In this study, an evaluation system for a water resources technology research and development project, which is one of the 21C frontier R&D programs sponsored by Korea Ministry of Science and Technology, is proposed. The purpose of this paper is to contribute in the implementation of an efficient R&D policy scheme and in the successful commercialization and diffusion of water resources technologies through proper evaluation of water resources technology R&D projects. The evaluation system is consisted of two levels of evaluation categories and attributes to reflect qualitative evaluation as well as quantitative evaluation of the water resources technology development. The weights of 4 evaluation categories and 26 attributes are calculated by using Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP). To demonstrate the evaluation system, a numerical example of water resources technology evaluation is presented.

Growing in its size, the contents of the teaching-learning programs for mathematically gifted children from A program in Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education were examined in terms of the individual subjects provided through the courses of gifted education programs, and it was evaluated based on the revised version of the existing module. As a result, the educational objectives of teaching-learning program were clear, differentiated and obtainable. Among the program, the advanced parts were more than the selective parts, which mainly consisted of numbers and calculation, shapes, regularity and problem solving parts and had latest contents of research in balance. Additionally, every part of the program needs mathematical and creative thinking and approach and has proper evaluation index for problem solving. The presented materials in the programs are specific and appropriate, though some of them did not suggest the evaluation index for cultivating personality and value clearly and the reference books. The teaching-learning programs were focusing on problem-based learning and cooperative learning and using performance assessment for evaluation.

This study analyzes the items of acid base and redox unit in the middle school science textbook based on the 2009 revised science curriculum using Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives. As a result of the analysis, the elements of knowledge area appeared the most in textbook items of all publishing companies, and those elements were less in order of understanding, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation. And the sub-domain of cognitive domains were not evenly distributed by the publisher. Therefore, schools need to refer to the evaluation items of the textbooks of various publishing companies and use them in class.

The purpose of this study is developed the Item Feature Analysis (IFA) frameworks for curriculum-based assessments, focusing on Math competency and representation in secondary schools and implemented the IFA in National Assessment of Educational Achievement. To conduct the study, previous studies were analyzed, and feasibility studies were conducted twice. As a result of the study, we structured the IFA framework based on the 2015 revised mathematics curriculum in Korea and developed a method to analyze the characteristics of the math items. The results of structuring the framework for math included two categories: math competency in the content aspects, and representation type in the formal aspects. Specifically, 12 features of math competency and 8 features of representation type were identified, and an item feature analysis framework composed of these features was developed. The math competency was developed based on the subject competency of 2015 national curriculum. Math assessments in high schools, which have been changed to the competency-based assessments, had more frequency of the feature of math competency compared to middle schools. In this study, implemented the IFA in National Assessment of Educational Achievement and explored the way of ensuring the validity. These have been proved as critical applications for ensuring the validity of curriculum-based student assessment as well as building a tool for assessment.

This research is a case study in which teachers tried to improve classes through online class analysis and self-evaluation in elementary school mathematics classes using a checklist of class reflection based on fair access, autonomy, initiative, and evaluation areas in the TRU analysis framework of Schoenfeld (2016). As a result, it was confirmed that the teacher's fair participation, student autonomy, initiative, feedback, and evaluation areas improved teaching methods during the short time. Therefore, if you want to improve classes in relatively short period of time, you can see the effect of some improvement only by self-evaluation. However, continuous improvement of teaching methods require the help of a teacher communities including experts or critical colleagues, and a longer-term case study.

Argumentation is a social and collaborative dialogic process. A large number of researchers have focused on analyzing the structure of students' argumentation occurring in the scientific inquiry context, using the Toulmin's model of argument. Since SSI dialogic argumentation often presents distinctive features (e.g. interdisciplinary, controversial, value-laden, etc.), Toulmin's model would not fit into the context. Therefore, we attempted to develop an analytical framework for SSI dialogic argumentation by addressing the concepts of 'discourse clusters' and 'discourse schemes.' Discourse clusters indicated a series of utterances created for a similar dialogical purpose in the SSI contexts. Discourse schemes denoted meaningful discourse units that well represented the features of SSI reasoning. In this study, we presented six types of discourse clusters and 19 discourse schemes. We applied the framework to the data of students' group discourse on SSIs (e.g. euthanasia, nuclear energy, etc.) in order to verify its validity and applicability. The results indicate that the framework well explained the overall flow, dynamics, and features of students' discourse on SSI.

The purpose of this study was to develop and apply a framework for progression in the professional development and learning of secondary science teachers' teaching practice. The progression in the professional development was modified Pilhee Woo's framework(2010), and in the learning was developed by the researchers. The former included 6 elements and 36 aspects. The progression of each aspect was composed of five level criteria. The content validity is 96.4% and the reliability is .96. The latter was composed of another five level criteria. The content validity is 96.0% and the reliability is .95. Internet-online test and the questionnaire were administered to 203 secondary science teachers who were selected by convenience sampling. The mean level of the progression in the professional development and learning were 2.21 and 2.95. ANOVA, t-test and correlation analysis were conducted to compare differences by the characteristics of teachers. The level of the progression in the professional development and learning was significant difference according to almost all of teachers' characteristics. The level of the progression in the professional development was significantly correlated with the level of the progression in the learning.
