The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of writing science diary on science learning motivation, science academic achievement and ecological sensitivity of elementary students. Teaching unit was focused on 'The structure and function of plants' in 6th grade science text book. The subjects of study were 51 students of two classes. One class of 25 students, experimental group, wrote science diaries as homework. While the other class of 26 students, comparative group, performed homeworks with fill-in-the-blank worksheets. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: First, writing science diary had a meaningful effect on improvement of science learning motivation.

Students' emotional attitude not only affects their achievement in a meaningful way but also is an important educational goal in its own right. This research investigated how students' interest in science varies among elementary, middle and high-school students based on a survey and reviews of previous research results. We analyzed students learning attitude in terms of interest in and enjoyment of science, instrumental motivation in science, science learning anxiety, and self-concept in science. Major findings are students showed more negative attitudes in intrinsic motivation, instrumental motivation, value perception of science, and confidence in science as they move in to a higher school level. According to students' explanation, science classes got bored in a higher grade because of difficult contents, lack of experiments and activities, and teachers' monotonous explanations. Based on the results, recommendations on how to improve students' attitudes towards science are suggested. First of all we need to secure more science instructional hours in the school curriculum than the 7th national curriculum to implement improved science teaching and learning methods.

The purpose of this study is to develop instructional strategy which utilizes thinking maps focused on drawing as a measure to enhance science learning motivation, self-directed learning activity and science academic achievement of learners, and to examine the effects of its application. The target unit for this study is 'life cycle of plants' in the fourth grade of elementary school. Two classes of 4th grades of elementary school were selected and divided into two groups. The learners of experimental group have completed thinking map by drawing a picture to express the results to be observed and measured, and used it to arrange the learning contents. The result of this study is as follows. First, it is proven that using thinking maps focused on drawing actually helped improving the motivation of learners to study science. Second, it is proven that this strategy was effective to change their self-directed learning ability in positive ways. Third, it contributed to the improvement of learners' science academic achievement. We found out that the application of this strategy enabled them to enjoy the mapping using drawing, to be immersed in learning, to better recognize the scientific concepts and the structure of learning contents, and to have a positive awareness of the usefulness of thinking maps focused on drawing.

본 연구에서는 컴퓨터 프로그래밍 학습자들의 학습 성향을 조사하고 그들의 평소 학습 성향이 어떤 평가로 이어지는지에 대해 관찰한다. 또한 학습 성향과 이전 평가 결과가 다음 학기 프로그래밍 수업에 어느 정도 동기 부여가 되는지를 분석하여 학습자들의 성향과 능력에 맞는 방법으로 학습 동기를 부여할 수 있는 방법을 모색하고자 한다.

In this study, we investigated the effects of using concept mapping as an instructional tool on 4th graders' achievement, science learning motivation, and attitude toward science classes. Two classes (38 students) from an elementary school were respectively assigned to a control group and a treatment group. Students were taught about "expansion of matter by heat" and "heat transfer". These topics were chosen because they require students to understand more concepts as well as relationships among them. A science learning motivation test and an attitude toward science classes test were administered as pretests. A researcher-made achievement test, the science learning motivation test, and the attitude toward science classes test were administered as posttests. The results indicated that using concept mapping in 4th-grade science classes was not significantly effective in improving students' achievement though a statistically significant positive effect was found in the subcategory of knowledge. No statistically significant effect of using concept mapping was found in the scores of the science learning motivation test and the attitude toward science classes test. Educational implications are discussed.

본 연구는 수도권 대학부설 과학영재교육원에 재학중인 153명의 과학영재를 대상으로 과학문제발견력을 구성하는 학습자요인으로서 과학관련태도와 동기 및 자기조절적 학습전략 변인을 중심으로 가설적 구조모형을 상정하여 구조방정식모형분석을 통해 구조모형을 검증하여 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 변인들간의 상관분석 결과, 과학관련태도가 긍정적일수록 자아효능감이나 내재적 가치를 나타내는 동기가 유의미하게 높게 나타났으며, 인지전략의 사용이나 자기조절을 나타내는 자기조절적 학습전략이 높다는 것을 알 수 있었다 과학관련태도 중 과학적 태도가 긍정적일수록 과학문제발견력중 창의성관련 범주인 정교성이 높았다. 그러나, 과학관련태도의 다른 하위범주와 과학문제해결력의 다른 하위범주간에는 유의미한 상관을 보이지 않았다. 또한 자기조절적 학습전략은 자기조절적 학습전략이 높을수록 정교성이 높았으며 과학의 탐구동기와 탐구수준과도 정적 관계를 갖고 있음이 확인되었다. 둘째, 과학문제발전력의 구조모형을 검증한 결과, 과학탐구관련 과학문제발견력 구조모형 1과 창의성 관련 과학문제발견력 구조모형 2의 분석결과가 모두 학습자의 정의적 요인인 과학관련태도가 직접적으로 과학문제발견력에 영향을 미치는 것이 아니라 자아효능감과 학습에 대한 내재적 가치의 인식을 갖는 동기요인과 자기조절적 학습전략의 사용을 매개로 하여 과학문제발견력에 영향을 미친다는 것이 확인되었다.

Learning strategies are defined as behaviors and thoughts that a learner engages in during learning and that are intended to influence the learner's encoding process. Today, demands for teaching how to learn increase, because there is a lot of complex material which is delivered to students. But learning strategies shouldn't be identified as tricks of students for achieving high scores in exams. Cognitive researchers and theorists assume that learning strategies are related to two types of learning processing, which are described as 'surface learning' and 'deep learning'. In addition learning strategies are associated with learning motivation. Students with 'meaning orientation' who struggle for deep learning, are intrinsically motivated, whereas students with 'reproduction orientation' or 'achieving orientation' are extrinsically motivated. Therefore, to foster active learning and intrinsic motivation of students, it isn't enough to just teach how to learn. Changes of curriculum and assessment methods, that stimulate deep learning and curiosity of students are needed with educators and learners working cooperatively.

본 연구는 공학대학 학생들의 물리학에 대한 자발적인 학습이 이뤄지지 않는 이유를 탐색하기 위해 물리학습동기를 측정하였다. 본 연구에서는 Glynn 등이 개발한 Science Motivation Questionnaire II(SMQ II)을 물리학습 상황으로 수정한 Physics Motivation Questionnaire(PMQ)을 이용하여 서울에 위치하는 C대학의 공학계열 1학년 학생 374명을 대상으로 물리학습동기를 측정하였다. PMQ는 intrinsic motivation, career motivation, self-determination, self-efficacy, grade motivation의 5요인으로 구성되며 총 25개 리커트 척도문항의 검사도구이다. PMQ는 탐색적요인분석(EFA)를 통해 5가지 요인이 공학계열 대학생들의 물리학습동기를 측정하는데 있어 구조적으로 타당함을 확인하였다. 또한 라쉬(Rasch)모델 분석을 활용하여 문항적합도(MNSQ)를 확인하였다. 측정결과, 물리학습동기의 요인 중에서는 성적동기가 평균 4.18로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 그 다음으로 직업동기가 평균 3.75으로 높은 수준으로 나타났다. 그리고 내재동기는 평균 3.42, 자기효능감은 평균 3.38, 자기결정력는 평균 3.32로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구 결과를 통해 공학대학 학생들의 과학학습 동기는, 점수 및 직업과 관련된 외적 동기가 높게 나타나는 특성이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 공학계열 학생들 물리학습에 대한 숙달목표지향을 가지고 내적 동기를 높일 수 이도록 하는 교수-학습 전략의 개발에 노력해야 할 것이다.
