다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated Korean science teachers` concerns and needs regarding inquiry testing to cope with the innovation called College Scholastic Abilities Test(CSAT), which was officially first administered as the nation-wide college entrance exam in 1994. This study adopted Concerns Based Adoption Model(CBAM) as the theoretical framework developed by Hall et al. 60 high science teachers (30 physics, 2O earth science, 10 others) were involved for the main study in August, 1992. In general, science teachers demonstrated a concern profile similar to that of `nonusers`. They showed high level of concerns on the `information` and `personal` stage, while low level of concerns on `management` and `consequence` stage. Science teachers expressed their strong needs for knowledge and support to facilitate inquiry teaching and testing, text books written in inquiry mode. It is recommended that in-service trainings be provided based on the concerns and needs of teachers for a better teacher training and successful implementation of the innovation.
