The environment of the world becomes deteriorated rapidly as the result of the development of technology, the increase of the standard of living, and the growth of population. These circumstances called for environmental education in Korea, creating an environment course in the middle and high school in 1995. Despite the increasing importance of environmental education, however, the situation has not developed in its favor because of the current system of the university entrance examination. The school has failed to develop the curriculum of environmental education in the secondary education. This paper solves this problem internally in terms of the improvement of the contents, organization, teaching method (role-playing game), and teaching materials of environmental education, with a case study of the “noise” unit in 10th grade. This case study expects to change the attitude toward noise, increase the interest and knowledge in environment, and lead to responsible environmental behavior.

Problem-centered learning has many implications on teaching and learning mathematics. Students devise their solutions to solve problems and participate in the discussion with teacher and other students to share and justify their solution during the problem-centered learning. Therefore, we purposed to provide problem-centered loaming materials to be able to use in teaching and loaming the 7th mathematics curriculum in this study. First, we reviewed the 7th curriculum and its textbooks to know what and how students learn and suggested the problem-centered learning as a teaching method to perform the 7th curriculum. Next, we developed the problem-centered loaming materials for 6th grade in elementary school and taught students with these materials to amend errors. Finally, we developed evaluation criteria to evaluate students while they teamed mathematics in the problem-centered learning.

Chemical batteries are indispensable materials, and technologies related to chemical batteries are important as they are linked to various social problems; further, they directly affect our lives. Thus, the topic of chemical batteries is suitable for industrial education. However, there has not been sufficient educational use of chemical batteries in Korea, and existing research materials do not correspond with the present curriculum. The STS teaching-learning materials about chemical batteries in this study were developed by the curriculum development model (preparation, development, improvement) for chemical engineering students in specialized vocational high schools. In the preparation stage, the study topic and the learning objective were selected by analyzing previous research about the STS and chemical battery. At the development stage, STS class plan and teaching-learning materials were developed. In the improvement stage, The STS curriculum plan and the teaching-learning materials were verified by a group of specialists and a survey regarding student satisfaction was conducted. As a result of conducting the class with the teaching-learning materials developed in this study, a positive effect in terms of students' perceptions, understanding and interest.

The purpose of this study is to develop and apply effective teaching strategies and program for the gifted-in-science. The teaching material for the gifted students was focussed on microscope. This study consists of three steps according to the enrichment triad model of Renzulli. Firstly, the gifted students investigate and express themselves for theological backgrounds, for examples, kinds, structure and use in various ways of microscope. It is to provide basic data for the effective ideas and interest which help students have the appropriate microscopic conceptions. In the second step, it contains understanding of a term and function of microscope, making of simple microscope, principle of a statue focusing and size estimation of an outline of subjects by scientific investigation activity. Lastly, it focussed on enlargement of post-learning through investigation of relationship with inter-science and experiments using microscope. Therefore, it was concluded that this study may help teachers reconsider scientific program development for the gifted or enriched students and to be successful in the teaching-learning processes.

The importance of computer education has increased as a knowledge-based society develops. The national project for developing the industry of educational information will be ended by the year of 2000 From year 2001 on, the korean government plans to include computer education in Elementary and Middle-School Curricula. Teachers' colleges in Korea need to develop standardized teaching materials. These teaching materials may be used to teach a computer education class, plan a computer education curriculum, and do research on computer education teaching methods as well as computer education teaching materials. This study attempted to examine some aspects for developing teaching materials which we may use to teach pre-service teacher trainees in a teachers' college. The results of this study will help pre-service teacher trainees not only improve their ability of information literacy, but also obtain some techniques and strategies for teaching computer education in school.
