This study was performed to determine appropriate teaching-learning and evaluation methods for Environmental Studies. To promote the relevance of our study to the needs of the schools and concerned educational communities of environmental education, we reviewed related literature, conducted questionnaire surveys, interviewed related teachers and administrator, held meetings with experts, and field-tested our findings. For selecting and developing teaching-learning methods of Environmental Studies, findings of educational research in general are considered. moreover, principles of environmental education, general aim of environmental education, orientations of environmental education, and developmental stages of middle school students in educational psychology were attended. In addition, relevance to the purpose of the Environmental Studies curriculum, appropriateness for value inquiry as well as knowledge inquiry, small group centered class organization, social interaction centered teaching-learning process, regional environmental situation, significance of personal environment, evaluation methods of Environmental Studies, multi- and inter-disciplinary contents of the Environmental Studies textbook, suitability to the evaluation methods of Environmental Studies, and emphasis on the social interaction in teaching-learning process were regarded. It was learned the Environmental Studies can be taught most effectively in via of holding discussion sessions, conducting actual investigation, doing experiment-practice, doing games and plate, role-playing and carrying out simulation activities, and doing inquiry. These teaching-learning methods were field-tested and proved appropriate methods for the subject. For selecting and developing evaluation method of Environmental Studies, such principles and characteristics of Environmental Studies as objective domains stated in the Environmental Studies curriculum, diversity of teaching-learning organization, were appreciated. We categorized nine evaluation methods: the teacher may conduct questionnaire surveys, testings, interviews, non-participatory observations; they may evaluate student's experiment-practice performances, reports preparation ability, ability to establish a research project, the teacher may ask the students to conduct a self-evaluation, or reciprocal evaluation. To maximize the effect of these methods, we further developed an application system. It considered three variables, that is, evaluates, evaluation objectives domains, and evaluation agent, and showed how to choose the most appropriate methods and, when necessary, how to combine uses of different methods depending on these variables. A sample evaluation instrument made on the basis of this application system was developed and tested in the classes. The system proved effective. Pilot applications of the teaching-learning methods and evaluation method were made simultaneously; and the results and their implications are as follows. Discussion program was applied in a lesson dealing with the problems of waste disposal, in which students showed active participation and creative thinking. The evaluation method used in this lesson was a multiple-choice written test for knowledge and skills. It was shown that this evaluation method and device are effective in helping students' revision of the lesson and in stimulating their creative interpretations and responces. Pupils showed great interests in the actual investigation program, and this programme was proved to be effective in enhancing students' participation. However, it was also turned out that there must be pre-arranged plans for the objects, contents and procedures of survey if this program is to effective. In this lesson, non-participatory observation methods were used with a focus on the attitudes of students. A scaled reported in general description rather than in grade. Experiment-practice programme was adopted in a lesson for purifying contaminated water and in this lesson, instruction objectives were properly established, the teaching-learning process was clearly specified and students were highly motivated. On the other hand, however, it was difficult to control the class when some groups of students require more times to complete their experiment, and sometimes different results. As regards to evaluation, performance observation test were used for assessing skills and attitudes. If teachers use well-prepared Likert scale, evaluation of all groups within a reasonablely short period of time will be possible. The most effective and successful programme in therms of students' participation and enjoyment, was the 'ah-nah-bah-dah-market' program, which is kind of game of the flea market. For better organized program of this kind, however, are essential, In this program, students appraise their own attitudes and behavior by responding to a written questionnaire. In addition, students were asked to record any anecdotes relating to self-appraisal of changes on one's own attitudes and behaviours. Even after the lesson, students keep recording those changes on letters to herself. Role-playing and simulation game programme was applied to a case of 'NIMBY', in which students should decide where to located a refuse dumping ground. For this kind of programme to e successful, concepts and words used in the script should be appropriate for students' intellectual levels, and students should by adequately introduced into the objective and the procedures of the lessons. Written questionnaire was used to assess individual students' attitudes after the lesson, but in order to acquire information on the changes of students' attitudes and skills, pre-test may have to be made. Doing inquiry programme, in which advantages in which students actually investigated the environmental influence of the areas where school os located, had advantages in developing students' ability to study the environmental problems and to present the results of their studies. For this programme to be more efficient, areas of investigation should be clearly divided and alloted to each group so that repetition or overlap in areas of study and presentation be avoided, and complementary wok between groups bee enhanced. In this programme, teacher assessed students' knowledge and attitudes on the basis of reports prepared by each group. However, there were found some difficults in assessing students' attitudes and behaviours solely on the grounds of written report. Perhaps, using a scaled checklist assessing students' attitudes while their presentation could help to relieve the difficulties.

After the investigation on, and the analysis of, the educational system for medical technicians and the present educational situation for medical technologies in this country, the following conclusions were drawn. 1. As of March 1983 the current academic system for education in medical technologies included the regular 4-year college courses and those of the 2-year professional junior college courses. But except in the cases on clinical pathology and physical therapy, there were no college-level departments. Particularly, no educational institutions, at whatever level, had a department for working therapies. 2. The total number of credits needed for graduation from a department of medical technologies was 150 points at a regular 4-year college and 85 to 96 points at a 2-year professional college. The obligatory minimum number of credits for a student at a professional college was set at 80 points and above. 3. As for the number of the educational institutions for medical technologies in this country, there were one regular college and 14 professional colleges, a total of 15 institutions. As many as 14 colleges had departments of clinical pathology, 12 had departments of Radiotechnology, 11 had departments of physical therapy, 12 had departments of dental technology, and eight had departments of dental hygiene. 4. The total capacity of the professional colleges in admitting new enrollment each year were 1,920 for clinical pathology, 1,552 for radiology, 1,012 for physical therapy, 1,334 for dental technologies, 828 for dental hygiene, an aggregate of 6,646 for all of the professional college departments. 5. The total number of graduates from the 12 professional colleges by department during the period of 1965-83 were 7,595 for clindical pathology, 4,768 for radiology, 2,821 for physical therapy, 3,000 for dental technologies, and 1,787 for dental hygiene, totalling 19,971 for all departments in the professional colleges. 6. In the state examination for licensed medical technicians, 12,446 have passed from among the total of 26,609 participants, representing a 45% passing ratio. By departments the ratios showed 44% for clinical pathology, 39.7% for radiology, 51.2% for physical therapy, 42.5% for dental technology, 72.5% for dental hygiene and 73.1% for working therapy. 7. As for the degree of satisfaction shown by the people in this field, 52.2 percent of the teaching staffs who responed to the questionaires said they were satisfied with their present profession, while the great majority of medical technicians(66%) replied that they were indifferent to the problem. 8. The degree of satisfaction shown by the students on their enrollment in this particular academic field was generally in the framework of indifference(43.7%), but mere students(36.5%) were satisfied with their choice than those were not satisfied(14.4%) 9. As for the student's opinions on the lectures and practicing hours, a good many students replied that, among such courses as general science and humanities courses the basic medical course, the major course and practicing hours, the hours provided for the general courses(47.1%) and practicing(47.6%) were insufficient. 10. When asked about the contents of their major courses, comparatively few students (23.6%) replied that the courses were too difficult, while a convincing majority(58.5%) said they were neither difficult nor easy. As for the appropriateness of the number of the present teaching staffs, a great majority(71.0%) of the students replied that the level of the teaching personnel in each particular field was insufficient. 11. Among the students who responded to the poll, good part of them(49.5%) wanted mandatory clinical practicing hours, and the the majority of them(64.6%) held the view that the experimental and practicing facilities of their schools were insufficient. 12. On the necessity of the attached hospitals, 71.1% of the teaching staffs and 58.0% of the medical technicians had the opinion that this kind of facility was indispensable. 13. As for the qualifications for applicants to the state examination in the licensing system for medical technicians, 52.2% of the teacher's and 36% of the medical technicians replied that the present system granting the qualifications according to the apprenticeship period should be abolished. 14. On the necessity of improving the present system for education in medical technologies, an overwhelming majority(94.4% of the :caching staffs, 92.0% of the medical technicians and 91.9% of students) of these polled replied that the present system should be changed for the better. 15. On the method of changes for the present educational system, a great majority(89.4% of the teaching staffs, 80.4% of the medical technicians and 90.1% of the students) said that the system must be changed so that it fits into the reality of the present day. 16. As for the present 2-year program for the professional colleges, 61.6% of the teachers, 72.0% of the medical technicians and 38.8% of the students expressed the hope that the academic period would be extended to four regular years, hemming a full-fledged collegelevels program. 17. On the life-long eductional system for medical technicians, there was a considerable number of people who expressed the hope that an open university system(38.9% of the teaching staffs, 36.0% of the medical technicians) and a graduate school system would be set up. 18. As for the future prospects for medical technicians as professionals, the optimists ana pessimists were almost equally divided, and 41.1% of the teaching staffs 36.0% of. the technicians and 50.5% of the students expressed an intermediate position on this issue.

21세기는 새로운 지식을 창조할 수 있는 창의적인 인재가 국가발전을 이끈다는 시대적 관심에 따라 세계 여러 나라가 영재교육에 관심을 쏟고 있다. 우리가 잘 알고 있는 미국, 영국, 러시아, 독일, 호주, 이스라엘, 싱가포르 등 영재교육에 관한 관련법을 제정하여 영재교육을 실시하고 있으며 우리나라도 2000년 1월 영재교육진흥법이 공포되고 2002년 4월 영재교육진흥법시행령이 공포 시행됨으로써 영재교육의 활성화의 계기를 마련하게 되었다. 그리고 2008년 10월 영재교육진홍법의 시행령을 개정하였는데 그 주요 취지는 영재교육을 특수교육대상자와 소외계층까지 영재교육의 기회를 확대하는 방안의 마련이다. 이러한 방안의 하나로 각급 학교에 영재학급의 설치를 확대하여 영재교육의 기회를 많은 학생들에게 제공할 수 있도록 하고 있다. 하지만 영재교육의 기회의 확대와 함께 영재교육의 질에 관하여 생각을 해봐야 할 것이다. 무분별한 기회의 확대라는 사회적 견해에 대해 영재학급에서 진행하고 있는 교수-학습 프로그램의 질적인 부분에 대한 평가의 필요성이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 영재학급을 운영하고 있는 3학교의 중학교 1학년 수학-교수 학습 프로그램을 정규교육과정과 영재교육과정의 비교표를 통해 각각의 해당영역을 살펴보고 영재교육과정 중 어느 영역의 내용을 다루는지 살펴보고 수학-교수 학습 프로그램을 기존에 개발된 평가 틀을 수정 보완한 프로그램 평가기준에 맞추어서 프로그램을 평가해보았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 영재학급의 수학 영재 교수-학습 프로그램의 내용영역의 구성과 프로그램의 적절성을 평가하기 위해 다음과 같은 연구문제를 선정하였다. 가. 영재학급의 수학 영재 교수-학습 프로그램의 주제에 따른 내용영역의 구성은 7차 교육과정에 따른 것인가? 1. 정규 교육과정의 어떤 내용 영역에 해당하는 프로그램인가? 2. 영재교육과정 중에서 심화와 선택 중 어느 영역에 해당하는 프로그램인가? 3. 내용 영역이 적절하게 편성되어 운영되고 있는가? 나. 영재학급의 수학 영재 교수-학습 프로그램은 적절한가? 1. 교수-학습 프로그램의 교육목표는 수학영재교육의 교육목표에 일치하는가? 2. 프로그램의 내용은 수학영재교육의 특성을 반영하고 학생들의 영재성을 발현시키는가? 3. 교수-학습 모형과 방법은 학생들의 영재성을 발현시킬 수 있도록 다양한가? 4. 프로그램의 평가는 학습목표와 내용, 사고력의 향상정도를 반영하는가? 이러한 연구문제를 바탕으로 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째, 영재학급의 수학 영재 교수-학습 프로그램의 주제에 따른 내용은 정규 교육과정의 수와 연산과 도형, 측정, 확률과 통계, 문자와 식의 영역에 해당하는 프로그램이었으며 함수영역에 관한 내용을 직접적으로 다루지는 않았고 주로 수와 연산과 도형 영역에 관한 내용이 프로그램의 주를 이루고 있었다. 또 영재교육과정 중에서는 심화 영역과 선택 영역의 내용을 학생들의 영재성을 발현시킬 수 있는 다양한 형태로 적절히 제시하고 있었다. 둘째, 영재학급의 수학 영재 교수-학습 프로그램의 교육목표는 수학영재의 방향과 철학에 일치하며 영재의 특성을 반영하여 일반 학생들에게 제시되는 학습목표와는 달리 학생들의 창의성인 문제해결력을 함양하고 주변 사물에 대해 호기심을 가지고 끊임없이 탐구하는 태도와 해당 교과 영역에서 요구되는 사고능력과 탐구능력, 연구 조사기술을 함양하는 등의 학습목표를 제시하고 있다. 또한 사고전략에 있어서는 시각화, 기호화, 단계화, 탐구 전략을 사용하였으며 교수-학습 모형으로 강의식, 협동학습, 발견학습, 문제해결기반학습을 적용하였으며 교수-학습 활동으로 실험, 탐구, 적용, 예상과 추측, 토론(추측과 반박), 적용, 반성의 활동을 통해 학생들의 영재성을 발현시킬 수 있는 다양한 형태의 교수-학습 전략 및 모형을 활용하였으며 교수-학습 프로그램에서 사전 평가에 대한 언급을 하지는 않았지만 프로그램 활동을 진행하는 과정에서 학습목표를 반영하였으며 학생들의 사고력을 향상시킬 수 있도록 여러 가지 활동을 통하여 원하는 평가를 지필평가의 형태보다는 산출물과 수행평가 그리고 포트폴리오를 가지고 평가하는 방법을 주로 사용하였다.
