본 연구의 목적은 초등학교 6학년 학생들의 공간능력과 천체운동개념 및 과학탐구능력의 관계를 알아보고 학생들에게 천체운동개념을 쉽게 이해시키기 위한 교수·학습 전략을 찾는데 도움을 주고자 하는데 있다. 연구 결과 첫째, 공간능력과 천체운동개념, 과학탐구능력 성취도에서 남학생이 여학생보다 약간 높게 나타났으나 그 차이는 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 둘째, 공간능력과 천체운동개념과의 영향력을 분석한 결과 공간능력은 학생들의 천체운동 개념 이해에 영향력을 갖고 있었다. 천체운동개념에 영향을 미치는 공간능력 하위 요소는 도형유추, 도막세기, 회전등이었다. 셋째, 공간능력은 과학탐구능력의 성취도에 매우 높은 영향력을 갖고 있었으며, 특히 과학탐구능력에 영향을 미치는 공간능력 하위요소는 도막세기가 가장 높았고, 단일요소보다는 여러 요소들이 상호 복합적으로 작용할 때 그 영향력이 더 크게 나타났다.

Since the introduction of teaching English as a regular subject into primary schools in 1997, it has been said that the discrepancy between students who are receiving private instruction at learning institutions and private tutoring and those who are not receiving private English instruction is steadily increasing. The purpose of this study was to investigate what impact private English instruction had on English achievement and attitudes of fifth- and sixth-grade students in primary schools. For this purpose, an English achievement test was developed based on the 7th National Curriculum and administered, along with two attitude questionnaires: One questionnaire was administered to 696 fifth- and sixth-grade primary school students, and the other questionnaire given to 12 primary school teachers of the students. The results showed that students started learning English at the average age 7.9-years-old and about 80% of the students were receiving a variety of private English instruction. In line with expectations, tutored students outperformed non-tutored students on the English achievement test. In addition most of the teachers, as well as students, thought it helpful to learn English through private English instruction. One implication from the results suggests that to ensure quality English language teaching at public schools, the government should put forth efforts to nurture qualified English teachers through intensive teacher training.

The present study investigated the hypothesis that a extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) partially suppresses the synthesis of human growth hormone (HGH) in a group of 28 primary schoolchildren living nearby and 60 primary schoolchildren aged 12 years living far away from overhead transmission power lines from December 2003 to April 2004 in Seoul, Korea. The mean personal exposure levels of the primary schoolchildren living nearby overhead transmission power line were 0.37 μT, whereas the levels for the primary schoolchildren living away from overhead transmission power line was 0.05 μT. From simple analyses, the mean growth hormone levels in the primary schoolchildren living nearby were lower than away from overhead transmission power line, and statistically significant differences in the levels of the growth hormone (p = 0.0316), whereas not statistically significant differences in the levels of the growth hormone related to the distance from residence to power line less and more than 100 m by cut-off point (p = 0.4017). In conclusion, these results may indicate that urinary levels of nocturnal growth hormone are altered in primary schoolchildren exposed to extremely low frequency magnetic field at overhead transmission power line.

목적 : 초등학교 학생들이 메고 다니는 책가방 무게와 종류에 대해 알아보고, 체중에 비례한 책가방 무게의 비율과 책가방무게로 기인하는 통증의 경험을 조사 하는 것이다. 연구방법 : 본 연구는 강원도 원주시에 소재한 1개의 초등학교에서 513명의 학생을 대상으로 실시하였다. 등교시 학생들의 책가방 무게와 몸무게, 책가방의 유형, 사물함 사용 여부, 통증 유/무를 조사하였다. 책가방 무게는 저울로 측정하였고 학생들의 몸무게는 학교 자료를 이용하였으며, 그 외의 정보는 인터뷰를 통하여 자료를 수집하였다. 자료 입력 및 분석은 SPSS 윈도우 버전 12.0을 사용하였다. 결과 : 실험에 참여한 학생 중에서 남녀 학생 비율은 여학생이 225명(43.86%), 남학생이 288명(56.14%)이였다. 사물함을 사용하는 학생은 388명(75.63%)이였고, 사물함을 거의 사용하지 않거나 사용하지 않는 경우는 125명(24.37%)이었다. 책가방으로 인해 통증을 경험한 학생은 226명(44.05%)이었으며, 책가방 유형은 양쪽 어깨에 메는 유형이 478명(93.18%), 한쪽 어깨에 메는 유형이 11명(2.14)%이였고, 손으로 드는 유형이 23명(4.48%)이였다. 바퀴가 달린 가방을 사용하는 학생은 단 1명뿐(0.19%)이었다. 학생들이 들고 다니는 평균 책가방의 무게는 3.91 kg으로 학년이 올라 갈수록 증가하였으며 체중에 대한 평균 책가방 무게의 비율은 12.30%였다. 결론 : 본 연구를 통하여 초등학교 학생들의 책가방 무게가 체중에 비해 무거웠으며 통증과의 상관관계는 없었다. 과중한 책가방무게가 잠재적으로 학생들의 근골격계통에서의 문제를 야기 시킬 수 있기에 이를 예방하기 위한 교육적, 인간공학적, 사회와 부모의 관심이 필요하다고 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of strategy training in teaching English for Korean elementary school students. It also attempted to provide some empirical data for more successful strategy training in elementary English education. Sixty six fifth grade elementary school students from two intact classes (33 each) participated in the study as the experimental group and the control group. For 17 weeks, the experimental group was given strategy training in addition to traditional instruction, while the control group was taught in the traditional way only. Some of the major findings are as follows: 1) Strategy-trained group did not show significantly better improvement over the traditionally-taught group in their English proficiency; 2) Strategy-trained group used all categories of learning strategy significantly more frequently at the end of the experimental period than traditionally-taught group; 3) Both the quantity and quality of strategy use was affected by the learner's English proficiency. From these results it was concluded that a strategy training program for elementary school English learners could be fruitful and viable. Suggestions for further studies are presented along with limitations inherent in the present study.

이 연구는 야외 지질 학습에 대한 관찰 및 가설을 분석하여 야외 지질 학습에 대한 방향을 찾아보고자 하는 기초 연구의 성격을 가진 질적 연구이다. 야외 지질 학습장에서의 학습 내용을 분석함으로써 관찰, 가설의 관련성을 연구하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이 연구를 통해 얻은 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 지질학습의 특성상 초등학생들은 대부분 시각에 의존하여 관찰하며, 퇴적 지층 지역의 관찰은 암석 관찰에, 가설은 지질 구조에 관한 가설을 많이 생성하였다. 둘째, 관찰 분류들로 분석 한 결과, 이 연구에서 추가한 관찰 행동 영역인 비교 관찰의 빈도가 높게 나타났으며, 2가지 관찰 행동의 조합으로 나타난 사례의 빈도도 높았다. 셋째, 관찰 유형을 기준으로 보면 해석적 관찰 및 비교 관찰과 조합된 과학적 설명 가설의 비율이 가장 높게 나타났다. 이것은 암석과 지질 구조를 해석하고 다른 것과 비교하여 자신의 사고를 합리화 하려는 경향으로 볼 수 있다. 가설 유형을 기준으로 분석한 결과 과학적 설명 가설이 가장 많은 비율을 차지하였고, 사전 지식이나 선개념을 적용하여 해석하고 설명하려는 경향이 있다고 판단된다.

In the early stages of reading, word decoding skills are prerequisite to reading. Word decoding involves word discrimination, phonemic decoding, and understanding of meaning. In this process, phonemic awareness enables students to examine language independently to manipulate its component sounds, and to use letter-sound correspondences to read and spell words. The 7th national curriculum of English and the primary school English textbooks fail to provide systematic language structure focus to facilitate efficiently student acquisition of the English phonemic system. Therefore, many students suffer from lack of word decoding development as well as encoding development, particularly in the 5th and 6th grades. This study explores the English phonemic awareness of Korean primary school students. To achieve the purpose of this study, a test for phonemic awareness was developed and Korean students' phonemic awareness was examined. The test deals with six areas: phonemic segmentation, phonemic manipulation, syllable splitting, blending, oddity, and invented spelling. The results are as follows: Firstly, many students showed successful results in phonemic segmentation and oddity. However, they have difficulties with syllable splitting and invented spelling. While students have strengths in the awareness of consonants except for r-l, f-p, and b-v, they suffer from lack of awareness of vowels. Secondly, errors of invented spelling and blending showed that students have differing development stages of phonemic awareness, e.g., some students master the phonemic system perfectly whereas others perceive only the alphabetic sounds. Finally, this research suggests that a balanced approach to reading is necessary in the early reading in the Korean context.

목적 : 상자와 나무토막 검사는 손의 기능, 즉 조작능력을 평가하는 방법으로 보다 객관적이고 일상생활에서 많이 쓰는 손의 기능을 검사할 수 있는 가장 기본적이고 간단한 검사방법이다. 따라서 본 연구는 서울의 초등학생을 대상으로 일반적인 특성(성, 연령, 우세한 손)과 신체적인 특성(앉은키, 몸무게)에 따른 상자와 나무토막 검사의 정상아동 표준치를 제시하여서, 아동 치료에 기초가 되는 자료를 제공하고자 하였다.연구방법 : 연구 대상자는 서울에 위치한 한 초등학교에 다니는 남학생 85명(45.2%), 여학생 103명(54.8%)으로 전체 188명이였다. 자료는 8세에서 13세까지 6집단으로 나누고, 평균, 표준편차, 백분위 점수로 나타내었다.결과 : 상자와 나무토막 검사에서 평균값은 성별, 연령, 우세손에 따라 계산되었다(남자: 80.15, 여자: 75.68). 성별에 따라 점수를 비교했을 때, 남자 학생들의 점수가 왼손, 오른손 손 검사에서 모두 높은 점수를 얻었다(p<0.05).결론 : 본

This study investigated the relations among Korean phonological processing skills, English vocabulary knowledge, and the learning of new English words in 6th grade children. The children were tested in phonological awareness, phonological short-term memory, and naming speed tasks, as well as English vocabulary and paired-associate learning of Korean-English word pairs. Most tasks were significantly correlated with English vocabulary and paired-associate learning. In regression analyses, phonological awareness, short-term memory, and naming speed significantly predicted English vocabulary; and English vocabulary and naming speed predicted paired-associate learning. These results suggest that Korean phonological awareness, naming speed, and short-term memory are associated with English vocabulary knowledge and learning. These findings support the transfer of phonological processing skills across second languages.

The factors of obesity related with food habits were assessed to provide information for nutrition education database. The subjects in this study were 234 primary school children in Busan. Children were classified into normal and obese groups(mildly obese, moderately obese and severely obese) by obesity index. In self-recognition of body image, only 28.6% of MI group considered themselves as 'overweight or obese'. 87.2% of the subjects controlled their weight method with exercise. With regard to meal speed, 64.5% of the subjects ate fast(≤15 min.). The study also found that 79.8% of the subjects ate breakfast, 56.4% of the subjects them were moderate by obese, 40.8% of the subjects ate snacks after dinner. Eating speed, meal volume and snacks money per day were significantly different in obesity. Preference for eating out was Korean Chinese, Western and Japanese food, in order. Favorite food for snack, such as ddukbokki, fruits, milk. fried foods and candy and caramel were significantly different in obesity(p〈0.05). However hamberger, pizza and chocolate were not significantly different in obesity. The most preference snack for all the subjects were fruits and ice cream. In food preference, potato, dduk, meats, fishes, cheese, milk, ice cream were significantly different in obesity. The distasteful food for subjects were patbab, vegetables, shellfishes and salt-fermented foods. From above results, obesity of children was related to meal speed, meal volume and snacks motley per day. Therefore, these results suggest that continuous and practical nutrition education to change food habits art necessary to avoid child obesity.
