This paper proposed a model of Creative Problem Solving education, using CREAX software based on TRIZ. Learners can get the motivation about development of creative thinking through the theory of TRIZ. Furthermore, they can have good command of creative problem-solving process from the software practice course. As a result of the study, the learners could realize the importance of the creativity and adaptability which are demanded from the knowledge-based society. We planned a three major course for development about adaptability of creative problem solving process and we proposed a guideline about each step of the software utilized CREAX. So, we established the courses about leaners can get the creative problem-solving skill more efficiently.

The purpose of this study is to investigate factors influencing continuous usage intention of mobile learning and suggest practical strategies to enhance learners' continuous usage intention of mobile learning. In this study, we hypothesized that system quality, information quality, service quality and personal innovativeness have a positive effect on effort expectancy and performance expectancy, which ultimately have a positive effect on continuous usage intention. In order to examine structural relationship among variables, we surveyed 279 students who took courses at W Cyber University in 2013 fall semester. After collecting data, we examined causal relationship among variables using Structural Equation Modeling. The results of this study are as follows: First, system quality and personal innovativeness significantly affect effort expectancy. Second, information quality, service quality and personal innovativeness significantly affect performance expectancy. Last of all, effort expectancy and performance expectancy significantly affect continuous usage intention of mobile learning.

The present study set out to investigate influencing factors on family strength. The sample consisted of 249 male and female married adults who were in the class of social welfare in S cyber university. Analysis revealed that married adults' family strength level was 3.86(above the moderate). Among variables, marital status, religion, income, economic problems couple conflict, conflict with mother-in-law, children's problem, family of origin experiences were associated with family strength. Regression analysis revealed that family cooperation and harmony of family were associated with family strength among 8 sub-factors : overall emotional health of family, conflict resolution, acceptance of separation and loss, permission to others, harmony of family, family cooperation, independence in extended family, power balance in family. These findings highlight the collective characteristics of Korean family and traditional values emphasizing the harmony influences the family strength through the generation.

The computer programming education is very important to study the related subjects in computer science, and also in the technology education for the students finding employment. In this paper, we develop the assessment metrics to evaluate and apply the textual and visual programming in the computer education. Also, we analyze the validity for the programming languages and tools for the education and getting job of students, and choose the appropriate programming language/tool for programming education. And, we develop the curriculum for programming education, finally apply and analyze in computer education of university. Especially, we compare and analyze the effectiveness for the text based programming language(JAVA) and visual programming language/environment(LabVIEW) in the area of embedded/mobile/Web programming fields which are necessary in the related industry to the recent trend of IT technology.

Despite the potential implications of Facebook use, there is a distinct lack of empirically derived theory for designing learning environment. This may be because Facebook is a social tool and there has been limited opportunity for exploratory research regarding Facebook based learning. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate learning presence factors affecting learning outcomes in Facebook-based collaborative learning. Forty two college students participated in the Facebook-based collaborative learning activity, and the data from thirty nine were used for step-wise multiple regression analysis. In addition focus group interview was conducted to examine learning presence of Facebook-based collaborative learning. The results reported that cognitive presence predicted significantly learning outcomes, however, social and emotional presence did not predict learning outcomes. The implication of this study and future research were discussed in this research.

Recently, as the education population of Korea has been rapidly declining, many changes have been taking place in the university environment. Especially, community colleges linked to local communities have responded to these crises through various educational changes, such as three-year study transfers, work-parallelism, and employee commissioned education. However, such changes in the contents of education are causing a new type of classroom allocation problem, in which it is difficult to assign the limited number of classrooms to the major courses. In this paper, we classified the constraints involved in assigning classrooms into absolute constraints and relative constraints, mathematically modeled them, and allocated the classrooms optimally through optimization software. The results were satisfactory and enabled us to obtain superior results in terms of the various performance indices (classroom utilization rate, teacher satisfaction, etc.) than when assigning classrooms in the normal way.

The professional ethics for the guard is defined as the professional ethics that the person working as a guard to have. The professional ethics education builds the certainty and confidence about professional ethics recognition as well as behavior for guards so that helps the successful performance of the job. Therefore, this study tried to consider previous researches, understand the current professional ethics education for the department related to the guard and the case studies of incidents due to lack of professional ethics education to suggest the measures of activating professional ethics education. First, it is to consider the specialty of the guard to build the guard-martial spirit. Second, the professional ethics education must be out of the central culture study but develop as a major subject. Third, the quality and professionalism of the responsible professor of the professional ethics subject shall be considered. Forth, the professional ethics education must be performed not only at school but also continuously through the various ethics programs of the work places as well as organizations.

The number of schools that implement English medium instruction (EMI) to improve students' English proficiency has been increasing. Despite the increasing popularity of EMI, little attention has been paid to evaluating the effectiveness of EMI and its impact on students and instructors. This study explores these issues, focused on the case of the College of Engineering at Y University. A survey questionnaire was administered to 19 engineering professors who offered EMI courses in the Fall of 2003. The survey results show that: 1) the professors perceive that students' low English proficiency is a large obstacle to successful implementation of EMI, and that pre-EMI language courses are needed to prepare students for EMI. 2)Though the professors expressed confidence in their English proficiency, they indicated that they felt quite a lot stressed at teaching EMI courses; hence, support of the school administration is needed to help faculty offering EMI courses. 3)To improve students' English proficiency, native-speaking language instructors are needed to provide feedback on students' written and spoken English.

This paper reviews the general education curriculum in engineering colleges which are accredited or prepare to be accredited in Korea. And it researches the relation of the learning outcome of general education and course assessment. Most of engineering colleges usually operate core curriculum. They provided engineering students few specific general education courses if anything. Engineering students evaluated the outcome of the general education courses less than major courses. It is necessary to develop new general education courses for engineer like as the management for engineering students or leadership program Also the faculties teaching the general education courses need to develop new learning method and materials, which help students to achieve soft skills.
