In the present study I developed the test for earth scientific creativity level and verified means to measure scientific creativity. I developed 22 test items and after being examined by science education specialist, 11 items were finally established, and these were applied to 104 middle students. Each answer paper was graded according to the standard answer that I developed and the results of analysis are as follows. First, to verify the validity of measuring means I figured out content validity. The content validity about test items and adequacy of evaluation goal was examined by 1 science education specialist and 3 middle school science teachers, 6 education graduate students. As a result of validity verification, the content validity was 82.7% and it showed that the test of earth scientific creativity was valid for evaluation goal and sub-factors of creativity. Second, to verify reliability of measuring means, I analyzed internal consistency of the test sheet of earth scientific creativity after finding correlation coefficient and Cronbach's $\alpha$. Cronbach's $\alpha$, the internal reliability coefficient, was 0.848. Therefore, it was verified that this test sheet of earth scientific creativity is reliable to measure the creativity of the middle school students. The correlation between sub-factors of creativity was statistically significant, and for the relation between the variables related to creativity, the originality was the most significant. This shows that in the procedure of scientific creativity and studying science, originality should be the most important factor.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects on the effects of science lessons using six thinking hats techniques on creativity and science academic achievement. To verify the research problem, the subject of this study was fourth-grade students selected from four classes of an elementary school located in Busan. For ten weeks, the experimental group of 40 students was taught using the six thinking hats techniques. The comparative group also of 40 students, was taught in normal classes which used a Text-book. Children were given a creativity test and academic achievement test in science to measure the effects on six thinking hats techniques. Likert scales were used to gather students feedbacks on creativity and science academic achievement. Through these procedures, the following results were obtained: First, the six thinking hats techniques had a more effect on creativity than the normal classes, where a text-book was used. Second, the six thinking hats techniques could be seen to be effective in improving the student's academic achievements in science than the normal classes which used a Text-book. Third, the result of the student recognition investigation, we could know that the students showed lots of interest in the science lessons using six thinking hats techniques, and they were able to understand the scientific theories. As a result, the elementary science class with six thinking hats techniques had the effects of developing creativity and science academic achievement. It means the science class with six thinking hats techniques has potential possibilities and value to develop creativity and science academic achievement.

과제중심학습이 교사가 학습자에게 전달해야 할 지식을 미리 정한 순서에 따라 차례로 제공하는 학습이라면. 문제중심학습(PBL)은 구성주의의 상대론적 인식론에 따른 학습자의 문제해결능력의 활용에 관심을 둔 학습양식이다. 본 연구에서는 문제중심학습은 학습과정을 자율적 학습과정과 구분하여 이를 적용하였으며 이를 통하여 창의력에 미치는 효과를 알아보았다. 창의력은 관련분야에 실재하는 복잡하고 비구조적인 문제들을 자신의 두뇌 속에 이미 존재하는 지식이나 축적된 경험을 바탕으로 새롭고 유용한 결합을 이루어 내고, 그것에 기초하여 판단을 내리는 능력으로 보고, 본 연구에서는 이를 창의적 성향과 기능면에서 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과, 문제중심학습(PBL)은 통계적으로 유의수준 .05에서 창의력 신장에 긍정적인 효과를 보이고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

최근의 연구들은 과학영역에서 남학생이 여학생에 비해 훨씬 더 높은 학업 성취도를 보인다고 주장하고, 과학영역에서의 창의성 측면에서도 남학생이 여학생에 비해 더 높은 창의적 성취를 보일 것이라는 것이 일반적인 통념이다. 과학영재교육이 본격화되고 남${\cdot}$여 과학영재들의 창의적 특성에 대한 이해의 중요성이 부각되고 있지만, 이를 뒷받침할 연구들은 거의 부재한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 135명의 과학영재학생들을 대상으로 창의성의 다양한 영역에서, 특히 확산적 사고라는 영역 보편적 입장과 과학에서의 창의적 행동특성과 문제해결 및 발견이라는 영역 특수적 입장에서, 남학생과 여학생간의 창의성의 차이를 살피고 창의성의 본성에 대한 이해를 돕고자 했다. 본 연구의 결과는 과학 영재여학생들이 남학생들에 비해 모든 영역에서 유의미하게 큰 차이를 보이지는 않았지만, 전반적으로 창의성의 세 영역 모두에서 상대적으로 높은 성취를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 구체적으로 살펴보면 확산적 사고의 융통성, 제목의 추상성, 정교성 영역에서, 과학에서의 창의적 문제 해결력 및 문제 발견력을 측정하는 CPSF의 가설 설정 능력의 유창성과 독창성 영역에서, 그리고 과학에서의 창의적 행동 특성을 측정하는 CBCS에서 개방성, 심미안에서 과학 영재 여학생이 남학생보다 유의미하게 창의성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 남학생은 여학생에 비해 CBCS에서의 '과학적 호기심' 문항에서만 유의미하게 더 높은 창의성 점수를 보임으로 본 연구 결과는 '남학생이 여학생보다 더 창의적이다'라는 사회의 일반적인 통념과 상반된 결과를 보였다.

This study was conducted using the phenomenological research method to collect and analyze high school students' opinions about fusing "science" textbook that reflect the 2009 Revised Curriculum. Ninety six students were chosen to be participants from 32 high schools that selected by city and province. The data collection was carried by individual interviews and group discussions. The results are as follow; students' opinions were summarized to 50 themes, and then classified to 9 theme clusters and 2 categories. Students' opinions were divided into a positive position - "it is good because interesting material associated with life", "the structure of textbook is good", "teachers' efforts make class interesting", and "it will help in career choices"- and negative position - "the content is difficult to understand", "the configuration is complex", "I have less interest about it because it doesn't related College Scholastic Ability Test", "teacher's explanation is insufficient", and "it is not associated with career choice"-. The living-related material and story-telling configuration received good reviews from students. On the other hand, the configuration of topics makes many concepts to use, so students have difficulty understanding the content and pointed out the lack of teachers' explanations about unfamiliar areas. In order to solve the difficulties, variety teaching material for fusing "science" will be developed.

In order to foster 'creative convergence talents' teachers and pre-service teachers who possess a certain degree of creativity must learn about this new approach as part of their teacher training. In this study, we attempted to identify the implications on the curriculum of the teacher education-training college in question by analysing secondary school teachers' and pre-service teachers' creativity and by collecting sufficient data to develop a positive feedback model for selecting, cultivating, and appointing pre-service teachers who fulfil the requirements of said college of education. Such teachers will display the commitment and professionalism to fulfil their teaching duties in the best possible manner and will consistently produce valuable contributions to their chosen subject matter and integrate these into their daily teaching. These teachers will complete all their tasks in a creative way, including student guidance, administrative duties, and academic lessons. The factors that distinguished creative teachers from others included originality and fluency. Our test group comprised 216 pre-service teachers as well as 137 fully qualified teachers. Teachers' understanding of the factors required in order to qualify as a 'creative and committed teacher' was very low. We provided data to the college of education to increase creativity when selecting teachers and curricula based on an analysis of perceptions of creativity provided by teachers and pre-service teachers.

Modern society requires people with practical knowledge that is able to recognize actual problems in the complex reality and solve the problems. Due to that reason, the 7th National Curriculum aims to basically cultivate ability adaptable to information-oriented global age by maximizing students' individuality and creativity. However, as existing education is hard to improve creativity, logical thinking, information processing skills, and problem-solving ability in the information-oriented age, self-directed learning is getting highlighted. Therefore, this study aimed to look into how learner-oriented IPER for self-directed learning and problem-based learning(PBL) in middle school science affected academic achievement of science and self-directed learning characteristics. As the results of the study are as follows. First, as the result of pre-and post-test to compare and analyze the effects of IPER instruction model and PBL instruction model on learners' academic achievement increase, it showed that the class with IPER instruction model was more effective. Second, as the result of pre-and post-test to compare and analyze the effects of IPER instruction model and PBL instruction model on self-directed learning characters, IPER was more effective than PBL overall, and among sub-areas, 'openness', 'self-concept', 'initiative', 'future-oriented self-understanding', and 'self-evaluation' were more effective in IPER while 'creativity' was more effective in PBL. However, among sub-areas 'responsibility' and 'learning enthusiasm' didn't show statistically significant difference. Third, the results of the post-survey to compare and analyze learners' perception regarding the application of IPER instruction model and PBL instruction model, the two models were positively affective. In addition, as the result of comparing the two models, IPER was more positive than PBL.
