The purpose of this study is to investigate characteristics which are related with effective solution of technological problems. For this, an effective problem solver and an ineffective problem solver have been compared in terms of the problem solving activity with a population of students who are enrolled in College of Engineering, C University in Daejeon. As a result, this paper can be concluded as follows: An effective problem solver differs from an ineffective problem solver in terms of time consumed during problem solution modeling a problem solution identifying a problem cause and frequency and time consumed during evaluating a result.

Problem solving and mathematical applications have been increasingly emphasized in school mathematics over the past ten years. Recently it is recommended that mathematical applications and modeling situations be incorporated into the secondary school curriculum. Many researches on this approach have been conducted in Korea. But unfortunately two thirds of these researches have been studied by graduate students. Therefore, more professional researchers should be concerned with the study related to mathematical modelling activity. This study is planning to investigate and establish i) the concepts and meanings of mathematical model, mathematical modelling, and mathematical modelling process, ii) the properties of problem situations introduced and dealt with in mathematical modelling activity, and iii) relationship between mathematical modelling activity and problem solving activity, and so on. To accomplish this, this study is based on the analysis and comparison of 11 articles published in domestic journals and 22 domestic master papers.

문제은행 시스템은 학습 평가를 위한 문제를 DB로 구성한 다음, 추후에 인터넷으로 검색하여 재 사용하게 하는 시스템이므로 교사 업무의 효율성 및 비용이 절감되며, 사용자에게 제공할 문제 정보들을 체계적으로 관리, 저장, 검색할 수 있는 환경을 제공한다. 하지만 기존에 구축되어 있는 문제 은행 시스템들의 데이터들은 컴퓨터가 그 의미를 처리할 수 없기 때문에 동의어, 유의어들에 대한 정확한 검색이 어렵고, 단순한 키워드 검색으로 인하여 학생들과 교사들은 수많은 불필요한 검색 결과 속에서 원하는 정보를 다시 재 검색해야 하는 시간 낭비를 초래하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 본 논문에서는 시맨틱 웹 기반 기술인 OWL을 사용해서 문제은행 시스템의 온톨로지를 구성하고 개념 정의, 구조 및 관계를 명시한다. 그리고 온톨로지 기반위에 OWL 개체를 생성하고, SWRL에 정의된 규칙과 함께 추론 통해 시맨틱 검색을 가능하도록 하였다. 그 결과 데이터의 관계 및 의미 분석을 통한 향상된 검색 결과와 학습자와 교사가 다양하게 문제를 공유하고 재 사용함으로써 협업적 학습에 대한 효과를 기대할 수 있다.

본 연구는 초등학교 수학의 연산 영역에 있어서, 문제설정활동의 두 가지 방법(문제꾸미기, 문제만들기) 중 어느 방법이 4학년 아동의 수학적 문제해결력에 더 효과적인지 알아보고, 아동의 학습능력수준과 성별에 따라 수학적 문제해결력의 신장에 더 유용한 문제설정방법을 찾아보는데 그 목적이 있었다. 그 결과 '문제꾸미기'에 의한 문제설정방법이 학습 수준이 상 ${\cdot}$중위 집단에서 유용한 방법이며, 문제해결력 요소 중 문제구성력과 전략적용력을 신장시킬 수 있다는 방법이라는 것을 알 수 있었고 남녀성별에 따른 유의미한 차이는 없었다. 이런 연구 결과로 주어진 문제를 조건과 내용을 바꾸는 다소 쉬운 문제설정 방법보다는 어떤 상황만 제시하고 그 상황 속에서 문제를 만들어보는 문제꾸미기의 문제설정 방법이 문제해결력의 신장에 도움이 됨을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to see how young children's playfulness and ability to creatively problem solve can affect their behavior. young children's playfulness in creases with in creasing creativity and personality traits and behavioral problems decrease with increasing of playfulness. Young children's behavioral problems increase with increasing of creative personality traits. In addition, young children's playfulness and creative personality characteristics affect their behavioral problems. The impact on the behavioral problems with variables for playfulness and creative personality traits has a negative correlation with creative curiosity, a sense of humor and expression of fun. The cognitive and physical spontaneity of the playfulness are correlated positively to young children's behavioral problems.

This study examined the relationship between preservice teachers' mathematical understanding and problem posing in fractions multiplication and division. To this purpose, 41 preservice teachers performed visual representation and problem posing tasks for fraction multiplication and division, measured their mathematical understanding and problem posing ability, and examined the relationship between mathematical understanding and problem posing ability using cross-tabulation analysis. As a result, most of the preservice teachers showed conceptual understanding of fraction multiplication and division, and five types of difficulties appeared. In problem posing, most of the preservice teachers failed to pose a math problem that could be solved, and four types of difficulties appeared. As a result of cross-tabulation analysis, the degree of mathematical understanding was related to the ability to pose problems. Based on these results, implications for preservice teachers' mathematical understanding and problem posing were suggested.

When we face an unexpected challenge, should we stick to the original plan and persevere through the series of challenges? Or shall we pivot and transform our original plan into something new by taking into account the newly acquired information? This perennial question of perseverance versus pivot as two competing problem-solving strategies has puzzled our every day lives. In this study, based on the large-scale, nation-wide survey on entrepreneurship, I found that individual entrepreneurial orientation, which consists of innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactiveness, promotes an individual's tendency to choose new problems to solve. Perseverance strategy was found to positively moderates the relationship between innovativeness and the tendency to choose new problems to solve, whereas the relationship between risk-taking and the tendency to choose new problems to solve was found to be negatively moderated by perseverance strategy. Pivot strategy, on the other hand, was found to be positively moderates the relationship between proactiveness and the tendency to choose new problems to solve. These findings contributes to the stream of individual entrepreneurial orientation research by empirically testing two competing problem-solving strategies of perseverance and pivot to show their interaction effects with entrepreneurial orientation. Also the findings of this study expand the potential outcome of entrepreneurial orientation by adding an individual's tendency to choose new problems to solve rather than what he or she has already experienced before.

This study conducted experimental problem posing activities using real-life materials. This study investigated the changes on students' mathematical thoughts and attitudes through the activities. This study is conducted via participation of students in a 5th grade class of N elementary school located in Daegu city. As a qualitative case study, this study focused on processes of problem posing rather than results. The problems applying new situations appear, and the used mathematical terms, units, and figures became more practical. The numbers of problems made are increased gradually, and more complex conditions are added as activities are performed. Most of the students revealed interests about problem making activities.

Individuals with problematic hypersexual behavior (PHB) evince the inability to control sexual impulses and arousal. Previous studies have identified that these characteristics are related to structural and functional changes in the brain region responsible for inhibitory functions. However, very little research has been conducted on the functional connectivity of these brain areas during the resting state in individuals with PHB. Therefore, this study used functional magnetic resonance imaging devices with the intention of identifying the deficit of the functional connectivity in the executive control network in individuals with PHB during the resting state. Magnetic resonance imaging data were obtained for 16 individuals with PHB and 19 normal controls with similar demographic characteristics. The areas related to the executive control network (LECN, RECN) were selected as the region of interest, and the correlation coefficient with time series signals between these areas was measured to identify the functional connectivity. Between groups analysis was also used. The results revealed a significant difference in the strength of the functional connectivity of the executive control network between the two groups. In other words, decreased functional connectivity was found between the superior/middle frontal gyrus and the caudate, and between the superior/middle frontal gyrus and the superior parietal gyrus/angular gyrus in individuals with PHB. In addition, these functional Connectivities related to the severity of hypersexual behavior. The findings of this study suggest that the inability to control sexual impulses and arousal in individuals with PHB might be related to the reduced functional connectivity of executive control circuits.
