'지각의 물질과 변화' 단원에 대한 중학생들의 인식과 자연환경에의 연계성 = Middle School Student's Cognition and Relation to Natural Environment About 'The Materials and Change of the Earth Surface'

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is focused on how much middle school students who learn the chapter of first-grade science, ‘The Materials and Change of the Earth Surface’, connect and understand what they learn with their environment and surroundings.
According to this research, this study will discuss the connection between school education and living surroundings and how much the difference between the surroundings will influence the understanding of their concepts and attitudes toward science. This study researched 330 second-grade students in middle schools which are located in Jeonju, Buan and Jinan in Jeollabukdo.
(1) In case of mineral and rocks, this study analyzed that students have known the concept of mineral and rocks by observing samples in class. Only 16 percent of the students observe surrounding rocks with interest, but most of them are not interested in it.
(2) Chaesukgang and Mountain Mai are two local places in Jeollabukdo which have a lot of specific stratum and geological structures. So it’s easy for teachers to show the students rocks and geological structure by connecting outdoor experience with these locations. Although the students have a little more observation experience than Jeonju area students, all of them throughout the county seldom do outdoor observation learning.
By collecting and observing the surrounding minerals and rocks, along with teaching the chapter ‘The Materials and Change of the Earth Surface’, and by visiting outdoor locations while teaching at geological structures, we can improve the effect of learning.
