The purpose of this study is to investigate effective teaching and learning method for teaching decision-making on Socio-Scientific-Issues(SSI) in science classroom. So we carried out new teaching and learning trial for decision-making about Global Warming issues. Our new trial focused on self-directed and cooperative learning in decision-making about SSI. And our participants were science gifted or science high-achieved students in middle school. We analysed students' written decision-making of the last process in our new trial. We can find our instruction made progress in informed decision-making, structure of argumentation, reflective thinking stage, using the scientific information and understanding of the nature of science. As a result, self-directed and cooperative learning in decision-making on SSI leads students to the meaningful decision-making scientifically.

현대 사회를 살아가는 교양을 갖춘 시민과 지혜로운 소비자가 되기 위해서 통계적 지식 및 확률적 지식은 필수적인 능력으로 간주된다. 자료 주도적 확률과 통계의 학습이란 학생들이 스스로 자료를 수집하고, 조직하고, 표현하고, 해석하는 직접적인 활동을 통해 확률과 통계의 개념, 원리의 터득은 물론 추론과 의사소통능력, 문제해결력 등을 기를 수 있는 학습형태로서, 이런 학습을 완수한 학생들은 수학의 유용성 및 실생활과의 연결성을 더 잘 이해할 수 있게 된다. 따라서, 모든 확률과 통계 수업에서는 실제자료를 학생들이 직접 다루는 활동이 수행되어야 하며, 이를 위한 테크놀로지의 적절한 사용이 병행되어야 한다. 이 글에서는 이러한 자료 주도적 확률과 통계의 학습의 예와 그에 병행되는 그래픽 계산기의 활용 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

교수-학습 방법 발전이 필요하다는 논리와 관련해서 선진국들의 교육 추세를 눈여겨볼 필요가 있다. 첫째, 교육이라는 행위가 교사가 주도하는 교수(teaching, instruction)로부터 학생이 주도하는 학습 (learning)으로 바뀌어 가는 추세이고, 둘째, 학습에 있어서 자극-반응 모델에 기초한 반응에는 강조를 두지 않고 인지(cognition), 즉 지각과 사고를 강조하고 있는 추세이며, 셋째, 따라서 학생이 학습을 제대로 해 가는 데 필요한 여러 가지 방략(strategy), 가령 구성적 방략이나, 비고츠키 모델 등이 개발되거나 원용되고 때로는 기존 방략들(탐구적 방법, 문제해결 방법 등)이 재 강조되면서, 그 방략들이 학생들에게 유효하도록 가르쳐 지고 있는 실정이다.(중략)

It is important that students have the ability to prepare, practice, and reflect their mathematics learning. This study defines the self-directed learning ability based on Vygotsky. We consider the components of self-directed learning in aspects of motivation, learning strategy, and metacognition, and analyse 10 factors of self-directed learning ability Thus we develop the self-directed mathematics learning test, which is tested by factor analysis.

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between parental attitudes, teachers' autonomy support as perceived by high school students, and the self-directed learning abilities of high school students. A total of 341 high school students from South Korea participated in the study. A survey instrument was used to measure parental attitudes, teacher autonomy support, and students' self-directed learning ability. The results of the study are as follows. First, the rearing attitudes of parents were perceived by the participants as oriented more toward being attainable and relatively less self-directed. There were no significant differences between male and female students, though male students were more likely to perceive their parents' attitudes as more attainable-oriented. The results also show that, in terms of self-directed learning skills among high school students, the more goal-oriented, compassionate, and autonomous the parental attitudes are, the likelier are students to have developed self-directed learning skills. Second, the male students were more aware of the autonomy support of teachers than were the female students. This shows that the results have significant predictive power over the self-directed learning ability among high school students. Accordingly, the perception of autonomy support by teachers affects the development of self-directed learning among students. We can therefore conclude that self-directed learning skills develop most effectively in students who are supported by their teachers.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of learners' self-motivational attitudes, use of instructional function, and understanding of successful learning on achievement in college e-learning classes. The study analyzed 297 college students' questionnaire about their internet learning attitudes based on how they understand e-learning and use various internet functions for their learning achievement. After factor analyses, the results found that there were three major factors such as self-motivational attitude, use of instructional function, and understanding of successful learning out of 15 survey items. Multiple regression showed that the self-motivational factor affects the learning achievement with overall three factors analyses. This result indicates that college e-learning classes should focus on the analysis of learners' self-motivational issues in college e-learning classes. This study suggest that the relationship between learners' e-learning experience and learning achievement should be examined in the near future to show how it affects on learners e-learning class management and their achievement.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of awareness and current performance level of self-directed learning (SDL) in nursing students. The core concepts were defined and a rubric was developed through literature review. It was applied later to subjects and the results were analyzed. According to the results, there were significant differences between the current performance level and the awareness level of SDL in all items. Students who chose nursing as a major due to their high school/SAT grades showed lower current performance level than others. There were insignificant differences in the current performance level influencing the next grade. The level of awareness showed insignificant differences according to the reason for selecting nursing as a major, satisfaction on major, and grade point average (GPA). In conclusion, there was a discrepancy between the level of awareness and the current performance level of SDL of nursing students, which indicates that they were aware of the necessity of SDL, but did not actually perform it. Nursing educators should seek for strategies that can improve SDL ability of their students as well as to better grasp the level of the SDL of their student and the current performance level of SDL to apply them to the instructional design.

This descriptive study was conducted to examine the factors affecting core competency, learner motivation, and learner satisfaction of nursing students and to develop effective teaching methods. The subjects of this study were 134 nursing students. The core competencies of nursing students were higher in 3rd grade than in 2nd grade, and the core competency, motivation, and learner satisfaction of the nursing students were higher than those of below average students. The explanatory power of a core competency model constructed using the self-directed learning readiness, teacher-student interaction, and academic achievement was 45.1%. Additionally, the explanatory power of a learner motivation model based on self-directed learning readiness, teacher-student interaction, academic achievement, and learner motivation was 47.5%, while that of a learner satisfaction model constructed using the teacher-student interaction and learner motivation was 43.4%. In conclusion, it is necessary to improve teacher-student interaction and self-directed learning readiness to increase core competency and learner motivation. To increase learner satisfaction, it is necessary to intervene to encourage learner motivation and to make the teaching-student interaction efficient.

This study aimed to explore the affective characteristics of primary and middle school students in mathematics and to analyze the relationship between the affective characteristics and initiative in mathematics learning. For the purpose of this study, a survey was conducted for students in a primary and a middle school in Incheon area. The questionnaires using in this study consisted of five affective domains of interest, self-efficacy, value, self-regulation, and mathematics anxiety. The results of this study showed that the participant students' affective characteristics tended to be decreased by grades. Moreover, the gender differences were increase as the participant students grew older. Students who take the initiative in mathematics learning showed better affective characteristics in general than students who depends on other assistants.
