의 정체성을 결정하는 지구과학 학문 분류 (2002년도)가 학술진흥재단에 그대로 반영되었다. 그리고 2003년도부터 국가 학문 분류를 확정하기 위하여 KISTEP(한국과학기술기획평가원)에서 실시한 공청회와 의견 수렴에 적극적으로 참여하여 우리의 학문 분류 안을 관철시켰다. 그리고 2003년도 학술진흥재단학문분류를 위하여 지구과학분야의 학문 분류 안을 제출하였다. 앞으로도 학술지 평가와 학문 분류 조정이 계속적으로 이루어지기 때문에 지구과학의 정체성과 함께 지구과학의 학문 분류에 대하여 지속적으로 연구해야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to explore the applying possibility of the Earth Systems Education(ESE) in elementary school science education through the improving of students' recognition with the earth systematic nature by systems thinking education - for this was the recognizing as earth systematic nature was the key element of ESE, and the systems thinking skill is accredited very effective tool for the understanding with earth systematic nature. For this, the systems thinking's teaching-learning programs were developed and applied to the 6th students (21s) for 10hours' classes. The results of this study are as follows; In most of the 6th students didn't recognize with earth systematic nature from a lack of understanding of the vapor being in every nature environments. In systems teaching-learning classes, most of students participated positively in learning activities and achieved the aim of a lesson. In the testing results for students' recognition improving to earth systematic nature after the systems thinking education, about 24% students were showed the improving results of the recognition with earth systematic nature. Consequently, It is suggested that just as the achieving of the points of ESE in elementary school science education, the approaching method of the systems thinking education is worth attempting to applying of the ESE.

This research is aimed to examine the differences through comparative analysis of the Earth Science contents in the science textbooks between Korea and DPRK. The contents of level and scope in science textbooks between Korea and DPRK are analysed by TIMSS frameworks. The results of this research are as follows : 1. The science textbooks of DPRK is lower in quality of paper, printing to that of Korea, and the illustrations, editing design in the textbooks of DPRK are fewer, monochromic and monotonous while those in Korea. 2. The contents of Earth Science in DPRK's science textbooks rank 37.0%, but those of Korea's science textbooks rank 25.5% of the whole textbooks. The learning units related to Earth Science are generally similar to the level and scope in science textbooks between Korea and DPRK. The type of inquire activities in the textbooks of DPRK largely takes on the model experiment, and it was shown that the number of experiments directly made by children is very small compared to Korea' textbooks. 3. There are lots of differences in Earth Science learning terms and predicates used in the textbooks between Korea and DPRK.

Some fine specimens of Annulariopsis bunkeiensis were collected from two fossil sites of the Amisan Formation of Nampo Group distributed in the Jogaegol, Boryeng City, Chungnam Province. According to our detailed study from our new material, the leaves of A. bunkeiensis are not mucronate, but emarginate at their apices. Accordingly, we revised the diagnostic characters given by Kimura and Kim (1988) mainly in regard to the leaf apex.

이 연구는 일본지학교육학회가 발간한 $\ulcorner$지학교육(地學敎育)$\lrcorner$에 게재된 논문을 통해서 일본의 지구과학교육 연구 동향을 분석하는 데 목적이 있다. 연구 대상은 1998년부터 2003년까지 6년 동안 발간한 총 129편의 논문이다. 일본의 $\ulcorner$지학교육(地學敎育)$\lrcorner$은 1년에 6회 발간되고 있으며, 매 학회지마다 평균 4편 내외의 논문이 게재되고 있다. 연평균 20편 내외로 꾸준하게 발간되고 있지만, 발행 횟수에 비하여 논문의 수는 비교적 적은 편이다. 이 학회지에 게재된 논문 당 연구자의 수는 단독인 경우가 눈에 띄게 많다(약 60%). 내용별로 살펴보면, 지질학 관련 교육 논문이 가장 많으며(41.1%), 해양학 관련 교육 논문(1.6%)과 과학교육학적 논의를 한 논문(1.6%)이 가장 적다. 일본의 지구과학교육 연구의 특징을 나열하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 일본에서 쉽게 접할 수 있는 자연 재해인 화산, 지진, 쓰나미 등을 다룬 논문이 많다. 둘째, 지역을 기반으로 한 야외 지질조사나 화석에 관한 논문이 상당 부분을 차지한다. 셋째, 환경교육을 지구과학교육에 접목시키려는 시도를 하고 있다. 넷째, '컴퓨터와 지구과학교육' 같은 새로운 교육 방법을 받아들이려는 노력을 보이고 있다.

This study aimed to explore how to characterize the earth science inquiry in schools in terms of science teaching interaction and constructivist teaching practice. The constructivist teaching practices were analyzed with Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP) in three aspects including (1) student oriented class implementation, (2) subject knowledge and representation, and (3) classroom communication. Fourteen earth science classes were observed and scored with RTOP. The class was evaluated to be transitional stage in terms of constructivist teaching, e.g., moving toward student-centered teaching practice. Especially, Korean teachers tend to lean their classes more on propositional knowledge than procedural knowledge. To interpret science teaching interactions, an earth science teacher with a RTOP top rank was selected. Her class was then videotaped for detailed analysis. I adopted the analytical framework of communicative approaches and discourse patterns among the five aspects of interactions presented by Mortimer and Scott (2003). It was found that this earth science teacher used more authoritative patterns than the dialogic. In addition, she used IRE discourse pattern more frequently. Interestingly, teachers interacted with their students more frequently in the form of repeated (or IRE chain pattern), that is IRFRF (teacher initiation-student response-teacher feedback-student response-teacher feedback) in the context of dialogic communicative approaches, while simple IRE occurred in an authoritative approach. In earth science classrooms, typical interaction may well be constructed in the form of IRFRF chains to allow students free conjectures and abduction.

We introduce the National Science Curriculum issued by the Education Ministry in Korea. Astronomy should be given and taught as compulsory courses in Nature of elementary school, Science of middle school, General Science of high school, and as elective courses in Earth Science I, II. Astronomy concepts have been designed in sprial pattern. College levels of astronomy have been given as majoring in astronomy course, cultivating one for earth science pre-teacher students and cultural subjects for non-major students
