The purpose of this paper is to analyze the way of teaching and learning logarithm in high school mathematics and provide practical suggestions for teaching logarithms. For such purpose, it reviewed John Napier's life and his ideas, the effect of logarithms on seventeenth century science, and a logarithmic scale and its methods of calculation. With this reviews, introduction of logarithms with function concept, logarithmic calculation with common logarithms, and the formula of converting to other logarithmic bases were reviewed for finding a new perspective of teaching and learning logarithms in high school mathematics. Through such historical and pedagogical reviews, this paper presented practical suggestions and comments about the way of teaching and learning logarithms in high school mathematics.

In order to overcome the limitations of the instructor-centered lecture-style teaching method, recently, flipped learning, a learner-centered teaching method, has been widely introduced. However, despite the many advantages of flipped learning, there is a problem that students cannot solve questions that arise during prior learning in real time. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, we developed DBbot, an assistant chatbot for database design course managed in the flipped learning method. The DBBot is composed of a chatbot app for learners and a chatbot management app for instructors. Also, it's implemented so that questions that instructors can anticipate in advance, such as questions related to class operation and every semester repeated questions related to learning content, can be answered using Google's DialogFlow. It's implemented so that questions that the instructor cannot predict in advance, such as questions related to team projects, can be answered using the question/answer DB and the BM25 algorithm, which is a similarity comparison algorithm.

최근 건강-의료 분야의 학과 신설 및 전공자가 급격하게 늘어남에 따라 해부학 교육의 질적 향성 및 학습자의 학습효과 증진을 도모하기 위해서는 새로운 강의방식의 도입이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 해부학 교육에 있어 면대면 강의에 사용한 내용을 바탕으로 가상강의 컨텐츠를 자체개발하였고, 2007-2009년 간호학과 및 스포츠과학부의 전공필수 과목인 해부학 강의를 가상강의 방식으로 실시하였다. 이 과목을 수강한 2개 학과 231명을 대상으로 강의 종료 후 가상강의실 게시판 및 컨텐츠 활용 빈도, 개별 설문조사, 학기말 성적을 확보하여 가상강의실 활용도, 만족도 및 학업성취도 상호간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 학생들의 만족도, 난이도, 흥미도, 평가의 적절성, 전공연계성 등에서 긍정적인 평가를 받았다. 또한 가상강의실의 로그인 횟수와 게시판에 대한 학생들의 만족도가 높게 나타났다. 학업성취도는 난이도 (r=0.411, p<0.01)와 높은 상관관계를 나타내었고, 만족도-흥미도(r=0.407, p<0.01), 만족도-전공연계성 (r=0.507, p<0.01), 흥미도-전공연계성 간에도 높은 상관관계를 보였으나 흥미도-전공연계성(r=0.474, p<0.01) 등에서 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 결론적으로 본 연구를 통해 건강-의료 분야의 전공자뿐만 아니라 다양한 분야에서 폭넓게 요구하고 있는 해부학 강의수요를 효과적으로 흡수함과 아울러 해부학교육에 있어 새로운 지평을 열수 있는 가상강의에 대한 연구로서, 향후 해부학 교육에 있어 충분한 활용가치가 있는 효과적인 교수법이 될 것으로 사료된다.

In anatomical education, cyber class has been studied as a strong strategy coincided with academic characterestics. In the present study, we investigated the correlation between self-evaluation factors, use of cyber classroom and academic achievement of health allied undergraduate students according to application of cyber class in the anatomical education. The subjects of study were totally 231 students who were majored in nursing science (n=143) and sports science (n=88) in last 3 years (2007-2009). Based on frequency of log-in, survey and grade of score, we analyzed correlation of their factors and their scores using frequency analysis, T-test and analysis of variance. Regardless of their major, most of students gave high scores in all of self-evaluation factors, convinience of cyber classroom, suitability of assignment. The frequency of log-in correlated highly with academic achievement(r=0.246, p<0.01, nursing science; r=0.234, p<0.05 sports medicine). The academic achievement also had a high correlation of 0.218(p<0.01) with the level of difficulty in nursing science students, 0.499(p<0.05) with the levels of satisfaction difficulty and interest. in sports science students. This study suggested that cyber class was very useful and would be a promising strategy in anatomical education.
