The growth, differentiation, development and fecundity of insects are influenced by temperature. The relationship between the development rate of insect and temperature has been studied since 1978 in Korea. The relationship between temperature and insect development was published in the Korean Journal of Applied Entomology (71 papers). The contents about Hemiptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Acarina and Neuroptera were published in 27, 16, 7, 6, 4, 5, and 2 papers of the journal. Approximately 33 functions from many international journals were published to figure out the relationship between temperature and development rate of insects. The functions have been developed based on two principal ways – simplified analytic method and biophysiological approach. The empirical models are based on the law of total effective temperature and heat summation. The biophysiological models are based on the equations of Arrhenius and Eying. The thermal constant and lower temperature threshold are estimated using linear functions. The minimal and maximal development rate are presented by nonlinear equations. The Sharpe-Schoolfield-Ikemoto (SSI) model showed the intrinsic optimal temperature. Cumulative proportion of development completion for each life stage of insects was analyzed using Weibull and sigmoid functions. We discussed the application and implication of linear and non-linear temperature dependent development models.

본 연구에서는 개념도를 활용한 새로운 수업모형을 개발하고 이를 지구과학 I의 지각변동 단원에 적용하였다. 이를 통해 전통적 수업 방식에 비해 학생들의 학업성취도, 개념도 작성 능력, 개념도 수업에 대한 태도 변화에 어떤 효과가 나타나는지를 분석하였다. 자료는 경기도에 소재하는 한 남자고등학교에서 2학년 학생 128명을 선정하여 실험 처치 후 수집하였다. 그 결과 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았지만 새로운 수업모형은 전통적 수업방식에 비해 학생들의 학업성취도가 향상되었다. 그리고 새로운 수업모형은 전통적 수업방식에 비해 학생들의 개념도 작성 능력과 개념도에 대한 태도에서 유의미하고 긍정적인 차이를 보였다.
