다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The effects of education utilizing history of science on science achievement and attitudes of the ninth grade
students were investigated according to their achievement level, along with the development of teaching and learning
materials. A total of 144 ninth grade students were divided into the experiment and control group. Instructing students
using history of science was performed in the experiment group, while conventional instruction was used in the control
group. The scores of both pre-test and post-test were estimated by ANCOVA. Instructions applying history of science
were more effective in increasing the students’ science achievement and attitude than conventional instructions. In
particular, the former enhanced the achievements of the upper-level students, more than it did for the middle and lowerlevel
students. In addition, using history of science showed a better effect on higher and middle-level students, in
improving their attitudes toward science, than it did for lower-level students. This study suggests that the instruction
utilizing history of science should be designed based on the students’ achievement level, and that various teaching and
learning materials related to the instruction were helpful.
