The purpose of this study was to investigate factors in school science influencing students' attitudes toward science. In order to achieve the purpose, a total of 1,002 students at 5th, 7th, and 10th grade levels was sampled and surveys were carried out to examine attitudes toward science and reasons that students liked and disliked science. According to the results, male students liked science more than female students did at all grade levels and 10th graders liked science less than 5th and 7th graders did. The main reason that students liked science was experiments. And the main reason that students disliked science was science teaching methods including science activities, instructional materials, science textbooks and science teachers. Among the reasons that students liked science, factors that affected attitudes toward science were contents and characteristics of science subjects and experiments. Among the reasons that students disliked science, factors that affected attitudes toward science were experiments and science teaching methods. The results suggest that it is desirable to apply appropriate methods according to students' interests in science to develop positive attitudes toward science effectively.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of using the play with multiplication activities based on Skemp's theory for mathematics achievements and attitudes toward mathematics of elementary school students. For this study, we rearranged Skemp's play activities according to our curriculum in the area of multiplication and applied them to the 2nd grade classes of an elementary school. The plays with multiplication activities were applied to the experimental group while traditional teaching method was used with the current mathematics textbook for the comparative group. We obtained the following conclusions: First, in terms of mathematics achievement, the experimental group who used the plays with multiplication activities based on Skemp's theory didn't show significant difference with the comparative group. Second, it proved that the plays with multiplication activities based on Skemp's theory was more effective for lower level of students than the higher level of students. Third, the plays with multiplication activities based on Skemp's theory have positive effects on improving students' attitudes toward mathematics. We need to use the plays with multiplication activities based on Skemp's theory in the classrooms and find problems with the applying the activities. In addition, we need to develop a more various activities based on Skemp's theory for a better teaching.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of flipped learning strategy, which is an online offline convergence learning strategy becoming a hot issue, on students' learning styles..Ultimately, the goal is to analyze the academic achievements and learning attitudes by applying the flipped learning strategy considering the preferred learning styles of Korean students. By assuming that Korean students are accustomed to traditional lecture class, it is assumed that the students would have difficulty in applying the flipped learning strategy which involves information gathering and problem solving through discussion. In order to analyze whether the application of flipped learning strategy is effective, it is necessary to identify students' preferred learning style and to develop appropriate teaching strategies accordingly.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of peer mentor on academic achievement of mentee and views on nature of science. The experimental group was consisted of 20 mentor students, formed as a high level being less than 20% of achievement test, and 20 mentee, low level less than 15% of that. The mentoring activities were conducted 23 times for 8 weeks and progressed for 15~30 minutes after the teacher's main classes. During the mentoring activity, studying materials were provided to students and mentees asked to mentors for the parts which were difficult to understand among the contents of classes and got replies by arranging studying materials. As the results of this study, First, peer mentoring activity was shown statistically meaningful effects and improved the academic achievement in mentee's group than traditional classes (p<.01). But, there was no meaningful effects on mentor's achievement (p>.05). Second, the students who took part in the peer mentoring activity said that it was a good chance to have a close relationship between mentors and mentees. Also, the science recognition of the students were changed positively even though the science is hard and difficult to memorize, but interesting subject included the experiments. Third, the satisfaction of the peer mentoring activity is high both mentors and mentees (p<.01). Fourth, according to mentees' positive attitude, and as the level of closeness is higher, the academic achievement was increased. Based on this study, if teachers organize mentoring team effectively according to their closeness, one can expect the positive change of recognition on science as well as academic achievement of mentees.

The purpose of this study is to systemize volunteer program for the people with chronic mental health problems to participate in helping the community as service providers not receivers, and then to examine empowerment effects of this volunteer program. The distinctive feature of this program was to volunteer the mental ill to help other people. Therefore, this volunteer program had specially strengthened preliminary stage which make not only the mental ill be ready to work but also the community to use them as volunteer, and to invite general citizen of the community as co-volunteers. The result showed this program empowered the mental disorders to have more positive self-concept. It revealed that co-volunteer's attitude toward the mental disorders was changed positively through this program, also. These results told us not only the chronic mental ill could be volunteers helping others using their abilities, but also this activity would make their self-image better and citizen's perception toward mental disorder less prejudiced. The volunteer program presented in this paper was expected to be useful for their empowerment and social integration.

수학적으로 생각하고 배우는 과정에서 의사소통의 역할은 지나치게 간과되었다(Greenes, & Schulman, 1996). NCTM에서 수학적 의사소통을 강조하고 있으나, 교실 수업 여건상 충분한 의사소통 경험을 가지기 어렵다. 그리고, 정보화 시대를 맞아, 교육에서도 ICT활용 교육이 일정 수준이상으로 의무화되었다. 또한, 인터넷을 활용한 웹기반교육이 확산됨에 따라, 효과적인 수학적 의사소통 방법이 요구된다. 따라서, ICT활용 수업 활동의 한 유형으로 웹토론을 고찰하고, 실시간 채팅 중심의 웹토론이 학생들의 수학 학습 과정에 관련된 태도에 영향을 주는지를 살펴보아야 한다. 그 결과, 즉각적인 상호작용이 이루어지는 실시간 웹토론이 학생들의 인터넷을 활용한 수학에 대한 태도 영역 중 학습동기 요인에 가장 효과적이었다. 또한, 실시간 토론을 경험한 학생들의 만족도는 매우 긍정적임을 실험을 통하여 확인할 수 있었다.

정보사회로의 급격한 변화와 소비자들의 편리함에 대한 욕구의 증가로 최근 홈쇼핑은 새로운 유통환경을 창조하며 기업의 마케팅 활동과 소비자의 소비 구매 행태를 크게 변화시키고 있다. 이는 쌍방적 구조로 이루어져 있는 전형적인 직접마케팅 형태 중 하나로 일반 유통 구조와는 색다른 촉진 기법을 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 홈쇼핑의 대표적인 촉진기법 중 하나인 희소성 메시지의 광고효과를 살펴보는 바, 각각의 고/저관여 제품에 있어 두 유형의 희소성 메세지(주문 가능한 제품의 수량을 제한하는 주장, 제품의 주문 가능한 시간을 제한하는 주장)와 희소성 메세지가 포함되지 않은 광고 사이에 광고 효과에 차이가 있는지 비교 분석함으로 희소성 메시지의 광고효과를 살펴보고자 하였다. 카탈로그를 통한 실험 연구 결과, 저관여제품이나 고관여제품 모두에서 시간을 한정하거나 수량을 한정하는 희소성 메세지와 비희소성 메세지간에 소비자의 광고에 대한 태도나 광고상표에 대한 태도 및 구매의도에 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 단지 시간을 한정하는 희소성 메시지는 유의한 차이를 보였으나 그 차이 역시 미미하였다. 이로써 카탈로그에서는 고관여제품, 저관여제품 모두에서 희소성 메세지의 광고 효과를 확인할 수 없었다. 따라서 카탈로그에서 희소성 메시지는 소비자에게 영향을 미칠만한 광고효과를 창출하지 못하므로 광고 효과를 강화시키는데는 적합한 수단이라고 볼 수 없으며, 희소성 메세지를 활용하는 것은 무의미함을 알 수 있었다. 저관여제품에서 희소성 메시지의 효과가 입증되지 못한 이유는 실험 매체로 이용한 카탈로그 자체가 Krugman(1965)이 주장한 저관여 정보처리 과정을 거치는 저관여 매체이기 때문이라 추측된다. 그리고 고관여 제품의 경우 시간을 한정하거나 수량을 한정하는 희소성 메시지의 비효과성이 입증된 것은 정교화 가능성 모델(ELM)에서 주장되는 연구와 일치함을 의미한다.
