본 연구에서는 교육대학원에서 초등과학교육을 전공하고 있는 28명의 교사들을 참여자로 하여 그들의 생활 세계 속에서 형성된 과학 수업의 의미를 현상학적인 관점에서 탐색해 보았다. 그 결과, 초등 교사들에게 과학 수업의 의미는 일양(一樣)하게 나타나는 것이 아니라 교사들이 경험하는 상황에 따라 조금씩 달라진다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 즉, 열정이 넘치는 초임교사 시절에 과학은 그 즐거움을 학생들과 나누고 싶은 교과이다. 그래서 교사들은 과학 수업뿐만 아니라 과학과 관련된 학교 일을 도맡아 할 정도로 의욕을 보인다. 하지만 점차로 좋은 과학 수업을 고민하게 되고실험과 초등학교 학생들의 특성을 깨닫게 되면서 고민은 더욱 깊어진다. 과학 수업을 둘러싼 초등 교사들의 이러한 고민이 실제로 좋은 과학 수업으로 승화되어 나타나기에는 학교의 과중한 업무, 실험실 사고, 가정을 돌봐야 하는 부담이 장애 요인으로 작용한다. 이러한 어려움 속에서도 교사들은 더 좋은 과학 수업을 위한 고민과 노력을 다시 시작하지만, 그러한 노력에도 불구하고 과학 수업은 여전히 잘 되지 않는 부분이 있기 때문에 초등학교 교사들에게는 "채워지지 않는 잔(盞)"처럼 남아 있다.

The purpose of this study was to analyse the influence of mother's characteristics on elementary school students' attitudes toward science. Elementary school students (N=667) and their mothers (N=681) were selected from three other regions, big city, small city, and country. Attitudes toward science and supports for scientific activities were measured by two kinds of instruments. The instrument for the measurement of attitudes toward science includes three scales: cognition about value of science, affection toward science & science learning, and cognitive participation in scientific activities. And the instrument to measure parents' support for scientific activities includes two scales: indirect support and direct support. This research showed that mothers' various characteristics resulted in a difference in students' attitudes toward science. And there were positive correlations between students' attitudes toward science and their mothers' attitudes toward science and support for scientific activities. Also mothers' attitudes toward science and support for scientific activities affected students' attitudes. Especially, mothers' personal interest in science and her mental and physical supports for children's scientific activities had a close relation with students' attitudes toward science.

Dietitians' satisfaction between elementary school and high school in KangWon Do region were surveys with questionnaires. 61 elementary school dietitians and 30 high school dietitians participated. The dietitians in elementary schools had higher scores in age, marital status, years at work, types of employment, average annual income and had lesser hours of work. In overall, elementary schools had higher percentage on self operation and on the period of their food distribution to students. High schools had higher percentage on conventional systems, freedom in the amount of food distribution, number of meals per day and the meal charge. It was clear that dietitians in high schools showed more interests in changing their careers due to the poor working environment and salary. The highest score was on the relationship with other coworkers and the lowest score was on the poor working environment and salary. In general, dietitians in both types of schools are not satisfied with their career, especially with the working environment and salary.

Elementary students' behaviors classifying leaves have been analyzed according to the material types provided for the classification class. 199 sixth grade students were participated in the task classifying the leaves of various plants for the research. The three types of materials provided to them for the class were real leaves, photos of the leaves and explanation cards including the photos of leaves. One of the research findings was that the only material made students handle in the observed behaviors was the real leave of the material types given as classifying. Three were differences between groups in the time required and the number of using criteria for the class. The numbers of criteria had been applied to analyzing their behaviors as classifying the real leaves which were less than those with photo materials. The amount of taken time to classify the real leaves and photo materials were less than those of another material. Finally, the contents of criteria did not differ between groups except appearing properties presented to the task with photo and explanation materials. It is expected that the research can be contributed for elementary school teachers and for curriculum developers to choose appropriate instructional materials as constructing curriculum contents for elementary science to make elementary school students acquire classifying skill in science classes.
