This study is to develop teaching aids and materials for geological fieldwork and to maximize their effects in educating high school students in Korea. The site of geological fieldwork, Kyokpo Chaeseokgang area, is located in Byunsan national park in Jeonbuk Province. The sedimentary succession of Chaeseokgang developed in the era of Cretaceous shows large-scale and distinct sedimentary structures on sea cliffs. In this study, teaching aids and materials of earth science for secondary-level students were developed based on the sedimentary structures of Chaeseokgang. A 5-step teaching model of earth science fieldwork was applied to a group of 13 students, who had been involved in clubs related to earth science in a science high school, using teaching aids and materials developed in this study. The teaching aids and fieldwork-related materials were also presented to a group of 37 students, who did not take fieldwork or fieldwork-related classes during the period of the study. The results of this study showed that the use of fieldwork-related aids and materials was effective in helping the students in both groups improve their self-directed teaming and practical understanding of earth science.

In this study, a geological field trip learning program using 3 Dpanorama virtual reality (PVR) techniques is developed to learn about the Chaeseokgang area located in a national park near Byeonsan-bando, Jeonbuk, Korea. The developed $360^{\circ}{\times}180^{\circ}$ PVR program can show every face of observational points and interact as zoom-in, zoom-out and image rotation. For the educational effects of the materials, it is provided with a compass, a protractor for measuring the dip of strata and observation of specimen of observational points. It also assists students to learn by providing enlarged images, pop-up windows, and expert explanation main observational points. The program is applied to the class of 35 gifted students in middle school to investigate the effectiveness of the program. The results showed that positive responses of the students were 85% or more. It is suggests that this program be used as indirect situated learning material and a solution to geological field trip problems like cost, safety, distance, and so on geological learning of middle school science.

This study aims analyze the geological values in relation to the volcanic area and to investigate a possibility of the geosites and the geoheritages in Byeonsanbando area. The results indicate that the seven geosites are relevant as a potential national geopark, including Gunghang, Solseom Island, and Mohang located in Oebyeonsan and Jikso Falls, Gulbawi, Seongye Falls, and Ulgumbawi located in Naebyeonsan. Solseom Island and Mohang should be preserved and used as a place of the geological study because of their high geological heritage values. Besides, Jeokbyeokgang and Chaeseokgang are famous for excellent natural landscapes as they have been proven with academic values. Like this, these area are considered to have sufficient value as a national geopark of Korea, because their geoheritages are variously distributed in Byeonsanbando area.

The UNESCO`s earth science division has developed the geoparks program to recognize earth scientific heritage sites worldwide. To respond to this movement, I suggest Byeonsanbando National Park (BNP) as the first geopark in Korea and provide, at the same time, a line of evidence supporting the designation of geopark. BNP has the best qualifications with geological, geomorphological, ecological, and cultural resources. In Chaeseokgang and Jeokbyukgang, there are many geological and geomorphological resources attracting the scientific importance. In addition, BNP has a total of 844 species of wild plants and 550 species of wild animals. Cultural properties abound in BNP, including Koryo bronze bell of Naesosa and Taeungjon hall of Kaeamsa. To be designated a geopark by UNESCO, a management plan of geotourism will be required in addition to the geological, geomorphological, ecological and cultural resources, which should be prepared by the Korea National Parks Service and related local government authority. If the above-mentioned conditions are met completely, Korea would enter the global network of geoparks for the first time.

The purpose of this study is to develop geological field sites for open ended education and inquiry learning, and to find the influence of field study on the affective domain in science and the achievement. As for the field sites, we used the areas ranging from Chaeseokgang- of Kyeokpo, in Buan, to around Bangsanje from Naejang-dong in Jeongeup to Ssangchi-myun in Sunchang-kun, Jeolla North Province. The affective domain in science is composed of three parts-cognition of science, interests toward science, and the scientific attitudes. to evaluate the stage of the achievement, we used questionnaire composed by 25 items. While the control group does not show any change in three parts of the affective domain, the experimental group shows positive changes, from 2.44 to 2.37 (cognition of science), from 3.15 to 3.08 (interests toward science), and from 2.91 to 2.74 (scientific attitudes) on Likert Scale. Also the score arranged by the analysis of covariate shows that the experimental group is more positive than the control group by 0.12 point in cognition of science, by 0.15 point in interests toward science, and by 0.23 point in scientific attitudes. In terms of the stage of achievement, the score of the experimental group, which is arranged by analysis of covariate, is 7.68 higher than that of the control group, on maximum of 100.

Although the Chungmak village, Gyeokpo-ri, Buan-gun is a small seashore village, it's an important place that has the largest ancient maritime ritual sites in Korea. This 'Chungmak-dong Ritual Site'(5~6 century, Baekje of the Three-kingdom period) was located in the Dangsan forest of Black Pine (Pinus thunbergii) Colony, and that has a significant meaning concerned with Dangsan forest's origin. Chungmak village located in the Scenic Site # 13 named 'Chaeseokgang and Jeokbyeokgang coastal cliff in Buan', and have retained the Jeollabuk-do Tangible Cultural Property # 58 named 'Suseongdang', the Natural Monument # 123 named 'Machilus community in Gyeokpo-ri, Buan'. The 'Suseongdang Gaeyang Grandmother Dangsinje (Village Ritual)' which is Dangsan ritual has been held every year by village residents. The practical management of Suseongdang and Machilus community has been conducted by village residents. In this study, the landscape characteristics of the Dangsan forest were investigated including neighborhood elements such as Bibo forest, seashores, and farm fields. The conservation of cultural landscape was thought to be achieved by designating 'Protected Area of Sacred Natural Sites'. The Dangsan forest ought to be recognized for their valuable landscape characteristics. It should be managed as a protected area and a sacred natural sites in order to be registered as a World Cultural Heritage.
