The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree to which the middle school mathematics curriculum matched the item difficulty levels of representative mathematics items. The items used in this study were developed for the National Assessment of Educational Achievement. Ranks for difficulty values of the 60 multiple-choice item were calculated via both Classical Test Theory and Item Response Theory and correlated with the rank order of the mathematics content and cognitive domains sequence. There are six content domains; number and operation, algebra, measurement, figure, pattern and function, and probability and statistics. The cognitive domains include computation, understanding, reasoning and problem-solving. Results suggest a congruence between cognitive domain's sequence and item difficulty levels of items based on that sequence. This finding indicates that the linear or hierarchical assumptions concerning the sequence appears to be reasonable. The characteristics of items that were exceptions to this trend were addressed.

The current elementary mathematics curriculum does not include intensive quantity. However, other subjects also deal with intensive quantity. In order to find a solution to this problem from a pedagogical point of view, the curriculum of mathematics, science, social studies, and elementary textbooks were compared and analyzed, focusing on intensive quantity. As a result of the analysis, the learning contents of intensive quantity were not explicitly presented or the term was not used in the elementary mathematics curriculum. However, intensive quantity was used as a material of activity and word problems in elementary mathematics textbooks. In science and social studies, it was also found that the learning order and content did not match, such as calculating the intensive quantity. For effective learning, it is necessary to consider presenting intensive quantity in elementary mathematics, and to be careful in the composition of learning order and content.

This study presents a methodology for optimization of static characteristics of golf club shafts. Stacking sequence for the optimal composite shaft performance is searched. A new objective function is defined for the simultaneous optimization of flexural and torsional stiffnesses. Classical lamination theory is used for the static analysis. As the optimization tool, genetic algorithm is applied with the stacking sequence as design. variables. With the optimal stacking sequence, dynamic characteristics of the shaft is also studied.

The curriculum of programming education including algorithm has been recognized as a very important subject to many students majoring in natural sciences and engineering including electronic engineering and computer related departments. This study analyzed usability of the learning system of programming languages using basic algorithms so as for students to easily learn basic algorithm among the entire programming curriculum. The results show that the grade of learning achievement of experimental group using the learning system is 15 points higher than that of non-experimental group and the grade of interest, concentration, effectiveness, understanding, convenience, suitability, and attending a lecture in the next semester are 4 points or more of 5 points criterion.

정보화시대에 요구하는 인재는 문제를 인식하고 이런 문제를 풀기 위해 다양한 전문가들과 함께 창의적인 사고를 통해 해결책을 제시하는 인물이다. 정보영재교육의 목표 역시 창의적 인재를 기르는 데 있으나, 프로그래밍과 알고리즘 교육은 특정 프로그래밍 언어의 사용법이나 문법 위주의 교육, 정렬 및 탐색과 같은 알고리즘 그 자체에 치중함으로서 이러한 목표에 도달하고 있지 못하다는 지적이 많다. 이에 본 논문에서는 창의적인 알고리즘을 설계하고 개발하는데 필요한 사고력, 즉 사고 과정에 대해 안내하고 생각하는 알고리즘적 사고력을 기르기 위한 방안으로 실생활 주제의 이야기 쓰기를 활용하는 교수 학습 프로그램을 제안하였다. 반성적 사고와 창의성을 기르는 데 효과적인 것으로 알려진 이야기 쓰기 활동에서 출발하여 사건 요소 추출과 시간적 질서 분석하기, 순서도로 알고리즘 표현하기, 동료 학습자와 토의하기 등의 과정을 통해 알고리즘적 사고력을 향상시킬 수 있도록 하였다.

three degree of freedom (3DoF), three degree of freedom plus (3DoF+), six degree of freedom(6DoF) 등 몰입형 비디오의 높은 몰입감을 제공하기 위해 다중 비디오 영상을 효율적으로 처리하는 기법이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 이를 위해 원본의 몰입형 비디오가 입력되면 기본 시점 영상과 추가 시점 영상에서의 중복을 제거하고 기본 시점(basic view)에서는 보이지 않지만 추가 시점(additional view)에서는 보이는 영역을 추출하는 프루닝 과정이 이뤄지는 부호기에서의 부호화 모드 결정은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문은 test model for immersive video (TMIV)의 모드 중 하나인 MPEG immersive video (MIV) view mode 를 통해 만들어진 프루닝 (pruning) 그래프에서 선택된 시점들을 활용하여 뷰 간 중복성을 제거할 수 있는 효율적인 부호화 구조로 클러스터를 기반으로 병렬적으로 부호화하는 클러스터 기반 정렬 기법을 제안한다. 선택된 시점들을 인덱스 순서에 따라 부호화하는 기존 방법에 비해 제안하는 방법은 peak signal-to-noise ratio (Y-PSNR)에서 평균 3.9%의 BD-rate 절감을 보여주었다. 본 연구는 또한 더 객관적인 품질 측정을 위해 immersive video peak signal-to-noise ratio (IV-PSNR)에 의한 비교 결과도 함께 제공하며, 참조 순서에 맞게 정렬한 프루닝 기반 정렬 기법과의 비교도 함께 제공한다.

Regarding the formula for measuring the area of a circle, the Archimedes' constant is generally written in front of the square of radius length, but there were a few cases where the Archimedes' constant was written after that in Germany and France. In this study, two things are studied: First, how many students are writing the Archimedes' constant after that? Second, what do the students think about the written order of characters in the formula for measuring the area of a circle? In the online survey of 201 people aged 14 to 21 in Korea, there was a perception of more than 86% that both are possible or only after that are possible. In this study, it is suggested that there is a difference between the general written order of characters and the natural perception of students formed through school education. In addition, students aged 14 to 16 thought more that the Archimedes' constant should be written after that, and after that age, there was a greater perception that both are possible without confusion of meaning. It can be seen that the change in students' perception has emerged through school education on natural mathematical written order of characters after middle school courses. From this point of view, the most common perception can be that if there is no confusion in meaning, then both expressions are possible.

Outcomes based engineering education is not necessary only for the accreditation by the ABEEK, but the actual improvement and enhancement of the engineering education. Also, it is the new and big trend in engineering education filed world widely. The new methodology for performing outcomes based education has been proposed for engineering education and the practical application for so called 'life-long learning' outcome has been presented. Furthermore, the way to 'close-the-loop' for CQI(continuous quality improvement) in engineering education has been shown.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify high school students' conceptual differentiation patterns on human digestion system. The subjects were 124 high school students and this group was guided to independently construct concept maps. Among them, 19 were selected for an in-depth interview and a short test. The concept maps, interview transcripts and the results of short-test were analyzed to identify conceptual differentiation patterns. The results were as follows. Mainly three distinct conceptual differentiation patterns were identified. The first pattern can be named as an 'Free-flow type'. The group belongs to this pattern expressed numerous examples than meaningful concepts with unclear understanding of hierarchial relation between each concepts. Also, this group had difficulties in grasp interrelations of different concepts. The second pattern can be identified as 'Sequence type'. This group constructed concept maps by featuring conceptual sequence. The group applied meaningful learning, yet assembled concept maps primarily according to sequence of learning and exhibited less organized concept maps than hierarchial type. The third pattern can be named as 'Hierarchial type'. All students elaborated concept maps after lessons. The sequence type changed hierarchial type or sequence mixed with hierarchial type but free-flow type was hardly changed.
