The paradigm of engineering education has evolved from subject-centered learning to student -centered learning. In particular, instructional laboratories can be an essential part of studentcentered learning. The curriculum of instructional laboratories in the departments of materials science and engineering, Yonsei University has been investigated. Student surveys on thecurriculum were also carried out. The curriculum was found to develop after reforming it on the basis of student-centered learning. Student feedback reflects that the new curriculum promoted student's active learning and that student's needs of instructional laboratories were considered in the curriculum.

이 연구는 과학 영재 교육과정 구성을 위한 기초 연구다. 과학자의 생애를 통하여 그들이 어떤 방법으로 학습을 하였고, 어떤 교육을 받았으며, 어떤 환경의 영향을 받았는가를 알아보고, 그 결과를 토대로 과학 영재 교육과정 구성의 방향을 설정해보려는 것이다. 아인슈타인, 하이젠베르크, 슈뢰딩거, 뉴턴, 갈릴레이, 다윈, 빠스뙤르, 파인만 등을 중심으로 초등학교, 중등학교, 대학교에서의 학습내용, 학습-교수 방법, 교육환경 등을 추출하였다. 연구의 결과는 첫째, 학습내용은 초등학교에서는 과학적 기반 형성에 필요한 공통교과, 중등학교에서는 과학적 지식의 축적에 필요한 전공 교과, 대학에서는 과학적 지식의 생산에 필요한 교과가 중심이 된다. 둘째, 교수-학습 방법은 초등학교에서는 관찰, 중등학교에서는 실험과 토론, 그리고 대학의 과정에서는 연구가 중심이 된다. 셋째, 환경적 영향은 초등학교에서는 가정의 영향이, 중등학교에서는 학교의 영향이, 그리고 대학의 과정에서는 사회적 영향이 중심이 된다.

In this paper I analyzed mathematics textbooks of elementary school in 1st curriculum. I found that they used the natural closed items and children's play. And they also delayed the introduction of the symbol and letters. Finally they had the system to practice what students learned repeatedly.

If the philosophy of the curriculum is changed when the curriculum is revised, discussion about knowledge viewpoints in the changed philosophy is needed. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze elementary mathematics textbooks(EMT) based on the perspective of constructivism knowledge as basic philosophy of the 7th curriculum and the 2007 revised curriculum and to present aim of textbooks development through the results. According to the results, the number and operation units of 1st and 2nd grades of EMT compiled according to the 7th curriculum and the 2007 revised curriculum didn't reflect the perspective of constructivism knowledge as the philosophy of the curriculum. From the analysis, EMT were not composed so as to agree the perspective of constructivism knowledge that emphasize concepts, conceptua1 principles, variety, integration.

This study examined the content diversity of seven authorized science textbooks by comparing the characteristics of the science concept description and the contents of inquiry activities in the "weight of objects" unit. For each textbook, the flow of concept description content and the uniqueness of the concept description process were analyzed, and the number of nodes and links and words with high connections were determined using language network analysis. In addition, for the inquiry activities described in each textbook, the inquiry subject, inquiry type, science process skill, and uniqueness were investigated. Results showed that the authorized textbooks displayed no more diversity than expected in their scientific concept description method or their inquiry activity composition. The learning elements, inclusion of subconcepts, and central words were similar for each textbook. The comparison of inquiry activities showed similarities in their contents, inquiry types, and scientific process skills. Specifically, these textbooks did not introduce any research topics or experimental methods that were absent in previous textbooks. However, despite the fact that the authorized textbook system was developed based on the same curriculum, some efforts were made to make use of its strengths. Since the sequence of subconcepts to explain the core contents differed across textbooks, this explanation process was divided into several types, and although the contents of inquiry activities were the same, the materials for inquiry activities were shown differently for each textbook to improve and overcome the difficulties in the existing experiments. These findings necessitate the continuation of efforts to utilize the strengths of certified textbooks.

The purpose of this study is to explore the direction of home economics education in order to strengthen students' competencies. We explored the direction of competency-based home economics class, and teaching and learning methods for strengthening subject competencies, then develop class case. The main research results of this study are as follows. First, in order to cultivate subject competencies, students should be the center of the education, class and evaluation by integrating of the curriculum-class-evaluation, so that they can grow into the subject of life. Second, to enhance subject competencies, case example of the home economics was presented focusing on integrating curriculum-class-evaluation. It is expected that this study will be able to integrate curriculum-class-evaluation into the concrete realization of subject competencies in home economics education.

This research takes an introspective and critical approach to the college level visual communication design education in Korea. As such, the changes of the college-level visual communication design curriculum in Korea are analyzed. Selected were 3 major design schools which have a relatively long design educational history in Korea. Those 3 schools are Hongik University, Seoul National University and Ewha University. The curricula were categorized and its changes were followed. The faculty members of those 3 schools were also analyzed. The college level design education began from 1946 at Seoul National University. The Koreas design education was influenced from the Japanese Design curriculum and then the American design curriculum from the beginning. The Korean design educators accepted those new design educational paradigm without any criticism, and it is now structurized in our design educational system. It caused the curriculum with practice-centered classes mostly, and the function centered design education without understanding of socio-cultural environments. The Korean design education needs more liberal arts which will lead us to more discourses about ourselves, and needs to employ more local design educators to solve the intellectual skewness in the Korean academic society in the field of Design.

In general, early childhood mathematics education is conducted and operated in early childhood education curriculum. Moreover, Korean early childhood education is approached and conducted by an U.S. NCTM. So, it is meaningful to compare American and Korean early childhood mathematics education curriculum. Therefore, I has studied how those points of views of the mathematics education are instituted in the curriculums respectively. The main purpose of this study is to investigate principles of NCTM(National Council of Teacher of Mathematics): content standards and process standards. I hope the finding of this study would reflect to the 7th Korean early childhood mathematics education including learning and curriculum constitution.

The purpose of this study is to survey the status of the 7th elective-centered curriculum and find problems in operating the system. 485 students in the tenth and eleventh grade were randomly selected as subjects. The results are as follows. (1) Among the students, 29% of them selected their science subject without considering their future jobs, 48% did it without enough overview of the system, and 25% did without clearly understanding the details the choice centered curriculum. (2) Among the students who participated in the survey, 65% of them showed positive responses concerning the needs of individual choice centered curriculum and 96% said it increased their participation in class. However, only 39% believed that operating this type of curriculum is realistically possible. (3) 89% of students selected their science subjects accordingly with the college preparatory courses and 14% selected based on their hopes. (4) The percentage of science subjects chosen are 40% for chemistry, 25% for biology, 22% for Physics, and 13% for earth science, but 74% of students wanted to change their choices. These results showed that students recognized the object of the 7th curriculum, but selected science subjects as a means of getting into college entrances, rather than carefully considering their future and aptitude.
