본 연구에서는 고등학교 학습 부진 학생을 대상으로 법률학적 탐구 모형에 의한 STS 프로그램의 효과에 대해서 조사하였다. 야간 고등학교 학생 76명을 연구 대상으로 하여 법률학적 모형에 의한 STS 프로그램을 적용한 실험 집단과 전통적인 강의식 수업을 실시한 통제 집단으로 나누어 조사하였다. 본 연구에서 활용한 법률학적 모형에 의한 STS 프로그램은 고등학교 공통과학의 생명 단원 중 '영양과 건강', '자극과 반응'과 '생식'의 3개 소단원을 8차시 분량으로 나누어 적용하였다. 실험 집단의 학업 성취도는 통제 집단에 비해 유의미하게 향상되었으며 (p<.05) 과학에 대한 전반적인 태도에 있어서도 긍정적으로 변화하였다(p<.05). 이 결과로부터 학생의 학업 성취수준에 적합한 STS 프로그램의 개발이 필요하며, 학습 부진아를 위한 교수 학습 방법 및 학습 프로그램의 개발이 요구된다고 하겠다.

I argue that STS education for engineers, despite its prima facie usefulness in demystifying the conventional image of science and technology, should deal with a few challenges in order to cultivate 'responsible' engineers. The challenges come from the fact that there are more than one legitimate way of understanding 'responsible' in the engineering contexts depending on how wide the range of responsibility is intended and on how the relevant reference class is defined. In order to tackle these issues, I suggest that we should take into account more seriously the 'value-laden' nature of the engineering design.

This paper is a study on the prevention of crevice corrosion for a stainless steel heat exchanger in various pH solutions and with Cl ion concentrations. The electrochemical polarization test and crevice corrosion test of STS 304 for a heat exchanger were carried out. The crevice corrosion aspect, a passive behavior, crevice corrosion behavior, and corrosion protection characteristics of STS 304 using Al-alloy and Mg-alloy galvanic anode were considered. The main results are as follows: 1. The crevice corrosion of STS 304 occurs in the crevice and this corrosion increases pitting according to depth direction. On the other hand, the exterior crevice becomes passive. 2. With changing from a neutral to acid environment and increasing Cl ion concentration, the pitting potential of STS 304 lowers, and thus the crevice corrosion of STS 304 is sensitive. 3. The cathodic protection potential of STS 304 in the crevice is cathodically polarized by increasing Cl ion concentration. Therefore, an Al-alloy galvanic anode is more suitable than a Mg-alloy galvanic anode to protect the crevice corrosion of STS 304.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of STS Programs on science-related attitude of junior high school students. For this study, samples of 198 students who are in grade 8 were selected. The eight STS Programs were used in this study. One group pretest-posttest design was used in this study as an experimental design. The TOSRA was used in this study as the science-related attitude evaluation instrument. The major results of this study are as followings: 1. The effects of STS programs about the junior high school students' science-related attitude indicated that there were no statistically significant differences between pretest and posttest. 2. Total students were classified as high(above about mean) or low (bellow about mean) on the basis of science-related attitude pretest scores. The low level students have improved from using of STS programs in teaching science on science-related attitude scores. The high level students have dropped from using of STS programs in teaching science on science-related attitude scores.

The purpose of this study was to test effect of STS instruction using the subject matter of marine life on middle school students' perception of ocean. The objects of 156 students were sampled from the 1st grade of a middle school and were divided into an experimental group and a control group. 79 students of the control group were treated with traditional instruction, while 77 students of the experimental group were treated with STS instruction materials. All of the students took test of perception of ocean before and after the instructions. The perception of ocean was divided into four categories; value of sea, development of marine resources, research and conservation of sea, and perception of sea-related vocation. The results of the pretest and the posttest indicated that the perception of ocean of the experimental group was statistically significantly higher than that of the control group. Specially in categories of the value of sea and the research and conservation of sea, the scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group.

이 연구의 목적은 제7차 교육과정에 따라 편찬된 고등학교 과학 교과서와 차세대 과학 교과서를 STS적 교육내용을 중심으로 비교 분석하기 위한 것이다. STS의 내용들은 Yager의 STS 토픽과 Piel의 기준 그리고 학생들의 SATIS 활동 유형 등에 의해 분석 되었다. 연구결과, 차세대 과학 교과서는 Yager의 기준에 의한 STS 포함 비율은 20.9%로 기존 교과서의 평균인 11.3% 보다 증가한 것으로 나타났다. STS 구성요소 분석 결과 차세대 교과서의 경우 '지역사외와의 관련성'(59%), '과학의 응용성'(18.2%), '실제 문제에 대한 협동 작업'(13.6%) 순이었다. 차세대 과학 교과서는 '지역사회와의 관련성'요소가 기존 과학 교과서 보다 증가하였고 '과학과 관련된 직업에 대한 인식' 요소가 감소한 것이 큰 특징이다. '과학의 다차원성에 대한 인식', '정보의 선택 및 이용에 대한 평가' 등의 요소에 대해서는 차세대 과학 교과서는 포함되지 않은 반면에 기존 과학 교과서의 경우 낮은 비율이지만 어느 정도의 내용을 포함하는 것을 알 수 있다. Piel의 기준에 의한 STS 주제 영역에 관한 비교 분석에서 차세대교과서는 '환경의 질' 문제와 '우주개발과 국방' 문제를 다루고 있는 반면 기존 교과서의 경우 '기술발달의 영향', '천연자원' 등을 다루고 있다. SATIS 교수-학습 활동 영역에서 차세대 과학 교과서의 주된 활동은 '조사 연구', '모의실험', '자료 분석'등이며, 기존 교과서에서는 '역할 놀이', '연구고안', '모의실험'등의 활동은 거의 찾아 볼 수 없다. 따라서 차후 개발될 교과서에서는 '역할 놀이', '연구 고안', '모의실험'등의 활동이 포함되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

STS 학습 프로그램이 요구하는 바를 현장 과학 교육에 구현시키기 위해서는 모든 학습자에게 적절한 수준별 교육 자료들을 개발할 필요가 있다. 이를 위하여 과학교육의 핵심으로 볼 수 있는 과학 교과서에서 공통적으로 꼭 다루어야 할 필수항목을 추출하였다 그런 다음, 이 항목들을 수준별 STS 과학 수업 모형에 적합하도록 개발하였다. 이연구의 목적은 수준별 탐구 능력을 신장하기 위해서 STS 학습 프로그램을 적용하는 데 있다. 이 연구를 실시한 결과 다음과 같은 몇 가지 결론을 얻을 수 있었다: 첫째, 부분적이나마 과학 교과목을 학습하는 태도에 긍정적인 변화가 있었다. 둘째, 생활 주변에서 그 소재를 찾아 과학. 기술, 사회에 접목시킨 수업이기에 과학 기술과 우리의 생활이 밀접한 관계에 있다는 사실을 알게 되었고, 학습의 흥미 유발에 많은 도움이 되었다. 셋째, STS 소재를 구안(具案), 제작하는 과정에서 학생의 자기 주도적 탐구 활동이 이루어짐으로써 스스로 학습하는 계기를 마련할 수 있었다. 넷째, STS 학습프로그램을 적용한 실험집단과 전통적 수업 방식을 적용한 비교집단 사이에는 실험집단이 유의미하게 학업 성취도의 증가가 있었다.

On the grounds of Diane Vaughan's pioneering study into the Challenger Disaster, STS(Science and Technology Studies) scholars have recently argued that most engineers seldom face an ethical situation, in which the boundary between the ethical and the unethical is absolutely clear, and for which a serious moral decision such as "whistle blowing" is urgently needed. They have instead suggested that engineering ethics needs to address engineers' everyday routine practices, which, if accumulated, may have some impact upon the overall performance of the technological system. However, such studies have not completely resolved the tension between STS that emphasizes contextual elements in which the everyday practice of engineers are done, on the one hand, and engineering ethics that stresses individual engineer's moral decision of an existential kind, on the other. By discussing various works on the Challenger Disaster and related issues over technological risks, this paper attempts to establish an interface between STS and engineering ethics, and proposes some practical implications for the effective education of engineering ethics to engineering students.

The purpose of this research was to determine whether the present Korean teacher education programs for secondary science teachers are effective in improving the teacher conceptions of constructivism and STS. It is because the current Korean National Science Curriculum is consistent with both ideas as reforms. The teacher education programs sampled in the research included pre-service programs and two types of in-service programs. These two were the Qualifying In-service Program and the Iowa Korean Science Teachers Workshop. The Iowa Program was considered as an experimental program emphasized the constructivist perspective. Specially designed questionnaires for identifying teacher conceptions before and after the programs were administered. The conceptions about constructivism and STS improved as a result of the instruction in both of the pre-service and in-service teacher education programs. The pre-service program was more effective than the in-service programs in improving the teacher conceptions of both constructivism and STS. The Qualifying Inservice program was less effective than Iowa Korean Science Teachers Workshop. It was necessary for inservice programs for Korean secondary science teachers to be more emphasized on constructivism and STS. Iowa Korean Science Teachers Workshop provided a possible example to design a new special in-service program focused on constructivist perspectives as a way of aligning the Korean National Science Curriculum more quickly with recommended teaching practices in Korean schools.

The development of science and technology not only improved the quality of life of human being, but also brought about environmental problems. Consequently, consensus has been established that early environmental education for youngsters is critical for the preservation of clean environment. A conventional way of teaching has not been very effective for changing their attitude and behavior regarding environmental problems. STS program, which has been one of the major trend in science education, intends to teach science through everyday experience rather than knowledge. This study purports to examine the effectiveness of STS program on environmental problems compared to conventional teaching method. Six week program was developed and applied to subchapter 'Environmental Pollutions & Our Lives' of 3rd grade middle school science text book. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. 1. STS program was significantly effective in changing students' attitude(p<.001). It was effective not only changing their thinking but also changing their behavior. 2. There was no difference between the STS program and conventional teaching method in improving students' knowledge(p>.05). 3. The correlation between the level of knowledge achievement and the attitude on environment was very low(r=.0564,p>.05).
