Students have often experienced difficulties in understanding the concept of the particulate nature of matter despite its importance in chemistry. Although various instructional methods have been suggested for teaching this concept, systematic studies have been rarely conducted. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of drawing and analyzing pictures. Three classes of 7th graders at a coed middle school in Seoul were assigned to the control group, the drawing group, and the analyzing group, respectively. Students were taught about the three states of matter and the motion of molecules for 8 class periods. The instructional effects on student conception, achievement, and science learning motivation were investigated by student visual learning styles. Results revealed that the scores of a conceptions test and a science learning motivation test for both the drawing group and the analyzing group were higher than those for the control group. Additionally, the scores of the science learning motivation test were also found to be higher for students with a more visual learning style than their counterparts.

In the early days, the use of concept maps in mathematics education focused on how to represent mathematical ideas in the concept map. In recent years, however, concept maps have proved beneficial for improving problem solving ability. Conceptual diagrams can be used for collaboration among students, tools for exploring problems, tools for introducing problem structures, tools for developing and systematizing knowledge systems. In this study, we focused on the structure analysis of mathematical problems using Concept Map based on the analysis of previous research. In addition, we have devised a method of using concept maps for problem analysis and a method of analysis of systematic mathematical problem structure. The method developed in this study was found to have significant value by applying to the university scholastic ability test.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the tenth grade science textbooks as an origin of misconception on greenhouse effect concept and find incorrect descriptions on that concept and then suggest some improved schemes. Some incorrect descriptions, pictures. tables and experiments related to misconceptions on greenhouse effect were found in textbooks. They are considered to contribute to form and reinforce misconceptions on that concept : the most important gas of greenhouse effect, the role of $CO_2$ on the change of greenhouse effect. global warming. energy sources, greenhouse experiments and the physical processes of greenhouse effect. So some improved schemes were suggested

The purpose of this study is to analyze the sixth curriculum textbooks of high school science courses in relation to the greenhouse effect concept and find the incorrect descriptions of that concept and then suggest some improved schemes. Some incorrect descriptions, pictures and tables on the greenhouse effect concept were found in texts. They might contribute to forming and/or reinforcing misconceptions about that concept: the important greenhouse gases, the changes caused by the greenhouse effect, global warming, energy sources, greenhouse experiments and physical processes. Therefore some improved schemes were suggested

There are certain polemics regarding what kind of approach is most appropriate in the study of urban cluture. The tension seems to come from the misunderstanding of each other. A major source of the misunderstanding is different usage of the term 'culture' The lerm 'culture' may be interpreted either as way of life (fig. 1), system of meaning (fig. 2), the fourth structural condition (fig. 3), sophisticated taste (fig. 4), a superstructure of intellect and arts (fig. 5), biological supporting system (fig. 6), or all encompassing conditions (fig. 7). Whatever definition is taken for the term 'culture', there is a parallel definition of 'environment' for each stance (figures 1 - 7) What kind of definition is adopted matters because each of them is deeply rooted in different perspectives and focuses. It however, seems impossible to completely deny or disprove the utility of any of the slances. This, we may have to accept the diversity of definitions and consider urban cultural geography as a basket in which diverse concepts and perspectives are collected and nurtured.

It can formulate a basic concept to the study on styles of drawing on animation which is influenced by styles of drawing on comic. Especially the transferability of comic and eel animation have high possibility because they have common part as drawing, continuity of imagery and narrative, in spit of the differentiation with comic for spatial and animation for temporal. So the study on comic drawing styles are inevitable check point for investigating it's animation. To analyse of the style of animation drawing, can be employed the styles of comic drawing. For a case study, comic authors and their works is utilized for establishing basic concept of transferring comic to animation with the influence of drawing styles to animation and than it will apply to classify and analyse animation by them. The consequence of this study, it can be sorted in the three areas that are the cheerful comic, the drama, the boy-meets-girl comic. and can be proved that the close relationship of comic and animation. Among three aspects, a boy-meets-girl comic can not be detected in any selected animations. The presumption of this result that can be apply to the general idea which is a rare case to use in animation. Also to use partly cheerful comic to drama style as different drawing styles is for elucidating the effect of intending isolation with the play theory of Bertolt Brecht and empathizing dramatical situation through the disparity of emotion. This study is to investigate on the influence of the drawing style of comics in animation, and can provide the basic ideas of inter-relation of media through drawing styles study with the concept of hybrid.

컴퓨터라는 새로운 매체의 도입의 이점이 컴퓨터 매체의 제반 특성들을 잘 활용함으로써 학생들의 호기심을 유발하고 학생들의 학습 효과를 높일 수 있다는 데에만 국한되는 것은 아니다. 새로운 컴퓨터 매체의 도입은 논리학의 여러 중심 개념들 자체에 대한 이해의 심도를 증진시킴으로써 논리학을 새로운 영역으로 확대시켜 주기도 한다. 그 새로운 영역은 그림과 같은 비언어적 표상을 핵심적으로 포함한 추론, 즉 문자와 그림을 동시에 포함하는 이질적인 추론(heterogeneous reasoning)을 허용하는 영역이다. 논리학은, 정보가 어떻게 표상되든 상관없이, 정보 추출의 타당한 형태들에 관한 연구이다. 전통적으로 논리학자들은 정보 추출의 타당한 형태들의 매우 작은 부분(즉, 언어적 표상)에만 초점을 맞추었다. 그러나 컴퓨터 매체의 활용과 더불어 이제 논리학은 시각적 표상을 포함하여 다양한 표상들을 어떻게 사람들이 사용하는지 파악해야 한다. 이러한 과업의 성취를 위해, 구문론, 의미론, 논리적 귀결, 증명, 반례 등의 전통적 개념을 이러한 새로운 형태의 표상들을 수용할 수 있는 방식으로 확장하고 풍부하게 만들어야 한다. 그림 표상과 문자 표상을 함께 사용하는 추론 체계인 Hyperproof에 대한 연구는 이러한 확장된 논리 이론을 형성하는 데 기여한다.

이 연구에서는 단어를 지각하게 되면 그 단어에 대한 의미가 자동적으로 활성화되고 그림표상까지도 활성화되지만, 그림을 지각하고 난 후에는 의미표상체계는 활성화되지만 단어의 지각적 표상체계는 활성화되지 않는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 실험 1과 2에서는 지연시간을 달리하여 그림을 지각적으로 처리를 하게 한 후 단어에 대한 점화효과를 보았으며, 실험 3 에서는 그림을 개념주도적 처리를 하게 한 후 단어에 대한 점화효과 및 암묵적 기억과 재인기억을 비교해 보았다. 실험결과 지각적 판단과제에서는 조건간의 아무런 차이가 없었지만, 의미적 판단과제에서는 동일조건과 그림조건에서의 반응시간이 통제조건을 포함한 기타 조건들에서보다 빠른 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 의미적 표상체계로부터 단어의 지각적 표상체계까지의 상호작용 통로가 존재하지 않으며, 그림자극이 단어자극의 점화효과에 영향을 주는 이유는 동일한 의미적 표상체계의 활성화가 단어자극의 지각적 표상체계까지 확산되기 때문이 아니라, 그림자극에 대한 의미적 표상체계가 활성화되기 때문이라는 점을 시사한다.

We compared algorithmic problem solving and conceptual understanding of chemistry with three types (algorithmic, pictorial- and wordy-formatted conceptual) of problems. The familiarity, confidence, and preference to the three type of problems were also examined. The chemistry problem solving ability test was administered to 228 students from two top high schools in the province of Gyeonggi who were preparing the chemistry examination among the four optional subjects (biology, chemistry, earth science, physics) for enter university. After administrating the chemistry problem solving ability test, the degree of familiarity to some problems and the degree of confidence of their answers in a Likert scale were asked to the students. Besides, the students were asked to place preference to the type of problems in order. The students scored better on the algorithmic problems than on the conceptual problems (pictorial and wordy problems), and were also most familiar with the algorithmic problems. The students were more confident of their answers on both of types pictorial and algorithmic problems, and preferred pictorial problems rather than both of types algorithmic and wordy problems.

In this study, preconceptions held by chemistry major secondary school science teachers were searched in relation to explanations of water evaporation phenomena with phase equilibrium diagrams. 25 chemistry major science teachers were selected to complete questionnaires developed in this study and 6 among of them were selected to participate in follow-up interviews. Among these, 10 participants were selected for an evaluation of the change of their preconceptions through lessons developed in this study. From the results, it was found that many teachers believed that the phase equilibrium diagram could not explain water evaporation phenomena. They also thought that there was no relation between vapor pressure and the vertical axis of the phase equilibrium diagram. However, after the lessons in earth science, they recognized that the vapor pressure curve of the phase equilibrium diagram could be explained by adopting a saturated vapor curve. Because they had known the process of application the conceptions of saturated situation, nonsaturated situation, process of equilibrium movement in saturated vapor curve. They could understand natural phenomena such as evaporation with the phase equilibrium diagram through a change in their conceptions as guided from science lessons integrating earth science and chemistry.
