    Pre-service Teachers’ Conceptions about Brightness of Bulbs in Simple Electrical Circuits: Focusing on Simple Series Circuit and Parallel Circuits

    Hye-eun CHU,* Moon Nam LEE

    Abstract : The conceptions about simple electrical circuits of 26 pre-service science teachers who have taken a course in general physics were investigated in this study. The pre-service teachers displayed limited conceptions about making simple circuits because they lacked understanding of concepts about the terminals of electric bulbs. Also, they held several conceptions about the brightness of bulbs in separate simple series and parallel circuits that may be classified into four categories, namely acceptable scientific conceptions, limited scientific conceptions, confused conceptions and naive conceptions. However, in the case of combined series and parallel electrical circuits, the teachers were found to hold only scientifically acceptable conceptions, limited scientific conceptions and confused conceptions.

    A Study on the Development of an Interdisciplinary Curriculum for the Nano-Science Major System in College

    June Won HYUN,* Yonghyun AHN and Cheong-Soo HWANG, Seong-Wook LEE, Hye-Eun CHU

    Abstract : This study developes an interdisciplinary curriculum for the Nano-science major system in college within core natural science majors, e.g. physics, chemistry, and biology. The nano-science major, currently one of the major research areas in both applied and pure sciences, was considered as an alternate solution to the problem that many students, not only in college but also in high school and even in junior high school, tend to avoid studying science subjects as their majors nowadays. To support this research, we sent and collected questionnaires from 600 randomly selected students in three groups: science majors in college, in high school, and in junior high school. For the data analysis, SPSS/PC+ program, version 10.0, was used. This investigation revealed that after providing some fundamental information about nano-science to those who primarily answered that they had a negative impression about science subjects, 26.8 to 55.1% students among those groups showed significant interest in nano-science.
