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

최근 과학교사교육 연구는 교사의 전문성과 관련하여 지식과 실행, 그리고 지식과 실행의 연관성을 탐구해오고 있다. 이 논문은 최근 교사 지식 연구의 주류를 이루는 두 연구 관점인 ‘교수내용지식’과 ‘실천적 지식’에 대해 재고하였다. 구체적으로, 두 연구 관점의 인식론적 정향은 무엇이며, 교사의 지식이 실행과 연관하여 본질, 형성 및 발달에 대해 어떻게 다루어지는지, 그리고 교사 변화에 관한 어떠한 새로운 통찰력을 제공하는지를 살펴본다. 이를 통하여, 두 연구 관점의 공통논리와 차이점을 고찰하고, 교사교육 연구와 관련된 이론적 및 실제적 시사점을 살펴본다. 그리고 앞으로 과학 교사의 지식과 실행에 관한 연구가 나아가야 할 연구방향을 제시하고자 한다.

BackgroundIn many educational settings, professional development (PD) for in-service teachers assumes particular significance in the wake of curricula reform. This is so that teachers are enabled to become familiar with new competencies that are aligned with new learning standards, and also that teachers may be supported in actively reflecting on their practice. In recent years, some models of PD that incorporate the qualities of sustainability, collaboration and classroom-based research have ga

This is a qualitative review of research literature on the expertise of science teachers. The study first identified a common point of view which the relevant literature shared about teacher expertise. Research methods employed in previous studies were then categorized into four groups, and the characteristics of each group of research methods were discussed. The groups of research methods included uses of questionnaires and interviews, visual representations, classroom observations and discours

The purpose of this study was to interpret students’ participation in terms of social and argumentation norms to improve understanding of social interaction in scientific argumentation. Therefore, the study sought to identify social and argumentation norms formed in group argumentation and to explore changes in students’ participation as lessons progressed. Twelve lessons that included argumentation were delivered to 44 eighth graders in Korea. In each lesson, small group argumentation tasks wer

This study aimed to explore the effect on group dynamics of statements associated with deep learning approaches (DLA) and their contribution to cognitive collaboration and model development during group modeling of blood circulation. A group was selected for an in-depth analysis of collaborative group modeling. This group constructed a model in a similar fashion to a target model and demonstrated within-group dialogic interaction patterns. It was found that statements associated with DLA contrib

The purpose of this study is to identify the epistemological features and model qualities depending on model evaluation levels and to explore the reasoning process behind high-level evaluation through small group interaction about blood circulation. Nine groups of three to four students in the eighth grade participated in the modeling practice. Their group models, which were represented by discourse and blood circulation diagrams, were analyzed for the development of the framework that informed

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
