In this study, we investigated the effects of cooperative learning by the levels of students' performance goal orientation in science classes on 6th graders' science achievement and science learning motivation. Two classes (47 students) from an elementary school were respectively assigned to a control group and a treatment group. A performance goal orientation test and a science learning motivation test were administered as pretests. The intervention of cooperative learning lasted for 24 class periods. A researcher-made achievement test and the science learning motivation test were administered after the instructions. ANCOVA results indicated that the score of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group in the achievement test. However, no interaction was found between the cooperative learning treatment and the levels of students' performance goal orientation. There were significant aptitude-treatment interactions in science learning motivation.

본 연구에서는 중학교 과학교과서에서 많이 제시되는 과학 개념 모형에 대해 학생들로 하여금 단순히 읽고 지나가는 것이 아니라 주목하고 분석해 보는 시간을 갖게 하는 것이 과학 개념 학습에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 조사하였다. 과학 개념 모형에 좀 더 주목하고 분석해 보게 하는 방법으로 본 연구에서는 미완성 과학 개념 완성 활동과 과학 개념 모형 수정 활동을 고안하였으며, 이들 활동을 전통적 수업활동과 비교하였다. 연구 대상으로는 B광역시 소재 1개 중학교 3학년 학생 112명(3개 학급)을 표집하였다. 이렇게 표집한 3개 학급은 각각 미완성 개념 모형을 완성하는 활동, 주어진 개념 모형을 수정하는 활동, 전통적인 과학 수업 활동을 하도록 하고 그 성취도를 비교하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 첫째, 미완성 과학 개념 모형 완성활동은 전통적 과학 수업 활동에 배해 중학생들의 과학개념 학습에 효과적이라고 할 수 있다. 또한, 개념 모형 완성 활동을 통한 성취도는 학생들의 학교 성적이 높을수록 높고, 학생들의 인지 수준이 구체적 조작 단계에 있는 학생이거나 과도기에 있는 학생들이 높다. 둘째, 과학 개념 모형의 수정 활동은 전통적 과학수업 활동에 비해 중학생들의 과학 개념 학습에 효과적이라고 말하기 어렵다. 또한, 과학 개념 모형의 수정활동을 통한 성취도는 학생들의 학교 성적이 높을수록 높기는 하지만 하위 수준 학생들의 경우에는 수업 후 성취도가 높아지지 않음을 볼 때 개념 모형 수정 활동은 중학생 수준에는 적합하지 않다고 할 수 있다. 셋째, 중학교 학생들의 경우에는 미완성 과학 개념 모형의 완성 활동을 통한 수업이 과학 개념 모형 수정 활동을 통한 수업에 비해 개념 학습에 효과적이다.

The variety of learners include students with disabilities and general students, and an ongoing focus of inclusive education research is non-discrimination. As part of integrated education, UDL (Universal Design for Learning) for students with disabilities supports a practical approach, participation, and advancement to improve learning opportunities for all students. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of using UDL in science classes. The dependent variables of this study were academic achievement in science, scientific attitude, and scientific motivation. In this study, the experimental groups were 9 people in the 5th grade and 11 people in 6th grade. The experimental groups were taught science class using UDL. In order to analyze the learning outcomes, the structure equation model was performed. The results of this study were as follows: First, the science achievement of learning outcomes of the science class applying UDL directly affected both scientific attitude and scientific motivation. Second, the scientific attitude of learning outcomes of the science class applying UDL directly did not affect scientific motivation. According to these results, learning outcomes for science achievement of the science class applying UDL showed that UDL affected both general students and students with disabilities. To summarize the analysis of learning outcomes, science achievement directly affected both scientific attitude and scientific motivation while scientific attitude did not affect scientific motivation. This study offered a specific implementation method for integrated education. Using the structure equation model for analyzing the effect has more significance.

The purpose of this study is to construct a structural equation model and to analyze causal relationships among variables related to attitudes to science using structural equation modeling(SEM) with LISREL VII. The sample consisted of 483 10th grade boys from a general high school in Pusan, Korea. The questionnaires (ABC-attitude scale: affection, behavioral intention, cognition scale of attitude towards science) were developed by the researcher through a pilot study. And other instruments have modified previous ones. Five instruments were used in this study: GALT(group assessment of logical thinking), MTSlS(modified test of science inquiry skill), ABC-attitude scale, MSAS(modified scientific attitude scale), CSAT(common science achievement test). Structural equation modeling with LISREL VII($J\ddot{o}reskog$ & $S\ddot{o}rbom,$ 1993) was employed to estimate the causal inferences about hypothesized relationships among observed data sets. Three competing models consisted of five latent variable(scientific thinking ability, science inquiry skill, attitude towards science, scientific attitude, science achievement) - lP(inquiry preceding) model, AP(attitude preceding) model and AM(attitude mediating) model - were developed. Among these competing models, IP model satisfied the observed data sets. The causal relationships among "attitudes to science" and other latent variables were reliably identified. According to the results of the present study, science inquiry skill was the most significant variable that can predict science achievement. But scientific thinking ability has not directly influenced science achievement. This study suggests that inquiry based teaching-learning processes should be offered to students for improvement of science achievement. At the same time, it seems to be important to develop positive attitude towards science. Understanding of relationships among variables related to attitudes to science will be helpful to the development of science curriculum and to the design of science teaching and learning process. LISREL has been recognized as a useful approach in testing a SEM. However, in this study, LISREL approach was estimated as much more useful method for research design.

우리나라 초등학교 6학년 학생들을 대상으로 실시한 2009, 2010, 2011년 국가수준 학업성취도 평가 결과를 이용하여 학생들의 성취수준별 특징을 조사하였고, 초 중학교 학생들의 특징을 비교하였다. 초 중학생의 성취수준별 대표 문항 분석을 통하여 다음과 같은 내용을 알았다. 초 중학교 공통적으로 우수학력 학생들은 모두 교육과정의 성취기준을 정확히 이해하고 있었지만 보통학력 학생들은 용어를 단순히 기억하는 수준과 같이 교육과정의 성취기준을 피상적으로 이해하고 있었다. 그래서 보통학력 학생들은 교육과정 목표 달성을 위해 수업 및 평가에서 내용을 정확히 이해하도록 돕는 방안을 늘릴 필요가 있다. 예를들어 선다형 평가 대신 서술형 평가를 요구하는 교육환경은 개념을 정확히 이해하는 습관을 길러줄 수 있을 것이다. 기초학력 학생들은 교육과정의 성취기준을 거의 이해하지 못하고 있었기 때문에 단순한 상황에서 성취기준을 다루는 보정 교육을 실시할 필요가 있다. 교육과정에서 다루는 과학 개념은 학교급별로 위계적으로 구성되어 있기 때문에 기초학력 미달 수준을 위한 보정 교육만으로는 과학교육에서 학습 결손 문제를 해결할 수 없다. 이를 위해서는 과학에서 수준별 수업을 대폭 확대할 필요가 있다.

This study is aimed at exploring the effects on Science Inquiry Ability, Scientific Attitude and Science Achievement of the Elementary School Students according to the Input time of Web-Based Instruction Programs. As the object of the study, seventy-two students were selected from three classes in the fifth grade of Y Elementary School located in the city of T, Gyungsangnam-do. They were classified into the three groups such as Group A (Class 1), Group B (Class 2) and Group C (Class 3). The author threw web-based instruction programs into the begining of a unit, during a unit, the end of a unit to each group, and explored the effects. The results of this study were as follows: First, for the learning effect of science inquiry ability, it was indicated that there was the highest effect in the case of throwing web-based instruction programs into during a unit, but the effect reduced a little in the case of throwing them into the end of a unit. Secondly, the scientific attitudes tended to be reduced in the case of throwing them into during a unit, but there did not occur statistically significant improvement. Thirdly, the degree of improvement of the science achievement tended to be highest in the case of throwing them into the end of a unit. Such findings indicated that the time of throwing in web-based instruction programs affected science inquiry ability, scientific attitude and science achievement of elementary school students. Thus, it will be said that teachers need to teach their students with the class strategies of considering various scientific elements revealed at the time of throwing in web-based instruction programs.
