The present study examined the inquiry type, process, and context of activities presented in the matter field of the 7th grade science textbook based on the 7th curriculum. It was to investigate for educational suggestions in instruction and development of science textbook. Three units of ‘three states of matter', ‘motion of molecule', ‘the state change and energy' were analyzed. The result indicated that the types, processes and skills, and context of inquiry were not balanced, and learners should be educated with complementary inquiry activities. It is proposed that the inquiry activities presented in science textbooks be examined, and the framework to evaluate inquiry activities be reflected on the standard of science textbook authorization for development of the science textbook to accord with aims and objectives of curriculum.

The purpose of this study is to understand how the unit objectives and contents associated with environment are reflected on the 6 kinds of chemistry- I textbooks in the 7th curriculum and to present how to deal with the environmental education in chemistry- I. The results of this study are as follows. First, units associated with environment account for an average of 43.7% on chemistry- I in 7th curriculum. Second, contents of units related to environmental education on chemistry- I in 7th curriculum are environmental pollution(17.8%), environmental preservation and environmental pollution prevention(15.9%), environmental hygiene(12.2%), and any other things, Environmental pollution takes up a considerable part of environmental education. Third, the results for analyzing the objectives of chemistry- I in 7th curriculum show that Information Knowledge Awareness(34.0%) and Skill (29.9%) take up most parts. Fourth, Orientation (I) as analysis standard for objective of the units related to environmental education accounts for 10.2% of the total. It is clear that environmental education is carried out from STS point of view. In conclusion, environmental education in Chemistry- I focuses on fostering students' ability to apply the fundamental notion of chemistry to real life associated with environments. Therefore, it is necessary that environmental education in Chemistry- I should include value, attitude and participation and that improve students' ability to approach the environmental problem comprehensively.

The purpose of the study were to analyze of the curriculum and textbooks for technology & home economics in the 7th national curriculum, and to suggest the revision direction of them. This study was carried out through literature research of national curriculum and textbooks of Korea and Japan, respectively. The findings of the study were as follows: First, we have three textbooks which are technology & home economics 1, technology & home economics 2, technology & home economics 3 for each grade of middle school student, but one technology textbook and one home economics textbook may be better for middle school student to reduce the learning content following revised curriculum. Second, as an aspect of learning content between technology textbook and computer textbook, the computer and information volume is too much overlapped, which is also the same result at the survey research report of KICE. Therefore, the computer content of technology & home economics textbooks must be considered to reduce according to follow research.

This study is to compared with 7-ga mathematics textbooks of 13 types in the middle school by 7-th curriculum. A synopsis of the Analysis and comparison about the contents of these textbooks is as follows. -The order of contents almost is same about the title and contents in 13 types of textbooks. -It is very important that the definition of terminology should be simple and correct. I investigated the terminology in thirteen textbooks of material at 7-th curriculum. -Most of their textbooks present the motivation of learning mathematics with resource of life such as a story of mathematics and famous mathematicians. -The chapter about numbers and operations has the biggest volume of all. -The evaluation of lessons presents at the each end of chapters with many problems as levels.

This study looked into the procedures of and the status on the implementation of the new 7th national curriculum at the secondary school level. It examined the processes taken by the local boards of education in due course of facilitating the schools with the new curriculum implementation. More specifically the study examined, 1) the degree to which the particular innovation(i.e., student-centered, flexible and autonomous school-based curriculum, etc.) is being implemented as planned; and 2) how it is being implemented. It conducted a situation-oriented analysis in cooperation with three local boards of education. Classroom observations, teacher interviews, questionnaires for teachers and supervisors were utilized and the three major criteria of interpreting the result were the three core concepts of the 7th national curriculum, that is, the degree of '(1)reorganization, (2)student-centeredness and (3)diversification/ specialization' of the curriculum. Detailed documentation on the processes of the local bureaus of education and on the classroom practices are made in order to provide schools and policy makers with relevant and practical suggestions for further improvement of curriculum implementation. Ultimately, The greater the awareness of the intention of the new curriculum on the part of both the staff at the local school boards and teachers, the greater the degree of implementation. And the higher the quality of planning to meet problems, the greater the degree of implementation. Continuous efforts are needed to involve teachers in the process of curriculum implementation. The greater the active support of the teachers, the greater the degree of implementation.

The seventh curriculum put into operation gradually from first-year student in 2000 academic years of elementary school is subject to form and apply a step-wise level curriculum. Mathematics(correspond to junior high school course from 7th school year to 9th school year) should apply a step-wise level curriculum from 7th school year in 2001 academic years. Accordingly, mathematics teachers must diagnose actual conditions of educations, distribution tables of test results, step-wise teaching-studying programs etc. They also make proper plans suitable for actual situations of each school, prepare appropriate teaching materials and aids. I investigated preceding studies planned for preparation of putting into operation of a step-wise level curriculum. It showed that most of the studies were conducted at schools of medium or large scale and studies conducted at schools of small scale was rare. There were 113 small scale middle schools out of total 297 middle schools in Kyongsangbuk-do area in 2000. In this situation, I felt necessities of modeling of a step-wise level curriculum suitable for small scale schools. In this study, I modeled a step-wise level curriculum suitable for small scale middle schools, applied this model to 44 students in M middle school. I modeled two types of curriculum. One is a step-wise level curriculum that execute special supplementation process to students who do not complete 7-가 step successfully. The other is a step-wise level curriculum which is a regular model for a step-wise level of 7-나 step. I carried out an academic achievement test and intimacy test about mathematics before and after the application of the model. In this study, I found out that this model was very effective in academic achievement of students and helpful to declined students in scholarship. In the intimacy test, It was found out that most of the students gained confidence in mathematics, felt less anxiety, formed positive self consciousness. Therefore, I think that this model will be helpful to the application of the seventh step-wise level curriculum.
