다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of the cognitive levels and the science process skills based on the cognitive styles. The subjects of the study were 5-6th grade 790 students sampled by random cluster sampling method in three schools from large cities, small cities, and rural areas respectively. The results are as follows.
1) The field independent students showed significantly higher(p<0.001) cognitive level than the field dependent ones.
2) The field independent group showed higher formation rate of subskills of the logical thinking skills than the field dependent groups.
3) It was found out that the field independent group attained significantly higher scores of science process skills than the field dependent group in 5th and 6th grade students.
4) The more cognitive levels became higher, the more science process skills were significantly higher(p<0.001).
5) There were significant(p<0.001) differences among the science process skills for grade levels and three regions. And that there were not significant differences in the science process skills between males and females,
6) The science process skills of the field independent and the formal operational group could be acquired better scores in the science process skills than those who belong to another combinations.
