This paper deals with the effect of student characteristics from a case study on the different teaching evaluation scores under the same conditions of professor and course characteristics. In particular, focusing the evaluation score gabs caused by different course achievements of two classes, we can analyze the influence of the student characteristics and interpret the meaning. This case study shows that the student characteristics can lead out a distinct difference in the teaching evaluation scores under the most factors related to professors and courses are controlled, In conclusion, this case study could be appropriately used to support the interpretation of the student characteristic hypothesis among several hypotheses about the meaning of correlations between student achievement and teaching evaluation.

In this study, nations with high academic achievement but disparate affective achievement in science according to the results of the TIMSS 2007 were selected and students' responses in the main survey for affective properties from those nations were analyzed. In addition, Korean science teachers' perception of affective achievement and the properties of teaching and learning science was explored by an online survey. According to the results of the analysis of students' responses in the main survey, the percentage of those with high levels of confidence in, pleasure in, and value perception of science was large for Hong Kong, Singapore, and England but small for Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. When the properties of teaching and learning in actual science classes were observed in Korea, actual classes focused little on experimentation, research activities, and the context of everyday life. According to the results of surveys conducted on science teachers, students' low confidence in science was due to difficult and uninteresting curricula and the absolute lack of time to study science and their low interest in the subject was due to difficult curricula and the view that science was unrelated to their future academic or professional careers. In addition, according to the teachers, students' low value perception of science curricula was due to the fact that there was no need to excel in science for academic or professional careers and the idea that the subject was of no help to daily life.

This study aimed to evaluate correlation between self-evaluation factors and academic achievement of medical students according to introduction of explanation meeting in cadaveric dissection. The students explained cadaveric structure to health allied sciences students and discussed with each other. Just after the meeting, 102 medical students filled out a self-reported questionnaire on impact of self-evaluation factors and communication. The data were analyzed by frequency analysis, t-test and analysis of variance. Regardless of their gender, age, previous experience, the majority of the students gave high scores in all of self-evaluation factors. Among them, linkage with major and verbal communication factor were closely related to their academic achievement(p<0.05). The verbal and non-verbal communication factors also had a high correlation of 0.580(p<0.01). The explanation meeting provided a chance to learn further with positive attitude to medical students and motivated them academically.

This study aimed to evaluate correlation between self-evaluation factors(satisfaction, linkage with major, suitability of management, verbal and non-verbal communication) and academic achievement of medical students according to introduction of explanation meeting in cadaveric dissection. The study was carried out that medical students(n=57) explained cadaveric structure to health allied sciences students and discussed with each other. Just after the meeting,, medical students filled out a questionnaire on impact of self-evaluation factors and communication. We analyzed these factors and their scores using frequency analysis, T-test and analysis of variance. Regardless of their gender, age, previous experience, the majority of the students gave high scores in all of self-evaluation factors. Among them, only verbal communication factor was closely related to their academic achievement(p<0.05). The verbal and non-verbal communication also had a high correlation of 0.673(p<0.01). The explanation meeting provided chance to learn further with positive attitude to medical students and motivated them academically. Additionally, they realized that communication skill played a key role in transmitting medical knowledge to others. Therefore, introduction of communication-based explanation meeting would be very useful tool in improving educational efficiency.

This study aims to explore the direction of improvement that considers the talent image of science high schools in the admissions process. To this end, first, the talent image and competencies of science high schools were divided into 'publicity' and 'efficiency,' 'execution' and 'achievement' types, and 'publicity & execution' was predominant in most cases. Next, a total of 28 science high school teachers, education experts, and middle school teachers were surveyed on the degree of reflection of talent image and the direction of improvement in the admissions process of three science high schools. The results of the survey are as follows: first, the evaluation of 'publicity' was very limited in the first stage of admissions process, and selection based on 'achievement' was high. Second, there was a strong tendency to select based on 'efficiency & achievement' in the second stage of interview evaluation. Third, we need to improve the selection of students who fit the 'publicity & execution' type of talent image by introducing 'publicity & execution' type of talent image by introducing 'write a competency-oriented self-introduction letter, reflect other subjects' grades and comparative studies in the school life record, and experts' interviews' to the first-stage of admissions process. Fourth, convergence and open-ended questions that enable divergent thinking should be jointly submitted to reflect the 'publicity & execution' type of talent image in the second stage of interview evaluation. In conclusion, the direction of improvement that considers the talent image of science high schools in the admissions process should be changed to competency-oriented in the first-stage of admissions process and in the second stage of interview evaluation consisting of open-ended questions.

In this study, we have designed and established a formative evaluation system which provides the web-based corrective feedback in the current situation that the importance of feedback as well as the formative evaluation is getting highlighted in the course of learning and instruction. This system is composed of three types of corrective feedback. The first one is the informations providing feedback by stage. It provides the explanations or the correct answers-related informations for the wrong answered questions by stage and directly. The second one is the error corrective feedback, which provides the informations about the reasons of the errors on each wrong answered question so that the learner can correct his errors. Lastly, the corrective feedback by the accumulated marks shows the learner's total marks and their wrong answered questions to enable the learner to learn for themselves. We analyzed how these three corrective feedback effects on the learning achievement after applying them to learners, and testified the type of the most effective corrective feedback in enhancing the degree of learning achievement.

This study examined students' achievement of Earth science in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) that was conducted with 46 participating countries in 2003 and analyzed average percent-correct items for Earth science were analyzed in terms of subcategory, item type and cognitive domain. In addition, items showing a gender difference and a big difference in the test scores of Korean and international students were analyzed. Korean students performed higher than the international average, especially in the astronomy-related topic and in the cognitive domain of 'reasoning and analysis'. In an analysis of the five items that Korean students scored lower than the international average, Korean students performed not so well in demonstrating what they understood with drawings and writings. Korean female students showed a difficulty more than male students did in multiple-choice items that asked recalling of factual knowledge and demonstrated lack of confidence in the items that they have not learned yet. Based on the result content organization of Earth science curriculum and ways to improve teaching and loaming methods were recommended.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the chemistry curriculum between Korea and New Zealand. Both countries state that they want to cultivate their key competencies through the curriculum, and Korea' key competencies are similar to New Zealand'. Also, we find a strong correlation between key competencies of Korea science and achievement aims of the nature of science in New Zealand. Specially, the achievement standards that cultivate the key competencies are presented separately in New Zealand curriculum and NCEA, and confirms the achievement level through internal evaluation. By comparison, the curriculum content for chemistry is a good fit because of the overlap in the content. The Chemistry I is in the 7th level of New Zealand curriculum and the Chemistry II is in the 7th and 8th levels of New Zealand. However, there are some differences in hydrocarbon, ideal gas equation, colligative property and understanding of spectroscopic data.
