The purpose of this study was to analyze the problem solving strategies of elementary school students and to find out correlations between the functional mental capacity, the perseveration error and the Creature Card Task solving ability. To study this purpose, four categories were selected through pilot test. The sample consisted of 231, the 4th grade students and the 5th grade students in Inchon, Korea and selected 32 students among them. Three instruments were used in this study, Creature Card Task, FIT(Figural Intersection Test) and WCST(Wisconsin Card Sorting Test). Researcher interviewed 32 students about Creature Card Task solving strategies and tests with FIT, WCST. Major findings of the study are as follows: 1. Creature Card Task solving strategies of the selected 4th & 5th grade students were different. Some students solved problems during individual interviews. 2. Creature Card Task solving abilities were significantly correlated with the functional mental capacity and the perseveration error.

The purpose of the present study was to test hypothesis that, because it uses tri-dimensional sensory pathway which have been showed a higher rate of neural activities than uni- or bi-dimensional's, lab-activity-based instruction is more effective teaching strategy in learning science than verbal-based instruction. In the present study, manipulative teaching strategy that uses visual, somatosensory and auditory information pathway was regarded as a mode of tri-dimensional sensory inputs. In addition, verbal teaching strategy that uses mainly auditory and a little visual information pathway was used as a mode of bi-dimensional sensory inputs. Fifty-six students who failed to successfully solve two proportional reasoning tasks (i.e., pouring water tasks) were sampled for this research from a junior high school. The subjects were randomly divided into a manipulative or a verbal teaching group, and given manipulative or verbal tutoring on the use of proportional reasoning strategies and a test of proportional reasoning during instruction. The results showed that manipulative group's performance on the test of proportional reasoning during instruction showed significantly higher performance than verbal group's (t=2.45, p<0.02). The present study also discussed some educational implications of the results.

This paper presents a technique for an agent to adaptively behave to unforeseen and dynamic circumstances. Since the traditional methods utilized the information about an environment to control intelligent agents, they were robust but could not behave adaptively in a complex and dynamic world. A behavior-based method is suitable for generating adaptive behaviors within environments, but it is necessary to devise a hybrid control architecture that incorporates the capabilities of inference, learning and planning for high-level abstract behaviors. This Paper proposes a 2-level control architecture for generating adaptive behaviors to perceive and avoid dynamic moving obstacles as well as static obstacles. The first level is behavior-network for generating reflexive and autonomous behaviors, and the second level is to infer dynamic situation of agents. Through simulation, it has been confirmed that the agent reaches a goal point while avoiding static and moving obstacles with the proposed method.

The aim of this study was to explore how a novice science teacher's epistemological framing, characterized from her modeling instruction, evolved over time. We observed that the teachers' framing changed over time, as she collaborated with researchers to plan, facilitate, and reflect on a series of lessons to support students' small-group scientific modeling. We tried to understand how such experiences contributed to the changes in her framing. One 8th grade science teacher with two years of teaching experience participated in the study. The teacher collaborated with researchers for four months to co-plan and facilitate 18 lessons that included small-group scientific modeling. She also engaged in cogenerative reflection on the lessons for 13 times. All of her lessons and reflections were video-recorded, transcribed, and qualitatively analyzed for the purpose of the study. Our findings showed that the teacher's epistemological framing, characterized from her interactions with students during modeling lessons, evolved during the study period: transitioning from an emphasis on students merely "filling in blanks" to prioritizing "constructing personal reasoning" and ultimately to focusing on the "social construction of scientific reasoning." The teacher's perception about what students are capable of changed, as she observed students during the modeling lessons, and this led to the shifts in her framing. Furthermore, through her engagement in planning, implementing, and reflecting on modeling lessons with researchers, she came to recognize the value of student collaboration in knowledge-building processes. These results can offer implications for supporting and studying teachers' epistemological framing and modeling-based teaching by partnering with them.

The main thesis of this article is that the decisive point of creativity education is the cultivation of critical thinking capability. Although the narrow conception of creativity as divergent thinking is not subsumed under that of critical thinking, the role of divergent thinking is not so crucial in the science context of creative problem-solving. On the contrary, the broad conception of creativity as focusing on the reference to utility and the third conception of creativity as a process based on the variation and combination of existing pieces of information are crucial in creative problem-solving context, which are yet subsumed under that of critical thinking. The emphasis on critical thinking education is connected with the characteristics of contemporary knowledge-based society. This rapidly changing society requires situation-adaptive or situation-sensitive cognitive ability, whose core is critical thinking capability. Hence, the education of critical thinking is to be centered on the learning of blowing-how and procedural knowledge but not of knowing-that and declarative knowledge. Accordingly, the learning of critical thinking is to be headed towards the cultivation of competence but not just of performance. In conclusion, when a rational problem-solving through critical and logical thinking turns out consequently to be novel, we call it creative thinking. So, creativity is an emergent property based on critical and logical thinking.

In this study, students' thoughts were searched according to the types of experiments related to the "law of definite proportions" in 9th grade science textbooks. The most common four types of experiments in textbooks were selected and analyzed for this study. It was found that the experiments needed various preconceptions and complex inferring process by students. But most of the students could not catch the concept understanding desired from the experiments. They just perceived simple observation from their senses. These phenomena were common regardless of types of experiments. These means that the level of preconceptions and inferring process for the interpretation of the experimental data did not match with students' level of thoughts. The goals of the experiments in science textbooks are to increase students' inquiry ability, and to acquire science concepts by themselves from the experiment results. But if the contents of experiments are not suitable to students' understanding level, the educational effects of the performance of these experiments were not positive. Therefore, these experiments need contents revisions for students to acquire the concept related to the "law of definite proportions" by themselves.

본 논문에서는 서술형 수학 문제 풀이 모델의 숫자 대소관계 파악을 위한 명시적 자질추출방식 Explicit Feature Extraction(EFE) Reasoner 모델을 제안한다. 서술형 수학 문제는 자연현상이나 일상에서 벌어지는 사건을 수학적으로 기술한 문제이다. 서술형 수학 문제 풀이를 위해서는 인공지능 모델이 문장에 함축된 논리를 파악하여 수식 또는 답을 도출해야 한다. 때문에 서술형 수학 문제 데이터셋은 인공지능 모델의 언어 이해 및 추론 능력을 평가하는 지표로 활용되고 있다. 기존 연구에서는 문제를 이해할 때 숫자의 대소관계를 파악하지 않고 문제에 등장하는 변수의 논리적인 관계만을 사용하여 수식을 도출한다는 한계점이 존재했다. 본 논문에서는 자연어 이해계열 모델 중 SVAMP 데이터셋에서 가장 높은 성능을 내고 있는 Deductive-Reasoner 모델에 숫자의 대소관계를 파악할 수 있는 방법론인 EFE 를 적용했을 때 RoBERTa-base 에서 1.1%, RoBERTa-large 에서 2.8%의 성능 향상을 얻었다. 이 결과를 통해 자연어 이해 모델이 숫자의 대소관계를 이해하는 것이 정답률 향상에 기여할 수 있음을 확인한다.
