In this study, we investigated pre-service chemistry teachers' awareness and perceptions of middle school students' misconceptions and their perceived educational needs. A survey was administered to 87 seniors at the department of chemistry education of five colleges of education. The instrument was consisted of a test for their awareness and perceptions of students' misconceptions on chemistry topics and an educational need test for their experiences and needs for learning them. Analyses of the results revealed that most pre-service teachers were not thoroughly aware of students' misconceptions related to the particulate nature of matter. The perceptions of a necessity of knowing misconceptions and a willingness to deal with them were positive. However there were few pre-service teachers addressing them according to the constructivism. The pre-service teachers encountered misconceptions through chemical education courses, and had difficulties in practicing teaching strategies addressing misconceptions because of limited examples of misconceptions and insufficiencies of methods/materials in teaching. They also needed lectures and practices related to students' misconceptions. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.

This study conducted a survey of 265 dental hygienists working in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province from January 10 to February 28, 2021 to understand the ethical values and professional occupational characteristics of clinical dental hygienists. The difference in ethical values and professional occupational perception between subjects was post-tested using SPSS WIN 20.0 program and Scheffe test using independent sample T-test and one-way ANOVA. According to the results of the study, ethical thinking in ethical values was statistically significant in dental hospitals with higher final education, more work experience, and ethical work experience (p<0.05). The higher the age, the higher the final education, the more ethical education experience at university, the higher the sense of mission, the fewer working days, the more satisfying the job, the higher the organizational compliance with professional organizations and public service (p<0.05). The results of this study confirm the necessity of regular ethics education such as continuing education for dental hygienists, and are expected to be used as basic data to maintain ethical values and professionalism in clinical practice.

The importance of teaching the nature of science (NOS) has been emphasized in the science curriculum, especially in the science curriculum for science-gifted students. Nevertheless, few studies concerning the structure and formation of students' mental model on NOS have been carried out. This study aimed to explore science-gifted students' understanding of 'fact', 'hypothesis', 'theory', 'law', and 'scientificness' by utilizing semantic network analysis. One hundred ten science-gifted middle school students who were selected by a national university participated in this study. We collected students' written responses of five items and analyzed them by the semantic network analysis(SNA) method. As a result, the core ideas of students' understanding of 'fact' were proof and reality, of 'hypothesis' were tentativeness and uncertainty, of 'theory' was proven hypothesis by experimentation, of 'law' were absoluteness and authority, and of 'scientificness' were factual evidence, verifiability, accurate and logical theoretical framework. The result of integrated semantic network illustrated that the viewpoint of science-gifted students were similar to absolutism and logical positivism (empiricism). Methodologically, this study showed that the semantic network analysis method was an useful tool for visualization of students' mental model of scientific conceptions including NOS.

More and more universities are enforcing SW education for non-major undergraduates. However, they are experiencing difficulties in educating non-major students to understand computational thinking processes. In this paper, we did not use the mathematical operation problem to solve this problem. And we proposed a basic problem-solving process teaching method based on computational thinking using simple physical devices. In the proposed educational method, we teach a LED circuit using an Arduino board as an example. And it explains the problem-solving process with computational thinking. Through this, students learn core computational thinking processes such as abstraction, problem decomposition, pattern recognition and algorithms. By applying the proposed methodology, students can gain the concept and necessity of computational thinking processes without difficulty in understanding and analyzing the given problem.

In this study, we analyzed the causes of decrease in the number of students taking Chemistry ? in the College Scholastics Ability Test (CSAT) by analyzing the adequacy of the Chemistry I question in the CSAT and the recognition survey of students and teachers about the Chemistry I choice. We analyzed some questions in Chemistry I of the CSAT from the year 2014 to 2016. The questions were analyzed to determine whether they were appropriate to the curriculum content, achievement standard, and achievement level. The target of the survey for perception was 452 senior high school students and 68 science teachers. The result of the study showed that the questions in Chemistry I are somewhat difficult compared to the depth and achievement level required by the curriculum, and it also requires mathematical thinking ability. Students recognized the mathematical thinking and complex mathematical skills are needed to solve problems in Chemistry I. Teachers also thought that the choice of Chemistry I is unfavorable in aspect of meeting the minimum academic ability standard, and accordingly, they did not actively recommend students to take Chemistry I. Moreover, most of the teachers recognized that it is necessary to improve the direction of writing questions for Chemistry I. Therefore, setting questions that can be solved using chemical knowledge, not mathematical ability need to be addressed.
