This study was conducted on the alternative concept of elementary school pre-service teachers to seasonal changes. From May 2021 to June 2022, it was conducted with 60 pre-primary teachers at P National University of Education. The conclusion of this study is as follows. First, pre-primary teachers explained the cause of seasonal changes, and out of 60 pre-primary teachers, only 22 (36%) had scientific concepts, and the remaining 38 (64%) students had alternative concepts. Second, in explaining how the inclination of the Earth's axis of rotation is related to seasonal changes, only 16 (27%) of the 60 pre-primary teachers had a scientific concept, and the remaining 44 (73%) had alternative concepts. Third, pre-primary teachers explained the relationship between the change in the solar altitude and the seasonal change. Among 60 pre-primary teachers, 12 (20%) had a scientific concept, and the remaining 48 (80%) had alternative concepts. Fourth, looking at the comprehensive types of alternative concepts for seasonal changes, the aS-bS-cS type, which is classified as a type that explains the causes of seasonal changes using scientific concepts as a whole, was 8(13%) out of 60 pre-primary teachers. and the remaining 52 (87%) had at least one alternative concept to explain seasonal changes.

Barotropic Model을 이용하여 바람의 계절변화에 따른 대마난류의 형성을 살펴보았다. 모델 격자간격은 위도와 경도방향 모두 $0.25^{\circ}$로 하였고 바람은 Hellerman & Rosenstein (1983)의 바람을 이용하였다. 모델결과에 의하면 대마난류는 대만해협이 음의 유선함수 (Stream Function) 값을 갖는 동계 (10월-3월)에는 쿠로시오로 부터 직접 분기되어 형성되며 대만해협이 양의 유선함수값을 갖는 하계 (4월-9월)에는 대만해협을 통해 유입된 대만난류가 대마난류의 기원으로 나타난다. 이러한 대만난류 유입경로의 계절변화는 쿠로시오 수송량의 계절변화에 의한 것이 아니라 연해 (동지나해) 에서의 바람의 계절변화에 의해 야기되는 것으로 사료된다. 대한해협과 대만해협에서의 수송량과 쿠로시오의 수송량변화는 각각의 최대, 최소값만을 고려하면 쿠로시오와 대한해협에서의 수송량 변화는 약 $180^{\circ}$의 위상차를 갖으며, 대만해협에서의 수송량변화는 북풍계열의 바람이 우세한 동계를 제외하고는 쿠로시오의 수송량변화와 같은 위상을 갖는다.

This study is to investigate preconception of elementary school students and Belizean elementary school teachers and to devise experiment to understand a cause of seasonal change. An open-ended questionnaire and interviews were conducted for 91 6th grade students who didn't learn seasonal change and 10 Belizean teachers to find out preconception of seasonal change and they were categorized by using inductive analysis. They thought that the Earth's rotation, the distance between the Sun and the Earth, the Earth's revolution, pollution and climate change cause seasonal change. And it found out that these misconceptions come from difficulty in awareness of space and impreciseness of textbooks and books and so on. The experiment was designed to correct inaccurate preconception and to improve lessons of seasonal change. It is to measure a meridian altitude and a length of daytime and nighttime and to compare them. This experiment can help to understand the cause of seasonal change by measuring natural phenomenons like the meridian altitude and the change of length of daytime by model.

지구의 기후변화에 따른 생태계 변화를 예측하기위한 연구의 일환으로 월악산에서의 식물계절 연구를 위한 기초를 마련하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 기온의 변화 뿐만 아니라 단풍, 낙엽현삳과 같은 식물계절의 구성요소들이 다양하게 나타났다. 또한 같은 종에서도 국지적으로 분포하는 지형적 위치의 차이, 즉 능선인가 사면하부인가에 따라 큰 차이를 보였다. 따라서 사면, 능선과 같은 지형적 요소를 잘 고려하여 생물계절 연구의 장소를 선정하는 것과 기온변화에 잘 반응하는 식물 종을 골라 식물계절을 연구할 필요가 있으며, 이를 위한 보다 상세하고 구체적인 기초적 연구가 더욱 요구되고 있다.

Monthly mean sea levels from 103 tidal stations in Korea, Japan, and Russia are analyzed to study long-period sea level variations. Barometric adjustment are done for all the sea level data, using monthly air pressures at sea levels from meteorological stations near tidal stations. Seasonal variation is dominant in most of study area. It is the largest in the coasts along the Tsushima Current, and the smallest in the Russian coasts. The cross-correlations of seasonal variations are very high between the coasts along the Tsushima Current. In these marginal seas, seasonal variations seem to be related with the Tsushima Current. The phase of seasonal variations is generally getting late from south to north, and also from west to east. On the other hand, longer-period variations(longer than seasonal variation) have the largest amplitudes and the earliest phases in the coasts along the Pacific Ocean, which shows that they propagate from the Pacific Ocean. Shorter-period variations (shorter than seasonal variation) have generally lower cross correlations. Their values do not show any dictinct difference between areas, and show a common tendency that they are inversely proportional to distance. It implies that the shorter period waves are generated all over the study areas, and propagate in all the directions with faster dissipations. The trends of sea levels in the study area are generally negative in the coasts along the Pacific Ocean and positive in the other areas during the period of 1965 to 1985. By the trends, the mean volume transport between Cheju and Sasebo can be reduced by about 1 Sv during the period. The seasonal variation of volume transport obtained by sea level difference is about 2 Sv in the Korea Strait. The values are comparable to previous reports.

정규식생지수는 일반적으로 식생의 활력도를 나타나는 지표로서 널리 사용되고 있다. 최근에는 정규식생지수가 특정지역의 강우량과 온도의 계절 및 경년변화와 어떤 상관관계를 가지며 기후변화는 식생지수에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 등에 관한 연구가 활발히 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 1981년부터 2001년까지의 NOAA/AVHRR 영상으로부터 계산된 남한지역 정규식생지수의 주성분 분석을 통해 자료의 공간변화패턴을 분석하고 경험적 직교함수를 이용하여 시간적 변화 양상을 파악하였다. 분석결과 정규식생지수의 공간변화도는 첫 주성분에 의하여 약 $60\%$ 정도 설명되어지며 첫 주성분은 남한지역의 지형 자료 패턴을 따르고 두 번째 주성분은 전체 변화도의 약 $17\%$를 나타내며 강한 남북기울기를 보여주는 것은 계절변화와 상관한 위도변화에 따른 정규식생지수의 변화를 나타낸다. 그리고 소양강댐 및 안동댐 유역의 정규식생지수, 강우량 및 유입량 상관관계 분석 결과 정규식생지수의 계절변화와 경년변화는 강우량의 변화에 그리 민감하지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

This study was to investigate the preconception and phases of children's conceptual change about season through an instruction on the concept. Participants in the study were seventy-eight fifth graders in two classrooms of an elementary school located in Incheon city. Children's preconception was examined using a questionnaire, consisted of a drawing and literal explanation. The questionnaire also was used at the midterm-test, post-test, and one-week delayed-test. The results shows several findings as follows: some children (a) change their synthetic conceptions to form another synthetic conceptions through the instruction; (b) exhibit that their conceptions are unstable; and (c) are mainly influenced by distance and heating effect on the seasonal spatial distribution between the Earth and the Sun, and by the Earth's rotation on the seasonal change of constellations in acquiring the scientific concepts.

The phenological change of plants is an indication of local and regional climate change. An increase in temperature due to global warming is manifest in the change of phytophenological events. In this study, trends in the plant phenology and its correlation with air temperature in South Korea were examined using observational data for 18 phenological phases. The spring phenological phases, such as sprouting and flowering, occurred earlier (from 0.7 to 2.7 days per 10-year) during 1945 ${\sim}$2007. while the autumn phases, such as full autumn tinting, moved later (from 3.7 to 4.2 days per 10-year) during 1989 ${\sim}$2007. The correlation between the plant phenology in spring with the air temperature from February to March is relatively high. The warming in the early spring (February March) by $1^{\circ}C$. causes an advance in the spring plant phenology of 3.8 days. The plant phenology in autumn also correlates with the average temperature in October. The autumn plant phenology for a $1^{\circ}C$ increase in October temperature occurs about 3.1 days later.

This study was designed to analyze the types of concepts about earth science related to seasonal changes, so as to develop a generative learning model focused on dissolving cognitive conflicts between the aforementioned concepts through debates and using said debates to find out how effectively the model works. There are 100 types of earth science concepts concering seasonal changes, 66 of which are unscientific in nature, including misconceptions. Through a second field trial and a research and development (R&D) process, a test on these concepts was developed, consisting of 14 items. For the experimental group, a four-phase generative learning strategy that reflects the types of earth science concepts and cognitive conflicts between such concepts was developed through pre-analysis and discussion, respectively. On the other hand, a traditional teaching and teaming strategy was used for the control group. A meaningful statistic gap found between the two groups through a covariance analysis, the significance level of which was 0.05. This result may be interpreted to mean that the generative teaming strategy is a possible alternative for correcting misconceptions about scientific concepts of seasonal changes.

BACKGROUND: It is well known that rice-fields can provide excellent foraging places for birds including seasonal migrants, wintering, and breeding and hence the high biodiversity of rice-fields may be expected. However, how environmental change including climate-changes on life-history and population dynamics in birds on rice-fields has not been fully understood. In order to investigate how climate-change affects population migratory patterns and migration timing, I modeled a population dynamics of birds in rice-fields over a whole year. METHODS AND RESULTS: I applied the Lotka-Volterra equation to model the population dynamics of birds that have been foraging/visiting rice-fields in Korea. The simple model involves the number of interspecific individuals and temperature, and the model parameters are periodic in time as the biological activities related to the migration, wintering and reproduction are seasonal. As results, firstly there was a positive relationship between the variation of seasonal population sizes and temperature change. Secondly, the reduced lengths of season were negatively related to the population size. Overall, the effects of the difference of lengths of season on seasonal population dynamics were higher than the effects of seasonal temperature change. CONCLUSION(S): Climate change can alter population dynamics of birds in rice-fields and hence the variation may affect the fitness, such as reproduction, survival and migration. The unstable balances of population dynamics in birds using paddy rice field as affected by climate change can reduce the population growth and species diversity in rice fields. The results suggest that the agricultural production is partly affected by the unstable balance of population in birds using rice-fields.
