The effects of three teaching models were compared in this research. One of those is concept change model, another is concept change model based on students learning motivations, the other is traditional teaching method based on science textbooks. The subjects of this research were the 8th grade students of Korean middle school. They were divided into three groups, and tested learning motivations. All of the three groups improved their learning motivations and concept understanding by the classes. Especially, the group of concept change model based on students learning motivations represented most effective improvement of learning motivations. The concept change teaching model and concept change teaching model based on students learning motivations are more effective in concept understanding than traditional teaching method based on textbooks. The students who have high learning motivations improved their concept understanding by the classes of concept change model based on students learning motivations. The students who have low learning motivations improved their learning motivations by the classes of concept change model based on students learning motivations also.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive tutoring system, which analyzes learning process, subject materials, and test items of students, diagnoses learning problems of them, and then gives proper advice accordingly. In the system, learning materials are constructed using concept map, on which the relationships among learning concepts are represented. Concept map can be used for several purposes in instruction process. Our work considers that new learning knowledge is dependent on what is already known. That is, it means that precedent concepts should be thoroughly learned for students to comprehend new concepts. After grasping the learning state of students for precedent concepts to be required before learning new concepts, our system provides proper learning materials for want of them, diagnoses the concepts which students have trouble to understand in the learning process, and provides suggestions for it.

본 논문에서는 다수의 개념을 효과적으로 학습할 수 있는 논리적인 진화방식을, 보다 일반적인 문제에 적용하기 위하여 확장하였다. 기존의 알고리듬이 0 차 논리(zero-order logic)에 의해 표현되는 개념만을 학습할 수 있었던 점을 개선하여, 특징논리로 표현되는 개념까지 학습할 수 있도록 확장하였다. 또한 확장된 알고리듬을 이용하여, 실수입력을 가지는 개념 또한 학습할 수 있도록 하였다. 제안된 알고리듬은 이전의 알고리듬과 마찬가지로, 다수의 개념을 학습할 때, 이전의 학습결과를 이용하여 새로운 개념을 쉽게 학습할 수 있는 특징을 가지고 있다. 제안된 알고리듬에 의해 특징논리로 표현되는 개념을 학습할 수 있으며, 다수의 개념을 학습할 때 성능향상이 이루어지는 것을 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

The researches related to students' preconceptions and conceptual change model have been reported that students' learning motivation is one of the key variable for the conceptual change. The effects of students learning motivations on conceptual changes were evaluated. Subjects of this study were 8th grade students. and they were divided into 2 groups. One group was taught by traditional teaching method, and the other group by concept change teaching model. After the intervention, learning motivations of the students were testified. The students of high motivation who were taught by concept change teaching model showed higher scores in the concept of chemical change than the students by traditional teaching method. But there was no difference in both groups of students who have low learning motivations. The learning motivations before the intervention. the motivations stimulated by classes. and the degree of concept understanding showed high correlation. The motivations stimulated by classes explain 23.3 % of the degree of concept understanding. The results seems to mean that students learning motivations contribute to the understanding of concepts. Especially confidence of learning as a subcategory of the learning motivation contributes significantly to the understanding of new concepts. In contrast, the traditional teaching methods and the teaching methods of concept change learning theory were not effective for the stimulation of students learning motivations.

고등학교 지구과학에서 다루는 천문학 개념의 위계를 밝히고, 그에 따른 교수-학습의 효과를 알아보기 위해 지식공간론을 활용하여 학습과제 속에서 내재되어 있는 학습자의 지식상태를 분석하였다. 고등학교 학생들의 천문학적 공간개념에 대한 구성 요인 간 위계는 '공간위치 $\rightarrow$ 공간추리 $\rightarrow$ 공간변화' 순이었다. 학습자의 천문학적 공간개념 점수가 같아도 개념의 구조화( 지식상태 )가 다르게 나타나는 경우가 있었다. 이는 학습자에 따라 개별화 학습의 처방이 달라져야 함을 시사한다. 천체관측 개념의 위계는 '지구운동 $\rightarrow$ 천구좌표계 $\rightarrow$ 천체관측( 망원경 원리 $\rightarrow$ 망원경 설치 $\rightarrow$ 망원경 관측 )' 순으로 분석되었으며 2007개정교육과정에서 제시하는 순서와는 차이가 있었다. 고등학생들의 천체관측 개념에 대한 지식상태 분석에서 개념의 구조화가 잘 이루어진 학생의 경우에는 하위 위계를 이루는 지구운동과 천구좌표계, 망원경 원리에 관한 문항을 잘 맞추었고, 상위 위계에 있는 망원경 설치와 관측 문항에서 정답률이 낮았다. 그러나 개념의 구조화가 덜 이루어진 학생의 지식상태는 하위 위계를 이루는 지구 운동 관련 문항에서 더 많이 틀렸고, 최상위 위계( 망원경 설치, 관측 )를 이루는 문항에 대한 정답률이 높았다. 지구과학I의 천체관측 단원에 대하여 학습자의 심리적 위계와 교과서의 논리 위계에 따라 학습과제를 제시하여 교수-학습한 결과, 개념의 형성률은 심리적 위계에 따라 수업한 경우가 유의미( p & .05 )하게 더 높았다.

This study explored a possibility of science concept learning in scientific practice-based science instruction through the review of literature about situated learning theories and practice-based science education. It was revealed that the situated learning theories were closely related to the recent trend in science education which emphasizes students' active engagement in scientific practices. From the perspective of situated learning, concept learning occurs in the process in which learners make use of concepts as resources and further develop the concepts through the emergence of conceptual agency during their participation in practices. The study also found that the situated learning perspectives could apply to science concept learning in scientific practice-based instruction: Science concepts are used as resources in practice-based science learning, students can better engage in scientific practices as they take advantage of science concepts as resources, and the emergence of conceptual agency can facilitate science concept learning during the participation in scientific practices. Implications for school science education were suggested.

Although many studies have investigated the effectiveness of concept mapping and the learning cycle, in Korea none have explored the effectiveness of concept mapping and the learning cycle combined. This study explored the effectiveness of concept mapping, the learning cycle, and a combination of concept mapping/learning cycle(CL) in high school biology class. Students' science achievement, the science related attitudes and scientific inquiry ability was measured. The results indicated that concept mapping, the learning cycle, and CL treatment were significantly different from the traditional one in science achievement(p< .05). However, the three treatments were not significantly different from each other. No significant difference exists among different learnings in high and average-ability students. But, concept mapping was the most effective in low-ability students. For the students' scientific inquiry ability, CL and learning cycle were more effective than concept mapping and traditional learning. No significant difference exists among different learnings in high-ability students. CL and learning cycle were more effective than concept mapping and traditional learning in average and low-ability students. For the students' science related attitudes, concept mapping, the learning cycle, and CL were more effective than the traditional learning. But, there was no significant difference among these three groups.

Along with the transformation of the knowledge-based environment, e-learning has become a main teaching and learning method, prompting various research efforts to be conducted in this field. One major research area in e-learning involves adaptive learning systems that provide personalized learning content according to each learner's characteristics by taking into consideration a variety of learning circumstances. Active research on ontology-based adaptive learning systems has recently been conducted to provide more efficient and adaptive learning content. In this paper, we design and propose an adaptive learning system based on the concept lattice of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) with the same objectives as those of ontology approaches. However, we are in pursuit of a system that is suitable for learning of specific domains and one that allows users to more freely and easily build their own adaptive learning systems. The proposed system automatically classifies the learning objects and concepts of an evolved domain in the structure of a concept lattice based on the relationships between the objects and concepts. In addition, the system adaptively constructs and presents the learning structure of the concept lattice according to each student's level of knowledge, learning style, learning preference and the learning state of each concept.

This study focused on the geographical concepts development and its zone of proximal development(ZPD) through the collaborative interaction. Among the conclusions are: 1) Students who have higher cognitive structure represented the Creator Seoul Metropolitan Area(GSMA) as a geographical concepts, not as a spontaneous concepts. The concepts is developed from concrete facts, subordinate element concept to basic element concept hierarchically. The most difficult concept that the learner should internalize was represented as the basic element concept. 2) Although ZPD of GSMA is individualized, it could be divided into 9 types. The ZPD was developed differently according to the qualitative differences how much more and how systematically represented the geographical concepts. The characteristics shown in this development procedure was that there was a quality change based on quantity extensive.

Mathematical misconception is one of the big obstacles of the underachieving students to learn mathematics correctly. This study aims to develop the instruction materials for secondary school students who are underachieving in mathematics to reduce the occurrence of the misconception and to help them to build the correct concept in the mathematical learning. Before developing the material, we tried to collect the misconception cases occurring in common mathematics lesson. This materials tries to provide key educational contents for mathematics teachers who is responsible for teaching underachieving student and help them to creative interesting ideas for lessons. The materials could be used not only as an teaching materials for underachieving students or students with the misconceptions, but also could be used as training materials for mathematics teachers.
