  • We examined the science education system in North Korea from the elementary to the high schools. We also analyzed the physics textbooks used in North Korea and compared the results with the textbooks used in South Korea. We compared the goal and system of physics education, and the content, order of study, and volume of the textbooks. Physics education starts at the 4th year at the elementary school, and is taught through the whole school years in North Korea. The science process skills are regarded to be important and figures, tables, problem sets, experiments, and sample solutions are exclusively used in the textbooks. Electomagnetism occupies the largest portion in physics textbooks, but subjects related to the application of physics are more stressed. There are a few subjects which are included in the North Korean textbooks but not in the South Korean textbooks. We have compiled about 60 North Korean physics words which are different from the South Korean words used in the textbooks. Overall, there will be not much difficulty in integrating the physics education system and physics textbooks after the two Koreas are unified.

  • In this study recent trends of research about beliefs in physics education were discussed and cultural approaches were suggested. Cultural aspects in the contexts of science education were discussed and diverse aspects of beliefs in physics education-beliefs about nature, physics, learning physics, value and expectation, and learning physics-were analyzed considerating cultural aspects. Finally, directions for future studies about beliefs and cultural approaches in physics education were suggested.

  • According to the previous studies, the science education departments in the college of education should develop better curricula to teach future secondary school teachers in a more professional way As one example of such curricula developments. one important topics of modem physics was integrated to teach the future high school physics teachers In the physics education departments. The title is "The Physics of Solar Constant Measurement The surrounding core physics for this measurements were pulled together with these important points in minds(1) clear goal of learning In the teachers college physics(2) Clear explanation of physics and visualization of important technologies for the high school students(3) these teachings should encourage for the students to use the knowledge and technologies learned through the class toward the industrial applications Korea will move toward one of the heavily industrialized countries in the world where the physics education can become key player to manufacture physics based products. Therefore developments of physics curricula which relates teachers college, high school, and industry will become more and more Important.

  • The contents of current physics textbooks in Korean high school and those of the forergn country (America and Japan)have been investigated. Especially the contents related to energy have been examined. Comparing and analyzing the results, we have suggested the method of improvement of the energy education in high school curriculum.
