The purpose of this paper is to investigate the dispositions of university students' understanding and reasoning about rational number concept. For this, we surveyed for the subject groups of prospective math teachers(33), engineering major students(35), American engineering and science major students(28). The questionnaire consists of four problems related to understanding of rational number concept and three problems related to rational number operation reasoning. We asked multi-answers for the front four problem and the order of favorite algorithms for the back three problems. As a result, we found that university students don't understand exactly the facets of rational number and prefer the mechanic approaches rather than conceptual one. Furthermore, they reasoned illogically in many situations related to fraction, ratio, proportion, rational number and don't recognize exactly the connection between them, and confuse about rational number concept.

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.

Holland et al.(1986)propose four major factors to determine the outcome of the competition among the rules in an artificial intelligence system: match,sterength.specificity and support.They can be used as sriteria for the system to prefer rules in the cognition of objects from the given environment.The purpose of this paper is to explicate especially the concept of strength with that of likelihood in statistics.The stregth concept itself and the way of the application will be understood more fully by the likelihood concept.A concept is the more fruiful the more it can be brought into connection with otherconcepts.

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 paper, we propose an intelligent model lot extraction of the web user's preference and present the results of evaluation. For this purpose, we analyze shortcomings of current information retrieval engine being used and reflect preference weights on learner. As it doesn't depend on frequency of each word but intelligently learns patterns of user behavior, the mechanism Provides the appropriate set of results about user's questions. Then, we propose the concept of preference trend and its considerations and present an algorithm for extracting preference with examples. Also, we design an intelligent model for extraction of behavior patterns and propose HTML index and process of intelligent learning for preference decision. Finally, we validate the proposed model by comparing estimated results(after applying the Preference) of document ranking measurement.

This study analyzed the contents of Goodreads review data, which is a social cataloging service with the participation of book users around the world, to identify the preference factors that affect book users' book recommendations in the library information service environment. To understand user preferences from a more detailed point of view, sub-datasets for each rating group, each book, and each user were constructed in the sample selection process. Stratified sampling was also performed based on the result of topic modeling of review text data to include various topics. As a result, a total of 90 preference factors belonging to 7 categories('Content', 'Character', 'Writing', 'Reading', 'Author', 'Story', 'Form') were identified. Also, the general preference factors revealed according to the ratings, as well as the patterns of preference factors revealed in books and users with clear likes and dislikes were identified. The results of this study are expected to contribute to more sophisticated recommendations in future recommendation systems by identifying specific aspects of user preference factors.

유비쿼터스 상거래의 도래에 따라 개인화 된 서비스를 위한 상황과 환경 정보 즉, 컨텍스트 정보에 기반한 정보 제공의 중요성이 높아지고 있는데, 기존의 연구는 물리적 환경에 국한하여 컨텍스트를 적용하고 있으며. 개인의 선호를 고려하지 않는 타켓 마케팅 개념적 서비스에 기반을 두기 때문에 유비쿼터스 상거래 환경의 컨텍스트 도메인 관점에 부 적합하고, 개인화된 서비스 지원이 어렵다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 유비쿼터스 환경에서의 컨텍스트 개체에 대해 정의하고, 전자공간과 물리공간의 연계를 바탕으로 실세계의 일반화 된 공간 개념과 전자 공간의 카테고리 형태의 구조를 통합한 개념 계층 구조로 컨텍스트 정보 모델링을 제안하고, XML 데이터베이스를 이용하여 설계한다. 아울러 이렇게 확장된 컨텍스트 개념을 기반으로 적용 가능한 개인 상거래 서비스를 설명한다.

This paper examines the cross-sectional development of children's conception of place. Previous research by Piaget and Weil, Jahoda, Daggs has questioned how young children develop the ablity to comprehend place. Oral interview and graphic test were made vy the children at the age of 5-14, in order to attain information on their knowledge, understanding and feeling about place. These data were used ti indentify developmental stages through cluster analysis. The results suggest that young children's conception of place develops with an identifiable 4 stages. There is no significant difference in development of conception of place between the 2nd year of kindergarten and the 1st year of elementary school, or the between the 5th, 6th year of elementary school and 1st, 2nd year of middle school. Rather, the 4th year of elementary school is an important and crucial truning point in the development of children's conception of place. It is concluded that children's conception of place develops in line with Piaget's general cognitive developmental theory in which the pre-conceptual stage ends at age 7 and the concrete-operation stage starts at age 11 to 12.

The purpose of this study is to investigate fashion product image evaluation according to life-style groups of middle-aged women. The subject of investigation was 352 middle-aged women from 35 to 59 living in Daegu by random sampling method in April and May, 2005. The investigation was carried out by questionnaires which were composed of 3 sections: Fashion product image measure, Life style research and demographic variables(age, academic background, occupation, monthly clothing allowance, monthly income). The statistical methods to analyze the data were frequency, percentage, average, factor analysis, cluster analysis, ANOVA, Duncan's multiple range test. The results are summarized as follows: 1. As a result of factor analysis for fashion product image, the four factors including noble image, bold image, practical image, female image were extracted. 2. Middle-aged women were classified into four life-style groups including tradition oriented group, negative oriented group, activity oriented group and appearance oriented group. 3. Significant differences in fashion product image preferences according to life-style groups were found. Tradition oriented group preferred noble image and practical image. Negative oriented group tended to pursue practical image. Activity oriented group pursued a bold image. Appearance oriented group liked a noble image the best and then noble image, bold image in order.
