The purpose of this study is to analyze Korean students' mathematics achievement characteristics and draw implications for better math education in schools through comparing the results of three east Asian top level countries, Korea, Singapore, and Japan in PISA 2012 results. As a results, the rate of correct answers of Korea students was relatively low compared with those of Singapore, but relatively higher than Japan. From the results of effect size, similar results from t-test was discovered. As shown in analysis according to sub-elements in math assessment framework, the Korean students had low effect size in every sub-elements than Singapore. and they had high effect size at most of sub-elements than Japan, except "personal" context. In top performing level(above level 5), the Korean students had high effect size at "quantities" in mathematical contents, and "employ" in mathematical processes compared with Singapore. And they had row effect size at 6 sub-elements compared with Japan.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the relationship between science achievement and student-related variables in the 2006 National Assessment of Educational Achievement (NAEA), the subjects of which included 3% of students within the entire population of the grades 6, 9 and 10. The results showed that the more they talk with parents, study by themselves, and read the books, the higher the students achieved in science. The science achievement was also significantly and positively related to self-regulated learning, adaptation to school life and attitude toward science. It is implied that the approach of stimulating internal motive such as interest, attitude toward science and human relations is more effective in resulting in the students' higher science achievement than focusing on external attitudes such as forcing good study habits.

This study attempted, in accordance with the National Educational Curriculum, to develop achievement assessment standards for a course within the field of home economics which has been widely adopted by Korean vocational high schools, namely, the food and nutrition subject. Focus was also placed on strengthening the management of the curriculum for this food and nutrition course, as well as on establishing proper assessment standards by developing model assessment tools which can be used to assess the subject. The results of this study can be summarized as follows : First, based on an analysis of the related literature and materials. the desired notion of the achievement and assessment standards was established, and their significance ascertained the achievement and assessment standards for the food and nutrition course were set and the type of model assessment tool which should be developed, as well as the method in which it should be applied. was established Second. by analyzing the curriculums and the contents of the textbooks used in the food and nutrition subject, the researcher was able to compile the 70 factors which could to be used to develop the achievement and assessments standards, and then classify these into 6 main categories and 32 sub-categories. Based on the characteristics of these factors and learners' academic performance levels the number of factors was expanded to 89 in order to establish the achievement standards. In turn, these achievement standards were used, in accordance with the learners' achievement and teaming activity levels, to develop three different levels of assessment standards. namely, upper, middle, and lower ones. Third. a model assessment tool was developed which could be used by individual school units as a reference in terms of achievement and assessment standards, and that could be modified to meet each school's circumstances. In order to create the model assessment tool a 100-question questionnaire was formulated that contained various types of questions, such as essay, report, theoretical and practical, portfolio, as well as multiple choice-type questions. Lastly, the researcher introduced measures to effectively use the achievement and assessment standards developed for the food and nutrition course, as well as the model assessment tool in school units.

We investigated student's characteristics in each educational achievement level using the results of the NAEA (National Assessment of Educational Achievement) in 2009, 2010, and 2011 for Grade 6 students, and compared the characteristics between elementary and middle school students. The analysis of representative items for each educational achievement level of elementary and middle school students revealed that (a) advanced level students from both elementary and middle school could exactly understand the achievement criteria of the curriculum, (b) proficient level students from both elementary and middle school were understanding the achievement criteria of the curriculum superficially, for example, they could not understand concepts exactly but could memorize terms, and so should have compensational education under situations that ask for short answer or essay type items instead of multiple choice items, and (c) basic level students from both elementary and middle school almost could not understand the achievement criteria of curriculum, and so should have compensational education under situations that only deal with a simple situation. Science concepts treated in science curriculum are hierarchically organized by level of school, and simple compensational education for the students of below basic level will not solve learning deficits in science education. Differentiated education by educational achievement should be largely expanded instead.

현대 사회에서 정보는 학생들의 생활에 큰 영향을 주고 있으며, 정보화 사회의 주역이 될 학생들에게 정보화 교육은 절실하게 필요하다. 2003년 이후로 초등학교에서 정보통신기술이 전면적으로 실시된 이후 여러 방면에서 활발한 논의가 이루어지고 있지만, 교육 목표에 대한 학생들의 학업 성취 수준을 평가하는 것은 간과되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 초등학교 2, 4, 6학년 학생들의 정보통신기술교육에 대한 학습 목표 성취도를 살펴보고, 학생들의 학습 경로와 교육목표 성취도 간의 관계를 분석하여 더 나은 ICT 교육의 방향을 제시해 보고자 한다. 먼저, 단계별 학습 영역에 따른 학습 내용을 추출하고 평가 기준을 세운 후 해당 학생들의 학습 정도와 학습 내용의 습득 경로를 평가지를 통하여 조사하였다. 조사 내용을 영역별로 분석한 결과 컴퓨터 교육의 인지적인 부분이 기능적인 부분보다 상대적으로 교육목표 성취도가 낮으며, 학습 경로를 분석한 결과 수업 시간보다는 집에서 가족에게 배우거나 스스로 익히는 경우가 더 많은 것으로 조사되었다.

In this study, Korean middle school student science achievement results in the "Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study" (TIMSS 2003) were analyzed according to international benchmarks, content area, gender and student attitudes toward science. Overall Korea ranked the third internationally and had a mean score of 558. Korean students achieved top ranking in physics, but fell to the ninth place in chemistry. Unliked their counter parts in similar countries such as Singapore and Chinese Taipei, Korean students did not reach the highest benchmark. Compared to previous assessment, Korean girls showed improved performance; however, significant gender differences still exist in Korea; apparent from the better performance of boys than girls in the study. It is also noteworthy that Korean students were found to have the lowest self-confidence in learning science, a lower valuing science, and less enjoying learning science even though they produced high achievement scores.

This study analyzed gender differences in variability with the results of National Assessment of Educational Achievement on Mathematics from 2003 to 2006, which subjects are 3rd, 9th and 10th grades. The purpose of the analysis was to explain gender differences in mean of mathematical ability scores from a different angle. The results and conclusions obtained in this study are as follows: First, regardless of grades and mean differences, male assessment scores were consistently more variable than female assessment scores. Second, for same male and female students, scores in later grades were almost consistently more variable than those in earlier grades. Third, for all grades, the ratios of males in an advanced and below-basic levels were generally higher than those of females in the same achievement levels.

In this paper, we analyzed the characteristics of the gender difference with the results of National Assessment of Educational Achievement(NAEA) from 2004 to 2006, which subjects are 3rd, 9th and 10th graders. First, we analyzed the characteristics of the achievement by the scale scores, according to years, achievement standards, grades. Second, we surveyed the number of items and ratio which male/female prevails and its characteristics according to grades, difference levels, content areas(i.e., numbers and operations, figures, measurement, probability and statistics, letters and formulas, patterns and function). Furthermore, we perform in-depth analysis of the items which gender difference in correct response proportion is more than 7% and analyze the cause of gender difference of achievement. This paper provides large valid data about gender difference by the results of NAEA. It can give suggestions with regard to policy making.

기존의 웹 기반 학습 평가 시스템은 학습자의 선택 기회가 없는 상태에서 일방적으로 제시된 문제지로 평가하게 되거나, 문제 은행에서 임의로 추출한 문제도 단순히 무작위로나 난이도만을 고려하여 문제지를 구성하였고, 그 결과에 대한 성취도의 분석도 한 문제지에 대한 정오표 또는 점수로 단순하게 제시하기 때문에 학습자의 지속적인 학습 관리가 이루어지지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 문제유형, 과목 및 단원 난이도, 문항 형태, 문항당 배점, 문항당 배당 시간등의 다양한 정보를 가진 유형별 문제 은행을 구축하였다. 학습자는 마치 문제집을 풀고 싶은 유형의 문제를 선택하듯이 문제 은행에서 문제를 자율적으로 구성하여 평가할 수 있는 유형별 문제지나 대학수학능력시험의 기준에 맞추어 자동 구성되는 종합 문제지로 다양하게 평가할 수 있다. 또한, 한문제지에 대한 결과뿐만 아니라 유형별, 월별 성취도 분석을 통하여 평가한 총점에 대한 획득한 점수의 누적 통계를 그래프로 일목요연하게 보여주어 한 학습자에 대한 지속적인 성취도 분석이 가능하도록 구축하였다.

가상학습 시스템에서의 효율적인 평가를 위해 문제 출제 방법 및 문제의 난이도 재조정에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 온라인상에서의 학습은 학습자 스스로 자신의 학업 성취도에 대한 올바른 진단을 함으로써 다음의 학습 진도 및 방향을 스스로 판단해야 하기 때문에 평가 방법 및 평가 문제가 무엇보다 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 문제 은행에 문제를 등록하는 시점에서 출제자의 주관적인 판단에 의해 부여되는 문제 난이도의 객관성 입증과 학습자의 학업 성취도를 출제 문제에 반영하는 방법으로서 평가 결과에 따른 문제의 난이도 재조정으로 인한 출제 문제의 신뢰성이 아주 중요한 문제라고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 초기 문제 난이도에 대한 객관성을 최대한 높임과 동시에 보다 실질적인 평가를 위한 문제 출제 방법과 보다 신뢰할 수 있는 학업 성취도를 출제 문제에 반영하는 난이도 재조정 방법을 적용함으로써 보다 효율적이고 객관적으로 문제은행의 문제를 관리할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다.
