This study investigated the relationship between pretend play and comprehension of pretense by type of stipulated transformation among 2-and 4-year-olds children. Each child participated in pretend play with its mother for 10 minutes and in a stipulated task for comprehension of pretense. There was a significant difference in 2- and 4-year-olds in frequency and level of pretend play, and pretend play behavior was related to comprehension of pretense. Level of pretend play was positively related to comprehension of 'complexity' of stipulated transformations. This showed that there was significant relationship between development of pretend play and ability to comprehend pretense based on physical transformation.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of flash panorama-based virtual field trips (VFT) as a supporting tool for geological field activity on middle school students' spatial visualization ability, conceptual understanding, and perceptions. A total of 17 middle school students participated in a three day long actual geological field trip around Jeju Island where a three-phase instructional model is applied for utilization of flash panorama-based VFT, which was proposed by Kim and Lee (2011). With one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design, data were collected using questionnaire and were analyzed to find out a change in students' spatial visualization ability and volcanic concept understanding, and their perceptions about the utilization of flash panorama-based VFT. Findings are as follows: First, the effect of utilizing flash panorama-based VFT in actual field trip revealed that there was meaningful increase in 'spatial relation' category of spatial visualization ability and 'knowledge' and 'comprehension' domains of volcanic concept understanding. Second, majority of students showed positive gain index in both spatial visualization ability and volcanic concept understanding. Lastly, participating students showed much interest and high satisfaction, and positive perception on the use of VFT. They also perceived that the utilization of flash panorama-based VFT could help in carrying out an actual field trip in terms of cognitive and geographical factors.

웹의 등장으로 인터넷이 보편화됨에 따라 웹을 기반으로 하는 가상 강의실이 많이 구축되고 시다. 웹을 기반으로 하는 가상 강의실은 학습자에게 많고 다양한 정보를 제공하는 장점이 있다. 하지만, 기존 가상 강의실 시스템에서 제공하는 학습내용이 대부분 교수의 임의의 한 수준으로 제공되고 있어 학습자 개개인의 학습수준이나 목적에 맞는 학습내용을 제공하지 못하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 수준별 학습내용을 제공할 수 있도록 학습 평가 에이전트를 갖는 웹 기반 가상 강의실을 제안하고 구현한다. 본 가상 강의실의 학습 평가 에이전트는 학습자에게 학습 방향과 목표에 따라 수준에 맞는 학습내용을 제공하기 위하여 학습 전에 학습자의 학습수준을 테스트한다. 이러한 테스트를 위하여 학습 평가 에이전트는 테스트 항목들에 대하여 문항반응이론을 적용한다. 문항반응이론은 문항특성의 불변성, 능력추정의 정확성, 능력추정의 불변성을 가지고 있어 학습자의 단순한 평가가 아니라 학습자의 지식수준이나 이해정도를 구체적으로 평가할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한 본 논문에서는 이러한 가상 강의실의 구축에 필요한 데이타베이스 설계와 시스템 환경에 대한 내용을 포함한다.

While virtual field trips (VFT) are considered as an attractive alternative to traditional field experience, it is unclear how VFT are best used in Earth Science curriculum. In this study, we investigated the effects of flash panorama-based VFT on students' spatial visualization ability and their understanding of volcanic concept in high school Earth Science class. To investigate the effects of instructional treatment, we conducted pre and post-test on participants' spatial visualization ability and their understanding of volcanic concept, and analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and linear regression. Findings are as follows: First, the change in students' spatial visualization ability in experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group, especially in spatial manipulation category. Second, the change in students' understanding of volcanic concept in experimental group was higher than that of control group in most of the categories, but it is statistically not significant. Last, the change in correlation between spatial visualization ability and understanding of volcanic concept in experimental group was remarkably high compared to control group.

The use of virtual reality(VR)-based interventions for students with autism spectrum disorders(ASD) has received special attention as evidence-based practices for its feasiblity, practicality, and appropriateness. However, there is little research to investigate the effects of VR-based intervention for students with ASD in Korea. This study identifies and reviews studies applying VR-based interventions. In total, 13 experimental studies were found that examine the effects of VR interventions published from 1990 to 2016. The selected studies were analyzed by 6 variables including publication year, participants, research design, independent variable, dependent variable, and outcome. The results of this study showed the feasibility of the implementing VR-based interventions in various age group students with ASD. In addition, the utilization of VR techniques was particularly effective in improving a wide range of social communication skills including facial recognition, empathy, joint attention, understanding social context, and resolving issues due to limited cognitive abilities. Several recommendations for the future study on VR-based intervention for students with ASD such as interdisciplinary approach to VR-based interventions, support needs regarding characteristics of ASD, generalization and maintenance of acquired technology, and consideration for participants' cultural background. were discussed.

The early stage of Korean language education was to understand grammar. However, recent Korean language education aims to improve expressive ability for smooth communication. Hence, educational drama for education has gained attention as one of the effective ways of improving communication skills. Educational drama provides an actual conversational situation in which one can use appropriate words and grammar depending on the situation. Non-verbal expression such as body language and facial expression could be picked up so one also improves one's communicative abilities naturally. This means that educational drama shares Korean language education's goal of improving communicative ability. Moreover, the student becomes the core of the activity and finds solutions through cooperation with others, and this also helps improve social skills and self-esteem. This thesis covers methods of having interviews, re-writing texts to scripts, writing up post-script by imagining the following text, role-playing, and improving expressive ability by debating educational theatrical techniques. To make these activities successful, good quality VOD and learning materials shall be developed and used. Also, efficient training programs shall be created so that teachers make use of what they learn and improve their teaching skills.
