Abstract The What is Happening in this Class (WIHIC) questionnaire and the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI) were used to describe classroom learning environment and the teachers' behaviour in Korea. The three objectives of the study were to provide validation data for the Korean versions of the WIHIC and QTI, investigate associations between students' attitude to science and their perceptions of the classroom environment as assessed by the WIHIC and the QTI, and investigate gender-rela

Abstract This paper describes an investigation in Korea of the extent to which a new general science curriculum, reflecting a constructivist view, has influenced the classroom learning environment in grade 10 science. The Constructivist Learning Environment Survey (CLES) was selected for the investigation and translated into Korean. Other objectives of this study were to determine whether the Korean version of the CLES is valid and reliable, differences between students’ perceptions of their act

Intelligence and creativity are accounted for in terms of two different mental operations referred to as ‘convergent thinking’ and ‘divergent thinking’, respectively. Nevertheless, psychometric evidence on the relationship between intelligence and creativity has been controversial. To clarify their relationship, we characterized the relationship between diverse components of intelligence and creativity through the administration of psychometric tests on a large sample (WAIS, RPM, and TTCT‐figura

Abstract In this study, we examined students’ epistemological and positional framing during small group scientific modeling to explore their context‐dependent perceptions about knowledge, themselves, and others. We focused on two small groups of Korean eighth‐grade students who participated in six modeling activities about excretion. The two groups were purposefully selected because the students showed contrasting patterns of collaboration in modeling activities and sometimes showed significant

Science teachers' beliefs about science and school science and their perceptions of the science laboratory learning environment were investigated with an assumption that science laboratory teaching would be affected by science teachers' beliefs. Likert-scale questionnaires of BASSSQ and SLEI were used in this study. The major findings were as follows: 1. Science teachers showed inconsistent beliefs about science and school science. Their responses reflected a patch-like view of postmodern episte

본 연구는 일반계 고등학교 학생의 과학 선호도와 이에 영향을 미치는 인과 요인을 조사하고, 남학생과 여학생 사이에 나타나는 차이 분석을 통해 과학 선호도 증진을 위한 방안을 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다. 고등학생의 진로 선택과 밀접한 관련을 가질 수 있도록 과학 선호도를 감정 반응, 행동 의지, 가치 확립 등의 세 범주로 구분하고, 이에 영향을 미치는 인과 요인은 개인적, 교육적, 사회적 요인 등의 세 범주로 구분한 다음, 각 범주를 평가할 문항들로 구성된 설문지를 개발하였다. 8개 고등학교의 남학생 429명과 여학생 449 명에게 설문 조사를 한 결과, 과학 선호도 점수는 3.16으로 그다지 높지 않았다. 그러나 과학 분야 와 의약학 분야의 진로를 선택하고자 하는 학생의 과학 선호도는 다른 학생들에 비해 높았다. 과학 선호도는 남학생과 여학생 사이에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 없었지만, 인과 요인의 평균 점수는 남학생이 여학생보다 높게 나타났다. 공변량 구조 분석을 이용하여 과학 선

Assessment of science laboratory environment was conducted with 539 students at middle and high school. Science Laboratory Environment Inventory(SLEI) was used as an instrument. The major findings of this study are as follows. 1. Mean scores obtained on each scale in the actual and preferred version of SLEI were relatively low, particularly on the scale of open-endedness, integration, and material environment. 2. Mean scores obtained on each scale in the actual version were lower than those in t

The purpose of this research is to suggest the way to promote housewives' understanding of science and technology, based on the survey results of the attitude toward science and technology, the scientific attitude, and the interest in science and technology of housewives in Korea. The questionnaire was developed by researchers and administered to housewives who live in Seoul to get basic information. Housewives showed slightly positive attitudes toward science and technology, and similarly posit

The purpose of this study was to investigate high school students' preference for science(PS) and its causal factors in terms of gender difference, and to suggest the way to improve students' preference for science. A questionnaire to evaluate the PS of high school students and its causal factors was specially designed by researchers. It was administered to 429 boys and 449 girls in eight high schools. The average score of the PS was 3.16 of 5.00 which was not high, but the PS scores of students

The purpose of this study was to assess the attitudes of secondary school students in Korea toward science-technology related issues. A questionnaire was designed in which students were confronted with personal, global, and philosophical levels of arguments, which were composed of three against and three in favor of each eight issues, i.e., use of antibiotics, family planning, transplant of organs, genetic engineering, use of microorganisms. exploitation of the sea, land reclamation from the sea

The quality of science teachers is one of the most important factors to improve the science education in secondary schools. In this study the current status of preservice education of secondary science teachers was surveyed and the directions for the improvement were suggested as follows: 1. The purposes of departments of science education have to be partially revised to include other education programs related to science education than preservice training courses of science teachers. 2.
