The aims of this study are to investigate how Kepler found a scientific problem for the retinal image theory and to investigate how Korean middle-school students respond when the same situation is applied to them. Kepler found the scientific problem in the eye vision through the critical analysis of contemporary theories of vision, based on his relevant knowledge of optics. When the same situation was applied to the Korean middle-school students, only a few students found the same scientific problem as Kepler. From the results, it is suggested that in developing creativity teaching materials, situations like Kepler's problem finding need to be included in programs.

Promoting students' mathematics understanding is an important research theme in mathematics education. According to general theories of learning, mathematics understanding is close to active learning or significant learning. Thus, if a teacher wants to promote his/her students' mathematics understanding, he/she should pay attention to the students so that the students' thinking is in active situation. In the first part of this paper, some mathematics teachers' ideas about paying attention to their students in Chinese high school are given by questionnaire and interview. In the second part of this paper, we give some teaching episodes about how experienced mathematics teachers promote their students' mathematics understanding based on paying attention on them.

타당하고 효과적인 과학교육의 계획과 실천을 위해서는 축적된 연구 결과에 근거한 과학교육 정책의 결정이나 교육과정 개발, 교수학습 방법 및 적절한 학습 자료 개발 등이 이뤄져야 할 것이다. 그러나 실제로는 그러하지 못한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 2000년부터 2013년까지 국내 주요 과학교육 관련 학회지에 게재된 논문들을 대상으로, 근래 학생의 과학 학습과 관련된 국내 과학교육 관련 연구의 전반적인 동향을 분석함으로써, 추후 과학 교육과정 개발이나 정책 개발, 교수학습자료 개발 등에 기초자료와 시사점을 제공하고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 국내 6개 주요 과학교육 관련 학회지에 2000년도부터 2013년도까지 게재된 과학 학습 관련 논문을 분석하였다. 분석은 총 8개의 과학 학습영역('학생의 개념', '학생의 사고', '탐구', '정의적 영역', '학생의 과학에 대한 생각', '교육과정', '학생의 학습/수업활동', '비형식 교육에서 학생의 학습')과 각 영역의 세부 범주에 의거하여 수행되었다. 분석결과, 기존의 연구들은 다소 특정 분야와 특정 대상에 편중되어 있었다. 또, 발달 과정보다는 현재 실태를 진단하는 연구들이 많았다. 새로운 이론이나 도구를 개발하는 연구들이 상대적으로 적었고, 다소 직접적이진 않지만 학생의 미래에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 과학의 본성에 대한 인식이나 비형식 학습에 대한 연구 역시 상대적으로 적었다. 이러한 연구 결과들을 바탕으로 교육과정 개발이나 정책 개발, 교수학습자료 개발 등과 관련된 몇 가지 시사점에 대해 논의 하였다.

The object of this study is to investigate the views of scientifically gifted children about the purpose of scientists' experiments and school science experiments. The children's views were examined using a open-ended questionnaire survey. And then the responses from the children were analyzed with categorization. The results from the study are as follows: First, the children's views about the purpose of scientists' experiments and school science experiments were classified to 2 top-level, 5 mid-level and 21 sub-level categories. Second, it was found that the children considered internal values of doing experiments are more worthy than the social and personal usefulness of the experiments. Third, the gifted children mentioned most frequently that the purposes of the scientist experiment is 'to get the evidences for their theory and argument which is unusual in the regular children's views. Also the discovery of new phenomena and materials, and the generation of new theories and ideas were mentioned as purposes of the scientist experiments. Fourth, the students frequently stated that school science experiments support effective learning of science subject enhancing subject interests and better explanation/understanding. Fifth, relatively many students thought that the purposes of school science experiments are different with those of scientist experiments. Based on the results from the study, some educational suggestions are discussed.

This is a comparative study on environmental education curricula in the forest sciences of korean and german universities. The purpose of this study is to identify the developmental process, structure and content of environmental education(EE) explained by the forest sciences curricula from the two countries and to offer a simultaneous comparison, focusing on the four social variables and seven criteria of comparability in environmental education curricula. For the purpose of this study, the cross-disciplinary approach of George Z. F Bereday was employed. Environmental education curricula of two countries was analysed in the social context through the four phases of comparative procedure; the description, interpretation, juxtaposition and comparison. EE has been taught in the forest sciences of Korea and Germany since the middle 1990s. In forest sciences of two countries, EE was developed in relation to social needs and considered as a form of forest policy. Both korean and german forest sciences curricula include EE for the students to understand the theories and practices of EE as the application of the forest science. In process of EE, the students of two countries develop EE programs. German curricula have more seminars and practices than korean curricula. And various experts participate in education programs. The forest sciences of Korea focus on Environmental Interpretation which raises the quality of visitors' experiences in forest recreation. Contacting with nature(lived experiences) is a important factor in Korean EE. On the other hand, the forest sciences of Germany focus on forest education as a form of public relations and also as a form of EE. In Germany, there are various approaches to forest education; philosophy, ethics, psychology, natural science, forest policy, forest history, education and so on. Forest education includes the multiple levels.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of science lessons using mind mapping on creativity and academic achievement in science. The subjects of this study were fifth-grade students selected from four classes of an elementary school located in Busan. For ten weeks, the experimental group of 40 students were taught using the mind mapping technique. The comparative group, also of 40 students, was taught in normal classes which used a standard text-book. Children were given a test on science processing skills and academic achievement in science to measure the effects of mind mapping. The Likert scales were used to gather student's feedback on creativity and academic achievement in science. Through these procedures, the following results were obtained: First, mind mapping had a greater effect on science processing skills than the normal classes, where a text-book was used. Second, mind mapping was effective in improving the student's academic achievements in science at a greater level than the normal classes where a text-book was used. Third, after viewing results of the Student Recognition Investigation, we found that the students showed a higher level of interest in science lessons that used mind mapping, and were better able to understand the scientific theories. As a result, the elementary science class with mind mapping developed greater science processing skills and saw higher academic achievement in science. We conclude that science classes that use mind mapping have the potential to develop better science processing skills and improve academic achievement in science.
