The purpose of this study is to suggest the modification of activities to introduce the nature of science in earth science classrooms. A small modification can turn ordinary textbook activities into the nature of science activities. Since earth science could provide a good basis for the tentative, creative, and socially and culturally embedded nature of science, as well as appropriate understanding about scientific methods, careful modification of earth science activities could be effective for students to understand the nature of science. Considering which aspects of the nature of science are appropriate, along with the possible change in the activity, teachers will be able to modify textbook activities effectively. An example modification of H-R diagram activity was also suggested.

The purpose of this study is to explore the applying possibility of the Earth Systems Education(ESE) in elementary school science education through the improving of students' recognition with the earth systematic nature by systems thinking education - for this was the recognizing as earth systematic nature was the key element of ESE, and the systems thinking skill is accredited very effective tool for the understanding with earth systematic nature. For this, the systems thinking's teaching-learning programs were developed and applied to the 6th students (21s) for 10hours' classes. The results of this study are as follows; In most of the 6th students didn't recognize with earth systematic nature from a lack of understanding of the vapor being in every nature environments. In systems teaching-learning classes, most of students participated positively in learning activities and achieved the aim of a lesson. In the testing results for students' recognition improving to earth systematic nature after the systems thinking education, about 24% students were showed the improving results of the recognition with earth systematic nature. Consequently, It is suggested that just as the achieving of the points of ESE in elementary school science education, the approaching method of the systems thinking education is worth attempting to applying of the ESE.

본 연구에서는 문헌 고찰을 기반으로 현상학적 접근 및 NOS-가족 유사성 접근을 적용하여 지구과학의 본성을 규명하는 방법을 제안하였다. 현상학적 접근은 지구과학에 고정된 본질이 있는 것이 아니라 시대와 상황의 요청에 따라 본성 자체가 유동적인 것임을 전제로 한다. 이는 직관적으로 드러난 감각적 현상들을 통해 지구과학의 다면적 특성을 편견 없이 모두 수집, 분석하고 종합하는 방법이다. 현상학적 접근은 학문적 세계의 토대를 이루는 생활세계를 직시하면서 지구과학의 본성을 탐구할 수 있는 통찰력을 제공한다. 이를 통해, 지구과학이 가지는 풍부함과 복잡성, 역동성을 드러낼 수 있다. 현상학적 관점에서 지구과학의 본성을 탐색하기 위한 방법으로, 과학의 본성(NOS)에 대한 가족유사성 접근을 제안하였다. NOS-가족유사성 접근을 통해, 조금씩 차이점을 가지는 다양한 과학의 영역들이 서로서로 공유하는 특성들을 조합함으로써 과학의 본성(NOS)을 포괄적으로 설명할 수 있다. 이를 지구과학의 본성에 적용하면 지구과학을 '가족'으로 만들어주는 일반적인(domain-general) 특성과 영역별로 특수한(domain-specific) 특성을 동시에 규명할 수 있다. 예컨대 지구과학을 구성하는 학문영역인 지질학, 대기 과학, 해양학, 천문학, 지구시스템 과학 등등이 서로 공유하는 특징들의 네트워킹을 통해 이들 학문영역을 지구과학이라는 가족으로 특징짓는 가족유사성을 추출할 수 있고, 이를 통해 지구과학의 본성을 총체적으로 드러낼 수 있을 것이다. 또한, 지구과학의 본성에 대한 가족유사성 접근을 통해 지구과학을 구성하는 하위 영역 학문의 특성이 달라짐에 따라 변화하는 지구과학의 본성을 파악할 수 있으며, 교과목으로서 지구과학의 위상과 발전체계를 정립하는 데에도 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구의 목적은 글로벌 과학적 소양 함양을 위한 수업이 학생들의 과학의 본성에 대한 관점에 어떤 영향을 주는지 살펴보는 것이다. 연구 참여자는 8학년 65명의 남학생이며, '지구와 별' 단원에 대하여 5주 동안 글로벌 과학적 소양 수업을 실시하였다. 수업 전과 후에 학생들의 과학의 본성에 대한 이해정도를 살펴보았다. 연구 결과 단기간의 글로벌 과학적 소양 함양을 위한 수업으로 학생들의 과학의 본성에 대한 관점을 변화시키는 것은 어려운 과제임을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 사회학적 측면에서, 학생들의 과학의 본성에 대한 이해가 철학적, 심리학적, 역사학적 관점에서 보다 상대적으로 향상된 것을 발견할 수 있었다.

We have studied 73 pre-service science teachers' conceptions about the nature of science (NOS) using 120 true-false test items based on AAAS Benchmarks statements. We have found that participants have inadequate understanding of the NOS, especially in understanding of five categories of conceptions; change and continuity in science, bias in scientific investigations, hypothesis in scientific investigations, things common in science, and science ethics. The result also indicates that there is a difference between primary pre-service teachers and secondary pre-service teachers. From the analysis of consistency, we also found that this inadequate understanding comes from confusion rather than misconception. All the results support that there is a need of intense pre-service teacher education concerning thenature of science.

The purpose of this study was to develop a new test instrument based on AAAS Benchmarks for Science Literacy, to assess k-12 students' progress in understanding nature of science (NOS). A total of 276 items were developed including 33 items for grade k-2, 36 items for grade 3-5, 78 items for grade 6-8 and 129 items for grade 9-12 and they were reviewed for validity and reliability. Key ideas that were the foundation of test items were extended, sophisticated and enriched according to the grade level. The general score of this test represents a student's cognitive state about an understanding of NOS. The result of this test can be expected to give some useful information for follow-up investigations, improving instructional design, and conducting further studies.

The purpose of this study is to assess gifted students' conceptions about nature of science (NOS). Scientifically gifted students who are expected to be professionals in the future should possess an adequate understanding of NOS that if firm foundation for scientific career. 47 volunteers from the 8th grade gifted science program in Seoul National University Gifted Education Center participated to answer questions inquiring NOS conceptions. Their answers were analyzed and compared to different groups such as non-gifted students and younger gifted students. As a result, gifted students' understanding of NOS appeared to surpass that of non-gifted students in many aspects and it seemed that gifted students formed their NOS view in early ages. The relative weakness in their NOS conceptions was found in understanding of scientific enterprise. Their strong misunderstanding about obstacles that minority people would face in scientific enterprise was noticed, too. They admitted that there has been discrimination in scientific enterprise, but they wrongly believed that outstanding scientists cannot be affected by it. Further studies will be required to probe more.

The purpose of this study was to develop a program based on the Earth system based program to help students achieve science literacy. This program was designed to be connected across grade levels, and contents of the program were constructed to have meaningful interdisciplinary context. All the activities in the program were inquiry-based, and understanding of the nature of science was considered essential throughout the program. In addition, appreciation and stewardship for the Earth system were systematically emphasized on any grade level. Design of the program applied U.S. National Science Education Standards for the quality of and conditions for school science programs.

The purpose of this study was to analysis the 6th students' conceptions of the nature phenomenon focused on the systematic characteristics. For this study, 12 students of the 6th grades participated in special class for testing their conceptions about the water cycle in the earth system. And we analyzed the outcomes of students' conceptions based on SBF conceptual representation. The results indicate that most of the subjects perceived that the water cycle in earth system wasn't complex system maintaining its existence and functions as a whole through the interaction of its parts but simple system maintaining some actions between atmosphere and hydrosphere, geosphere, biosphere(biological world). And they didn't perceive the characteristics of the water cycle whose all parts must be presented the change of volume between vapor and water, glacier proposing the total hydro-volume are established in the earth system. Based on the results, it was suggested that the main goals of the schools' science education should be to provide students who understand the water cycle system as attaching importance to form with the skills needed to coherent understanding of the essential qualities for the nature phenomenon system.

Global Science Literacy is proposed as an international curriculum standard for science literacy. It is based on the science curriculum construct of Earth Systems Education, which has come out of the earth science education community in the United States. The presentation will briefly describe the nature of ESE, and include, if sufficient time, an audience participation simulation of mass extinction.
