형식개념분석기법(FCA : Formal Concept Analysis)은 주어진 데이터로부터 공통속성을 갖는 객체들을 클러스터링하여 정보의 최소단위로써 개념(Concept)들을 추출하고 그들 사이의 관계를 토대로 계층화하여 데이터에 내재된 개념들의 구조를 가시화 해주는 Granular Computing의 한 종류이다. 형식 개념분석기법에서는 공통속성을 갖는 객체들을 추출한다는 전제조건을 토대로 개념을 추출하기 때문에 다양한 상황이나 조건에 적합한 새로운 개념들을 추출하기에는 한계가 있다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위한 한 가지 방법으로써, 본 논문에서는 입자화 정도(granularity level)를 기반으로 하는 형식 개념분석기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법에서는 형식개념분석기법에 입자화 정도를 도입하여 다양한 조건과 추상화 수준을 토대로 하여, 개념들을 추출하고 개념계층구조를 구축할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects on particulate concept formation based on abductive reasoning model for elementary science class. For this study, an author selected two groups in the sixth grade. One group is an ordinary textbook-based control group (N=26) and the other group is an abductive reasoning model-based treatment group (N=26). After twelve lessons, the scores of Concepts Test for Gas were analyzed by t-test and two-way ANOVA. The result of t-test showed both the control and treatment groups have higher score than before they take the lesson. But after the lesson, an author found out that the treatment group had higher score than that of the control group. And compared to the number of particles expressed, the number of the treatment group were higher than that of the control class. The two-way ANOVA result revealed that the interaction effect between their cognitive level and treatment was not significant. And regardless of the level of cognition, the scores of treatment group are higher than those of control group. Therefore, abductive reasoning model-based elementary science class were found to be more effective for particulate concept formation. Based on the results, an author concluded that abductive reasoning model is very effective in teaching particulate concepts to elementary students.

The concepts used to explain specific phenomenon can be influenced by context or coherent regardless of context. The purpose of this study is to understand middle school students' concept of particles in particular context and to investigate the effects of context on concept of particles. A conceptual questionnaire was developed to find out how students represented particles in two contexts: solid and solution states of electrolytes, and ion precipitation reaction. The questionnaire was administered to $9^{th}$ grade students after classes of 'electrolyte and ions' unit. The responses of students were analyzed using framework developed for categorization of students' concepts. The results are as follows: First, it was found that students used various concepts on particles when they explained solid and solution state of electrolytes, respectively. Second, we identified students' concepts of particles used to explain ion precipitation reaction. In addition, we recognized that majority of students failed to write correct chemical symbols. Third, approximately 79% of students showed coherent responses for explanation of particles in solution state of both electrolytes and ion precipitation reaction. About 57% of students had scientific concepts. Some suggestions were made based on results for acquisition of scientific concepts on particles in different contexts.

The purpose of this study was to examine the 7th national science curriculum (chemistry domain) regarding the meanings of ‘mulgil' (Korean), the particulate nature of matter, and the state of matter. It was found that the term of ‘mulgil' was being used vaguely as representing material, matter, or substance without clear definition. This was problematic by reason that it could hinder students from having the concept of substance. Regarding the particulate nature of matter, molecule was introduced as a basic unit of matter at grade 7, prior to atom and ion, which were introduced at grade 9 and 10, respectively. It is necessary to reconsider the sequence of each particle concept to provide students with more consistent and comprehensive understanding of structure of matter. In the case of change of state, key concepts such as conservation of matter or reversibility were omitted in the curriculum document, and explanations based on various aspects of particles were somewhat insufficient. The concept of matter is fundamental to chemistry, and we must recognize it as a concept that needs to be taught clearly. Implications for curriculum revision were discussed.

하천에서 유사 및 오염물질의 이동을 예측하기 위하여 초점을 두는 것에는 두 가지 요소가 있다. 입자의 농도로 나타낼 수 있는 양의 개념과 입자의 위치로 나타낼 수 있는 공간의 개념이 그것이다. 유사 입자와 같이 그 비중이 물보다 큰 경우, 흐름 내에서 침전과 부상의 메커니즘을 반복하게 되는데 최종적으로 바닥에 침적하는 위치는 하상변동, 서식처 등 하천관리의 다양한 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 유사 입자가 바닥에 침적하는 위치를 예측하는 데에는 난류와 지형 같은 많은 불확실한 요소가 내포되어 있어, 같은 크기의 유사 입자라 하여도 하나의 exact point로 도달하지 않는다. 이러한 불확실한 요소를 고려하여 침전 위치를 산정하는 방법에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 침전 위치를 확률밀도함수로 나타내어 분석하고자 한다. 입자의 침전 위치를 확률밀도함수로 나타내기 위하여 입자 기반의 추적 모형을 사용하여 위치 데이터를 얻었으며, 이를 실험데이터와 비교하여 검증 후 확률밀도함수로 나타내었다. 그 결과 입자의 침적 위치에 대한 확률밀도함수는 로그정규분포를 띠고 있음을 확인하였으며, 확률밀도함수를 나타내는 매개변수를 물리 기반 회귀모형식으로 일반화 하여 나타낼 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to survey the secondary science teachers' viewpoints of basic particles conceptions addressed in science course. The first content of this study was to analyze the secondary science teachers conceptions related to basic particles founded on scientific history viewpoints. The second content was to investigate their understanding of relations between atom, element, and molecule concepts. The third content was to search the factors influenced on basic particles conceptions of science teachers. For this study, 96 secondary science teachers were selected. The data of this study were collected through a questionnaire developed for this study and were analysed using the method of constant comparative analysis. The results showed that their viewpoints towards basic particles were similar to each other regardless of their majors and their conceptions belonged to the past viewpoints. The teachers lacked linking understand among basic particles conceptions because they applied different viewpoints on different problems. Most of the teachers were influenced on science textbooks, guidebooks for teachers, and reference books to form confusing viewpoints of basic particles.

This study was to investigate the types of middle school students’ conceptual change on electrolyte and ion. Data were collected by pre- and post- exams of 9th grade students’ conceptions of electrolyte and ion, and by semi-structured interviews with nine students served as case representatives who participated in the study. All interviews were transcribed, analyzed and classified by conceptual change according to the responses of the students. The results are as follows: First, students’ ion conceptual change was classified into four types; simple conception to sophisticated conception, incomplete conception to scientific conception, misconception to confused conception, and misconception to misconception. Most students had difficulty in understanding of the concepts of ion in pre- and post-class, and they failed to distinguish between atom and subatomic particles precisely. Second, students’ conceptual change of electrolyte was also classified into the following four types; partially scientific conception to sophisticated conception, misconception to partial misconception, incomplete conception to incomplete conception and misconception to misconception. The study found that students had difficulty distinguishing the difference between electrolytes and nonelectrolytes. Third, students also had difficulty understanding the concepts on particles because they learned the ‘electrolyte and ion’ unit so quickly in the second semester of 9th grade in order to fill in the academic reports for applying high schools. Furthermore, some suggestions were made based on the results for understanding scientific concepts on particles.

In this paper, we propose a novel data analysis approach that extracts granules suitable for various perspectives by introducing scaling level into formal concept analysis in order to control the level of granularity. Based on our approach, we can extract various granules from the given data set and constructs granular concept hierarchies based on the relations between the granules. Therefore, we can classify the given data with respect to the purpose or the intention of user's viewpoints. And, we developed G-Tool that supports our approach. In order to verify the usefulness of our proposed approach and G-Tool, we have done some experiments for real data set and reported about results of our experiments. From the experiments' results, we can verify our approach with G-Tool can be useful and suitable for classifying the given data with various scaling levels. The traditional formal concept analysis cannot control the level of granularity and can only classify for a particular perspective. However, our proposed approach can classify the given data with respect to user's purpose or intention by combining of diverse scale information and scaling levels.

In this study, we investigated a learning progression focusing on $5^{th}$ to $9^{th}$ graders' performances with dissolution and solution concepts using the construct modeling approach. We designed a construct map describing hypothetical pathways of the concept development of dissolution and solution by analyzing both National Science Curricula and related studies. A conceptions test consisting of ordered multiple-choice items was developed and administered to 826 students. A revised construct map was derived from analyses of the results based on the partial credit model, a branch of polytomous item response theory. The sequence of dissolution and solution concepts presented in the current science curriculum was found to correspond with the learning progression of the students. However, the lower anchor, the concept of the homogeneity of particles in solution, and the factors affecting solubility were not consistent with the expected levels of the construct map. After revising the construct map, we proposed a learning progression for dissolution and solution concepts with five levels: Students of level 1 (the lower anchor) recognize the particles in the solution but misunderstand various concepts; Students of level 2 understand the homogeneity of particles in solution; Students of level 3 understand solubility and the conservation of particles during dissolution; Students of level 4 partially understand the interaction between particles; and Students of level 5 (the upper anchor) understand the interaction between particles and the factors affecting solubility.
