Interest has been studied as one of the construct to understand and improve learning in science. While informal science education is getting increasing attention as science education has been extended from formal school science to informal science learning including after-school program or science museum activity, however, little has been studied in comparing to the needs. In this study the authors investigated students' interest about learning science in the context of informal science education. For this the survey tool in the article of Im and Pak (2000) was utilized through modification, and 155 elementary students' responses were analyzed with factor analysis and basic statistics. The factor analysis showed that the students' interest about learning science in the context of informal science education has multi dimensions like subject, motivation, and activity dimension. The result showed that students' interest decreased as their grade is higher, and that the interest of intrinsic motivation, empirical activity, and descriptive subject were relatively high while the interest of extrinsic motivation, cognitive activity, and specific subjects were low. From this study the authors could infer the necessity of instructional strategy in consideration of students' interest for more effective science learning in informal science education environment.

The objectives of this study were to analyze present status and to suggest for the future upbringing programs for informal environment educator of Environmental NGOs in Korea. Based on the findings from reviewing environmental educators’ certification systems in Environmental NGOs, the following suggestions should be considered for improving the certification systems. 1) Government and environmental NGOs should adopt a certification system by implementing qualifying examination for employing specification of informal environmental educator. 2) Applicants to obtain a certification of informal environmental educator in environmental NGOs should be qualified through standard processes including taking required curriculum and programs. They must be evaluated informal environmental educator’ ability accurately through their portfolio, teaching ability, professional responsibilities and so on. 3) Standardized curriculum and programs should be adopted by government for the initial preparation of environmental educators reflecting the guidelines from the KOSEE (The Korean Society for Environmental Education) and NAAEE (North American Association for Environmental Education) in the future.

Building on previous literature of human resource management and development, this paper investigates the effect of various characteristics of informal education a firm offers on employees' individual creativity. we identify quantity, quality, and variety as three critical components of informal educational and training circumstances. Data from a multi-informant survey conducted to 442 employees in Korean postal service show that a firm's informal educational training has significant effects on its employee creativity. The results indicate that enough high quality of program, various training method have a positive relationship with his/her individual creativity although time and opportunity don't have an critical impact on employee creativity. This study highlights the importance of a firm's informal education in terms of motivation and skills, and helps to explain individual discrepancies in creativity.

There has been increasing evidence of the positive effects in informal science programs to promote the youths' positive development. However, relatively a small number of informal science programs target specific student populations such as youth in poverty with little research done about the important program factors. This case study presents an exemplary informal science education program (focusing on Earth Science Education or more specifically, water in urban environments) for youth in poverty in a midwest city of the United States. This study explored the most important characteristics of the program that could lead to positive development for the youth. Through a number of observations of the program and interviews with the participants, this study employs inductive and interpretive research methods. Findings show that the program managers' beliefs about the youths' knowledge and experiences, their relationship building skills, and their cooperative work are very important. A concrete mission for the program and structured institutional support to hire the youth as paid museum staff are also important in assuming their responsibility and building identity as an active social member.

본 연구는 비례 개념을 배우지 않은 초등학생들이 가지고 있는 비형식적 지식을 조사 분석하여, 비례 개념 지도에 대한 시사점을 얻는데 목적이 있다. 이 연구를 위해 정비례, 반비례에 관한 선행학습을 하지 않은 6학년 학생 117명을 연구대상으로 본 연구에서 개발한 정비례 7문항, 반비례 4문항을 이용하여 조사 연구를 시행하였다. 또 학생들이 문제를 해결하는 과정에서 보인 비례에 관한 비형식적 지식을 심층적으로 알아보기 위하여 문제해결 전략별로 9명의 학생들을 선정한 후 면담을 시행하였다. 연구 결과, 학교에서 정비례, 반비례 개념을 배우지 않은 6학년 학생들은 정비례 문제와 반비례 문제를 해결할 때 곱셈추론전략, 비례추론 전략, 한 단위 전략 등을 사용하여 해결하였다. 학생들이 비례에 관한 비형식적 지식을 적극 활용한다는 사실은 이를 형식화하여 의미 있는 비례 개념 지도가 가능하다는 것을 시사한다.

The aim of this study was to establish an university informal program roadmap, and also to draw up operational plans for human resources with core technologies of the fourth industry. To do this, first we derived university informal education program draft through experts workshop, then conducted a survey regarding the female university students' perception of educational programs and their educational needs on the 4th core technology matching programs. The following main results were obtained : First, students preferred 'hands-on training' by professionals and they wanted to be trained during summer or winter holidays or the night time during semesters. Also, they thought two hours of training per session was appropriate. Regarding these results, there was no difference depending on the majors. Second, while students had highly preferred for the courses related to data analysis, Arduino programing and VR(virtual reality), those related to 3D printing modeling were less preferred. Depending on the majors, preferred courses had different priorities, but non-preferred courses were similar regardless of majors. Based on these results, the university informal curriculum model and the operation plans for the core technologies of the fourth industry were proposed.

이 연구에서는 앞으로 비형식 과학 학습 연구가 추구해야 할 방향을 모색하기 위하여, 기존의 비형식 과학 학습 관련 연구들이 다루어온 교육적 관점을 각 분야별로 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 최근 6년간 발행한 비형식 과학 학습 관련 학술지 144편을 대상으로 하여 각 연구에서의 교육적 관점을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 과학적 실천 참여나 정서 고양, 지식의 이해에 관한 연구가 다수 이루어졌지만, 과학의 본성에 대한 이해에 대한 연구는 드물게 이뤄지는 등 몇 가지 교육적 관점에 치우쳐서 연구가 이뤄진 경향이 있었다. 또한 이러한 경향은 각 분야 세부 매체별에서도 나타났는데, 치우친 양상은 매체별로 다양하게 나타났다. 따라서 형식 교육의 보조가 아닌 비형식 과학 학습 그 자체로서의 다양한 측면을 살펴보고, 추구하고자 하는 바를 깊게 이해하기 위해서는 각 매체별 연구에 있어서 다양한 교육적 관점을 검토해야 할 것이다.

This paper investigates what informal knowledge and strategies fifth-grade students brought to a classroom and how much they had potential to solve fraction division story problems. The findings show that most of the participants were engaged to understand the meaning of fraction division prior to their formal instruction at school. In order to solve the story problems, the informal knowledge related to fractions as well as division was actively utilized in student's strategies and justification. Students also used various informal strategies from mental calculation, direct modeling, to relational thinking. Formal instructions about fraction division at schools can be facilitated for sense-making of this complex fraction division conception by unpacking informal knowledge and thinking they might bring to the classrooms.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how fifth and sixth graders recognize average and to find out suggestions for teaching/learning methods of average by examining which difference there is depending on the way of the word problem presentation. To solve these study questions, With the way of the word problem presentation set up as experimental treatment experiment was conducted to analyze these. In conclusion, since students who did not learn the regular course of average values had various informal concepts already, it is needed to consider handling more various concepts of average in order to enable students to expand flexible thoughts. And informal concepts of average students showed were the same or similar to types of formalized concepts and had logicality and propriety in their own way. Compared with fifth graders, sixth graders showed a wide difference in informal concepts of average depending on the way of the word problem presentation.
