This study examines whether educational differentials in health are greater in more recent cohorts in Korea. This study utilizes latent growth-curve modeling to examine intercohort trends in health for three educational subgroups, using panel data (2003-2007) based on a national probability sample of 9,639 adults. Among young and middle adults with less than a high school diploma, the 4-year newer cohort demonstrated better health at the same age, implying a favorable trend. Middle and older adults with college level and a high school diploma also enjoyed favorable trends in health. This study suggests the possibility that the education-based overall disparity in health is increasing, but there are variations in the trend depending on age group. The increasing disparity mainly occurred among older adults.

The purpose of this study is to explore the process of inquiry problem finding in high school students' small group free-inquiry. For this purpose, 91 second grade high school students took part in small group free-inquiry. We conducted interviews with students (48 students in 15 groups) who were relatively successful in the inquiry performed for one semester (about 4 months). Based on the results of the interviews, we analyzed the characteristics of the inquiry problem finding through the steps and strategies in the inquiry problem finding process. The main results are as follows: First, in the inquiry problem finding process, steps such as selecting keyword, presenting an inconvenience, presenting a question, and finding an inquiry problem were found, and in particular, the process of selecting the keyword that correspond to the subject of inquiry, such as the material and situation of inquiry, is very important step in inquiry problem finding. Second, the strategies that students used in the process of finding inquiry problem included searching information, review of prior research, sharing of knowledge and experience, linking and extension of knowledge and experience, environmental awareness, expert consultation, discussion of suitability, elaboration, etc. Third, finding an inquiry problem was relatively easy in the inquiry for finding out problems (i.e. inconvenience) in everyday life and investigating ways to solve them. Fourth, the review of prior researches through the internet was useful in the process of selecting keyword and elaboration. Fifth, the factors that students consider when selecting one of several candidate inquiry problems are feasibility, real-life applicability, and economic condition. Sixth, the current affairs had a positive impact on the inquiry problem finding. Based on the above results, we discussed some ways to increase students' inquiry problem finding ability.

21세기는 정보기술과 함께 폭증하는 정보의 홍수 속에서 가치 있는 정보를 선택, 판단하고 활용할 수 있는 정보활용능력이 필수적인 사회로 전환되고 있다. 정보 사회 적응을 위한 기본소양 교육이 효과적으로 실천되기 위해서는 정보 소양 학습을 지원하는 다양한 활동이 있어야한다. 교과 교육의 정보화를 실현하는 한 방법으로 교육 과정의 통합적 접근이라고 할 수 있으며, 교육과정의 통합적 접근은 복잡한 사회의 변화에 대한 종합적인 안목을 길러주고, 지식 정보의 폭발적 증가에 보다 적절하게 대응하게 해 준다는 점에서 그 교육적 정당성을 발견할 수 있다. 결국 교육과정의 통합은 급속한 사회의 변화를 교육체제에 조정시키는 수단으로서의 역할을 담당할 수 있다는 점에서 그 교육적 의미가 크다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 체계화된 ICT 교육과정을 편성하였으며 그 편성 방향은 ICT를 기본으로 하여 여러 교과를 통합지도 할 수 있는 교육과정을 조직하고 이를 웹 기반 교수 학습 형태로 제시하였다.

기존의 인터넷과 컴퓨터 등의 발달로 교육현장에서도 많은 WBI (Web-Based Instruct ion)들이 개발되고 사용되고 있으나 교육사이트의 컨텐츠를 살펴보면 대부분이 행동주의 심리학에 근거를 둔 프로그램 형태를 벗어나지 못하고 있어서 학습자에게 의미있는 학습을 유발시키기 보다는 제시된 정보의 기계적 재생에 그치고 있다는 비판을 받고 있다. 이러한 한계를 극복하는 대안으로는 학습자의 외형적이고 기계적인 면보다는 학습자의 인지활동을 강조하는 인지론적 접근이 필요하다고 본다. 인지심리학의 이러한 측면을 잘 반영하는 학습이론으로서 발견학습 이론을 들 수 있다. 발견학습을 적용시킨 모듈부분은 사용자의 편의에 따라 활용하지 않고 그래프의 탐색이 가능하도록 설계되므로 교사 개개인 수업의 형태에 따라 다양하게 적용할 수 있다. 따라서 온라인과 오프라인상의 모든 현장에서 교수-학습지도에 기절할 것이다.

The purpose of this paper is to propose the policy change of teachers education in Korea with an analysis of America statistical literacy education. we found the difference of statistical literacy education between Korea and America with each nation's social and educational environment. We can get the need of new change for statistic teacher's education in Korea. We think of Mathematics teachers should know about the difference between statistics and mathematics at school mathematics. And they should know the new change thinking about teaching method and process assesment methods. Second, Teachers should focused on teaching of problem solving and statistical thinking ability based on data analysis than the teaching of probability and mathematical theory.

In order to manage the lectures efficiently in the university and improve the educational outcome, the process is needed that make diagnosis of the present educational outcome of each classes on a lecture and find factors of educational outcome. In most studies for finding the factors of the efficient lecture, statistical methods such as association analysis, regression analysis are used usually, and recently decision tree analysis is employed, too. The decision tree analysis have the merits that is easy to understand a result model, and to be easy to apply for the decision making, but have the weaknesses that is not strong for characteristic of input data such as multicollinearity. This paper indicates the weaknesses of decision tree analysis, and suggests the experimental solution using multiple decision tree algorithm to supplement these problems. The experimental result shows that the suggested method is more effective in finding the reliable factors of the educational outcome.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the view of pre-service teachers' about middle school teacher's role using reflective writing. Pre-service teachers considered meaning of education is sympathy and discovery. Therefore they considered middle school teacher's role is discoverer of dream and subject master. The consideration of pre-service teachers' about education and middle school teacher's role was affected by their schooling experience. The conclusions drawn from this study are follows: First, the view of pre-service teachers' about teacher's role must not judgement according as former grouping on teaching profession. Second, The view of pre-service teachers about middle school teacher's role is different with reality. So middle school management should be improve to minimize foreseeing dilemma. Third, To do improve pre-service teachers' reflecting thought, various opportunity should be supported. Forth, it is need the institutional improvement and reflection for pre-service teachers' curriculum.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the aspects of analogy of high school student's thinking process revealed in the inquiry activity with synthetic division. The case study method of qualitative research was conducted with two high school 10th grade students. Structure-mapping model(SMM) of Gentner and similarity frames which were proposed by other researchers were utilized to analyze the data. Two students used analogy as a tool and they could discover synthetic division of more than 2 degrees, but they revealed different levels of mathematics discovery depending on the different degree of analogical thinking. Surface similarity in the process of inquiry activity played a vital role in analogical thinking. We asked students to explore and discover analogy based on structure similarity. Analogy based on the systematic approach made it possible to predict upper domain. Analogy based on the procedure similarity induced internalization. We could conclude that analogy has instrumental, heuristic and reflective characteristics.

The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and reliable instrument for measuring scientific problem-finding ability for the scientifically-gifted student. On the basis of an operational definition of scientific problem-finding ability, this instrument consists of five sections(appropriateness, flexibility, originality, elaboration, and valuation) which are designed for measuring the ability of the scientifically-gifted. This instrument was checked the validity of content and evaluation criteria by the five experienced specialists in science education, and then was administered to 38 students of science high school. Because the validity of content and evaluation criteria, construct validity, inter-rater reliability, item difficulty, and item discrimination are suitable for the criteria of good test, this developed instrument in this study is considered valid and reliable.
