본 연구에서는 이해능력수준에 따른 억압기제의 효율성 차이를 대용어 참조 과정을 통해 검증하였다. 실험 1에서는 단어재인과제를 사용하여 이해능력에 따른 가능한 참조어의 활성화 차이를 살펴 보았다. 그 결과 낮은 수준의 이해자는 높은 수준의 이해자에 비해 가능한 참조어 중 문장맥락에 맞는 적절한 참조어와 함께 맥락에 맞지 않는 부적절한 참조어의 활성화도 유지하고 있는 경향이 있었다. 실험 2에서는 검사단어의 맥락적절성 판단과제를 실시하였는데 낮은 수준의 이해자는 높은 수준의 이해자에 비해 부적절한 참조어를 부정하는데 반응시간이 오래 걸렸다. 이 결과들은 낮은 수준의 이해자가 덜 효율적인 억압기제를 가졌다는 가설을 지지하는 결과로 논의되었다.

This study investigated the understanding level and the using level of mathematical language for middle school students in terms of Freudenthal' language levels. It was proved that the understanding level task developed by current study for geometric concept had reliability and validity, and that there was the hierarchy of levels on which students understanded mathematical language. The level that students used in explaining mathematical concepts was not interrelated to the understanding level, and was different from answering the right answer according to the sorts of tasks. And, the level of mathematical language that was understood easily as students' thought, was the third level of the understanding levels. Mathematics teachers should consider the students' understanding level and using level, and give students the tasks which students could use their mathematical language confidently.

The purpose of this study is to investigate levels of mathematically gifted students' understanding of statistical samples through comparison with non-gifted students. For this purpose, rubric for understanding of samples was developed based on the students' responses to tasks: no recognition of a part of population (level 0), consideration of samples as subsets of population (level 1), consideration of samples as a quasi-proportional, small-scale version of population (level 2), recognition of the importance of unbiased samples (level 3), and recognition of the effect of random sampling (level 4). Based on the rubric, levels of each student's understanding of samples were identified. t tests were conducted to test for statistically significant differences between mathematically gifted students and non-gifted students. For both of elementary and middle school graders, the t tests show that there is a statistically significant difference between mathematically gifted students and non-gifted students. Table of frequencies of each level, however, shows that levels of mathematically gifted students' understanding of samples were not distributed at the high levels but were overlapped with levels of non-gifted students' understanding of samples.

This study was performed to identify older adults' self-reported difficulties in understanding and utilizing health information and their relationships with health status and to investigate the differences between age groups and among education levels. Data were collected from July 1 to August 31 in 2007 from older adults in senior centers located in Daegu, Kyungpook, and Busan area. A total of 103 subjects participated in the study. The level of understanding health information in older adults was 50 on average (possible score 15-75). The most difficult items to understand were patient educational materials, written information provided by health care providers, and medical forms. The lower level of difficulty in utilizing health information was associated with better physical and mental health status. There were differences in their self-reported difficulties between the young-old and the old-old as well as among different education levels. Health care providers may need to tailor educational materials and medical forms to the cognitive ability of older adults under the consideration of their age and education levels.

In modern society, a basic understanding of financial understanding is recognized as very important for stable economic activities. Advanced countries are operating various regular education courses and programs to improve their financial literacy, but this is not enough for Korea. Recognizing this reality, the study examined the level of financial literacy among students at K University and analyzed whether liberal accounting education could be a useful tool to improve financial literacy levels. The study found that the level of financial literacy among the students at K University after the education was conducted was very high, so it is deemed that liberal accounting education for improving financial literacy is very effective. However, there is a difference in each area by major and grade, so there is a need to develop customized education programs when preparing institutional programs to enhance financial literacy.

Current science education aims to guide students as future responsible citizens to make informed decisions on socioscientific issues (SSI). In the authors' previous study, it was found that conceptions of nature of technology (NOT) were explicitly represented in various contexts of SSI with differentiated levels of understanding, and cases of the informed NOT understanding included the key features of well-reasoned SSI decision-making. Therefore, enhancing NOT understanding could be one of the elements to leverage students' informed SSI decision-making. In this study, we developed a rubric to assess NOT understanding in the context of SSI and applied it to evaluate the impact of SSI instruction. Participants were 58 college students who took an SSI course for 6 weeks. Before and after the SSI course, they were asked to write decision-making essays on the Golden Rice issue (a type of genetically modified food). As a result of analyzing the pre- and post decision-making essay using the rubric, it was found that NOT understanding was improved after the SSI course; in addition, the salient patterns of NOT changes were analyzed in detail in order to gauge the influence of the SSI classes. Implications for science education were discussed.

As computers are recognized as essential tools for our life and society, the use of computers has become increasingly important in education. The propose of this study is to grasp the level of students' understanding on basic terms used in computer textbooks for $4th{\sim}6th$ graders in Chungbuk and to investigate the existence of differences in students' understanding according to personal variables. The result of this study indicates that the level of students' understanding on basic terms in computer textbooks is very low. Also significant differences are found in students' understanding of terms according to location, grade, the possession of computers, computer-related learning experiences, instructional methods used in computer classes, interest in computer classes, participation level in computer classes and grade level.

In this study, we compared 8th graders' macroscopic and microscopic conceptions related to the properties of substances. A test for the basic particle concept and a test for the macroscopic and microscopic concepts of melting point, solubility, and density were developed and administered to 371 students. Their responses were classified into 4 categories on the bases of their understanding of the macroscopic and microscopic concepts. The proportions and characteristics of each category were also analyzed. The analyses of the results revealed that the students who understood the macroscopic concepts had various misconceptions at the microscopic level. Many students had difficulty in understanding not only microscopic concepts but macroscopic concepts. The microscopic responses of the students who did not understand the macroscopic concepts hardly corresponded with their macroscopic level responses. The students who responded correctly to the test for the basic particle concept also had difficulty in understanding the concept of the properties of substances. When they understood the macroscopic concepts, the proportions of the students who understood the microscopic concepts were high. On the bases of the results, educational implications for effective teaching and learning of concepts related to the properties of substances and for improving the future national curricular are discussed.

In this study, the meteorology terms in the geography text books of North Korea which includes all of the meteorology educational contents in secondary school curriculum are compared with those in the earth science text books in South Korea. Forty science terms which are the same meaning but composed of different words are picked up to investigate the degree for 89 high school students in Chonnam province to perceive the meanings correctly. High school students' perceptions is on the average 30% higher in terminology of South Korea textbooks than in those of North Korea. But, students' perceptions on 9 North Korean terms is rather higher compared to South Korean terms. Twenty six (83.9%) terms which are difficult for high school students to perceive correct meanings are those lately composed of North Korean native words. Most of meteorology terms in South Korean textbooks are derived from the Chinese characters or imported from foreign language terms are easier for high school students to perceive correct meanings than those of North Korean terms derived from North Korean native language.
