In this study, we investigated high school students' analogy generating processes using the think-aloud method. Twelve high school students in Seoul participated in this study. The students were asked to generate analogies on ionic bonding and were also interviewed after their activities. Their activities and interviews were recorded and videotaped. After classifying the analogy generating processes into the three stages-encoding, exploring sources, and mapping, several process components were identified. The analyses of the results indicated that they checked the target concept given and selected one for a salient attribute among many attributes of the target concept at the stage of encoding. After selecting the salient attribute, they translated the salient attribute that is a scientific term into an everyday term, which is named as 'extracting salient similarities.' At the stage of exploring sources, they chose the sources based on salient similarities and chose the final source through circular processes, which included the process components of 'evaluating the sources' and 'discarding the sources.' At the final stage, they added the attributes to analogs and mapping them to the attributes of the target concept, which is named as 'mapping shared attributes.' There were some cases that 'mapping shared attributes' appeared after they specified the situation of analogs or assumed new situation, which is named as 'specifying the situations.' Some students recognized unshared attributes in their analogs.

This study starts with the idea that Korean mathematical word 'byon' which means 'side' of polygons or angles is very ambiguous. The purpose of this study is to make the concept and range of 'byon' clear and to suggest the ideas which can help children understand the concept of 'byon'. For this, various dictionary and the past Korean mathematics curriculums are reviewed. As a result, two attributes 'byon' has are identified and some reasons which block children from understanding 'byon' are detected in its introduction method of mathematics text books and inkhorn of the mathematical term. Finally, two different ideas for helping children understand the concept 'byon' are suggested based on the conclusion of this research.

As fierce competition is expected in the wearable devices marekt, it is needed to develop a technology planning that can increase consumer acceptance. This study aims to provide implications for technology planning of wearable devices by examining consumer preferences for the devices. For this purpose we employed a conjoint analysis. In the process of the analysis, we considered the trend of anticipatory standardization for wearable devices in an attempt to improve objectivity of analysis whilst many previous studies relied on focus group interview. For the anticipatory standardization information, we utilized liaisons and projects of wearable devices at International Electrotechnical Commission, and we designed a conjoint survey on the basis of the information. We conducted an online survey, and a total of 229 individuals responded to our survey. The result of conjoint analysis shows that main use and enhanced features were more important attributes than the others were. However, consumer preferences for detailed levels of each attribute were different by gender and age groups. This result implies that technology planning of wearable devices require distinct approaches by consumer segments.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the priority of menu management by importance-performance analysis (IPA) of school foodservice menu attributes. Questionnaires were distributed to 448 school dietitians with an official letter, and a total of 292 responses were used for analysis. From the 21 menu attributes, the factors of 'nutrition', 'educational effect', 'capability consideration', 'ease of quality management', 'efficiency', and 'preference of students' were induced from exploratory factor analysis. The levels of importance (p<0.01) and performance (p<0.05) of the 'nutrition' factor were significantly higher with nutrition teachers than school dietitians, while the importance of the 'preference of students' factor showed significantly higher score with school dietitians (p<0.05). As a result of gap analysis for IPA, only the 'efficiency' factor was located in the area where performance was higher than importance, whereas no menu attribute factors were included in the 'concentrate here' area by the usual IPA. Further analysis showed that there should be more effort to improve the performance of an 'educational effect' factor for a school foodservice menu.

This study aims to examine visitors' usage intention of the mobile AR(Augmented reality) application for tourism in Korea. For this purpose, the study analyzed how three attributes of AR tourguide app such as interactivity, vividness, and novelty have influenced on the tourist in terms of three realms of their flow, their experience (education, entertainment, esthetics, and escapism), and their usage intention for the future. It conducted an online survey from 20 to 30 year-old 291 participants and used a structural equation modeling. Survey findings show that first, novelty has a positive influence on the state of flow in AR application after vividness; Interactivity does not any significant effect on the tourists' flow. Second, when tourists explore the flow in the AR tourguide app, it affects all realms of experience economy of education, entertainment, esthetics, and escapism. Third, when using AR tour guide app in the context of historical heritage site, the two dimensions of entertainment and education influence the usage intention but the other two of esthetics and escapism does not. This study has presented a theoretical contribution that it focuses on historical sites as one type of tourist attractions and suggests a new modeling integrating AR attributes, flow, experience, and usage intention. In addition, it can be used to become a practical reference for revising an user-oriented AR application and customer-tailored AR tourism.

This study intends to analyze the value of school forests, one type of urban forest. For this purpose, four attributes of school forests were investigated, considering ecological, educational, social and economic values using a conjoint model as the stated preference. Based on literature reviews, the levels of the four attributes were selected, and a questionnaire survey was given to 279 urban residents divided into 2 groups: those impacted by school forests and those not. The study results suggest that the most important attribute of school forests is economic value, and next is ecological, social and educational value according to the part-worth model. The fitness level of the model is 0.900(total group) which is very significant. As for the economic value, free and 1,000 won are more critical factors than the other 2 levels, 5,000 won and 10,000 won and air pollution purification and making the school landscape are more critical factors than small habitats and microclimate factors. In addition, regarding the social value related to residents' leisure activities，the utility of nature observation is higher than walking and exercising. Finally, for educational value, understanding nature's importance is more critical than the emotions and learning of students. The estimated WTP per household/month is 3,580 won, the group related to school forestsis 3,650 won and the non-related group is 3,540 won. Based on these results, the estimated total economic value of all households per year is 6,820 hundred million won. The group related to school forests is 6,970 hundred million won and the non-related group is 6,750 hundred million won.

The purpose of this study was to investigate 6th grade pupil's thoughts during classification activities. Two suitable tools in classification activity achievement were developed to achieve this purpose. The first was an artificial stimulus card in which the attribute was prominent; and the other a natural stimulus card in which the attribute was less prominent. Participants of the study were 8 6th grade pupils from D elementary school in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. Data were collected from interviews with the pupils, the pupil's recordings of classification, the investigator's observation of pupil's actions, and video recordings of the pupil's subject classification process. Results found in this study were as following. First, when doing classification 6th grade pupils considered attribute observation, attribute estimation, preliminary inspection, criteria selection, and sample identification. Second, 6th grade pupil classification thought process was found to be repetitive, passing through the steps of attribute observation, attribute estimation, preliminary inspection, criteria selection, and lastly, sample identification. Third, 6th grade pupils took advantage of cognitive economic efficiency. Study findings also revealed guidance for the teaching and learning of scientific classification. First, once teachers understand the classification thought process of students, more effective classification guidance will be possible. Second, it is necessary that guidance fit each step of the classification thought process.

정부주도적인 획일정책이나 지시명령적 관여 등 80년대의 정치.사회적 상황이나 시대적 배경이 대교협 발족의 근본적 동기가 되었다고 본다. 대학들은 근원적으로 그 자체가 하나의 자치기구이며, 학문공동체이며, 자기통제기관이다. 이러한 대학의 속성을 살리기 위해 정부와 대학 간의 협의조정기구로서 협의체의 필요성을 깨닫고, 우리나라 대학의 자율성 신장을 위해 하나의 이정표를 세웠다는 점에서 대교협의 큰 의의가 있다고 평가된다.

This study investigated the mapping errors induced in learning the concept of reaction rate with analogies, and compared these mapping errors by the analogy presentation types. Tenth graders (N=418) at a high school were assigned to the four groups by the target concepts and the analogy presentation types. The target concepts were 'concentration and reaction rate' and 'temperature and reaction rate'. In presenting analogy, the verbal and the verbal/pictorial analogs were used. After the students learned one of the analogs, a mapping test was administered. From the analysis, eight types of mapping errors were identified: overmapping, artificial mapping, failure to map, rash mapping, mismapping, mapping of a superficial feature, retention of a base feature, and impossible mapping. According to the analogy presentation types and the features of the target concepts, there were some differences in the frequencies of mapping errors. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.
