Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the geomorphological and geological characteristics of uninhabited islands belonging to Nam-myeon and Samsan-myeon, Yeosu-city, Jeollanam-do, and to suggest geological educational application plans for elementary, middle, and high school students. For this study, the topography and geology were first investigated on six islands in Nam-myeon (Suhangdo, Odongdo, Chosamdo, Baedayo, Almado, and Soalmado) and six islands in Samsan-myeon (Sang Island, Bagmok Island, Nabdaegi, Daeduyeokseo, Sodugiri Island, and Elephant bawi). In addition, the relationship between these results and the learning contents of the geological units of elementary school science, middle school science 1, and high school geoscience 1 was analyzed. The research results are as follows. First, most of the coastal topography of six islands in Nam-myeon and six islands in Samsan-myeon, which are uninhabited islands in the study area, develops sea cliffs and sea caves, and some islands develop wave-cut platforms, sea arches, and sea stacks. Moreover, taffoni is developed by weathering on the sea cliff of most uninhabited islands. The geology of uninhabited islands in the study area is mostly composed of tuff, and some islands are composed of sedimentary rocks and andesite rocks. Characteristic geological structures include columnar joints, dykes, faults, stratifications, and joints. Second, the characteristics of the coastal topography of uninhabited islands in the study area are closely associated with the learning contents of the geological unit of elementary school science. Tuffs, columnar joints, and dykes are closely related to the learning contents of the geological unit of high school geoscience 1. On top of that, stratum, stratification, sedimentary rocks, and andesite are closely related to the learning contents of the geological unit of elementary school science, middle school science 1, and high school geoscience 1. Third, it plans to produce visual materials such as photos or video with respect to the topography and geology of uninhabited islands and use them for teaching and learning of geological units. The topography and geology of uninhabited islands belonging to Nam-myeon and Samsan-myeon of Yeosu-city have unique characteristics. Suppose these topography and geological phenomena are produced with photos or videos and used as learning materials. In that case it will not only attract students' interest and curiosity about the region, but also positively effect on their scientific attitude. Furthermore, photos and video materials related to topography and geology of uninhabited islands provided by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries provide students with an opportunity to understand the unique formation and change process of coastal topography and the characteristics of geological structure. Therefore, it is worth actively considering how to use these materials for teaching-learning of geological units in the school field.
