Early algorithm education is very important in order to nurture excellent S/W developers in an information society. However a algorithm learning is a great challenge to elementary school students since understanding what a computer algorithm written in a static text format meant to do is difficult. It is expected that a student can easily visualize a algorithm through animations. In this study, we evaluate the pedagogical effectiveness of algorithm visualizations in teaching the fundamental data structures and algorithms in elementary schools. Thus we defined a new measure called 'Algorithm Visualization Factor(AVF)' and developed both text-oriented and animation-oriented PPTs of algorithm education elements, that is, Stack, Queue, Bubble Sort, Heap Sort, BDF, and DFS. We have conducted experiments and evaluations on diverse students groups. Extensive experiment results show that the average score of the student groups using animation-orirented PPT is greater(22%) than the one of the student groups using text-orirented PPT.

기술의 발전에 따라 사회, 경제, 산업에서 다양한 변화를 겪고 있다. 이러한 변화를 4차 산업 혁명이라고 부르며, 이러한 변화를 주도하는 기술로 로봇이 주목받고 있다. 로봇은 다양한 연구에서 교육적 효과가 뛰어나다는 것이 확인되었고, 이에 따라 로봇을 교육에 도입하기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되었다. 하지만, 로봇교육과 관련된 다양한 요인이 로봇 교육의 활성화를 저해하고 있었다. 특히, 다른 나라에 비해 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도는 부정적이었으며, 이러한 부정적인 태도는 2015 개정 교육과정에서 로봇 교육의 어려움을 유발할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도와 다양한 요인에 따른 차이를 분석하였다. 연구 대상은 K 대학에 다니고 있는 317명의 예비 교사이었으며, 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도를 측정하기 위하여 선행 연구에서 활용한 Negative Attitude towards Robots Scale(NARS)를 사용하였다. NARS를 통하여 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도를 살펴본 결과, 성별에 따라 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 차이가 나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 로봇을 조작한 경험과 로봇 관련 강의를 수강한 여부가 로봇에 대한 태도가 차이 나게 만드는 요소인 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 반대로 매체를 통한 로봇을 접촉한 경험은 로봇에 대한 태도에 관련이 없었다. 이와 같은 연구를 통하여 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도에 미치는 요인을 살펴볼 수 있었다. 향후 연구에서는 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도를 긍정적으로 바꾸기 위한 방안에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

Today, as the number of applicants for admission decreases, competition among universities is deepening in Korea. Especially, the existence of local universities has led to intense competition to increase the enrollment rate of new students and reduce dropout rate. To survive in this competition, local universities are making various efforts; however, the primary problem is improving their educational service quality. In this study, we have developed a device to measure educational service quality which can be applied to the field of higher education, and factors that determine educational service quality are dragged through this device. In addition, this research identifies which statistically significant factors play a part in overall satisfaction and word of mouth effect, and interprets 29 quality attributes using importance-satisfaction transformed index.

At this point, it is necessary to have the analysis on the satisfaction and effectiveness awareness of the CHLS. The goal of this paper is to suggest an evaluation model for satisfaction and pedagogical effectiveness of CHLS and to support the management of satisfaction and effectiveness awareness of the CHLS for the low-income bracket children. Our major contributions can be summarized as follows: First, we present an evaluation model of satisfaction and effectiveness awareness of the CHLS for the low-income bracket children. Second, we survey the satisfaction, effectiveness awareness and improvement facts from the students who divided according to their sex, residence area and classes and compare with suggesting evaluation models. This paper is to find the measurement of the satisfaction and effectiveness awareness of the CHLS for the low-income bracket children. Furthermore, we can use this model as a material to balance the education opportunity, which is the purpose of CHLS, and abolish the education differentials.

This study examined the implications of a place-based earth science program integrated with Mathematics. 11 pre-service earth science teachers and 22 middle school students participated in the service education activities of earth science for 30 hours focusing on the measurement of the earth's size through earth science experiments as part of the middle school curriculum. In order to minimize errors that may occur during the earth's size measurement experiments using Eratosthenes's shadows length method of the ancient Greek era, the actual data were collected after triangulation ratios were conducted in the locations of two middle schools: one in remote metropolitan and the other in rural area. The two schools' students shared the final estimate result. Through this process, they learned the mathematical method to express the actual data effectively. Participants, experienced the importance and difficulty of the repetitive and accurate data acquisition process, and also discussed the causes of errors included in the final results. It implies that a Place-Based Earth Science Program activity can contribute to students' increased-understanding of the characteristics of earth science inquiry and to developing their problem solving skills, thinking ability, and communication skills as well, which are commonly emphasized in science and mathematics in the 2015 reunion curriculum. It is expected that a place-based science program can provide a foundation for developing an integrated curriculum of mathematics and science.

Despite the growth in public concern about health information, the ratio of users who can search for accurate and reliable health information sources has been found to be quite low. Public libraries, as the best contact point to general users, must provide training programs for improving health literacy so that users will have the ability to search and analyze health information, judge the accuracy and reliability of resources, and make informed health-related decisions. This study developed a health information literacy education program suitable for Korean public library users. The effectiveness of the training was measured after administering the program, and necessary improvements were identified. As a result, this study found the education program had the following effects: improved public library users' familiarity with CHI-related terms, improved users' ability to find CHI-related information resources on the Internet, and significantly improved knowledge about health-related websites and information sources. In addition, users expressed interest in seminars on a variety of health information sources in the public library and asked that CHI-related education be included in the library's regular programming. However, this research represented the first time CHI-related education for public library users was performed in Korea, and therefore many limitations were present in the education instructor, the diversity of subjects, and the methodology. Development of more advanced CHI-related education programs for users is still required.
