The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of cooperative making problems and solving problems for formative assessment at finish stage on science academic achievement and scientific attitude. This study is conducted in 51 sixth-graders of two classes. The experimental group was provided with a teaching-learning course based on cooperative making problem and solving problem at finish stage. And the control group was provided with general classes based on the contents in teacher's guidebooks. The experiment was performed with the second and third units of the sixth grade, for about two month and obtained the following results: First, students prefer to make supply-type items than multiple choices. And by the Bloom's revised taxonomy of educational objectives, students prefer to make the problem types of 'Factual Knowledge' and 'Conceptual Knowledge'. Also students prefer to make the problem types of 'Understanding' and 'Applying'. Second, cooperative problem making and solving problems at finish stage has same effect on academic achievement in comparison to teacher-driven activity. Third, the experimental group made statistically significant difference in self-efficiency, contrary to the general science classes. Especially, it turned out that a meaningful effect was discovered to a cooperativity, openness. Finally, it turned out that many students thought cooperative making problem and solving problem at finish stage gave the help approving their cooperativity and openness at the investigation of awareness.

In this study, a problem-centered learning based STEAM field experience learning program was developed and the effects of applying it were investigated. The program was composed of 8 sessions by using problem-centered learning education method and integrating STEAM elements between disciplines. The contents of program are as follow. In the step of sharing problems and making a problem-solving plan, they understood the various examples and meanings of endangered species, explored the project activities, and made an inquiry plan. In the search and re-exploration phase, a smart device was used to investigate the appearance, habitat environment and cause of extinction for Clithon retropictus, and a site inquiry plan was established for each group. Then, they moved to the field to explore brackish-headed gallops and discuss ways to protect endangered species. In the step of creating a solution, a web-based report was produced as the final product using smart devices based on the results of the inquiry. In the presentation and evaluation stage, the produced web-based report was used to present each group, conduct mutual evaluation, and organize project activities. The developed program was applied to 6th grade 29 students enrolled in the J University Gifted Education Center. In order to find out the effectiveness of the program, tests of science process skill, creative problem-solving ability, and scientific attitude were conducted before and after of program learning, and the results were statistically analyzed by t-test. In addition, a STEAM program satisfaction test was conducted after project in order to find out the satisfaction of the class. As a result of application of the program, the results were significantly improved in openness, criticism, and creativity among the sub-factors of creative problem-solving ability and scientific attitude. Satisfaction with the STEAM program was also high, but no significant result was found in science process skill. Therefore, the program of this study could be influenced on improvement of creative problem-solving ability and scientific attitude of gifted students in elementary science.

The high school students' problem solving patterns and their features in scientific inquiry, especially on controlling variables and stating hypothesis have been investigated. The 8 problems on controlling variables and stating hypothesis were selected out of the scientific inquiry area in the experimental tryout of Aptitude Assessment for College Education, and had been used to find the patterns and their features. The results of findings are as follows: There were seven patterns in the process of solving problems. Five of seven patterns were found in right answers and four patterns in wrong answers. Two patterns were found in both right and wrong answers. Some students could solve the problems even though they did not understand the elements of the scientific inquiry, controlling variables and stating hypothesis. The false application of physics concepts, misunderstanding about the elements of the scientific inquiry and using unrelated experience and conjectures were the features of students' wrong answers. On the other hand, the right application of physics concepts, understanding and applying the elements right, infering answers from the tables and figures on statements of suggested problems were the features of right answers. The further studies on this kind may helpful to find the higher mental abilities related to scientific inquiry and to develop tools for testing students' scientific inquiry thinking skills.

The purpose of this study was to develop and apply a creative problem-solving(CPS) program of instruction for earth science. After the earth science sections of high school science textbooks were analyzed, a theme of instruction was selected from the first-year unit 'the origin and evolution of the universe', and a CPS model of instruction. 32 high school sophomores and juniors who were the members of an astronomy club in the city of Gimhae, South Gyeongsang Province, participated in the program, and they took a test in scientific creative problem-solving skills before and after the experiment to grasp the effect of the program on their creative problem-solving skills. Besides, a survey was conducted to find out their awareness of the program. As a result of implementing the CPS program based on the CPS model of instructional for the unit 'the origin and evolution of the universe', the program turned out effective at boosting the scientific creative problem-solving skills of the students. To be specific, they made a significant progress in validity and scientificity, but that's not the case for elaboration and originality. When their awareness of the CPS program was checked, they expected the program to spark their interest in astronomy and be beneficial to the improvement of their creative problem-solving skills, but they didn't rate group activities high on the ground that the group activities weren't performed smoothly. The findings of the study suggest that the CPS instructional program for the unit 'the origin and evolution of the universe' based on the CPS model of instruction had a good effect on the improvement of the scientific creative problem-solving skills of the students.

컴퓨팅 사고(computational thinking)는 2015 개정 과학교육과정 및 미국의 차세대 과학교육표준(NGSS)에서 새로운 탐구 기능 혹은 역량으로 제시되고 있다. 특히, 2014년부터 교육부가 소프트웨어 교육을 필수화함에 따라 컴퓨팅 사고에 관한 관심은 더욱 커지고 있다. 그러나 과학교육 분야에서 컴퓨팅 사고를 어떻게 접목할 것인가에 대한 논의는 아직 부족한 실정이다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 다양한 관련 분야의 문헌 분석을 통해 컴퓨팅 사고 요소들을 과학 탐구에 접목하는 방안을 마련하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 먼저 컴퓨팅 사고의 요소에 대한 여러 정의를 정리하였고, 이를 활용한 모형을 개발하기 위해 일반 문제해결 과정과 과학적 탐구과정들을 종합적으로 분석하였다. 마지막으로 컴퓨터 과학 분야에서 문제해결에 접목한 사례들과 비교하여 컴퓨팅 사고 기반 과학 탐구(CT-SI) 모형의 요소들을 정리하였다. 정리된 요소들을 이학 전문가들에게 제공하여 각 분야의 연구 과정과 컴퓨팅 사고 요소들을 접목하여 설명하게 한 후, 이를 기반으로 문제발견형 CT-SI 모형과 문제해결형 CT-SI 모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 두 모형은 이학 전문가들에 의해 모형의 단계가 각 분야의 연구에 활용 가능하다고 검토받았으며, '문제발견형'은 과학 연구 과정에서 정보를 선별하고 문제를 분석하는 과정과 이론적 연구에서 근거를 기반으로 하는 추론 연구 과정에 적합하다고 응답하였다. '문제해결형'은 과학의 일반적인 연구 과정 및 공학설계를 활용한 공학적 문제해결과정에 적합하다고 응답하였다. 또한, 현장 교사 2인에 의해 중고등학교 현장 탐구 수업에 적용 가능함을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 모형은 다양한 과학 교과의 탐구 활동과 연계할 수 있으며 이를 통해 2015 개정 교육과정에서 제시하고 있는 '자료의 수집, 분석 및 해석', ' 수학적 사고와 컴퓨터 활용' 역량을 길러줄 수 있을 것이다.
