This research studied the role of images between visual thinking and analytic thinking to contribute to the ongoing discussion of visual thinking and analytic thinking and images in mathematics education. In this study, we investigated the thinking processes of mathematically gifted students who solved tasks generalizing patterns and we analyzed how images affected problem solving. We found that the students constructed concrete images of each cases and dynamic images and pattern images from transforming the concrete images. In addition, we investigated how images were constructed and transformed and what were the roles of images between visual thinking and analytic thinking. The results showed that images were constructed, transformed, and sophisticated through interaction of visual thinking and analytic thinking. And we could identify that images played central roles in moving from visual thinking to analytic thinking and from analytic thinking to visual thinking.

Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users. According to one analysis of traffic accidents over a five year period, pedestrians accounted for about 40% of all road traffic deaths in South Korea. Although some policy and engineering approaches have been taken to reduce and prevent traffic accidents, the annual accident change rate is -0.7%, which is insufficient. This study verifies the effectiveness of presenting visual messages to pedestrians and the effect from adding auditory messages to the visual messages. The experiment was conducted on crosswalks adjacent to an intersection, and safety behaviors were recorded for a total of 898 pedestrians and considered sufficient. As a result of the study, overall pedestrian safety behavior improved when both visual and auditory messages were presented, rather than just visual messages. Therefore, the results indicate it is more effective to provide a mixed visual/auditory form of messages, rather than providing single stimulus messages.

This study classified the categorization process of convergence products as a rule-based and a similarity-based categorization process. And we examined that how the categorization process was determined according to information types(visual vs. visual + verbal) about the components of two prototypes before convergence and thinking styles(holistic vs. analytic). The result of this study showed: (1) The rule-based categorization process appeared more in case of visual information with verbal information than only visual information. (2) Analytic thinkers chose a rule-based categorization process more than holistic thinkers. These findings provide the theoretical and practical implications to comprehend the categorization process of convergence products and the judgement for consideration set from various convergence products.

해양오염사고를 표시하는 기존의 방법은 사고의 위치를 점으로 표시하는 방법, 사고의 빈도나 규모를 해도에 영역(Heat map)으로 표시하는 방법, 사고정보를 코드화하여 그래프로 표시하는 방법, 그리고 사고의 위험도를 평가하여 해도에 구획을 정하여 해당 구획의 위험도를 표시하는 방법 등이 해양사고 관련 연구나 분석에 주로 이용되어 왔다. 하지만, 이런 기존의 사고표시방법은 정보를 제한적으로만 표시할 수 있어, 종합적인 사고정보를 전달하기에는 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 해양오염사고의 정보를 효율적으로 이용 및 전달하기 위해 기름유출사고를 시각화하여 압축적으로 표현할 수 있는 방안에 대하여 연구하였다.

Graphic thinking for the idea sketches brings about variations between abstract realm and concrete one, and between conceptual realm and perceptual one. When design information is projected to the thinking process, some images are generated, and transformed. We reviewed the sketching devices for computerization to deal with a lot of design data in the computing environment. The LCD Tablet can be a substitute for the Pen & Paper to get rid of irksome tasks at handling the design data. Using a protocol analysis technique, we examined the influences of different design information, which is consisted of verbal concepts and/or visual images, and abstract information and/or concrete one. The findings show that there are no significant differences of influences between verbal/visual information and abstract concrete information at the conceptual design. These facts support that graphic thinking process is progressed with the perceptual and mental image.

Researchers have suggested that students should be experienced in progress of geometric thinking set out in naive and intuitive level and deduced throughout gradual formalization rather than completed mathematics are conveyed to students for students' understanding. This study examined naive and intuitive thinking of students by investigating students' geometric problem solving without diagrams. The students showed these naive thinking: lack of recognition of relation between problem and conditions, use of intuitive judgement depending on diagrams, lacking in understanding of role of specific case, and use of unjustified assumption. This study suggests implication for instruction in geometry.

As software and artificial intelligence education became more and more important, in December 2019, the Ministry of Science and ICT announced plans to expand software and AI education to mandatory education in elementary and secondary schools by 2022. In addition to elementary and secondary schools, most universities are actively engaged in software education for computer non-majors, but research on coding education for computer non-majors is insufficient. The purpose of this paper is to find an efficient teaching and learning method for coding education for computer non-majors. Nowadays, college students, called Millennial and Generation Z, prefer visual information and are familiar with computers as digital natives. Based on these characteristics, this study examined the visual literacy and thinking styles of college students and then examined whether the students' visual literacy and thinking styles influenced coding-based problem solving in coding subjects. Based on this, this paper proposes an alternative to do programming education more efficiently for students who are new to coding.

본 논문은 현재 교통사고로 인한 피해가 심각한 상황에서 기존 교통사고 원인분석을 위한 많은 양의 자료를 효과적으로 처리할 수 있는 WebGIS 기반 교통사고 정보관리 시스템을 개발하였다. 더불어 교통정보를 어떻게 구성하고 어떤 방법으로 전달할 것인가에 대한 방안을 제시하고, 교통사고 정보에 대한 비공간적인 속성뿐만 아니라 도형자료와 기본적인 수치지도 등을 통합 관리할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 교통사고 자료가 일반인들에게 제공되기 위한 준비 기간이 길었던 종래 방식에 비해 데이터 입력이 완료되는 즉시 인터넷을 통해 해당 지역의 교통사고 정보를 제공하는 실시간 교통사고 현황 정보제공 기능을 구현하였다. 이전의 단순한 집계에 의한 비공간적인 데이터를 사용한 교통사고 분석보다는 교통사고의 자세한 내용 및 통계자료와 함께 사고위치를 시각적으로 도시하여 가시적으로 주변 환경을 파악할 수 있는 기능을 제공하였으며 사고 담당 경찰관과 직접 연계할 수 있는 인터페이스를 제공하였다.

This paper provides a comparative analysis of the probabilistic versus deterministic view of accident and safety using the indigenous and cultural perspectives. Death and injury due to accidents is the leading cause of preventable death in most countries, including Korea. The first part of this paper delineates the limitation of the linear, deterministic model that has been adopted in social and applied sciences. The transactional model, advocated by indigenous psychology, is provided to understand the probabilistic nature of accident and safety at home, in the workplace and in society. Second, factors related to accidents and safety are reviewed. Third, application of the probabilistic model for preventing accidents and promoting safety in Korea is outlined.

In this study, we tried to find the effects of carrying out infographics instruction based on visual thinking with the infographics materials presented in physics textbooks targeting specialized vocational high school students. Thus, 60 students were divided into the experimental group and the control group, the experimental group had 25 classes composed of 'infographics concept formation, infographics understanding activity, and infographics configuration activity', on the other hand, the control group were instructed by lecture-type class. The results of this study are as follows: First, features of the infographics created by the students include changes in types of presentation from 'simple arrangement' to 'simple reconfiguration' and from 'illustration' to 'comparative analysis', which were made by the visual thinking of the students activated in accordance with the increase of their configuration times. Second, instruction by using infographics, visual thinking significantly improved in the level of understanding, visibility, usability, and communicability. Third, after instruction using infographics, the mean score of the experimental group's achievement significantly improved. Fourth, there was a significant improvement in the area of 'normality of scientist, attitude on scientific inquiry, and scientific attitude' in the test of attitudes toward science. From the analysis results, we could conclude that instruction using infographics enhance students' understanding of scientific concepts and communication capability by improving visual thinking abilities, which have a positive impact on academic achievement and attitudes toward science.
