다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to analyze the development of the compensational thinking by the compensation activities of `Thinking Science` program. The 138 students were sampled in elementary schools and were divided into two groups, the experimental group of 74 students and the control group of 64 students. Both the compensation activities of the `Thinking Science` program and a regular science curriculum were implemented to the experimental group, while only a regular science curriculum to the control group. Both experimental and control group were pre-tested with Science Reasoning Task Ⅱ and compensational thinking test Ⅰ and were post-tested with compensational thinking test Ⅱ. This study revealed that the types of strategies used in compensation problem solving were categorized as illogical explanation, rule automation, proportionality, explanation in qualitative terms, additive quantification, inverse proportionality and were related to the context of the items. It was found that compensation activities of the `Thinking Science` program were effective on the development of the compensational thinking.
