Finding or automatically generating problem instance is useful for algorithm analysis/test. The topic has been of interest in the field of hardware/software engineering and theory of computation. We apply objective value-distance correlation analysis to problem spaces, as previous researchers applied it to solution spaces. According to problems, we define the objective function by (1) execution time of tested algorithm or (2) its optimality; this definition is interpreted as difficulty of the problem instance being solved. Our correlation analysis is based on the following aspects: (1) change of correlation when we use different algorithms or different distance functions for the same problem, (2) change of that when we improve the tested algorithm, (3) relation between a problem instance space and the solution space for the same problem. Our research demonstrates the way of problem instance space analysis and will accelerate the problem instance space analysis as an initiative research.

웹 기반 학습(WBI)은 인터넷의 빠르게 확산되어 가고 있다. 또한, 학습자의 학습효과를 높이기 위한 많은 연구와 기술들이 적용되었다. 그러나, 대부분의 웹 기반 학습 시스템은 문제은행에서 반복적인 학습내용의 제공이나 학습의 패턴을 주는 학습자료 제공자 측면에서의 일방적인 학습방법을 택하고 있다. 시스템의 개발방법에서도 웹 기반 학습시스템은 전통적인 순차적 프로세스 개발방법에 따라 구현됨으로서 개발의 비효율성 밀 재사용, 유지보수등이 어려웠다. 본 연구에서는 문제은행에서 사용되는 문제추출 컴포넌트를 설계 및 구현하였다. 문제추출은 학습자의 학습효과를 높이기 위하여 문항난이도를 분석하여 학습자에게 적절한 문제가 출제될 수 있도록 하였다. 또한, 본 연구의 시스템에서 중요한 비즈니스 로직이 되는 난이도 분석 및 적용부분은 EJB컴포넌트로 구현함으로서 구현로직의 분리 및 재사용성, 유지보수성을 높였다.

본 연구에서는 2004년 11월에 시행된 '2005학년도 대학수학능력시험 수리영역 가형' 의 문항을 분석하였다. 즉, 2-모수 문항 반응 모형에 근거한 베이지안(Bayesian) 1.0을 이용하여 문항의 난이도 및 변별도를 측정하였으며 고전검사이론 프로그램임 테스트안(Testan) 1.0을 이용하여 문항의 신뢰도 및 오답지 매력도를 구하였다. 이 결과는, 학생들이 어느 단원을 어려워하고 어떤 내용을 이해하지 못 하는지 그 원인을 찾을 수 있으므로, 교수-학습의 기초 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

현행 대학수학능력시험에서는 영역별로 선택과목제가 본격적으로 도입되어 시행되고 있으며, 과목별 난이도의 차이를 사후적으로 보정하기 위하여 표준점수제를 도입하여 운영하고 있다. 그러나 표준점수제를 실제 운영해본 결과 적지 않은 문제점들이 드러난바 있다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 표준점수제의 문제점을 집중 분석해 보고, 이에 대한 대안으로 가산점수제를 제안하여 지난 2005 수능 결과에 적용해 보았다. 그 결과 제안된 가산점수제는 기존의 표준점수제가 갖고 있던 여러 가지 문제점들을 크게 완화하거나 해소하는 것으로 나타났다.

인터넷 기술의 발달에 따라 교육분야에서도 이를 도입하고 있다. 또한, 웹을 기반으로 하는 문제학습 시스템에서는 피험자의 학습효과를 높이려는 방법으로 학습결과를 반영하는 문항분석 이론이 연구되고 있다. 그러나, 기존의 웹 기반 학습시스템은 대부분 일방적인 학습내용의 제공이나 반복적인 학습에 그치고 있어 학습자의 학습효과를 기대하기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 문항분석이론 중 문항난이도를 이용한 학습단계별 웹 코스웨어를 설계 및 구현하였다. 학습단계 설정은 문항난이도의 결과에 따라 상.중.하의 단계로 나뉘어 학습자가 학습을 하기 전에 선택 할 수 있도록 하였다.

This study investigated how cognitive style and training context influenced visual discrimination skill acquisition and transfer under time pressure. This experiment consisted of a screening session, a training session, and a transfer session using random polygon comparison tasks. Screening session was designed to separate participants according to their cognitive style (analytic or holistic). Training session was divided into difficult and easy conditions. In transfer session, participants compared polygon pairs in a novel task. The stimuli were presented for 1.5 seconds to examine the influence of time pressure. Through the all sessions, this experiment measured accuracy and response time. According to the results of this study, analytic group responded as quickly as holistic group in the beginning of training session because time pressure induced them to the holistic strategy. However, as training session progressed, their slopes of reaction time increased, suggesting that their own analytic style emerged. Holistic group showed flatter slopes than did analytic group for training session. Of interest is the slopes increased at the beginning of transfer session, suggesting that they developed analytic strategies in difficult training context. It is suggested individuals differently develop strategic processing skills depending on cognitive styles even under time pressure.

In the construction industry, bidding competitiveness is the most basic and important competence of the company. Bidding competitiveness comes from competitive advantage, but the strategy of the company to capture bidding competitiveness varies with the characteristics of the project. In particular, overseas construction is where uniqueness of the construction industry and the specificity of international business coexist. This study analyzes the bidding success ratio and the level of bidding difficulty by project characteristics with 12,952 overseas construction bidding cases. Consequently, it was found that the bidding success ratio of Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and civil engineering was the lowest in each group of project characteristics, and therefore the level of bidding difficulty is high, respectively. In addition, it was confirmed that the bidding success ratio of small size or short duration project was relatively high, and the bidding success ratio of both the negotiated bidding in the bidding method group and the private sector in the client type group was respectively high. However, Kruskal-Wallis test in contract type and period shows that there is no statistically significant difference in the bidding success ratio by group.

This research analyzed the overall issues pertaining to the questions that appear in the professional landscape architect screening system to assess 1he recognition of test-takers when it comes to the test questions in terms of the question objectivity, appropriateness, difficulty level and so forth The purpose of this is to present a set of recommendations so that the screening system can he improved and the professional landscape architect screening system consolidate its position. This in turn can help the professional landscape architect qualification process consolidate its position and improve the status of the landscape area in the industrial field. The research of this study was conducted for the all-round development of Landscape Architecture. The research method was divided into two stages, and a group of experts was leveraged to study subjects that are tested and subjects allocated. A survey was conducted of candidates and certification holders to assess the questions that appear in the test in terms of their level, objectivity, difficulty level, tendency of questions and so forth. Firstly, the study demonstrated that the subjects tested in the professional landscape architect test are different from the testing subjects that are suggested in the enforcement ordinance of the National Technical Professional Law. In addition, o1her problems include the overvaluation of a subject for testing, a lack of objectivity in testing, and difficulty level adjustment of questions. One main reason for many of these kinds of problems is that the questions appeared without thorough review and there is a lack of management concerning the members of the commtittee that develops the question. Accordingly, to make up for these problems, a viable screening system such as the reorganization of subjects that are tested, assigning suitable subjects, securing of question objectivity, and difficulty level of developed questions are necessary.

In this study, the test that were used in entrance examination for chemistry class in a Science-Gifted Education Center for middle school students were analyzed by using criteria for identification and measurement of scientific giftedness and a classical test theory. The result of analysis exhibited that most of problems measured more than two elements of scientific giftedness and required applications of scientific knowledge of middle school level to solve problems. In the analysis of sub-elements of scientific giftedness, originality, fluency in creativity and finding problems/formulating hypothesis, planning inquiry, interpreting data in science process skills were dominant while drawing conclusion and generalization processes were lacking. In correlation analysis between total score and each type of problems, total score was most influenced by the problems measuring science inquiry linked with scientific knowledge. Item difficulty is moderately high and item discrimination is moderate.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the cohesion-related text factors that affected the correct answer rate of the English reading section in the Korean CSAT. To this end, reading passages of the 2014-2018 CSAT and CSAT mock test were collected and analyzed in terms of cohesion. And then, correlation analysis was implemented between the results regarding cohesion and item difficulty. The conclusions were as follows. First, the correct answer rate tended to increase as the linguistic burden of learners was reduced, when specific arguments between sentences were repeated. Second, there was no statistically significant correlation between the 8 sub-area of latent semantic analysis and the correct answer rate. Finally, the pedagogical implications of this study and suggestions for further study were discussed.
