본 연구에서는 초등학교 과학 수업에 학생들의 스토리텔링을 적용해보고, 과학 학습 동기 및 과학 관련 태도에 미치는 영향을 조사해보았다. 연구 대상은 4학년 22명(남 10, 여 12)이었고, 주제는 열전달과 우리 생활 단원의 11차시 분량이었다. 연구결과 학생들은 학습한 과학 내용을 적용하여 이야기를 잘 완성하기도 하였으나, 이야기를 쓰거나 발표하는 과정에서 어려움을 느끼는 경우도 있었다. 대응 표본 t-검정 결과에서는 스토리텔링을 활용한 수업이 이전의 과학 수업에 비해 주의, 자신감, 만족감 등의 과학 학습 동기를 향상시키는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 학생들의 과학 교과에 대한 태도에서는 변화가 없었으나, 과학적 태도가 향상되었다. 후속 연구로는 다양한 이야기 자료나 스토리텔링 전략의 개발이 요구되고, 그 효과에 대한 연구도 다각도로 진행될 필요가 있다.

The latest researchs show that students have their own preconceptions about scientific phenomena or theory before they learn about it in school. The preconceptions exert a great influence on the teaching and learning science. The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of intelligence and attitude to science on elementary school students were sampled from 4th and 6th grade. Data were obtained by IQ test and the questionnaires on scientific conception and attitude toward science. The result was analyzed by t-test, Correlation and ANOVA in the statistical packages SPSS/PC+. The major findings of this study are as follows : 1. The mean score of scientific conception of elementary school students was 12.89. The mean score of attitude to science was 247.29. The mean score of intelligence was 109.93. 2. The correlation coefficient between scientific conception and intelligence (r=.5098)was relatively high(p<.001). The correlation coefficient between attitude to science and scientific conception(r=.2364) was low(p<.001). 3. Significant difference on science conception was found among grade levels(p<.001). Significant difference on science conception was not found between sex (p>.05). 4. The subjects were divided into 4 groups by intelligence and attitude toward science. These 4 groups show the significant difference (p<.01) in the scientific conception. The groups of high of high intelligence showed high scientific conception.

The purpose of this study was to identify STEAM education program fit for club activities in consideration of the present curriculum and investigate its effect on science club students' self-efficacy and attitude toward science by applying it to science club students. In consideration of such chapters as 'Solar System' and 'Exosphere and Space Development' in the 2009 Revised Curriculum, this study developed a STEAM education program related to the observation of the solar system and the measurement of a distance of the stars in consideration of the present curriculum. For this study we selected 14 science club students in H Middle School, located in G Province and applied a 7 weeks' program to them. To find out change in their self-efficacy and attitude toward science, this study conducted tests of self-efficacy and attitude toward science for a single group before and after introducing this program and analyzed the results. The results of this study could be summarized as below. Firstly, science club activities with this STEAM education program applied improved students' self-efficacy significantly. Secondly, there was a significant difference found in students' attitude toward science through science club activities with this STEAM education program applied as they showed higher scores in the attitude toward science in the posttest than the pretest. Lastly, despite a research limit that this science inquiry program was conducted for a short period of time, this program was found to have positive effect on the improvement of students' self-efficacy and attitude toward science.

이 연구의 목적은 고등학교 화학 I 교과에서 small-scale chemistry (SSC)를 활용한 실험수업이 고등학생들의 학업성취도와 과학적 태도 및 과학에 관련된 태도에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이다. 연구를 위하여 고등학교 2학년 2개 학급을 실험집단과 통제집단으로 나누어 실험집단에는 SSC를 활용한 실험수업을, 통제집단에는 교과서에 제시된 전통적인 실험수업을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, SSC를 활용한 실험수업은 전통적인 실험수업에 비해 학업성취도를 향상시키는 효과가 있었으며, 과학적 태도에서는 자진성과 끈기성 및 협동성을, 과학에 관련된 태도에서는 과학의 사회적 의미와 과학교과에 대한 태도 및 과학에 대한 태도를 향상시키는 효과가 있었다. 그러므로 교육 현장에서는 SSC를 활용한 실험수업을 고등학교 화학교과에 적극적으로 활용할 필요가 있다.

본 연구의 목적은 유아의 과학에 대한 태도가 어떠하며, 유아의 성과 교사의 학력, 경력, 과학적 소양에 따라 차이가 있는지를 알아보기 위한 것이었다. 유치원 교사 90명을 대상으로 기초 배경과 과학적 소양에 대한 질문지 조사를 실시하였고, 유아 180명에게는 "유아의 과학에 대한 태도"문항을 토대로 면접을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 유아의 과학에 대한 태도는 긍정적이었으며, 교사의 학력에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 유아의 과학에 대한 선호는 교사의 과학적 소양에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 유치원 교사들이 양성 교육과 현직 교육을 통해 지속적으로 과학적 소양을 함양하는 것이 중요하다는 것을 시사한다.

A creative science writing program was developed, and applied to 2nd grade elementary students. Two 2nd grade elementary school classes in Seoul district were selected for the current study. A Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design was applied. The experimental group adopted the creative science writing program and the control group maintained traditional lectures for 12 classes. TTCT(Torrance Test of Creative Thinking) figural test and a scientific attitude test were conducted on both groups. According to the analysis, TTCT score of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<.01). Among several subscales of TTCT, elaboration and resistance to premature closure was especially improved. Also, scientific attitude scale of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<.01). Among subscales of scientific attitude, the creative science writing program was effective on improving students' open-mindedness, critical mindedness, cooperation, voluntariness, and endurance. Gender was not a factor in the improvement of both students' creativity and scientific attitude.

The purpose of this research is to suggest the way to promote housewives' understanding of science and technology, based on the survey results of the attitude toward science and technology, the scientific attitude, and the interest in science and technology of housewives in Korea. The questionnaire was developed by researchers and administered to housewives who live in Seoul to get basic information. Housewives showed slightly positive attitudes toward science and technology, and similarly positive scientific attitudes. These scores were increased as monthly income and education level were raised. Housewives' interest of the science-technology related topics (foods, health, education, leisure, social issues, cooking, housing, everyday activity) was relatively high, and the interest of foods, health, education, and leisure was significantly correlated with the scores of housewives' attitude towards science and technology and their scientific attitudes. Housewives are shown to be curious to know these topics when they were asked by their children or do not know the terms appeared in media, or purchase home appliances and food. And they get the answers in a passive way by asking their family members or by watching TV or newspapers. They preferred TV program for enhancing their understanding of science. But such program could be proper to present science knowledge but not fulfill the role to promote scientific literacy. Specially designed programs through science centers or science museums would be suggested for their lifelong education.

In this study, we studied the effects of creative science activities of children from low-income family. Before and after the creative science activity programs, we investigated the children from low-income family on scientific attitude, self-esteem and self-efficacy. Also, after the creative science activity programs for low-income family children were interviewed and the results were analyzed. The result of this study was summarized as following. First, the creative science activities has a positive effect on scientific attitude of low-income family children. Through the creative science activities, the children from low-income familie's average of scientific attitude increased meaningfully. Second, the creative science activities has a positive effect on self-esteem and self-efficacy of low-income family children. Through the creative science activities, the children from low-income familie's average of self-esteem increased meaningfully. In the case of the self-efficacy's average points increased, but there was no statistically meaningful. Based on the results of this research, the children from low-income family were influenced positively by the creative science activities. Especially, the children from low-income families who have fewer chances of science experience than other general children were positively influenced in every aspect of this study.
