The purpose of this study is to develop a science writing teaching strategy, and to apply it to the fourth-graders in elementary science classes. We examined its effect on their motivation, attitude, and understanding of science concept. For the research fourth grade children were grouped into three classes: an experimental class A of 27 children, an experimental class B of 24 and a comparative class of 27. All of them are from H elementary school in Seoul, Korea. Experimental class A learned science writing with a newly developed strategy while experimental class B learned science writing in a traditional method. Comparative class did not learn science writing. As a result, class A showed positive changes on students' science motivation, attitude, and understanding of science concept. In addition, class B with even one science writing task for a chapter had higher achievement in the understanding of science concept than the comparative class had.

This study was planned to investigate the patterns and the effect of science journal writing on the science process skill and the scientific attitude of elementary school students. This study tried to show their perceptions about science journal writing in order to find out the value of science journal writing. For this purpose, one class of 6th graders in an elementary school was tested. The results from this research show as follows: Science journals are classified into 9 types according to content and form. Writings about curiosity are the most frequent. Science concepts are found in observational journal. Science journals are more effective in the development of the science process skills and scientific attitude. Students are revealed to be in positive aspects through the research about science journal. In conclusion, science journal writing should be emphasized in science education for elementary school students.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact on creativity when the elementary fifth-grade students do the activity with impression writing or the activity with science writing after reading books on science. The subjects for this study were students in two fifth-grade classes in an elementary school that was located in Incheon. The two classes were respectively selected as an experimental group and a comparison group. The comparison group read books on science and did the activity with impression writing for 6 weeks. And, the experimental group also read books on science and did the activity with science writing for 6 weeks. According to the result of the effect on the creativity, the experimental group was better than the comparison group. This study showed that the activity with science writing was more effect than the activity with impression writing to boost the creativity. After a detailed analysis about the creativity, this study showed a boost for all area of subordinate creativity.

In order to investigate elementary school students' readiness to write on scientific subject, we analyzed the participants' draft in elementary student section [National Student Science Writing Contest] which is sponsored by a daily press. As a first step, we designed an assessment framework to analyze the students' writing. It is composed of three domains: scientific thinking, logical validity, creativeness. Each domain has three sub-domains. By using the framework, seven raters scored the students' inquiry reports. The findings reveal that the students needed the training for scientific writing. Especially they had great difficulty in the sub-domain of 'suggestion of rational alternative solution' in scientific thinking domain, the sub-domains of 'clearness' and 'coherence' in logical validity domain, and in the sub-domains of 'creative problem solving' and 'creative presentation' in creative domain.

This study also examined the effects of the animation-based writing instruction on the interest and confidence of those students. To this aim, the present study utilized a set of writing tests and questionnaires before and after the instruction. The data were collected from 63 elementary school students. The data were then analyzed using a series of statistical analyses. The results suggested that the students who received the writing instruction using animations performed significantly better on the writing test than those who received the textbook-based instruction. The results also suggested that those who received the animation-based instruction showed more positive interest and confidence on English and English learning. Finally, limitations of the present study and suggestions for further studies are discussed at the end of the paper.

본 연구의 목적은 '계절변화'에 대한 탐구적 과학 글쓰기 수업이 초등학생들의 과학 학습동기 및 과학적 태도에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 알아보는 것이다. 본 연구는 P광역시 소재 Y초등학교 6학년 2개 학급의 학생들을 대상으로 실시하였다. 연구집단으로 선정된 1개 학급 24명을 대상으로 '계절변화' 단원에 대한 10차시 수업을 탐구적 과학글쓰기 형식으로 진행하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. '계절변화'에 대한 탐구적 과학글쓰기 수업은 초등학생들의 과학학습동기 및 과학적 태도에 유의미한 효과가 있었다. 이것은 학생들이 탐구한 내용을 글로 표현하는 과정에서 자신감과 흥미를 가지게 되었고 자신이 탐구한 내용을 글로 표현하고 동료들과 논의하는 과정에서 호기심과 협동성 그리고 끈기가 생겨 이것이 과학적 태도 향상에 영향을 미친 것으로 생각된다. 또한 탐구적 과학글쓰기 수업에 참가한 학생들의 수업에 대한 만족도, 흥미도, 참여도 조사 결과에서도 좋은 평가를 받았다.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effectiveness of science writing on organizing scientific knowledge and improving science process skills and science attitude, as science educators have indicated. For this study, two classes of $5^{th}$ grade students were chosen in the same elementary school. Subjects were divided into an experimental and a control group. The students in the experimental group took part in a science writing program for 14 lessons of science classes. The students in the control group were taught according to the traditional science program using standard science textbooks. To identify the effects of science writing, both groups' students were tested on science achievement, science process skills, and science attitude before the program implementation and were tested on science concept, science process skills, science attitude after the program implementation. The results of this study showed that the experimental group gains significantly higher scores than the control group in science concept and science attitude, but there was no significant difference on science process skills for either group. In conclusion, science writing had positive effects on science concept and science attitude of elementary school students, helping them to express their thinking logically and systematically, but science process skills were not affected.
