This study was to analyze the subject objectives of Middle school 7th grade Science textbooks based on the Korean 7th curriculum by using Klopfer’s taxonomic system and find out how much compatible they were with the requiring objectives of the curriculum. Particularly, this study makes educational objectives for textbooks coherent wit the requiring objectives of the curriculum, through the analysing the problems. The results are follows. The Middle school science educational objective of the 7th curriculum sets up almost of the objectives through all of the domains of the Klopfer’s taxonomy system, except the operational function (Category G.0), and emphasizes on emotionable domain (Category $H.0\~I.0$) more. However, comparing with an encouragement objective rate of NSTA, Middle school Science textbooks based on the 7th curriculum were published putting more importance in a cognitive domain, and the intention objective (Category I.0) was not mentioned.

The 7th science curriculum has the characteristics of humanistic philosophy of education. The humanistic curriculum emphasized learner-centered education, which claims to stand for learners' experiences. This study searched for the significances of the 7th science curriculum, and discussed its tasks and perspectives based on the backgrounds, characteristics, and objectives mentioned in the history of reforming science curriculum. The 7th science curriculum emphasizes learners' experiences and everyday life materials are favored in teaching-learning activities. For the desirable effects related to this commitment, pre-service and in-service training programs are required about the social elements in the nature of science, and everyday life contexts should be examined in views of educational and cognitive perspectives, so the contextual differences between science and everyday life should be clarified.

The purpose of this study was to find out the operational status for the in-depth and supplementary class of middle school described in the 7th national science curriculum. To do this 455 students of 8th grade and 71 science teachers are administered questionaries which were developed to ask about whether or not execute the in-depth and supplementary class, the frequency of the execution, the way of forming groups and the contents of teaching etc.. The operation of the in-depth and supplementary class at middle school were prevented by following factors such as too many class time of teachers, overpopulation in class, insufficiency teaching materials and so on. Therefore, to solve these problems, various approaches should be adapted such as effective teaching method, teacher training program, specialized classroom, independent teaching on the part of teacher and so on.

Recent studies have shown that Korea has achieved similar or better environments for computer education in hardware perspective. However, in software perspective, many problems have been reported. We tried to suggest more effective ways of computer education based on the results from comparative study on computer education in Korea with respect to technology standards of USA.

The basic tenet of science education by the 7th national curriculum for middle school students is teaching by learner's academic levels. It is a kind of new approach to both of teachers and students, but there has been little preparation in school fields for the new approach. Therefore, this study reviewed the characteristics and constraints of the approach, and suggested the types of learning methods for the approach. And then this study explored the guidelines for writing a lesson plan for the science education by the 7th national curriculum. Specifically, this study presented an example of lesson plan for a unit of middle school chemistry.

The aims of this research were to analyze and compare verbs in the contents of the 7th, 2007, and 2009 revised national curriculum for elementary and middle school science. After the investigation of 1383 verbs in description of achievement standards and inquiry, we found that 'to know'(15.0 %) in elementary school and 'to understand'(24.2 %) in middle school were the most frequently used ones, totally in these three curriculums. In the 7th national curriculum, frequently used verbs in elementary school were ones related with inquiry such as observation, investigation and so on though 'to understand' had the most common verbs. Secondly, 'to explain' ranked top among verbs in the 2007 revised national curriculum. It showed some possibility of influences of the discussion-oriented situation at that time. Finally, however, in 2009 revised national curriculum, 'to know' and 'to understand' occupied the first and second portion of the verb distribution. In addition, 'to understand' and 'to observe' were used evenly through three curriculums but the portions of 'to know' increased through curriculum revisions. Some implications and discussions were also added with suggestions for further researches.

The purposes of this study are to analyze the elementary school science textbooks (chemistry part) developed under the 7th national curriculum and to compare with those under the 6th national curriculum. The lesson hour, the number of pages, contents at each grade, deleted or newly introduced contents were analyzed. Some features of the 'Separation of mixtures' chapter were also analyzed. Educational implications were discussed in the aspect of whether the intention of revised curriculum was reflected, especially whether the amount of teaming was decreased.

자기 주위의 상황과 그 물체에 대한 직감(intutive feeling)을 뜻하는 공간감각은 수학교육의 기본적인 구성요소로서, 수학과 과학에서 다른 영역을 공부하기 위한 도구로 사용될 수 있고, 주위의 구조와 대칭성을 볼 수 있게 도우며, 모든 수학에서 창의적 사고를 지원한다. 우리나라에서도 2000학년도부터 연차적으로 실시되는 제 7차 수학과 교육과정의 도형여역에 ‘공간감각 기르기’를 신설하여 그 중요성을 강조하였다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 미국의 공간감각 지도의 변천과 우리나라 제 7차 교육과정의 공간감각 영역의 학습 내용을 비교, 우리나라 7차 교육과정의 공간감각영역의 학습내용을 살피고, 현행 7차 교육과정에 의거 초등학교 2학년의 공간감각 영역의 교수 ${\cdot}$ 학습과정을 실제 적용, 이후 아동의 학습 추이를 살펴봄으로써, 앞으로 우리나라 초등학교 아동의 공간감각 형성을 위한 여러 가지 지도방법을 제시하고자 한다. 결론 및 제언에서는 이러한 수업으로 얻어진 결과를 토대로 하여 제 7차 교육과정에서 공간감각 영역의 적용에 대한 시사점을 몇 가지 기술하였다.

It has been an important task that the decreased quantities of science lessons must blend with the 7th science curriculum. This study analysed the 6th and 7th science curriculum contents, and found the perspective and the problems in relation to the decreased lessons in the 7th science curriculum. The results found in the analysis of the science content system in the curriculum are as follows: first, the new science themes in the 7th content system were those appeared in the sub-themes in the 6th curriculum, so substantially scientific concepts didn't increase in the 7th. Second, the number of the terms which restricts the conceptual and contextual region of the major science themes considerably increased in the 7th curriculum. Third, Surface Lesson Quantities(SLQ), which were defined as the counted lesson number considering the quantities of science themes and the lesson decreasing rate 30% of the whole school curriculum, were inferred as 38.5% of the 6th lesson quantities. And the results found in the analysis of the sub-themes inferred from the sentences describing the science themes in each grade are as follows: Essential Lesson Quantities (ELQ), which were defined based on the sub-themes, were more than SLQ in almost themes. But, in case of the themes, 'weather' and 'ground', SLQ were much more than ELQ. The results of this study shows that it will not easy to solve the task, the decreasing lessons and phenomena-centered approach in constructing the science teaching content according to the 7th science curriculum.
