This project was carried out under the assumption that applying a science history program to a teaching-learning process would lead to students' increased interest in science and increase the development of their scientific process skills. The project aimed at designing an effective science history program which would help to improve students' scientific process skills, to enhance their interest in learning science, and to maintain their inquiry learning abilities. The survey for the activity objectives was produced by the authors. The test items used for testing students' scientific attitude and scientific process skills were created by Korea National University of Education. The survey about scientific perception indicated that there was a meaningful difference of p=0.005 before and after implementing this program. The survey about scientific interest shows that students became interested in science, science-learning and science-related activities after participating in the science history program. Students' scientific process sills increased by 9% after the program was implemented in the subjects' classes. This indicates that the science history program was effective in improving students' science scientific process skills. Since this project, which targeted 8th grade science education activities, has proven to be effective, developing other programs suitable for younger and older students seems promising, too.

This study proposed task-based teaming strategies as a means of fulfilling the demands and goals of the 7th national science curriculum. Task-based learning is based on the use of a series of activities whereby a teacher presents students with tasks related to daily lift and the students solve the tasks by themselves using various methods and thought processes and then present and discuss their results with each other. The tasks are selected from the 6-grade science textbook, are reconstructed and are then given to the classes. The tasks include whole class activities as well as individual activities related to the interests, abilities, and concerns of the students. The purpose of this study was to verify the effects of task-based learning classes on the science process skills and the scientific attitudes of elementary school students, when applied to 6th grade students. For this, the task-based learning activities were applied to an experimental group and expository teaching was applied to the comparison group. Both groups were given a pre-post test on science process skills and scientific attitudes. The results indicate that task-based loaming is very effective in the development of science process skills and scientific attitudes.

This thesis aims to know about the effect science club activities have on the students' science-related attitude. The subjects are 551 high-school students who consists of the students who participate in science club activities and students who don't participate in science club activities. The questionnaires include the questions about cognition of science, interests toward science, and scientific attitudes which belong to the affective domain of Science. The answers are analyzed using by SPSS 11.5 program. This survey shows that whether or not students participate in science club activities affects the cognition of science, the interests toward science, and the scientific attitudes. In other words, science club activities affirmatively enhance the cognition of science, cultivate the thinking power about science, enlarge problem-solving ability by knowing how to survey natural phenomenon, increase the insight into science and help to cope with technological changes. Therefore, since science club activities affect the cognition of science, the interest toward science, and the scientific attitudes in the affective domain of Science, much consideration and concern should be given to science club activities so that students can cherish science club activities and deal with club activities with more attention.

본 연구에서는 2009 개정 과학 교육과정에 따른 고등학교 물리 교과서에 제시된 탐구활동을 과학적 실천 개념을 이용하여 분석하고, 교과서를 통해 학생들에게 제공되는 가능한 탐구 학습의 경험을 알아보았다. 분석 결과 '자료를 분석하고 해석하기'와 '설명 구성하고 문제해결 고안하기'가 다른 과학적 실천에 비해 강조되는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 '질문하고 문제 규정하기'는 물리 교과서 4권을 통틀어 단 1건이 있었다. 단원별로 강조되는 과학적 실천의 차이가 거의 없어 특정 과학적 실천의 강조가 교과 내용과는 무관한 것으로 드러났다. 또한 탐구활동에서 수행한 과학적 실천이 교과서 내용 전개상의 탐구활동의 목적과는 무관하게 사용되고 있음이 드러났다. 교육과정과 교과서 그리고 교사 교육에 대한 시사점과 후속 연구 과제를 제시하였다.

본 연구는 한국과 싱가포르의 중학교 과학 교과서에 실린 물리 영역의 탐구 활동을 비교 분석함으로써 차기 과학과 교과서 탐구 활동 구성에 대한 시사점을 얻기 위한 목적을 지닌다. 두 나라의 교과서 탐구 활동을 탐구 활동의 일반적인 특징과 참 과학 탐구(authentic scientific inquiry)의 반영 정도라는 두 가지 측면에서 분석하였는데, 이를 위해 각각 Millar et al.(1998)의 탐구 활동 분석틀과 Chinn & Malhotra(2002)의 분석틀을 수정 보완하여 이용하였다. 연구 결과, 두 나라 탐구 활동의 목적, 학생의 사고 관련 활동, 과제의 개방성 정도에서 차이가 발견되었다. 탐구 활동의 목적 영역에서 한국은 내용 중심적인 활동이 많았고, 싱가포르는 과정 중심적인 활동이 많았다. 학생의 사고 관련 활동 영역에서 싱가포르에는 한국에는 드문 '예상한 것 검증하기' 등의 사고 관련 활동이 있었으며, 탐구의 개방성 정도도 싱가포르가 한국보다 높았다. 두 나라의 탐구 활동에서 참 과학 탐구를 반영하고 있는 정도에도 차이가 발견되었다. 한국에는 학생들이 스스로 연구 문제를 착안하는 활동이 전혀 없었으나 싱가포르에는 이러한 활동이 있었으며, 연구 설계 항목에서 한국의 탐구 활동에는 없는 변인 설정, 변인 통제 활동이 싱가포르에는 발견되었다. 연구 결과는 교과서 탐구 활동을 구성할 때 탐구 활동의 목적, 학생의 사고 관련 활동, 과제의 개방성 정도 등의 요소가 고르게 포함되도록 할 필요가 있으며, 참 과학 탐구 요소를 적절히 반영할 필요가 았다는 것을 시사한다.

The 1982 UNCLOS provided very detailed provisions on marine scientific research and gave coastal stale jurisdiction to regulate marine scientific research in its EEZ. However, due to lack of definition and criteria of MSR, there are some different views, even conflicts, regarding legal Pounds for governing hydrographic surveys and oceanographic data collection by one state in the EEZs of other states. Some coastal states argue that those activities should only be conducted in the EEZ of other states with the consent of the coastal state while it is the opinion of other states, including the U.S.A., that those activities can be conducted freely in the EEZ. This paper reviews different views and recent developments on the issue and suggests some recommendations for future work of the Korean government related to the activities.

본 연구에서는 2009개정 교육과정의 중학교 과학교과서에 포함된 탐구 활동이 기존 과학교육에서 강조되어왔던 탐구 기능과 구체적 학생 활동이 강조되는 NGSS의 8가지 과학 실천 측면에서 상호 분석되었을 때 어떤 특성을 나타내는지 생명과학 단원을 중심으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과 학년 구분 없이 탐구 기능에서는 '추리', 관찰', '분류' 순으로 많이 치중되었고, 과학 실천에서는 '자료 분석하고 해석하기'와 '설명구성하고 문제해결 고안하기'에 치우쳐 있었다. 이를 통해 중학교 교과서 내 생명과학 탐구 활동이 탐구 기능뿐만 아니라 과학 실천 요소에서도 다양성이 부족하며 제시하는 활동의 목표가 한정적이라는 것을 보여주었다. 또한 과학탐구 기능과 과학 실천 요소 각 상호 매칭작업을 통해 탐구 기능 중심에서 과학 실천으로의 이행 시 내용 관련성을 검토하고 교과서의 탐구 활동에서 보이는 결과와 비교 분석한 결과 사전 매칭분석에 비해 교과서 내 탐구 활동의 결과가 대체적으로 기초탐구-자료해석/기초탐구-설명고안에 치우쳐 있어서 단조롭게 매칭 되었다. 이는 교과서에 제시된 활동내용의 다양성이 부족함을 보여주는 결과라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 2009개정 교육과정의 교과서 분석을 통해 단순하고 다양성이 부족한 탐구 활동에서 벗어나 2015개정 교육과정을 구현해나가는 과정에 다양한 과학 실천 요소를 포함시키도록 하는 노력이 절실하게 요구됨을 제언한다.

This study investigated the effectiveness of teachers inquiry-discovery verbal interaction which was compared with expository-directive verbal interaction. Two teachers from two different kindergarten groups were trained and observed during conversation and science corner activities. Sixty children were observed during science corner activities and tested with a scientific achievement instrument. Teacher's inquiry-discovery verbal interaction had a more positive effect on children's scientific attitudes than teacher's expository-directive verbal interaction. Teacher's inquiry-discovery verbal interaction had a more positive effect on children's scientific achievement than teacher's expository-directive verbal interaction. Children's scientific attitudes and children's scientific achievement had a positive correlation.

This study aims to explore how teachers construct scientific explanation during instructional practices to help students' scientific inquiry. Before investigating teachers' classroom practices, elementary school science curriculum was examined to identify scientific concepts, particularly in earth science. Then, a total of six teachers' scientific explanation in actual teaching practices was analysed focusing on a) explanation of scientific concepts; b) rationale for scientific explanation; c) connection between scientific explanation and everyday explanation. The findings are as follows. First, the science curriculum provides $1{\sim}2$ main scientific concepts per unit, which are mostly appeared in the unit title. Those concepts and sub-concepts are not explicitly described but embedded in students' inquiry activities. Second, the teachers explain scientific concepts and discuss the rationale behind the scientific explanation, but rarely connect scientific explanation to everyday explanation. Also, the level of scientific explanations is low remaining level 1 or 2, not reaching 3, the highest level. Based on the results, the study suggests a) teachers need to provide explicit and clear explanations about scientific concepts; b) teachers are required to connect scientific explanation and everyday explanation; c) the level of teachers scientific explanation should be elevated by using an evidence, reasoning and claim, the components of scientific explanation as well as introducing new scientific concepts and inquiry activities.

In this study of the relative effectiveness of constructivist and non-constructivist approaches to shadow activity for young children, 59 children in two kindergarten classes were assigned to constructivist or non constructivist conditions. Each group participated in 12 units covering shadow search, shadow making, changing shadow size, changing shadow position, and shadow disappearance. Analysis of covariance of differences between the mean scores of the two groups on the posttests of shadow concepts and scientific attitudes revealed that the children in the constructivist group performed better than the children in the non-constructivist group. This confirms the constructivist approach to shadow activities as good science activities for young children by promoting their active experimentation using reasoning about light to foster spatio-causal relations construction.
