The purpose of this study was to investigate the contents of pre-service early childhood teacher's practicum experience in kindergartens and child care centers through the analysis of practice teaching journals. The subjects of this study were a total 52 practice teaching journals of 26 pre-service early childhood teachers who completed their practicum in kindergartens and child care centers. This study analyzed the type of teaching practice management, the type of activities, and the contents of journal writings. The findings are as follows; First, pre-service teachers experienced a similar ratio of the type of teaching practice management in both types of teaching practice. Second, pre-service teachers performed more group activities in practicum in kindergartens, but more choice activities in practicum in child care centers. Third, the journal writing contents of pre-service teachers in both types of teaching practice mainly addressed the operating of educational and child care activities, and the execution of observing young children. But some categories of teacher's competency were hardly addressed. The results of this study could be used as basic data for designing early childhood practicum programs.

This study is intended to investigate the frequency of scientific writing tasks in Korean and American science textbooks, to compare the differences in types of posing the writing tasks according to the level of the children's scientific cognition, and to analyze the differences in the organization and development of writing ones of each chapter and thus to propose an effective way of presenting scientific writing in science textbooks. Korean 'Science' and 'Experiment Observation Workbook'and Macmillan Mcgraw-Hill(MMH) Science for fourth graders were analyzed for the purpose. The results are as follows: First, Korean textbooks contain more science writing tasks per pages, and less per chapters than MMH one. Both text books provide balanced amount of science writing tasks, yet MMH especially does systematic exercises for each chapter. Second, the qualitative analysis of the textbooks' scientific writing shows that both textbooks contain a significant amount of "understanding" and "explanatory" writing, which reflects that the purpose of writing in science textbooks is leaning towards acquiring and verifying scientific concepts. In American textbooks, however, writings utilizing extensive cognition process and materials are also present. It is necessary for textbooks to present diverse and expressive writing assignments including personal opinions. Third, there are differences in organization and development of science writing tasks. Science writing tasks in Korean textbooks are present independently with lesson objectives of the chapters and practices, while those in MMH are systematically developed. Based on these results, it is necessary to systemize the textbooks' way of presenting writing tasks for effective teaching and learning. By organizing the writing materials and thus developing diverse materials, and by implementing extensive cognitive process in the writing activities, textbooks will be able to contribute in attracting the students' interests and in improving their scientific knowledge.

본 연구는 1948년에 발행된 생물학자 조복성의 저작인 "곤충이야기"와 "곤충기"를 대상으로 형태 및 체제, 내용분석을 통해 두 저작의 특징과 구성 및 내용에 대해 심도 있게 살펴보았다. 을유문화사의 병설단체인 아협에서 발행한 "곤충이야기"는 A5판의 국판(菊版), 을유문화사에서 발행한 "곤충기"는 A6판 문고판으로 출간되었다. 또한 "곤충이야기"는 앞표지-표제지-머리말-차례-본문-판권기-광고-뒤표지로, "곤충기"는 앞표지-표제지-목차-서언-본문-판권기-을유문고 발간사(發刊辭)-광고-뒤표지의 체제로 구성되었다. 두 저작의 내용을 통해 주요 독자층은 "곤충이야기"의 경우 어린이 및 소학생, "곤충기"는 대학생 및 청년으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 "곤충이야기"에서는 65종 곤충을 조복성이 설정한 11개의 류(類), "곤충기"는 약 56종의 곤충에 대해 9개의 류(類)의 분류체계에 따라 설명했다. 두 저작에 수록된 곤충의 수와 분류체계의 명칭은 서로 달랐으나 "곤충이야기"의 분류체계 대부분이 "곤충기"의 것에 수용됨을 확인했다.
