This study investigated the influences of metacognitive learning strategies upon 6th-graders' achievement, science process skill, use of cognitive strategies, use of metacognitive strategies, self-efficacy, intrinsic value, attitude toward science class, and scientific attitude. The metacognitive learning strategies were developed on the basis of previous results and modified in a pilot study. Before the instructions, a pretest of motivation was administered, and used as a blocking variable. The score of previous achievement test was used as covariates for achievement and science process skill. Tests of use of cognitive strategies, use of metacognitive strategies, self-efficacy, intrinsic value, attitude toward science class, and scientific attitude were also administered, and their scores were used as covariates. After the instructions, a researcher-made achievement test, the Middle Grades Integrated Science Process Skills Test, and post-tests of above variables were administrated. Two-way ANCOVA results revealed that the scores of the treatment group were significantly higher than those of the control group for all tests except for science process skill. No interactions between the treatment and the level of the previous motivation were found. Educational implications are discussed.

The effect of Web-based project learning on the science achievement and attitude of middle school students was investigated. Four classes of 9th grade at a coed middle school were divided into control and experimental groups. Web-based project instruction in which students utilized the Web to interactively carry out their projects was put into practice with the experimental group, while traditional instruction was employed with the control group. Pre- and post-test achievement and attitude scores were estimated through an analysis of covariance. Web-based project instruction was seen to be more effective in enhancing students’ science achievement and attitude than traditional instruction. In particular, the former instruction was most useful for improving higher level students’ achievement and attitude among the higher, middle, and lower level students of both groups, based on their academic achievement. The effect of Web-based project may result in eradicating negative cognition about gender difference.

A total of 217 third year students were recruited from two nursing colleges in Gwangju. Structured questionnaire was self-administered from March 2 to 31, 2012. In academic self-efficacy, there were significant differences in gender, high school type, character. Problem-solving ability showed statistically significant differences in curriculum usability after graduation. In multiple regression analysis, self-efficacy, learning motivation and self-directed learning were significant factors of problem-solving ability explaining 37.3% of the variables. In conclusion, self-efficacy, learning motivation, and self-directed learning had a positive effect on problem-solving ability in nursing students. To enhance problem-solving ability for nursing students, it is necessary to develop teaching program and curriculum for increasing academic self-efficacy, learning motivation, and self-directed learning.

The study in this paper considers how high school students' attitudes toward and interest in mathematics could be promoted by conjoining the learning of ma thematics with the learning of social science topics. Survey instrument was dev eloped to measure student attitudes toward mathematics and social science subje cts and to evaluate student beliefs on learning mathematics embedded in social science topics. Data were collected from high school students in Korea by admi nistering pre- and post-tests: students were intervened with examples of math problems embedded in certain social contexts. The findings indicate that high sc hool students' experience of solving mathematics problems embedded in social c ontexts positively affects the promotion of their attitudes toward and beliefs on both mathematics and social science subjects.

The purpose of this paper is to compare affective characteristics of mathematically gifted children and average students, by analying self-tests of self-efficacy and attitudes about mathematics. we survey 109 children from Mathematically Gifted Education Institutes located in Busan, and students from 6 elementary schools, each two graded A, B, and C, where schools graded A and B refer to so-called schools with concurrent and general classes and C schools with, semi-special and special classes ones. Those schools are determined through the consideration of geographical, cultural, and environmental conditions of 48 elementary schools under Seobu Educational Office, Busan Metropolitan City. From each of the six schools, a 5th-grade class is selected. That is, 205 students from 6 classes are finally selected. Results of the study can be described as follows. First, mathematically gifted children score higher on whole attitudes about mathematics and interest, preference, and confidence in each subarea than children from schools whose location is classified as A, B, and C. Irrespective of genders, mathematically gifted children are scored higher in the whole attitudes about mathematics than children from schools classified as A, B, and C. Second, mathematically gifted children are higher in score for self-efficacy than children from schools graded A, B, and C. Regardless of gender, mathematically gifted children are scored higher in self-efficacy than other groups of children. But mathematically gifted children's score is not significantly higher than that of children form schools graded A.

고등학교 한국지리 8종 교과서에 수록된 동굴명과 학습 컨텐츠 유형별로 동굴의 특성을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 8종 교과서에 수록된 자연동굴의 경우 석회동굴에 대한 사례가 많으며 용암동굴과 해식동굴에 대한 소개는 상대적으로 미약하다. 둘째, 동굴에 대한 학습 컨텐츠의 경우 사진자료의 이용빈도가 매우 높은 편이며 그 외 모식도와 지형도를 이용하여 설명하고 있다. 셋째, 교과서 본문에 수록된 동굴명과 학습컨텐츠에 제시된 동굴의 경우 고수동굴에 대한 내용이 매우 높은 편이며 지역적으로도 충북 단양군을 사례로 한 경우가 많다. 특히, 북한에 분포하고 있는 동룡굴에 대한 소개가 특이할 만하다. 향후 천연자원으로서 자연동굴에 대한 주요 관광수요층인 고등학생들의 자연동굴에 대한 올바른 인식과 간접체험을 위한 학습컨텐츠의 개발이 기대된다. 이러한 학습컨텐츠의 개발과 교육현장에서 적용은 학생들로 하여금 지속 가능한 자연동굴의 보존관리와 환경 친화적인 관광개발 및 관광객의 관람태도가 왜 필요한가에 대한 당위성을 충분히 이해시킬 수 있을 것으로 보여진다.
