The purpose of this study is find out the correlation of level of knowledge of pre-service elementary teacher with space perception ability on 'Earth and Space' of elementary science. During the second semester of 2013, for 15 weeks, the classes were conducted for 3 hours per week and we find out knowledge Understanding degree and select terms offered by 5th grade science courses 'The solar system and the stars', 'Earth and Moon', 'change of seasons' section and measured space perception ability degree of pre-service elementary school teacher with a questionnaire. We analyzed the correlation of understanding level of knowledge in the field of astronomy of pre-service elementary school teacher with space perception ability. The results of the study are presented as follows. First, pre-service elementary school teacher showed a low level of knowledge understanding as it goes the upper grades about upper concept in 'The solar system and the stars', 'Earth and Moon', 'change of seasons' section' of astronomy area of elementary science 'Earth and space sector'. The pre-service elementary school teachers needs to acquire knowledge of astronomy area in elementary school curriculum. Second, pre-service elementary school teacher showed that there are differences individually in 'finding solid body' of sub-element of space perception ability. This shows that 'finding solid body' factor is associated with space perception ability. Third, in the section of 'The earth and the Universe' for elementary education, 'Reflection' and 'Finding solid body' which are low-level components of space perception ability were verified that have a corelationship with general grades in the astronomy conception test.

Lyman alpha photons emitted from the early generation galaxies are scattered through the intergalactic medium, and can be observed as Lyman alpha emitting sources. We examine the Lyman alpha line transfer mechanism by tracing the random scattering histories of Lyman alpha photons in the intergalactic medium of the early universe. The density and ionization fields are based on the 3D map by N-body + radiation transfer simulations of the epoch of reionization. The calculation is compared with analytical models, too. The emergent line profile and the size of the Lyman alpha blob are strongly tied to the density and ionization environment, likely to give constraints when high-z Lyman alpha blobs are observed.

The article deals with issues related to the tradition of carpet production on the territory of Kazakhstan where, for the most part, tribes engaged in nomadic livestock raising lived. Analyzing the technological component of this traditional craft, the author focuses on the main factor that influenced carpet weaving along with arts and crafts-the nomadic method of production of the Kazakhs. The study of the ideological component that accompanies the process of making various types of carpets allows us to conclude that it has a sacred meaning and subordination to myth, rite, and ritual. At the mythmaking level, the process of making carpets, like any other activity among nomads, personified the process of creating the world, the marriage of Kok-Tengri (Heaven) and Zher-Su (Earth), and the creation of the Cosmos from Chaos. The process of carpet weaving, as well as the process of making felt, symbolized the act of creation, the marriage of Heaven and Earth, and male and female principles. The study of various types of ornaments that Kazakhs and their ancestors used to decorate carpets allows us to conclude that the ornament applied to carpet products was the bearer of the most valuable information about the mythological worldview of the people. Carpets in their structure reproduced the structure of the Universe, which has a binary, ternary, and quaternary system. The ornament has turned into a kind of coded text, reflecting ideas about the cosmogonic structure of the Universe and an awareness of the harmony of the world. The location of Kazakhstan on the northern routes of the Sogdian Road (Great Silk Road) allowed the spread of various ideas, due to which carpet weaving was influenced by other peoples in technical and stylistic design.

Ancient Indian medicine, Ayulveda that had been developed during the period from 1500B.C. to 1000A.D. was a part of Atharva Veda in Vedas, ancient religious literature. Ayurveda accumulated wisdom of life from time immemorial presents that an individual entity is required to live in harmony with nature or universe according to its constitution. Ayurveda is the medical science that grasps individual constitution through Tridosha, a combination of five primary elements(space, wind, fire, water, and earth), and systemetically explains physiological and pathological phenomena which reveal according to the constitution. In Ayurveda, diseases are classfied by various diagnostic methods, and the state of sound body, mind and spirit is maintained by several unique theraphies and regimens. Ayurveda has (once) been developed in the form of monk medicine since it was transmitted as the buddistic medicine in China and Korea. It has a lot of similarities to the oriental medicine that systematizes the theory of holistic idea on the basis that the human body is a small universe corresponding to nature. The oriental medicine and Ayurveda, two main axes of the oriental medicine arouse western medical schools' interest by their perculiar views of the disease and the system of their medical theories. And they are expected to render services to human health.

Recent observations of galaxy clusters in radio and X-ray indicate that cosmic rays and magnetic fields may be energetically important in the intracluster medium. According to the estimates based on theses observational studies, the combined pressure of these two components of the intracluster medium may range between $10\%{\~}100\%$ of gas pressure, although their total energy is probably time dependent. Hence, these non-thermal components may have influenced the formation and evolution of cosmic structures, and may provide unique and vital diagnostic information through various radiations emitted via their interactions with surrounding matter and cosmic background photons. We suggest that shock waves associated with cosmic structures, along with individual sources such as active galactic nuclei and radio galaxies, supply the cosmic rays and magnetic fields to the intracluster medium and to surrounding large scale structures. In order to study 1) the properties of cosmic shock waves emerging during the large scale structure formation of the universe, and 2) the dynamical influence of cosmic rays, which were ejected by AGN-like sources into the intracluster medium, on structure formation, we have performed two sets of N-body /hydrodynamic simulations of cosmic structure formation. In this contribution, we report the preliminary results of these simulations.

The discovery of GW150914, black hole - black hole merger via gravitational waves (GWs) opened a new window to observe the Universe. GW frequencies from heavenly bodies and early Universe are expected to span between sub-nHz up to kHz. At present, GW detectors on Earth (LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA, LIGO-India) aims frequency ranges between 10-2000 Hz. The space-borne GW detector and Pulsar Timing Array targets mHz and nHz sources. Starting in March 2017, the KKN (KASI-KISTI-NIMS) collaboration launched a pilot study of SLGT (Superconducting Low-frequency Gravitational-wave Telescope). This project is funded by NST (Korea Institute of Science and Technology). The main detection bands expected for SLGT ranges between 0.1-10Hz, which is complementary of LIGO-type detectors and LISA for multi-band GW observation. We will present an overview of the SLGT project and report the status of the NST pilot study. We will also present prospective of GW astronomy with SLGT.

A novel method to characterize the topology of the early-universe intergalactic medium during the epoch of cosmic reionization is presented. The 21-cm radiation background from high redshift is analyzed through calculation of the 2-dimensional (2D) genus. The radiative transfer of hydrogen- ionizing photons and ionization-rate equations are calculated in a suite of numerical simulations under various input parameters. The 2D genus is calculated from the mock 21-cm images of high-redshift universe. We construct the 2D genus curve by varying the threshold differential brightness temperature, and compare this to the 2D genus curve of the underlying density field. We find that (1) the 2D genus curve reflects the evolutionary track of cosmic reionization and (2) the 2D genus curve can discriminate between certain reionization scenarios and thus indirectly probe the properties of radiation-sources. Choosing the right beam shape of a radio antenna is found crucial for this analysis. Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is found to be a suitable apparatus for this analysis in terms of sensitivity, even though some deterioration of the data for this purpose is unavoidable under the planned size of the antenna core.

4년 주기로 반복되는 TIMSS 연구는 2016년 말에 TIMSS 2015 결과를 발표하였다. TIMSS 2015에서 우리나라 중학교 2학년의 과학 성취도는 이전 주기인 TIMSS 2011의 평균점수와 유사하며, 참여국 중 4위로 TIMSS 2011에 비해 1단계가 낮아졌다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 중학교 2학년 지구과학 영역을 중심으로 TIMSS 2015 문항과 우리나라 교육과정의 일치도를 분석하고, TIMSS 2015 지구과학 평가틀의 평가주제별로 우리나라 학생들의 정답률과 응답경향을 분석하였다. 교육과정 일치도를 분석함에 있어서 제7차 교육과정부터 2015 개정 교육과정까지를 분석대상으로 삼았다. 연구결과에 따르면, 교육과정에서 다룬 문항일수록 우리나라 학생들의 정답률이 높게 나타나며, 우리나라 학생들의 경우 선택형 문항에 비해 자유롭게 답을 적도록 한 구성형 문항의 정답률이 절반가량으로 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 지구과학 평가주제별로는, 지구의 구조와 물리적 특징, 지구의 변화와 역사 등을 포괄하는 '고체 지구' 영역의 경우 교육과정에서 다루어진 선택형 문항의 정답률은 높은 반면에, 실생활과 연계된 문항이나 생물 등 다른 과학영역과 연계된 문항의 경우 정답률이 낮게 나타났다. 지구의 순환을 포괄하는 '대기와 해양' 영역의 경우, 지역별 기후 비교나 지구온난화의 특징 등에 대한 우리나라 학생들의 정답률이 낮게 나타났는데 일부 내용은 중학교 사회과 지리 영역에서 다루는 것으로 나타났다. 태양계와 우주에서의 지구를 포괄하는 '우주' 영역의 경우, 지구의 자전과 공전, 달의 중력 등은 초등학교에서부터 학습한 내용이어서 높은 정답률을 나타내었다. 연구결과를 토대로 우리나라 중학교 지구과학 교육과정 개선 및 교수학습 개선 방안을 초등학교와 중학교교육과정에서 지구과학 내용의 연계성 확보, 학교 평가에서 서술형 문항의 출제 경향 변화의 필요성, 과학탐구 관련 역량 신장의 필요성 등의 측면에서 제안하였다.

이 연구의 목적은, 아리스토텔레스의 자연관, 즉 정적인 우주관의 특징을 이해하고 교육에의 함의를 찾는 것이다. 플라톤은 세계를 이해하는 최상의 방법은 기하학 및 수학적 규칙성 관점에서 불완전한 관찰보다는 이성적 접근법을 사용해서 자연세계를 해석하고자 하였다. 반면에 아리스토텔레스는 우리 눈에 보이는 것을 관찰함으로서 세계를 이해할 수 있다고 여겼다. 이 세계는 합목적성으로 사물의 목적이 충만한 정적인 세계관이다. 또한, 질서의 세계를 향하는 자연스런 운동인 지상의 물체와 천체의 자연스러운 운동이 본래적인 행동이라는 것이다. 아리스토텔레스는 기회가 주어진다면, 모든 자연적 사물들이 어떤 운동, 즉 그것들의 자연적인 운동을 수행할 것이라고 생각했다. 무엇보다도 플라톤과 아리스토텔레스가 구축한 세계는 정적인 우주인 것이다. 인간과 독립하여 존재하는 객관적인 자연에 인간의 이성과 관찰로 접근하여 세계를 온전히 파악 가능하다는 것이다. 결국 플라톤과 마찬가지로 아리스토텔레스에게는 자연계가 당혹스러울 정도로 지속적으로 변화하는 듯 보이는 복잡성에도 불구하고 규칙적이며 질서정연한 자연법칙의 지배를 받는다는 그들의 믿음은 서양사고의 근간이 되었다. 고대 그리스와 근대철학의 형이상학적 관점인 우주는 이미 완성되었거나 계획된 것, 이상적이고 필연적인 것으로 이해의 이분법적 논리(가지 잘라내기)의 개발에 의존하기 때문에 학습자의 의견이 중시되지 않는 전통적인 교수-학습의 기반이 되는 것으로, 현재 진화론에 따른 구성주의 교수-학습과는 차이가 있다고 할 수 있다.
