This study analyzed the academic achievements on above-level testing of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and English in newly entering students of science specialized high schools. It can be expected that newly students of science high specialized schools have reached ceiling level in the middle school mathematics and science academic scores. Above-level testing(or off-level testing) is a test tool used to evaluate student's ability which are above-grade level. In this study, above-level testing tools were used to develop the same type examination paper of the 2013 Korean College Scholastic Ability Test(CSAT) in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and English. The conclusions of this study were as follow: First, the academic achievement level of science specialized high school freshmen were higher the average level of general high school senior because that over 50% of them are within the 5 grade of CSAT in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. In English, 19.3% science specialized high school freshmen have reached within the 5 grade of CSAT. Second, as a result of examining characteristics of academic achievement with respect to units of subjects, in mathematics, it was showed that the academic achievement of 'continuity and limit of a function' unit was higher, 'statistics' unit was lower. In physics, the academic achievement of 'Electricity and Magnetism' unit was higher, 'Waves and particles' unit was lower. In chemistry, the academic achievement of 'compounds in life' unit was higher, 'Air' unit was lower. In English, the academic achievement of 'practical sentence' of reading area was higher, 'Sentence' of writing area was lower. In conclusion, above-level testing provided a good strategy for identifying and determining appropriate programming interventions for gifted students who are two or more grade levels above their age-mates in achievements, aptitude, or ability.

Purpose: This study was conducted to characterize the influence of achievement motivation and the parent-child relationship on ego identity in Korean nursing students. Methods: The participants were 217 Korean nursing students in the first and fourth year of university. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires composed of items assessing ego identity, achievement motivation, the parent-child relationship, and demographic characteristics. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance, the $x^2$ test, and multinomial logistic regression analysis. Results: Ego identity was related to achievement motivation; moreover, the achievement motivation of students with moratorium and achieved identity status was significantly higher than that of students with low-profile moratorium and diffused identity statuses. Ego identity was not related to the mother-child relationship, but the father-child relationship of students in foreclosure was significantly higher than that of students with diffused identity status. The factors influencing achieved identity compared to diffused identity were achievement motivation, year in school, satisfaction with school, and having religious beliefs. Conclusion: These findings indicate that nursing students' ego identity attainment was more influenced by achievement motivation than by the parent-child relationship. It emphasizes that highly motivated students can develop their own identities regardless of the parent-child relationship.

The effects of education utilizing history of science on science achievement and attitudes of the ninth grade students were investigated according to their achievement level, along with the development of teaching and ;earning materials. A total of 144 ninth grade students were divided into the experiment and control group. Instructing students using history of science was performed in the experiment group, while conventional instruction was used in the control group. The scores of both pre-test and post-test were estimated by ANCOVA. Instructions applying history of science were more effective in increasing the students' science achievement and attitude than conventional instructions. In particular, the former enhanced the achievements of the upper-level students, more than it did for the middle and lower-level students. In addition, using history of science showed a better effect on higher and middle-level students, in improving their attitudes toward science, than it did for lower-level students. This study suggests that the instruction utilizing history of science should be designed based on the students' achievement level, and that various teaching and learning materials related to the instruction were helpful.

The purpose of this study was to identify distinctive achievement goal patterns of students and examine their influence on learning strategies (deep/surface) and science achievement. Cluster analysis procedure was performed to classify students on the basis of task, performance, and performance-avoidance goal scores. The results produced 3 clusters of students with different achievement goal patterns: high task goal (cluster 1), high task-high performance goal (cluster 2), and low task-low performance goal (cluster 3). One-way ANOVA results revealed that the scores of cluster 2 were significantly higher than those of clusters 1 and 3 in deep learning strategy. The science achievement test scores of clusters 1 and 2 were higher than those of cluster 3. Looking at surface learning strategy, however, the test scores of cluster 3 were significantly higher than those of clusters 1 and 2. The educational implications of these findings are discussed.
