In this study, the attitudes of about 1200elementary and secondary students towards sciences lessons and scientists were investigated. For the survey of this study, simillar numbers of students in Seoul were selected from the 5th, 8th and 11th grades and from both sexes. For the attitudes towards science lessons, in the survey questionnaire, there were questions on the type of science lesson which students prefer and on student's assessment of science lessons which they receive. For the attitudes towards scientists, there were questions on scientists whom students respect, on students assessment of scientists and on students assessment of themselves. Results of this study can be summarized as follows: (1) A great majority of students prefered the laboratory-based to classroom-based lessons, but this tendency was less apparent in olderstudents.More boys, compared with girls, prefered laboratory-based study. (2) The student's assessment of science lessons was positive in the elementary school, neutral in the middle school and negative in the high school level. Boys showed more positive attitudes towards the study of science. (3) Apparently more girls than boys mentioned Madam Curie as a scientist whom they respect, Students tended to respect scientists in terms of their personalities rather than their cognitive abilities. (4) Students tended to assess that scientist's are more able than themselves in cognitive areas while themselves are better in affective areas. The gap between student's asessments of scientists and that of themselves became bigger in high school students. The gap between boy's assessments of themselves and girl's assessments of themselves was bigger in high school level than in middle school. (5) The decline of students attitude towards science lessons was bigger than their attitude towards scientists.

This study aimed to analyze the degree of concern and satisfaction of elementary students about school science lesson. For this study, the survey was carried out on 660 primary school students in the 4th, 5th and 6th grades. The results of this study are as follows; The degree of concern and satisfaction of primary school students about school science lesson was higher than usual label. And the degree of satisfaction was higher than the degree of concern. This means that school science lessons are sufficient to the expectations of the students and are desirable. The correlation of the degree of concern about school science lesson and the degree of satisfaction about school science lessons was an affirmative interrelation. This means that the more the degree of concern about school science lesson is higher, the more the degree of satisfaction about school science lesson is higher. The students who were younger, had higher interest in science showed a higher degree of concern and satisfaction about school science lessons, but there were no differences when it came to sex. This means that students are provided the experience in which they are able to do the various scientific activities and they are able to study science joyfully. Consequently, teachers should teach students well by grasping the degree of concern and satisfaction of primary school students about school science lessons.

The purpose of this research was to enhance the understanding of scientific thinking of $5^{th}$ graders of elementary school through conducting investigative analyses on the students' associations with regard to illustrations on science textbooks and to provide basic data that are needed for the teachers teaching science in classrooms to reorganize textbook illustrations suitable to the realities of science contents and realms. In order to achieve the research purposes, subject $5^{th}$ grade students were asked to write down what they associated with the illustrations on the matter part of the $5^{th}$ science textbooks of elementary school: among 14 illustrations, a half of them were after lessons and other half from before lessons. The types of students' learning goal statements according to Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives were compared with the learning objectives provided in teachers' guide. The differences between before and after lessons in associated words which students used responding to given illustrations were investigated. Students' responses were analyzed in terms of how their associations were consistent with what their preference of learning objectives would be as well. Students variables including their achievement levels and gender were used as group variables in order to locate their effects on differences in their associations before and after the lessons. It was found that students manipulated the given illustrations more variously with more explanations before the lessons than after. After the lessons students tended to describe the illustrations more homogeneously and made theirs stick on the given direction by the textbooks. The implications for how school teaching affected to students' perception was made.

The purpose of this qualitative case study was to investigate the 'structure' of an elementary school teacher's practical knowledge concerning science experiment lessons. A female elementary teacher in the early career years participated in the study, and video recordings of her science experiment lessons as well as audio-taped interviews with her were analyzed by means of Elbaz's framework. The teacher expressed six images of science experiment lessons: 'Science is difficult', 'Experiments are dangerous', 'Experiments are accurate', 'A science experiment takes a long time', 'Science experiments are interesting', and 'Children are little scientists.' These images were supported by several principles and rules, most of which were clearly described. Among the images, principles, and rules, there were complex relationships with some working in synergy and some conflicting. In case of the image 'Children are little scientists', its subordinate principles and rules were not fully realized in the classroom. Implications for science teaching reform and science education research were discussed.

학교 과학교육에 대해 학생들이 어떤 인식을 지니고 있는가를 밝히는 것은 과학교육에서 중요한 부분이다. 본 연구는 학생들이 학교 과학수업에 대해 어떤 가치를 인식하고 있는지, 학생들은 과학수업의 어떤 양상에 호응하는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 중 고등학생으로 구성된 16명의 학생과 반구조화된 심층 면담을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 절반 정도의 학생 참여자들은 모든 학생이 과학을 배울 필요는 없다는 관점을 가지고 있었는데, 이 학생들은 '모든 이를 위한 과학교육'의 필요성을 판단하는데 과학에 대한 내재적 흥미와 과학 분야 진로 희망을 결정 요인으로 고려하였다. 이는 흥미와 진로 희망 외에 과학을 배워야 하는 다른 이유나 가치가 크게 호응받지 못함을 보여주었다. 과학수업에 호응하기 위해서 과학수업은 학습자와의 관련성 면에서 학생들의 진로, 흥미, 호기심, 능력, 실생활, 경험, 점수와 관련되어야 한다. 또 과목의 특성상 학생들은 이해를 달성해야 하고, 활동 면에서 실험 활동이 증대될 필요가 있다. 과학 수업은 내용과 맥락 면에서 실생활과 관련되고, 학생들의 흥미와 관심이 반영되며, 새로 배우는 것은 이미 알고 있는 것과 적절히 연결되는 맥락에서 제시될 필요가 있다. 학생 참여자들은 과학 분야로 진출하지 않을 학생들에게는 과학수업의 적합성이 부족한 것으로 판단하여 현재의 과학교육과정이 '모든 이를 위한 과학교육' 이라는 이상과 잘 맞는지 검토될 필요가 있음을 보여주었다. 이러한 문제점을 근본적으로 극복하기 위해서는 학생들이 교육과정의 적합성 논의 과정에 참가할 필요가 있다.
