Elementary scientific items released by TIMSS 2007 have been translated according to Korea curriculum. And then, we implemented the survey to find out the science achievement of the 4th grade in 23 elementary schools in Gyeongnam and Ulsan city. Based on the results from this survey, we compared the science achievement of the 4th grade in elementary schools between Korea and Japan. Average correct answer rate, answer rate per areas, and international benchmarks have been examined and considered. Moreover, we also looked into the current situation through the scientific concepts and misconceptions which both countries' students have. Average correct answer rate on the 71 items of elementary science released by TIMSS 2007 was 69.8 % in Korea, 61.7 % in Japan, and both countries' score was higher than international average correct answer rate, 49.2%. We confirmed that both countries are in the top level internationally. Average answer rate was about the same in most questions between two countries, but answer rate or answered-type was different according to the completion period or completion contents. And we were able to analyze the current concepts that students have, and this outcome will lead us to have the better teaching tips. Followed by TIMSS 2003 survey, we considered the level of Korea students' international science achievement by the quantitative and qualitative analysis through TIMSS 2007.

TIMSS2007において公開された初等科学問題を韓国の教育課程に合わせて訳し、2009年2月に韓国の慶南․蔚山所在の23個の初等学校を対象に科学到達度の調査を行った。その調査から得られたデータに基づいて、韓国と日本の初等学校児童たちの科学到達度の比較を試みた。分析項目としては平均正答率、領域別正答率、国際標識水準問題の正答率などを取り上げた。また、具体的な問項分析を通して、両国の児童たちが持っている科学概念及び誤概念などの現状を探ってみた。　TIMSS2007で公開された71問の初等科学問題に対する平均正答率は韓国が69.8％、日本が61.7％であり、国際平均値の49.2%を大きく上回り、参加国の中でも上位レベルにあることが確認された。たいていの問題に対する両国の児童たちの正答率は等しいが、履修時期や履修内容によって正答率や解答類型に差が見られた。解答用紙から児童たちが持っている概念が分析でき、今後の児童指導に使えるデータが得られた。TIMSS2003調査に続き、わが国の初等学校児童たちの国際的な科学到達度を定量的および定性的に考察することができた。
