The purpose of the study is to develop a science writing program for middle school students and to analyze the effects of this program. The program consists of twenty-one 10-minute long sessions in 2 chapters (stimulus and response; the structure and function of plants) from the $2^{nd}$ year middle school textbooks. The team selected themes in science writing that can cultivate multiple facets of creativity in students: flexibility, originality and elaboration. The format of the science writing was diverse. The program was conducted through worksheets, and there was separate section within the worksheet for teacher to give feedback to students. The science writing program with teacher's feedback improved students' scientific creativity(p<.01). It seems like teacher's feedback is critical in checking students' concept and boosting students' creativity. The program is statistically effective in improving students' flexibility(p<.01), however it is not the case for improving on their originality and ability to elaborate(p>.05). We assumed that the relatively extensive portion of the writing was not suitable to improve students' ability to elaborate their ideas further as well as fostering originality. In order to improve the students' creativity and ability to elaborate, there is a need to adjust the amount of science writing, content, time.

Purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of creative science writing for interest of biology and scientific attitude on high school student. Creative science writing is a learning method to enhance comprehension and expression of thinking of science contents related to daily life. 148 students were recruited and divided into two groups, experimental group were experience creative science writing lessons. On the other hand, contrary group were applied interest enhancement lessons excepted creative science writing activity. To investigate the effect of creative science writing, interest check of biology was used, and scientific attitude test was used to understand changes in student's scientific attitude. Experimental group had taught using creative science writing and their awareness of the instruction was analyzed with questionnaire. As a result of this study, the class based on creative science writing was effective in improving high school students' interest in biology and in particular it was helpful in promoting interest in biology and learning of biology. It suggested that the class based on creative scientific writing used a new teaching method unlike existing methods, caused them to have interest in the instruction by making them express their daily life freely not to memorize learning contents, applied learning contents to daily life through many kinds of writings and then enhanced their interest in biology. Indeed, the class based on creative science writing had the positive influence on changes in the scientific attitude of high school students. Since creative science writing is writing one's own idea through extensive thinking based on learning contents, it was effective in arranging the process of thinking and changing their scientific attitude into positive one. Consequently, it was concluded from the above results of the research that the teaching using creative science writing was available as the effective teaching methods to improve high school students' interest in biology and change their scientific attitude into positive one.

정보화시대에 요구하는 인재는 문제를 인식하고 이런 문제를 풀기 위해 다양한 전문가들과 함께 창의적인 사고를 통해 해결책을 제시하는 인물이다. 정보영재교육의 목표 역시 창의적 인재를 기르는 데 있으나, 프로그래밍과 알고리즘 교육은 특정 프로그래밍 언어의 사용법이나 문법 위주의 교육, 정렬 및 탐색과 같은 알고리즘 그 자체에 치중함으로서 이러한 목표에 도달하고 있지 못하다는 지적이 많다. 이에 본 논문에서는 창의적인 알고리즘을 설계하고 개발하는데 필요한 사고력, 즉 사고 과정에 대해 안내하고 생각하는 알고리즘적 사고력을 기르기 위한 방안으로 실생활 주제의 이야기 쓰기를 활용하는 교수 학습 프로그램을 제안하였다. 반성적 사고와 창의성을 기르는 데 효과적인 것으로 알려진 이야기 쓰기 활동에서 출발하여 사건 요소 추출과 시간적 질서 분석하기, 순서도로 알고리즘 표현하기, 동료 학습자와 토의하기 등의 과정을 통해 알고리즘적 사고력을 향상시킬 수 있도록 하였다.

The aim of this study is to develop and suggest a reading strategy to learn for integrating reading and writing. The reading and writing strategy could be divided in directed strategies related to the cognitive process and indirected strategies to carry out the process successfully. Therefore, its strategies are constructed of the indirected strategy corresponding with the instructional design model and the direct strategy containing specific action plans of the model's progressive stages. When considering the reading to learn could be run as a program in the school, in this study, the basic model of the indirected strategy is devised with four steps of 'preparing-designing-implementing-evaluating'. And the implementing stage of the read to learn combining reading and writing is consisted of six steps as 'selecting subjects-considering contents-searching-writing-correcting-publishing'. Also, proper indirected strategies such as graphic organization and checklists are suggested in order to assist reading and writing activities in the implementing stage.

현대사회는 지식정보화 사회로서 인간의 지식을 자원으로 하고 정보통신기술을 접목하여 지식을 체계적이고 유연성 있는 정보로 가공하는 것을 국가 경쟁력의 핵심요소로 사용하고 있다. 그리고 국어과 교육과정는 창의적인 국어사용능력을 배양하고 학습자의 의미 있는 학습을 중요시하며, 실생활과 관련된 교육과정이 되도록 요구하고 있다. 따라서 학습자 주변 및 사회적 현상을 다양한 국어 상황에 활용하여 비판적으로 이해하고, 창의적으로 표현하도록 하는 NIE를 학습에 활용하고자 하였다. 나아가 인터넷이 보편화 되어 있는 환경과 정보통신기술의 함양 및 활용을 통한 e-NIE(인터넷을 통한 신문활용학습)를 국어과에 적용하여 읽기 쓰기 능력에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다.

일기 쓰기는 예나 지금이나 자기 반성, 글짓기 능력 향상, 인성 교육, 사고력과 창의성 신장 등 여러 측면에서 매우 중요하계 여겨져 왔다. 그러나 한정된 시간과 공간 안에서 교사가 일기 쓰기 지도를 제대로 하기는 매우 힘들다. 따라서 상호작용이 가능한 웹의 특성을 살린 일기 쓰기 교육 시스템을 설계함으로써 교사들의 일기 쓰기 지도에 대한 부담을 덜고 학생들에 대한 지속적인 일기 쓰기 지도도 가능할 것이다.

This study was conducted among 52 elementary pre service teachers not majoring in the natural sciences, who were taking Earth Science as an elective course at the University of Education located in central Korea. These elementary pre service teachers participated in story writing on the subject of earth system cycles over eight occasions. Changes in their understanding of the Earth's cycles were verified by comparing mind mapping exercises performed before and after the story writing. Afterwards, 43 out of the 52 subjects volunteered for structured interviews, in which they performed story-telling exercises. This study presents examples of story analysis that uses a variation of the wheel-shaped story map, and proposes story mapping as a preferred method of analysis. Before and after creative story writing activities, pre service teachers' mind mapping is analyzed to study possible positive changes. This study identified a gap between the instructional contents of the Earth system unit included in the 7th and current revised school curriculums on the one hand, and the conceptions expressed by the pre service teachers who studied these contents on the other.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a writing program and the type of picture book used on the early stages of writing and creative writing in young children. The different stages of writing amongst young children was divided into an early stage of writing for pre-schoolers and creative writing for spontaneous expression and problem solving. The subjects comprised 36 children aged 5 from a child daycare center in Seoul. Among the KISE-BAAT and Creative tests, the writing test and creative writing test were used. The early stage of writing and creative writing were both analyzed by means of both ANCOVA and T-test. Firstly, in the subscale of the early stage of writing(ability to mark, use vocabulary, create sentences and text construction), the early stage writing of the experiment group scored higher than that of the comparison group. Secondly, in terms of the type of picture books, the group using informational picture books had greater effects on the early stage of writing than the group using narrative picture books. Thirdly, the writing program itself had a positive effect on creative writing. In the subscale of creative writing (fluency, flexibility, novelty), the group using informational picture books made greater progress in fluency and novelty than the group using narrative picture books.
