Writing is an indispensable skill among the four language skills, but in actual teaching, it is also a difficult part to master for students. To improve students' writing ability, it is very important to understand their cognition and attitude towards writing. Because students are the main body of learning, learning and teaching are complementary to each other. Comprehending students' opinions is very significant for improving teaching. For this, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the perception and attitudes of Korean college students towards Chinese writing de ply, and based on the results of the survey, this study also suggested several proposals.

There has been an explosion of new research and writing about all aspects of the information disciplines. Nevertheless, both academics and practitioners often find it difficult to engage in successful writing strategies. Indeed, writing is hard work, and doing it in a way that leads to publication is an even harder task. Since reading is essential to good writing, the challenges of learning to write are obvious. In this essay, I am drawing on many years of experience in writing and publishing, as well as considerable reading of writers’ memoirs, advice books on writing, literary studies, and other perspectives on the experience of writing in order to offer a set of approaches that can be pursued over a lifetime of scholarship and practice. Writing is a craft or art to be learned, and learning demands paying attention to the audience, having clear objectives, being an avid reader, and possessing the ability to accept and learn from criticism. While information professionals and scholars incessantly write for each other, there are large segments of the public and other disciplines who they ignore. Fortunately, the tools and resources for improving one’s writing are both broad and deep; discipline and realistic strategies are all that are required to improve one’s writing and, ultimately, to achieve success in publishing.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a writing program and the type of picture book used on the early stages of writing and creative writing in young children. The different stages of writing amongst young children was divided into an early stage of writing for pre-schoolers and creative writing for spontaneous expression and problem solving. The subjects comprised 36 children aged 5 from a child daycare center in Seoul. Among the KISE-BAAT and Creative tests, the writing test and creative writing test were used. The early stage of writing and creative writing were both analyzed by means of both ANCOVA and T-test. Firstly, in the subscale of the early stage of writing(ability to mark, use vocabulary, create sentences and text construction), the early stage writing of the experiment group scored higher than that of the comparison group. Secondly, in terms of the type of picture books, the group using informational picture books had greater effects on the early stage of writing than the group using narrative picture books. Thirdly, the writing program itself had a positive effect on creative writing. In the subscale of creative writing (fluency, flexibility, novelty), the group using informational picture books made greater progress in fluency and novelty than the group using narrative picture books.

이 연구는 글쓰기를 활용한 논의-기반 모델링 전략이 학생들의 모델링 능력에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 또한 논의-기반 모델링 전략에서 다중표상의 적용여부가 학생들의 모델링 능력에 미치는 효과를 비교하였다. 이를 위해 남녀공학 중학교 1학년 세 개 학급(66명) 중 두 개 학급(43명)은 실험집단으로, 한 개 학급(23명)은 비교집단으로 선정하였다. 논의-기반 모델링 전략을 적용한 두 개 실험집단 중에서 한 개 학급은 AbRM집단(Argument-based multimodal Representation and Modeling, 논의-기반 다중표상 및 모델링 집단, 22명), 다른 한 개 학급은 AbM집단(Argument-based Modeling, 논의-기반 모델링 집단, 21명), 나머지 한 개 학급은 비교집단(23명)으로 선정하였다. 논의-기반 모델링 전략은 인지 과정, 해석 과정, 적용과정으로 구성되어 있다. 실험집단은 논의-기반 모델링 전략의 인지과정과 해석 과정을 공통적으로 수행하고 적용 과정에서 차이를 두었다. AbRM집단은 논의-기반 다중표상 및 모델링을 적용하였고, AbM 집단은 논의-기반 모델링을 적용했으며, 비교집단은 전통적 수업방식을 적용하였다. 논의-기반 모델링 전략이 학생들의 모델링 능력에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, AbRM집단의 경우 통합적 모델링 수준에서 다른 두 집단보다 통계적으로 유의미하게 높았고, AbM집단은 비교집단보다 유의미하게 높았다. 모델링 능력 검사의 하위요소인 문제인식, 과학개념 구조화, 주장-증거 적절성, 다중표상 지수에서 AbRM집단의 경우 모든 하위요소에서 AbM집단과 비교집단 보다 통계적으로 유의미하게 높았으며, 그 다음으로 AbM집단이 비교집단 보다 통계적으로 유의미하게 높았다. 이러한 결과로부터 논의-기반 모델링 전략은 모델링의 목적인 의사소통을 위해 자신이 만든 모델을 논의와 글쓰기를 통해 과학적 언어를 사용하여 스스로 정리하거나 표현하고, 다른 사람의 의견을 듣고 교환하는 과정을 통해 모델을 평가하고 수정하는 일련의 과정을 통해서 학생들의 모델링 능력의 향상에 효과적임을 보여주었다.

In order to investigate elementary school students' readiness to write on scientific subject, we analyzed the participants' draft in elementary student section [National Student Science Writing Contest] which is sponsored by a daily press. As a first step, we designed an assessment framework to analyze the students' writing. It is composed of three domains: scientific thinking, logical validity, creativeness. Each domain has three sub-domains. By using the framework, seven raters scored the students' inquiry reports. The findings reveal that the students needed the training for scientific writing. Especially they had great difficulty in the sub-domain of 'suggestion of rational alternative solution' in scientific thinking domain, the sub-domains of 'clearness' and 'coherence' in logical validity domain, and in the sub-domains of 'creative problem solving' and 'creative presentation' in creative domain.

This study examined how a Structured Reading Framework (SRF) is related to improving students' critical thinking ability in an argument-based inquiry approach, called the Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) approach. A total of 75 $8^{th}$ graders participated in the study, with 34 in the control group and 41 in the treatment group. The gains in critical thinking skills were compared between two groups, and relationships among the components of the reading framework and the critical thinking skills were explored at the group level. Result indicates that the treatment group who used the SRF had larger gains in critical thinking scores than control group who used the Original Reading Framework (ORF). In addition, results show that the correlations between Reading Framework (RF) components and critical thinking scores are statistically significant in the treatment group, while no correlations exist in the control group. It appears that using the SRF have an impact on developing students' critical thinking ability by providing a scaffold to assist argumentation practice.
