The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the 'Chemistry and Experiment' course employing the Small-Scale Chemistry(SSC) experiment on the 30 pre-service elementary teachers' attitude toward laboratory work and their science teaching efficacy. This study also examined the perception of the pre-service elementary teachers about the SSC experiment. In the result, there were found significant interactions between the treatment and prior level in attitude toward laboratory work. The attitude toward laboratory work of low-level pre-service teachers was improved while that of high-level pre-service teachers remained unchanged. However, there was no significant change in their beliefs regarding science teaching efficacy. Through the analysis of questionnaire, it was also found that they had positive perceptions about the SSC experiment, and most of them as pre-service teachers found the SSC experiment helpful to teach chemistry experiments.

In this paper, we suggested that those elementary school students who are gifted in science should be taught basic and fundamental concepts to solve applied problems. We developed a teaching model based on a lesson regarding the path that light takes when passing through a lens on the base of refraction of light. We applied the teaching model to scientifically-gifted elementary school students and analyzed the results. The teaching model is based on the circulation loaming model appropriate for learning such concepts. The problems were designed and applied in order to determine the students' level of concept skills held and also to develop new teaching tools to help their understanding of concepts. As a result, we confirmed that the students, who were unable to describe the path of the light before the course of instruction was given, were able to draw and explain the path of light passing trough lens by using the law of refraction following the instruction.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a teaching-learning program using the history of science on elementary school students' academic achievement, science attitude, and science process skill. Subjects were 72 students of two groups in the 5th Grade. A experimental group of 36 was instructed 10 lessons in unit of 'our body' using the history of science. The history of science materials used in this program included 4 explicit method, which are Eii, Eij, Eik and Ea type, and 1 implicit method which is I type. The contents validity of this program was reviewed by the science education specialists. The results of the study were as follows: Students of experimental group showed statistically more significant increase in academic achievement and science attitude than control group students. However, there was no significant difference on science process skill between the instruction by applying a teaching-learning program using the history of science and the traditional instruction. Since this program using the history of science is effective for the attitude improvement of elementary school students as well as academic achievement, it is highly likely to be used as the science education material for students with the low affective area.

본 연구에서는 초등학교 과학수업의 실태를 탐구하고 그 개선 방안을 탐색하였다. 초등학교 과학수업의 경우 교사들 스스로 과학개념이나 내용에서 오개념을 갖고 있는 경우가 많이 발견된다. 이렇듯 초등교사들이 과학에 부담을 느끼고 과학내용지식에 부족함을 느끼는 상태에서 수업을 하게 되면, 좋은 수업이나 학생들에게 유의미한 수업이 되기는 어렵다고 경력교사들은 지적하였다. 이러한 초등학교 수업의 전반적인 특징과 초등교사들의 과학내용지식에 대한 문제의식에 대한 이해를 토대로 본 연구에서는 초등학교 과학수업의 실태를 탐구하였다. 수업동영상 분석을 위한 컨설팅 협의회, 초등교사와의 면담 등을 활용하여 학생들이 초등학교 저학년에서는 과학을 가장 선호하다가 고학년이 되면서 과학을 가장 기피하는 이유, 초등 과학수업에서 활동이나 실험이 반드시 필요한 이유, 초등 과학수업에서 hands-on 활동에 머물지 않고 minds-on 활동을 만드는 방안 등을 논의하였다. 또한 초등 과학수업을 개선하기 위한 방안으로 초등교사의 과학내용전문성 재교육의 필요성, 초등과 중등 간의 교류의 필요성, 초임교사 지원을 위한 공식적인 입문 프로그램의 필요성, 초등학교 5, 6학년의 경우 교과전담 체제 도입의 필요성 등을 논의하였다. 연구결과를 토대로 초등학교 과학수업 내실화를 위해 요청되는 초등학교 현직교사 연수 방안을 제언하였다.
