  • 본 논문은 정성적인 연구방법의 하나인 문헌분석법에 의하여 이루어졌다. 문헌 분석의 방법은 본 논문의 목적에 비추어 교육철학, 교육이론, 과학철학, 교육심리학, 통합교육과정과 관련된 국내 외의 주요 단행본, 연구보고서 및 논문, 전문지에 수록된 자료를 수집하고, 이를 연구내용에서 제시한 관점에 따라 분류 분석 추출 정립하였다. 이를 바탕으로 통합과학교육의 방향을 설정하였다. 즉, 먼저 과학의 본성을 과학지식으로 보는 관점, 사회적 합의과정으로 보는 관점, 개인 삶의 창조로 보는 관점의 3가지, 그리고 교육의 본성을 지식의 형식으로 보는 관점, 경험의 확대로 보는 관점, 자아실현으로 보는 관점의 3가지로 분류하고, 이를 근거로 하여 통합과학교육의 방향을 지식내용중심, 사회문제 중심, 개인흥미중심의 3가지로 모색하였다. 다음으로, 이상에서 모색된 지식내용중심, 사회문제중심, 개인흥미중심의 3가지 통합과학교육의 방향이 교육철학적, 과학철학적, 교육심리학적 측면에서 정당화되는 근거를 밝혔다. 마지막으로 이상에서 정당화된 이론적 근거를 바탕으로 하여, 통합과학교육의 방향을 지식내용중심, 사회문제중심, 개인흥미중심의 방향의 3가지로 설정하였다. 여기서 설정된 3가지 통합과학교육의 방향은 앞으로 후속 논문의 논지를 이끄는 데 기본적인 준거가 될 것이다. 이러한 연구 단계에 따라 분석된 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다 첫째, 과학의 본성을 '과학지식' 으로, 교육의 핵심을 '지식의 형식' 으로 보는 관점을 이론적 근거로 하여 지식내용중심의 통합과학교육이 설정된다. 따라서 이는 'Hirst의 통합논리' 가 바탕이 된다고 할 수 있으며, 통합화의 초점은 지식의 의미와 그들간의 논리적 관련성을 탐구양식에 따라 보다 분명히 밝히려는데 있다. 둘째, 과학의 본성을 '사회적 합의과정'으로 교육의 핵심을 '경험의 확대'로 보는 관점을 이론적 근거로 하여 사회문제중심의 통합과학교육이 설정된다. 따라서 이는 'Dewey의 통합논리'가 바탕이 된다고 할 수 있으며, 통합화의 초점은 사회적 경험의 과정을 용이하게 해 주는 방법적 측면에 있다. 셋째, 과학의 본성을 '개인 삶의 창조'로 교육의 핵심을 '자아실현'으로 보는 관점을 이론적 근거로 하여 개인흥미중심의 통합과학교육이 정당화될 수 있다. 따라서 이는 'Patterson 의 통합논리'가 바탕이 된다고 할 수 있으며, 통합화의 초점은 개인의 자아실현을 위한 심리적 측면에 있다. 앞으로 학교현장에서 "효과적인" 통합과학교육이 이루어지기 위하여는 본 연구에서 논의된 통합과학교육의 방향을 이론적 준거로 하여, 교사 교재 학생의 역동적인 관계성을 고려한, 체계적이고 종합적인 통합과학교육과정이 개발되어야 한다. 그리고 개발된 통합과학교육과정을 교사가 실제로 학교수업에 충분히 활용할 수 있도록 하는 노력을 기울여야만 한다.

  • 본 연구에서는 과학의 본성을 진술하는 총 42개의 진술문 각각에 대해서 1년간에 걸쳐 과학의 본성 지도자료 46개를 개발하였다. 개발한 자료는 구체적인 과학적 상황에서 과학의 본성을 이해할 수 있도록 과학개념과 탐구기능이 포함되도록 하였다. 각 자료는 학생용 활동지와 교사용 안내서로 개발되어 현장에 직접 적용할 수 있는 형태로 개발되었다. 개발된 자료 중, 과학적 사고의 본성에 대한 11개 자료를 과학 영재 3명을 대상으로 시험 적용하였다. 시험 적용 결과, 난이도는 적절했으며, 학생들은 과학개념이나 탐구활동 경험보다는 과학적 사고 자체에 대해 배웠다고 반응하였고, 마찬가지로 과학적 사고 자체가 흥미로운 내용이었다고 보고하였다. 그리고 학생의 반응과 교사의 관찰로부터 과학적 사고의 본성 이해가 과학적 탐구활동을 보다 참답게(authentic) 수행하는데 도움을 줄 수 있다고 판단되었다. 또한 학생들은 과학적 사고의 본성 이해가 과학적 창의성 개발에도 도움을 준다고 하였으며, 그러한 반응이 이전의 이론적인 논의(박종원, 2007a)와도 일치하여 과학적 사고의 본성 이해가 창의력 개발 프로그램으로 활용할 수 있다는 시사점을 얻을 수 있었다.

  • Knowledge plays a more important role in promoting entrepreneurship in the current information-led society than it did during the age of industrialization. Many recent studies found that entrepreneurship stimulates and generates innovation and economic growth. In response to the issues of long-term low growth, the Japanese government implemented several policies to encourage universities initiate entrepreneurial activities. This paper examines Japanese policies since 2014 that support universities in providing various programs for developing global entrepreneurs. Thirteen academic institutes were beneficiaries of three-year funding since the fiscal year of 2014. Each university designed its own educational programs according to their own contexts, built various forms of innovation ecosystems with domestic as well as international partner organizations, and offered entrepreneurship training courses or innovation workshops for companies to sustain its programs through broadening their funding bases. Due to the interdisciplinary nature and short history in operating the programs so far, it is difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of the programs. However, each participating university accumulated knowledge and experience while carrying out their various programs, suggesting important new directions for policymakers and education program designers in facilitating entrepreneurship and innovation.

  • Recently, because of the danger and damages that following the steady development of scientific technologies, natural science is faced with many humane and ethical problems. So it is asserted the interdisciplinary with social and human science. However, it comes commonly that the ethical issues such as world view and one's view of life caused the development of sociology, especially development of the market economy. But in many cases, the interdisciplinary can be useful for widen the view of scholars. The interdisciplinary is actually connected with the problems of philosophy, and located in that domain. In this case, this is noticed as a model to the philosophers in 18th century, especially Denis Diderot. Diderot published De $l^{\prime}interpr{\acute{e}}tation$ de la nature during editing the Encyclopedia, from there he picked out the contents from piles of documents of Encyclopedia. Even though the contents or opinions of De $l^{\prime}interpr{\acute{e}}tation$ de la nature are inaccuracy or erroneous, it shows that how human-social science and natural science encountered. Diderot studied mathematics and then Diderot accepted to the natural science proposal, he approaches philosophy with translate English books to the French. Next he understood natural science by reading Buffon and Maupertuis, and during working for Encyclopedia, he possessed his knowledge that he can claim his opinion to other scholars. However in this De $l^{\prime}interpr{\acute{e}}tation$ de la nature, Diderot who sometimes rebutted other scholars' theory and demonstration, tried to build a philosophy on metaphysics in order to it was important for himself that he imposed the methods of science and importance of experience. Anyhow, this De $l^{\prime}interpr{\acute{e}}tation$ de la nature cause consider the recognition of Diderot in the field of natural science, and is suggested as a model about his Nature. This mean that it is an expression of his philosophy, and the content is found from natural philosophy and empirical philosophy. Like giving these attache the importance of method study for science and technique, these are targeted the promotion of popularization of natural-science and scientific-technology. Also it advocates fulfilling from reasonable philosophy to empirical philosophy. Therefore, the philosophy which was speculative and abstracted became his philosophy which was writing the meaning, as waiting the discovery of science. And at that time, the humanities made interdisciplinary with natural science.

  • This study has been performed in order to achieve three objectives. They are as follows: To analyze, based on the research literatures, the nature of scientific inquiry ability and the characteristics of its constitutive elements. To identify inquiry skills and techniques essential to such areas as physics, chemistry, biology. and earth science. To develop instructional models and materials for enhancing inquiry ability on the part of high school students. It was found in the study that the scientific inquiry was interpreted in terms of different meanings according to the viewpoint of the person who are interested in the nature of science. The scientific inquiry has been viewed as the process of knowledge formation, scientific method, inquiry process or process skills depending on the epistemological, methodological, educational perspectives, respectively. It was also identified that certain kind of skills or techniques would be used for inquiry in only one specific area of the science. This study drew a conclusion based on the findings that the skills and techniques will effectively be learned when those are taught with specific knowledge in each area of the science. Reported in this paper are the materials developed, for fostering scienctific inquiry skills on the part of the high school students. The materials were developed, using two themes of a theoretical-abstract chemistry topic and a conceptual-concrete biology topic. Those materals were designed for an experiment and an observation, respectively.

  • Statistics is the science of data. As the foundation of scientific knowledge, data refers to evidentiary facts from the nature of reality by human action, observation, or experiment. Clinicians should be aware of the conditions of good data to support the validity of clinical modalities in reading scientific articles, one of the resources to revise or update their clinical knowledge and skills. The cause-effect link between clinical modality and outcome is ascertained as pattern statistic. The uniformity of nature guarantees the recurrence of data as the basic scientific evidence. Variation statistics are examined for patterns of recurrence. This provides information on the probability of recurrence of the cause-effect phenomenon. Multiple causal factors of natural phenomenon need a counterproof of absence in terms of the control group. A pattern of relation between a causal factor and an effect becomes recognizable, and thus, should be estimated as relation statistic. The type and meaning of each relation statistic should be well-understood. A study regarding a sample from the population of wide variations require clinicians to be aware of error statistics due to random chance. Incomplete human sense, coarse measurement instrument, and preconceived idea as a hypothesis that tends to bias the research, which gives rise to the necessity of keen critical independent mind with regard to the reported data.

  • 20 preservice teachers at college level participated in this study and interacted with students at elementary and middle school levels during science camp offered by science center in Taiwan. Preservice teachers displayed moderate (above the average, 4 point out of 5) understandings about scientific literacy and scientific views in all aspects of the nature of science before the camp. Then, the researchers designed science camp programs which were expected to promote students' scientific literacy; scientific knowledge, inquiry skills for experimentation as well as for argumentation, affective domain such as the attitude toward science and the understandings about nature of science and the relationship among STS (Science-Technology-Society), all of which were embedded in the programs. Preservice teachers seemed to perceive scientific literacy pretty well (over 4 point) before the camp, however, preservice teachers' understandings about scientific literacy were not much scored (around 3 point, but still moderate scores of average) as expected after concrete inquiry activities. The reasons why this happened could be that preservice teachers were not trained to employ theory into the context to be more practical or the researchers did not develop camp program which included the aspect of scientific literacy successfully. The discussion and implication were made in teacher education in that preservice teachers must be prepared how to bridge theory into practice, and informal science education in that educators at science centers must be trained to be experts in providing the envisioned educational programs to meet the goal of science education, scientific literacy.

  • 일반인들의 자연에 대한 감상과 생명과학의 이해는 오늘날 과학의 대중화에서 큰 역할을 차지하고 있다. 특히 일반인의 관심이 높은 전시와 같은 비형식 과학교육은 생태학, 동물행동학, 환경학 등 거시생물학적 분야의 내용이 주를 이루고 있다. 그렇지만 전문가의 참여 부재, 자연 현상의 피상적인 기술 등의 이유로 대중에게 효과적으로 전달되고 있지 않다. 정보와 지식은 그 자체로는 수용자가 곧바로 이해하고 받아 들일 만한 형태 및 구조를 가지지 못하다. 생명과학 지식을 일반인에게 효과적으로 전달하기 위해서는 콘텐츠를 유형별로 분류하고 콘텐츠화 하는 가공 과정이 필요하다. 주제의 선정 단계에서부터 내용의 편집 및 표현 단계까지의 일련의 과정으로서 관련 분야의 전문가인 과학자의 적극적인 역할이 강조된다. 콘텐츠화 과정은 과학적, 논리적 사고방식과 더불어 예술적 표현 및 소통 능력을 필요로 한다. 과학의 대중화를 위한 이론적 및 실천적 틀로서 통역의 개념을 제안한다.
