Although the reward based on group accomplishment in cooperative learning has a merit to emphasize interdependency, it may have some undesirable side effects such as free rider effect and sucker effect. For the purpose of reducing these side effects, this study examined how the adjustment of the reward structure affected the scholastic achievement, the perception of learning environments, and the attitude toward science class by adding individual reward to group reward. We selected 2 classes of sixth grade in an elementary school, and taught on oxygen and carbon dioxide for 13 class hours in cooperative learning strategies. Group reward was applied to one class, and both group and individual rewards were applied to the other class. Analysis of the results indicated that the achievement scores of the students under the group and individual rewards were significantly higher than those under the group reward. In addition, they had more difficulty in science class and felt less satisfied. The upper level students under the group and individual rewards were also found to exhibit more competition. Educational implications were discussed.

eLearning can be defined as an approach to teaching and teaming that utilises Internet technologies to communicate and collaborate in an educational context. This includes technology that supplements traditional classroom training with web-based components and learning environments where the educational process is experienced online. The use of hypertext as an educational tool has a very rich history. The advent of the internet and one of its major application, the world wide web (WWW), has given a tremendous boost to the theory and practice of hypermedia systems for educational purposes. However, the web suffers from an inability to satisfy the heterogeneous needs of a large number of users. For example, web-based courses present the same static teaming material to students with widely differing knowledge of the subject. Adaptive hypermedia techniques can be used to improve the adaptability of eLearning. In this paper we report an approach to the design a unified implementation framework suitable for web-based eLearning that accommodates the three main dimensions of hypermedia adaptation: content, navigation, and presentation. The framework externalises the adaptation strategies using XML notation. The separation of the adaptation strategies from the source code of the eLearning software enables a system using the framework to quickly implement a variety of adaptation strategies. This work is a part of our more general ongoing work on the design of a framework for adaptive content delivery. parts of the framework discussed in this paper have been imulemented in a commercial eLearning engine.

The purpose of this study was to be a help with designing science curriculum and developing science programs for the science gifted students by comparing their preferences about science class forms and class environments between science gifted students and normal students. For this study, 2 classes of science gifted students and 5 classes of normal students in 4th, 5th grade joined in this survey and their preferences about science class forms and class environments were checked using questionnaire. As a result, the following findings were obtained. First, in the area of class form, from comparing their preferences about teaching content domain, science gifted students showed meaningful higher preferences in all factors such as clarification, structuralization, thinking of high level and diversification. In comparing their preferences about teaching process domain, science gifted students also showed meaningful higher preferences in all factors such as diversification and self directed learning. Second, in the area of class environment, from comparing their preferences about classroom domain, science gifted students showed meaningful higher preferences in all factors such as teacher's support and rule and organization. In comparing their preferences about mentality domain, science gifted students also showed meaningful higher preferences in all factors such as influence of friends and parents. Third, in science gifted students, from comparing their preferences by gender about science class forms and class environments, female students showed meaningful higher preferences in factors of clarification. And in other factors females showed similar preference tendency with male students. In normal students' comparing, female students showed meaningful higher preferences in factors of teacher's support. And male students showed meaningful higher preferences in factors of high level thinking and influence of friend and influence of parents.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the way applying a school garden for the creative experience activity on the school learning program. For this study, the 27s elementary students who were the 5th and 6th grades participated in this program. And the 10units lessons programs what were consisted with the inquiry, debating, and cooperating activities were developed, and applying to classroom and school garden. The key concepts of developing program were 'rocks which were in the school garden'. he results are follows, for the creative experience activity on the school teaching/learning program, the school garden has useful value as teaching/learning field. The teaching/learning activity applying the school garden makes an offer the awareness to students that the knowledges learned in school were actually relative with their life. Also, the students are affirmatively participate to learning, debate, and cooperate activities because the school garden is very familiar environment to them. Lastly, the students are interesting in learning classes because they think that the school garden environments will reform actually to new shape of their ideas. After this learning were finishing, most of students indicated their intention with satisfaction. Some of them suggested applying the additional program using the school garden. Consequently, the school garden has the very useful value for applying program of the teaching/learning in elementary school education.

This study aims to analyze difficulties that pre-service elementary teachers experience in investigating the life cycle of a common cabbage butterfly in person. As difficulties they face during the process of this research, they pointed out collecting eggs, observing molting, creating environments for a breeding cage, feeding, building a breeding cage, and making butterfly specimens. Out of all the environmental difficulties related to their school fields, they pointed out a difficulty of time management most of all, followed by placing a breeding cage in the classroom and the lack of microscopes for observation. In regard to difficulties related to their evaluations on students' activities, they found it difficult to evaluate students' activity with the life cycle of an insect in the aspect of knowledge and even to set evaluation criteria. Besides, many of them responded that it would be appropriate to evaluate a research on the life cycle of an insect through a portfolio or an observation journal. In regard to difficulties in terms of teachers' knowledge, they found it difficult to understand insect molting, metamorphoses, complete metamorphoses, incomplete metamorphoses, the structure of an insect body, and how to distinguish a female insect from a male one. In regard to the application of class models, they knew it is important for students to have various experiences through direct observation, so the experience-based learning model was proper for the process of observing the life cycle of a common cabbage butterfly. However, they found it difficult for students to observe each stage of the life cycle in person.

본 연구에서는 과학적 모형 구성 과정에서 사고 질문에 의한 개념적 자원의 활성화가 학생들의 인식론적 프레이밍과 위치 짓기 프레이밍에 따라 어떻게 달라지는지, 어떠한 맥락들이 학생들의 프레이밍에 영향을 미치는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 중학교 2학년 학생들이 네 명씩 한 소집단을 이루어 배설 기작에 대한 소집단의 설명 모형을 협력적으로 구성하였다. 모형 구성 과정에서 다양한 사고 질문이 나타나며, 맥락에 따라 프레이밍이 변한 1개의 소집단을 초점집단으로 선정하였다. 담화 분석을 통해 모형 구성 과정에서 나타나는 학생들의 사고 질문과 개념적 자원의 활성화를 확인하였고, 그들의 인식론적 프레이밍과 위치 짓기 프레이밍을 추론하여 이에 영향을 미친 맥락들을 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 소집단 내에서 모형 구성 활동을 '현상 이해'로, 자신의 위치를 '촉진자'로 프레이밍 한 학생이 사고 질문으로 개념적 자원의 활성화를 촉진했지만, '교실 게임'과 '비응답자'로 프레이밍 한 다른 학생들에 의해 상호 작용이 단절되어 개념적 자원이 활성화되지 못하였다. 또한 학생들이 모두 '현상 이해', '촉진자'와 '응답자'로 프레이밍 한 경우 사고 질문을 통해 개념적 자원을 활성화 시킬 수 있었지만, 학생들의 프레이밍이 '교실 게임'과 '수용자'로 전환되었을 때 활성화된 개념적 자원이 소집단의 모형 구성에 기여하지 못하였다. 그러나 '현상 이해'의 인식론적 프레이밍을 지속적으로 공유하고, '촉진자'와 '응답자'로 위치 짓기 프레이밍을 서로 역동적으로 전환시킨 경우 학생들은 모두 동등한 인식적 권위를 갖고, 사고 질문을 통해 다양한 개념적 자원을 활성화시키며 소집단의 모형을 정교하게 발달시켰다. 이와 같은 모형 구성 과정에서 학생들의 프레이밍은 인지적 어려움의 지속과 정답 제공자 또는 사고 촉진자로서 교사의 역할 등에 영향을 받았다. 본 연구는 과학 수업에서 생산적인 모형 구성 활동을 지원하는 인식론적 프레이밍과 위치 짓기 프레이밍의 기초 정보를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.
