The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the multicultural perceptions (multicultural acceptability, multicultural sensitivity and judging multicultural children) of elementary school students. The subjects comprised 1,252 students (583 third graders and 669 sixth graders), promoted from 20 elementary school in J province. The findings are as follows. First, the independent t-test showed that the lower graders had higher scores in cultural openness and national identity of multicultural acceptability, as well as the cognitive element of multicultural sensitivity than upper graders. In addition, the upper graders had higher scores in unilateral expectations for assimilation of multicultural acceptability, as well as the cognitive element of judging multicultural children. Second, all subscales were found to be interrelated, except for unilateral expectations for assimilation and two subscales (cognitive and righteous) in judging multicultural children. These results imply that in order to help have more positive perceptions of multiculturalism, it is necessary to develop more diverse multicultural education programs for elementary school students which take into consideration their grade levels.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effectiveness of concepts on global warming, practical will and belief on global warming mitigation by experiments based on global warming program. For this study, 60 $6^{th}$ grade students were selected in two elementary schools. They were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The students of the experimental group took part in global warming program focusing experiments for 10 lessons during 2 weeks. The students of the control group were taught according to the regular curriculum of $6^{th}$ grade about global warming. To identify the effects of this program, both groups' students were tested on concepts on global warming, practical will and belief on global warming mitigation before and after the program implementation. Also the students of the experimental group wrote an essay and gave an interview about the program after implementation. The results were that the experimental group gained higher scores than the control group in the concepts on global warming. The programs improved students' practical will and belief on global warming mitigation. Also this program showed that the students systematically understood on global warming than existing classes in the regular curriculum.

We investigated elementary school students' knowledge, behavior, experience and preference of education method related to food safety in order to provide basic information for food safety educational program. A survey study was conducted with 569, fourth and sixth grade students, from two schools in Seoul and Ulsan. Students were asked thirty-two questions regarding food safety knowledge, behavior and experiences as well as their attitude to food safety class and preference for teaching method. The data was analyzed for the frequency analysis, t-test, chi-square test, one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation using the SPSS/Windows. Results indicated that 91.9 percent of the respondents did not know what unsanitary food is. 67 percent of the respondents did not know the proper method of hand washing. Although the students' level of knowledge and behavior associated with food safety was low, there was meaningful correlation(r =.184, p<.01) between knowledge and behavior. Surprisingly, students in higher grade did not demonstrate an exceeding food safety knowledge and behavior. More than 50 percent of the subjects did not have food safety education either at home or school. 60 percent of the respondents interested in food safety and the majority recognized that a food safety education is needed. Students want to learn about unsanitary food(34.1%), foodborne illness(29.7%), food selection and storage method(21.3%), and personal hygiene(11.2%) through game, role play, and practice in real situation. These results suggest that development of food safety education program is needed through the elementary school year and the education program must include fun activities in which students can participate.

남자 초 중 고등학생의 척추측만증 유병률을 알아 보고자 1988년 5월 부산 시내 남자 2개 국민학교 4학년 463명, 1개 중학교 1학년 543명, 1개 고등학교 1학년 387명 총 1,393명을 대상으로 국민학생에게는 시진으로, 중 고등학생에게는 시진과 폐결핵 집단검진을 위해 실시한 흉부X-선 간접촬영을 이용하여 조사하였다. 이상소견으로 나타난 학생의 체중, 신장, 평소 가방을 메고 다니는 방향을 조사하였다. 만곡의 크기는 Cobb's 방법을 이용하였다. 사진과 흉부X-선 간접촬영 어느 한쪽이라도 척추에 이상소견으로 판정된 학생은 국민학생 15명(3.2%), 중학생 174명(32.0%), 그리고 고등학생 92명(23.8%)이었다. 그러나 시진과 흉부X-선 간접촬영 모두 이상소견으로 일치되는 경우는 중학생 2.2%, 고등학생 2.6%이었으며 Cobb's 각이 $5^{\circ}$ 이상인 척추측만증은 중학생 1.1%, 고등학생 2.3%였다. 두가지 조사방법에 모두 이상소견을 보인 학생들의 가방메는 방향과 척추만곡의 방향은 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.05). 두가지 조사방법중 어느 한가지에 이상소견을 보인 281명의 평균체중과 신장은 같은 나이의 우리나라 표준체중과 신장에 비해 국민학생의 경우 체중은 거의 같았으나 신장은 표준신장보다 약간 작았다. 중학생은 표준치보다 체중은 1.4kg, 신장은 4.3cm 작았고 고등학생의 평균 체중과 신장은 모두 표준치보다 약간 더 높았다. 본 조사성적으로 미루어 보아 고등학교 상급학년에는 척추측만증 유병률이 더 높을 것이며 여학생들에게는 남자보다 더 흔하므로 척추측만증은 간과할 수 없는 학교보건문제로 생각된다. 또한 척추측만증 예방을 위해 가방의 무게를 줄이고, 학교에서 바른 자세를 갖도록 교육하고, 주기적으로 체조를 시키도록 하는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to develop MBL(Microcomputer Based Laboratory) programs for sixth-grade elementary students in science laboratory instructions and to ascertain the effects of this program on academic achievement and science-related affective characteristics. In laboratory instructions, using the MBL was found to be effective in improving academic achievement for elementary students, especially in the domain of knowledge. In addition, it helped students to improve science-related affective characteristics. The experimental group showed higher levels, especially in the domains of cognition and interest. When our findings were analyzed in detail, the sub-domains that showed positive effects included 'cognition of science' in the domain of cognition, and interest toward science', 'interest toward science learning', 'interest toward science related activities', and 'anxiety for science' in the domain of interest. Male students exhibited improvement in the domain of cognition while female students showed improvement in the domain of interest. In conclusion, utilizing MBL programs as an experimental measurement in the real field of elementary science education can be said to be both positive and desirable.

The purpose of this study was to confirm correlation between elementary school students' VARK Learning styles test and Scientific Communication Skills through VARK questionnaire (version 7.3) for Youngers and Scientific Communication Skills Test. The subjects were 99 in 6th grade students of an elementary school located in Gyeonggi-do, Korea. The results of this study were as follows: 64% of the students had multiple learning styles, but only 36% of the students preferred a single mode of information presentation. Among students had a single mode preference, the aural ("A") was the highest unimodal preference. Among "V(visual)" mode, "A" mode, "R(read/write)" mode, and "K(kinesthetic)" mode, "A" mode was the commonest learning mode which students had. In Scientific Communication Skills Test, students' overall average was 26.19p [scientific explanation type (11.85p), scientific insistence type (14.34p)]. Girls' scores were higher than boys in scientific explanation type, but not in scientific insistence type. The scores by communication forms were Text (5.67p), Number (6.87p), Table (6.15p), and Picture (7.49p). Girls' scores were higher than boys in Text and Picture forms but not in Number and Table forms. In result of correlation analysis (Spearman's rho) between VARK Learning Styles and the types & forms of Scientific Communication Skills, there were common correlation in "Read/write (R) learning style-Scientific insistence type", "Read/write (R) learning style-Grounds of Scientific insistence", "Read/write (R) learning style-Description of Scientific explanation", and "R learning style-Text form".
