The purpose of this study is to examine how pre-service teachers' digital capabilities and content knowledge for teaching pi appear and are strengthened in the process of developing digital-based teaching and learning materials of pi, and to derive implications for pre-service teacher education. To this end, the researchers analyzed the process of two pre-service teachers developing exploratory activity materials for teaching pi using block coding of AlgeoMath program. Through the analysis results, it was confirmed that AlgeoMath' block coding activities provided an experience of expressing and expanding the digital capabilities of pre-service teachers, an opportunity to deepen the content knowledge of pi, and to recognize the problems and limitations of the digital learning environment. It was also suggested that the development of digital materials using block coding needs to be used to strengthen digital capabilities of pre-service teachers, and that the curriculum knowledge needs to be emphasized as knowledge necessary for the development of digital teaching and learning materials in pre-service teacher education.

According to Piaget, children aged 11 are in the middle of concrete operation period and formal operation period. So, it is necessary to adopt the Learning Cycle Model (LCM) which helps students improve their cognitive development. After determining the test for the Science Concept of Matter (SCOM), the experimental group showed higher average than the comparative group in the post-test. In the sound understanding, the experimental group showed higher ratio than the comparative group. And in the ratio of imperfect, wrong understanding and no response, the experimental group was lower than the comparative group. On the questions that were needed the complicated inquiry, many students of both groups still couldn't find the fundamental cause. In forming the scientific conceptualization, there was a meaningful difference (p < .001) after post-test Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) with pre-test result. After determining the test for the Test Inquiry Science Process (TISP), the experimental group showed higher average than the comparative group in the post-test. In the category of basic inquiry process which is needed in concrete operation, there was a meaningful difference (p < .05). In the category of unified inquiry process which is needed in formal operation, they showed no meaningful difference (p > .05). Therefore, applying the LCM to the chapter of 'Solution and Dissolving' is more effective on improving the scientific conceptualization and on helping the concrete operation abilities than the teacher centered learning.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of jigsaw cooperative learning class of elementary pre-service teacher on task commitment and creative personality. This study established an twelve-week period of experimental treatment from september to november 2019, and the students who participated in the study formed a research group of 121 students in 2nd grade of their advanced classes who are attending the second semester of b university of education and taking courses in 'teaching research 2'. B university of education is singleness class that doesn't have compare group, so this study is constituted only study group. Applying based-jigsaw cooperative learning class to study group, before and after concept of task commitment test and creative personality test is performed. The results of the study were as follows. First, the study group applied jigsaw cooperative learning-based science class had statistically significant differences in task commitment (p<.05). Second, the study group applied jigsaw cooperative learning-based science class had statistically significant differences in creative personality efficacy(p<.05). Third, jigsaw cooperative learning-based science class of pre-service teachers have a very good feeling. Through such study results, the study could figure out that the class applying jigsaw cooperative learningbased science class has positive effect on concept of task commitment and creative personality efficacy.

This study investigated the effects of teaching-learning lesson plan using cognitive acceleration instructional strategies applied to the unit, 'The Light and Shadow' in elementary school. Two classes of the second grade elementary students (N=63) in Chungcheongbukdo districts were assigned to control and treatment groups each, and were taught about 'The Light and Shadow' for 8 class hours. For the treatment group, teaching-learning lesson plan using cognitive acceleration instructional strategies developed by this research was applied. The traditional instruction by textbook and teacher's guides was used for the control group. All students were tested with the test for concept of the shadow and the test for academic achievement about the unit. As the result of the post-test, the scores of the treatment group were higher than those of the control group. However, it was not statistically meaningful difference. The scores of the treatment group were significantly higher than those of the control group in the delayed-post-test for concept of the shadow. No significant interaction was observed with respect to the students' gender, instruction and pre-level for the concept of the shadow. Data analysis indicated that the scores of the treatment group were significantly higher than those of the control group in the post-test and delayed- post-test for the concept of the shadow in the area of object permanence. Our research work shows the effectiveness of the teaching-learning lesson using cognitive acceleration instructional strategies for the development for concept of the shadow for elementary school students, and suggests the necessity for this kind of teaching-learning program in the fields.

The purpose of this study is to apply the PEOE class model that can enhance students' scientific creative problem-solving ability and self-directed learning ability in the middle school science subject and analyze the effects of it on students' long- and short-term retention, scientific creative problem-solving ability, and self-directed learning characteristics. And the paper has gained the following results: First, according to the result of analysis through the pre-test, post-test, and delay test to examine the effects of PEOE-based class on learners' long- and short-term retention, it is found to be statistically significant in the significant level of .05. In other words, the class using PEOE influences learners' short-term retention significantly, but it is even more effective in transmitting the concept that students acquire into their long-term memory. Second, according to the result of analysis through the pre-test and post-test to examine the effects of PEOE-based class on learners' scientific creative problem-solving ability, it is found to be statistically significant in the significant level of .05 in general. However, 'elaboration' and 'originality', the subfactors of scientific creative problem-solving ability, do not indicate significant effects. Third, according to the result of analysis through the pre-test and post-test to examine the effects of PEOE-based class on learners' self-directed learning characteristics, it is found to be statistically significant in the significant level of .05 as a whole. However, 'openness' and 'future-oriented self-understanding', the subfactors of self-directed learning characteristics, do not exert significant effects. Based on the above study results, it can be concluded that PEOE-based class is more effective for learners' academic achievement in science, scientific creative problem-solving ability, and self-directed learning characteristics than lecture-method instruction regarding the middle school science unit of 'The Properties of Air and Weather Change'.

This study aimed at finding points of improvement in teaching expertise by analyzing the question patterns that appeared during teaching demonstrations which applied science teaching models prepared by a pre-service biology teacher. The question analysis frame for analyzing question types were categorized largely into the question types of Category 1 (questions in cognitive domain, questions with research function, questions in affective domain), Category 2 (repeated questions, questions for narrowing the range, practice questions), and Category 3 (questions on student activity progress, memory questions, and thinking questions). The results of analyzing question patterns from five different science teaching models revealed a high frequency of questions in the fields of cognition and memory. For the circular learning model, questions from the cognitive field appeared the most often, while, student activity progressive questions in particular were used mostly in the 'preliminary concept introduction stage' of the circular learning model and the 'secondary exploratory stage', in which experiments were conducted, and displayed the characteristics of these stages. The discovery learning model combined the courses of observation, measurement, classification and generalization, but, during teaching demonstrations, memory questions turned up the most, while the portion of inquisitive function questions was low. There were many questions from the inquisitive learning model, and, compared to other learning models, many exploratory function questions turned up during the 'experiment planning stage' and 'experiment stage'. Definitional questions and thought questions for the STS learning model turned up more than other learning models. During the change of concept learning model, the five concepts of students were stimulated and the modification of scientific concepts was very much aided by using many memory questions.

The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of using the concept cartoons about middle school students' science attitude in the lessons on water cycle unit. For the purpose, they were developed to the learning program with concept cartoon and the instrument for the science attitude which has four categories; attitudes about science, attitudes about science subject, learning motives for science subject, and scientific attitudes. The research method was designed to quasi-experimental design. The concept cartoon was provided to the experimental group during nine lessons. Before and after the lessons in all two groups, the pre-post tests with the instrument were performed. The results from twice t-tests were shown that the domain of learning motives for science subject was only improved. From these, it were indicated that the concept cartoon was not effective all areas in science attitude, therefore the use in science lessons need to be restricted within narrow purpose.
