This study investigated the effects of variations in the kinetic structure on the science knowledge acquisition and analyzed the kinetic structure of a sience classroom communication. According to the rationale of the kinetic structure theory, a communication with high structure would facilitate greater knowledge acquisition than that with low structure. To testify that hypothesis, a modified non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group design was used. Four classes(8th grade), two classes for each sex, were selected. On the topic of 'Moon and Macs', two tape-recorded lessons differing in the kinetic structure were developed. Each lessons played 14 minutes long. One of them was high structure(B ̄₁ = 0.48) and the other was low structure(B ̄₁ = 0.19). The results showed that the students with high structure lesson achieved greater than those with low structure lesson(F = 7.03, p $lt; .01). But when the results were analyzed by sex, only boy students' achievement showed a significant difference between low and high structure groups(F = 9.54, p $lt;.01). The results of this study suggest that a high structure communication will facilitate the science learning in the case of boy students. On the other hand, an actual classroom communication on the topic of `Moon and planets' was tape-recorded from a middle school science class(9th grade) and lasted 45 minutes long. It was analyzed by Anderson's and Kim's methods of the kinetic structure analysis. The grand mean fundamental coefficient of the whole communication was 0.20, and the grand mean weighted coefficient was 0.84. This communication showed high mean progression density(D ̄s= 0.88 with (NAC) ̄=1.14). Thus, in general, this verbal communication had low structure and high progression. Therefore, it can be concluded that this classroom communication will give the students some difficulties in their learning.
The purpose of the present study is to figure out the characteristics and differences among eight textbooks of high school Science I B (Earth Science) among all currently used high school Earth Science textbooks (Science I B and Earth Science) published in accordance with the fifth amended high school curriculum by comparing and analysing the contents in them The conclusions are as follows 1. The contents of each unit are not much different among textbooks since they are written according to the curriculum ordinance and textbook guidelines of the Ministry of Education. However, the contents and the sizes of the newly introduced unit 1 on $quot;Exploration of the Earth$quot; are found to vary significantly from one to another. This unit is also found to be rather formally and inattentatively written. 2. In many instances certain identical concepts and phenomena are found to be described using different terminology in different textbooks. 3. Some physical quantities are found to be described in different ways for the identical conceps and phenomena in different textbooks. 4. The amount of pages devoted to each field is found to be ordered as follows : Geology, Astronomy, Meteorology, Geophysics, Oceanography, etc. However, the relative amounts vary significantly among different textbooks with exceptions of textbooks A and D. This is believed to be caused by preponderence of authors in certain fields instead of balanced composition. Therefore, the education authorities are urged to unify the terminology and physical quantities that are used differently for identical concept and phenomena by consulting with textbook writers and professional institutions so that efficient teaching and learning can be achieved in the school. In addition, considering the multi-science nature of Earth Science which emphasizes the interdisciplinary approach as well as the importance of Earth Science as a basic science, the textbook should be written without preponderating of certain field over others.
The purpose of this study is to estimate rainfall around the district of Mt. Kumgang using several orographic factors where rainfall can not be measured routinely. Orographic factors used are height-reading, direction of main valley, relative relief, degree of exposure, and direction of maximum slope. The distribution of calculated rainfall around Mt. Kumgang coincides well with that of observed one and shows much rainfall in summer.
This study made use of the data about days and amount of precipitation from 1906 to 1985 measured by the 34 local weather stations under the Korea Meteorological Service. Based on these data for eighty years, the probaility as well as intensity of precipitation of the probability of probability and intensity of precipitation was studied. The findings of this study are as follows The annual average probability of precipitation is 30.5%. 45.0% probability in July was the highest and 22.0% probability in October the lowest. The annual average intensity of precipitation was 10.5㎜/day. 18.0 ㎜/day in August was most intense and 4.4 ㎜/day in January and December least intense. Finally, the precipitation intensity from January to August increased gradually and decreased from August to December.
Punch Bowl basin is analysed for the earth science and terrain factors such as geology, geophysical features, topography and water systems. The study area is composed of two kinds of rocks : Jurrasic granite in the central part and Precambrian metamorphic complex in the marginal part of she basin. The depth of the base rock is about 20 to 40 meters below the surface at the center of the basin. The process which has formed the basin may be the differential weathering of the rocks. The morphology of the slope of the basin is concave and the slope is about 20° above the nickpoint and about 5° below it. The water system of the region is very poor in drainage pattern.
A computer program for automatic correlation of marine magnetic profiles is developed and tested. This method first analyze the power spectra of two series, a short one selected from the reference profile and a long one chosen from the other profile, to obtain the direction and rate of stretching and then correlation is made. The method appears to be relatively sensitive to noise contained in data, but it saves a large amount of computing time as compared with the iterative stretching and cross-correlation method. And the method is specially effective for correlating profiles whose spreading rates and direction are variable within limited range of change. Reduction to pole technique has been applied to marine magnetic profiles to correct asymmetric patterns of the data due to different magnetization direction. Correlation made between pole-reduced data sets give improved results in many cases.
The bottom sediments and water samples of Kangjin bay area, southern coast of Korea, which is characterized by semi-enclosed and mesotidal regime were analyzed to delineate the source and transportation of surface sediments, the characteristics of surface sediments and depositional environment. The surface sediments which consist of silt, sandy silt, gravelly muddy sand, slightly gravelly muddy sand, gravelly sand, gravelly mud, and mud in the study area, could be defined with three fades ; sand fades, mud fades and gravel facies. The depositional environment is interpreted as channel and mud flat. Based on the occurrence of silicoflagellates in biogenic sediments and mineral constitnents including quartz, orthoclase and plagioclase, and suspended Particulate matter, it is indicated that the most of the surface sediments in Kangjin bay are transported from Tamjin river, and the minor part by tidal current after reworking and transportation from offshore area.
This study is conducted in order to investigate the stratigraphy of the Cretaceous sedimentry rocks, trending NS and NNE-SSE, which is distributed in the Neungju Basin located in Jangseong-Sinangun Jangsando, Damyang-Hwasut~Jangheunggun Daedog, Gurye-Seungjugun Songchijae-Seungjugun Haeryong. The result of this study are as follows: 1. Bed rocks in study area are composed of gneisses, schists, quartzite, shistose granite and granite ; sedimentary rocks are mainly tuff, shale, sandstone and conglomerate in ascending order igneous rocks are andesite and rhyolite. The reddish shale and sandstone are alternated, and conglomerate are polygenetic ones in all Iocalities except Jangheunggun Daedog localities. 2. The stratigraphy of the study area can be expressed as Bed rocks, Ingog tuff, Seoyuri formation, Jangdong tuff, Uchi conglomerate, Dado tuff and Mudeungsan volcanic rocks in ascending order. 3. The geologic age of sedimentary rocks in the study area is upper Cretaceous and correlated with the Yucheon Formation of the Gyeongsang Supergroup
Planktonic crustaceans were collected monthly around Hamduck, northern part of Cheju Island from April 1989 to March 1990. Occurrence of mean individuals (244 rods. m^(-3)) from inner~ay stations was 2.4 times higher than that (102 rods. m^(-3)) in outer-bay stations. Mean biomass (wet weight, 18.6 mgm^(-3)) from inner-bay stations was 3.6 times higher than that(5.2 mgm^(-3)) in outer-bay ones. The estimated mean values (251.5 ㎍Cm^(-3)d^(-1)) of daily production from inner-bay, having 141.1 ㎍Cm^(-3)d^(-1) of annual mean, was 2.8 times higher than that (90 ㎍Cm^(-3)d^(-1)) in outer-bay. The ratio of daily production of biomass with average value 0.17 suggested a high turnover rate to maintain a temperate costal ecosystems, in spite of a low biomass around Cheju Island.
Horizontal scale and movement of tidal front zone, front in the western regions of Korea in summer are studied in conjunction with numerical model and NOAH-11 satellite data analysis(AVHRR multi -channel sea surface temperature). In numerical model result, tidal mixing is dominant in the southeast region of Hwanghae, near field of Taean, Kyunggi bay, near field of Jangsan cape, Seoan bay, mid-east Chinese coast. But the results of the NOAH infra-red image analysis show that low surface temperature by tidal mixing is clear in the southeast region of Hwanghae, near field of Taean, near field of Jangsan cape but not in the Kyunggi bay, Seoan bay and mid- east Chinese coast in August and September, temperature gradient of frontal zone in the southwest region of Hwanghae is 0.05°∼0.1℃/㎞ and tidal mixing is dominant in the near field of Maenggal kundo and Hajodo and low surface temperature extends southwesrward. Early in August, west-east front(0.2°∼0.6℃/㎞) on the south region of Jindo moves northward and persists at east half on the joining line of Jindo and Sohuksando late September. The axis of front on the west region of Jindo is northeast~sorthwest early in August and moves westward until late September The tidal mixing in the near field of Jangsan cape is dominant in the region between Jangsan cape and Baengyougdo early in August and between Baengyougdo and Daechungkundo in late September. The axis of front on the west region of Jangsan cape is south-north and its temperature gradient is 0.2°∼0.4℃/㎞.
In order to facilitate correct understanding for active fault which is widely used to be future destructive earthquake source, defination, criteria of identification, characteristics, and estimation for active fault are reviewed. Typical examples for correlations between active fault and seismicity are also presented. An optimum strategy to identify active fault and make clear the relation between seismicity and mapped faults in the Korean Peninsula are proposed.
