This study investigated how elementary school teachers reconstruct science curriculum and how they perceive about their experiences. In-depth interviews were conducted with four elementary school teachers who had experience in restructuring science curriculum. Two distinct types of reconstruction were found; restructuring within the subject and integrating between subjects. The teachers who were restructuring science curriculum from personal needs usually substitute, delete, add some contents or activities and change the order of unit within science subject. In contrast, the teachers who were participating in research school usually integrated science with other subjects, developing a new unit or project. The latter recognized the need of teachers' reconstruction of science curriculum more strongly and the importance of teacher's voluntary learning community in implementing the reconstruction. Though they had some difficulties in identifying students' interests and level of understanding and lack of time, all teachers valued curriculum reconstruction by relating it to teacher professional development, identity as a teacher, and job consciousness.

과학의 본성에 대한 학생들의 이해는 과학적 소양을 길러 일상생활의 문제해결에 도움을 주기 위해 필요할 뿐 아니라 학생 개인의 과학학습에 미치는 영향에 의해서도 그 중요성을 간과할 수 없다. 이런 맥락에서 살필 때 현재 7차 교육과정에서 과학 교육을 받고 있는 학생들의 과학의 본성에 대한 관점이 어떤가를 살펴보고 이것이 기존의 연구에서 나타난 7차 교육과정 이전의 학생들의 과학의 본성에 대한 관점과 비교할 때 차이가 있는지를 살펴보는 것은 그 차이에 기여하는 요인이 무엇인지를 살펴보기위한 첫걸음이 될 수 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 7차 교육과정의 인문계 고등학교에서 교육을 받은 1학년과 2학년 학생들의 과학의 본성에 대한 관점을 조사하여 관점의 분포를 알아보고 그 결과를 기존 연구에 나타난 7차 교육과정이전에 과학의 본성에 대한 1학년과 3학년 고등학생들의 관점과 비교하였다. 7차 교육과정에서 교육을 받은 고등학생들은 과학의 본성에 대한 하위차원에 있어서 전반적으로 상대주의, 연역주의 관점이 유의미하게 증가하고, 비상황주의에서 상황주의 관점으로 변화된 것으로 나타나 과학 철학적으로 일관되게 과학의 본성을 인식하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 7차 교육과정 이전의 학생들에 비해서 유의미하지 않지만 좀 더 도구주의적인 관점을 갖고 있었다. 과학교육에서 과학지식보다는 과학적 방법과 과정을 중요하다고 보는 생각은 7차 교육과정 이전의 과학 교육을 받은 학생들과 같지만 인식의 정도에서는 유의미한 감소가 있었다. 이러한 차이의 원인으로 여러 가지를 생각할 수 있겠으나 선행연구를 통하여 교과서에서 과학사의 도입과 탐구활동의 변화가 영향을 줄 수 있음을 논의 하였다.

The purpose of this research is to minimize the learning deficiency on science subject in changeover from the 7th education curriculum to the next curriculum which was noticed in 2007. We investigated the contents overlapped or omitted in science contents organization between the two curriculums; moved contents to upper or lower grade, deleted contents, enlarged contents and reduced contents. Also we found that the deficiency will be occurred for the students who entered school in 2006 and 2007 in elementary school. To minimize the learning deficiency in the changeover, we must consider the following points. (1) We need to promote the teachers' comprehension about the learning deficiency and supplementary instruction through the teacher training program before carrying out the next curriculum. (2) We must add the measures minimizing the learning deficiency to the teachers' guide and resources which are used in encouragement of learning and teachers' training. (3) We must develop the instructing materials to supplement the learning deficiency for the students who entered school in 2006 and 2007. As practicing above points, we will be able to reduce time loss in studying and teaching the same contents and to supplement the omitted contents.

The purpose of this study was to analyze field application of science subject competences of the 2015 revised curriculum for the second year of application. For this purpose, a survey with 133 elementary school teachers, and in-depth interviews with 10 teachers were conducted. According to the results, elementary school teachers had a positive awareness toward the science subject competence, which is a characteristic of the 2015 revised science curriculum, and teachers were applying the science subject competence to their own classes. This tendency was stronger in teachers in science-leading schools than in teachers in regular schools. Teachers wanted support for applying science subject competencies to their classes. To support this, it is necessary to provide the curriculum materials focused on science subject competencies, reinforce teacher training on competence-related curriculum, and activate the professional teacher community.

This study examined three elementary school computing curriculum - the CSTA K-12 computer science standards, the computing programme of the national curriculum in England, and the 2015 national curriculum in Korea - focusing on the educational objectives with the perspective of the revision of Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. The CSTA K-12 computer science standards mainly addressed applying procedural knowledge and using digital technology is the main theme. The computing programme in England concentrated on understanding factual and conceptual knowledge of computer science, such as algorithms. The 2015 national curriculum also addressed applying procedural knowledge, but the main focus is making softwares and robots. The findings of this comparative analysis suggest that it is needed to set up concrete educational objectives for lower grade and make them related to the secondary education to make more coherent elementary-level learning objectives. And elementary-level computing learning objectives are needed to be organized with the perspective of knowledge and cognitive process level.

전국의 112개 중학교의 213명의 과학 교사들과 43명의 사범대학 교수들의 평정과 자기 보고를 토대로 제 6차 중학교 과학 교육과정과 그 운영에 대해 조사하였다. 조사 문항들은 과학 교육과정의 네 단계와 조사 항목별로 분류되었다. 제 6차 중학교 과학 교육과정의 계획 단계에서 제 6차 중학교 교육과정의 '목표'와 '내용 체계 내용'은 탐구 활동의 강화라는 개정 방침에 비추어 적절하였다. 그러나, 학습 분량은 적정화되지 못하였고, 방법은 제대로 실현되기 어려웠다. 문서화 단계에서 '목표', '내용 체계','내용', '방법', '평가'는 중학교 과학을 지도하는 데 실질적인 도움을 줄 수 있다고 보기 어려웠다. 시행 단계에서, 중학교 과학 교사들은 지역 사회 문제를 소재로 활용하지 못하였으며, 학습 집단 조직의 다양화, 평가 도구의 공동 개발, 학생들의 개인차를 고려한 수업 및 프로그램의 운영을 실천하지 못하였다. 이에는 학습 분량의 과다, 자료의 미비, 지원의 부족 등이 원인이 되었다. 마지막으로 제 6차 중학교 과학 교육과정의 실현 단계에서, 제 6차 교육과정에 따라 학습한 학생들은 그 이전의 학생들과 비교하여 상대적으로 높은 성취를 보이지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이 논문은 1996년 한국과학재단 국제공동연구비 (966-1300-001-2) 지원에 의해 수행된 연구 결과 일부이다.

The focus of this dissertation is on the comparative Analysis of Questions in the 'Matter Units of Elementary Science Textbook between the 7th Curriculum and the Revised Curriculum Year 2007. The results of the comparative Analysis in the dissertation are as follows: There were more closed questions than open questions in these elementary science textbooks both of the 7th Curriculum and the Revised Curriculum Year 2007. Cognitive-memory questions were the most frequently asked in all grade levels. In the Revised Curriculum Year 2007, Convergent thinking questions presented with higher rate than the 7th Curriculum. Divergent thinking questions and evaluative thinking questions was presented with a relatively lower rate than the 7th Curriculum. Question types were applied based on the characteristics of each unit rather than on children's developmental characteristics.

In this study, the gender-role stereotyping of the texts and the illustrations in the elementary science textbooks developed under the 2009 Revised National Curriculum was analyzed, and the results were compared with those of the 2007 Revised National Curriculum. In the texts, there were significant differences between boys and girls in the frequencies of texts, two types of learning activities such as scientific inquiry and emotional expression, and housekeeping activity. Women outnumbered men in housekeeping activity, but they were much less than men to perform outdoor and professional activities. In the illustrations, there were not significant differences by gender in pupils, and these results are desirable in terms of achieving balance between boys and girls. However, the textbooks were found to favor the illustrations of men especially in outdoor and professional activities. Women also performed more in housekeeping activity. Compared with the adult results of previous curriculum, these results were not improved at all.

In this study, the illustrations in 16 elementary science textbooks developed under the 2007 Revised National Curriculum were analyzed in the aspect of gender-role stereotyping, and the results were compared with those of the 7th National Curriculum. The frequencies of male and female who appeared on textbook illustrations were counted, and the types of activities and the characters of them were analyzed. Most pupils were found to be active, and female pupils appearing in the textbooks were more than male pupils. In all types of activities for pupils, the difference between male and female was decreased compared with that of the 7th National Curriculum. Male and female pupils were illustrated in learning activities with almost equal frequencies, but male pupils were still more frequently represented than female pupils in other activities. Gender difference in adults was increased and the difference was statistically significant. Gender difference in houseworks was not large, but the difference in outdoor activities was statistically significant. Especially, the jobs of adults were illustrated as male-centered, and scientists appearing in the textbook illustrations were also mostly male.
