With increasing interest on scientists and the influence of science technology, their role in the modem society has been expanding. Scientists work in the laboratory as researchers, work in their expertise area as professionals, and work socially as social agents. Scientists are responsible to keep up the regulations during the research, and also are responsible for the results of the research. Therefore, there is a need of contemplation in terms of what their identity is and what their responsibilities are. Despite of this need, there hasn't been much discussion or education on the scientists social role or responsibilities as of now. This study purported to contemplate on the scientists role and responsibility, its qualification, and what it means to be a scientist as a social agent. Also the study further explored the efficient educational strategies and methods relevant to the contemplated issues.

과학상은 과학자 사회를 유지하는 중요한 기제인 보상체계의 한 요소로 과학사회학에서 많은 연구가 이루어졌다. 전통적으로 보상의 기능은 과학적 업적에 대한 인정의 배분으로 간주되었다. 그러나 머튼 이후 여러 학자들은 과학상을 비롯한 보상이 당대의 인지적 규범에 순응하게 만드는 사회적 통제의 과정이기도 하다는 주장을 제기했다. 이 논문은 우리나라 과학상의 역사적 변천과정과 그 특성에 대한 분석을 통해 과학상이 인정의 적절한 배분으로 과학자 사회 내에서 작동했는지 살펴본다. 분석을 통해 드러난 우리나라 과학상의 특성은 다음과 같이 요약된다. 첫째, 우리나라 과학상은 정부에 의해 주도되었고, 상의 가시성의 원천은 정부 또는 국가에서 나온다. 둘째, 과학상은 과학자 사회 내부의 인정 배분이라는 전통적 기능보다 정부의 정책 목표달성을 위한 통제 방식으로 기능하는 경향이 있다. 셋째, 최근 과학상은 연구비와 결합되면서 과학엘리트를 형성하고 그 구조를 강화시키는 하나의 통로가 되고 있다.

The formation of early korean scientific community is a dynamic process of korean modern history in which colonialization, liberation, United States Army Military Government and Korean War is included. Particularly, scientist's crossing over the border into north korea and south korea have profound effect on the early stage of our scientific community. This period is so important to understand the nature of korean scientific community that we need to re-interpret the role of 'ideology' in the development of scientific community. On the other hand, war is a important element in our formation of the image of the science. This study purported to interpret the problem of political ideology, it's role in the formation of early scientific society, it's implication on our idea of science positively. Also the study is a an attempt to re-construct the scientist's struggle(1945-1950) to demarcate new science from old, colonial science.

While Science tries to be far from Society, it actually does yearn for the trust from Society, on the other side. Its efforts getting back the trust has been witnessed with its fast evolution, consistent distrust from Society and Scientists' accountability with investment of public fund. Furthermore, many scholars have argued that there is the need to integrate science and society. In this regards, this paper explores how to integrate both spheres by participatory evaluation. To identify how the participatory evaluation works and should be, three main issues are mentioned. One is about evaluation methods; Objective-oriented and Behaviour aspects. Second is about prerequisite factors; sharing scientific language and changed recognition between civil society and scientists. Third is about challenge to be tackled; epistemological gap among evaluators and complex index. Under these issues, this paper sets out that the participatory evaluation should adopt the appropriate evaluation methodology. Last but not least, self-recognition and motivation by evaluators themselves are important factors, along with societal system which can take participatory evaluation.

This study posits that a more equitable science education is possible through analyzing the sociocultural mechanisms that operate in the participation and marginalization in science learning process, and therefore aims to review research trends in this area of science education. To do so, the study analyzed 85 articles that adopted a sociocultural approach to science learning identity in major international journals. The review was organized into 1) overall trends such as the number of articles by year, country, learner's sociocultural background, research context and research methods, and 2) a more in-depth analysis of the main research problems and conceptual frameworks along with concrete research examples. The study found that the current research works in this area have contributed to broadening the idea of legitimate learners in science education by considering learners' various sociocultural identities as the positive resource for learning based on the premise that science learning occurs as identity formation through participating communities of practice, and critiquing the culture or discourses that oppress such identity formation. The studies in this area also brought up the equity issue in science education in ways which embrace various learners that had been marginalized in the traditional science class and facilitate their agency. Based on these findings, the study made a case for analyzing various sociocultural mechanisms relating to the participation and marginalization in science learning to realize 'science education for all Koreans' and proposed future research direction.

Korea's S&T communities were expanded rapidly according to the development of science-based industry. But their economic positions is low despite of their social importance. It's one of the reasons why Korean teenagers avoid S&T. Today, the global economy is relying on science and technology. Human Resource of Science and Technology is a important factor of national development. Scientific technologists' community should find their suitable social positions. The purpose of this study is to identify various issues contributing to the current issues of scientific technologists society not wanting to social activities and further explore various strategies to encourage their higher activities in the society and economy area. This result is beginning stage and has lot of things to be settled. Also presents initiative for further development of scientific technologists society. Based on information and learning that are extracted from the attempts found in several cases of scientific technologists society over the world, the initiatives would pave the way for our scientific technologists society.

고도산업사회에서 전문가의 역할은 절대적이며 그 사회의 주체가 되어야 한다. 기술자는 자긍심을 갖고 현실에 참여해야 하며 협력하는 사회의 기초적인 역할을 감당해야 한다. 협력의 기초는 정직성과 근면성 그리고 신뢰성이라 할 수 있다.
