The future society requires not only knowledge but also various competencies, including creativity, cooperative spirit and integrated thinking. This research develops a program for integrating mathematics and information science to enhance important mathematical competencies such as problem-solving and communication. This program does not require much prior knowledge, can be motivated using everyday language and easy-to-access tools, and is based on creative problem-solving activities with multilateral cooperation. The usefulness and rigor of mathematics are emphasized as the number of participants increases in the activities, and theoretical principles stem from the matrix theory over finite fields. Moreover, the activity highlights a connection with error-correcting codes, an important topic in information science. We expect that the real-world contexts of this program contribute to enhancing mathematical communication competence and providing an opportunity to experience the values of mathematics and that this program to be accessible to teachers since coding is not included.

IRWMS(Integrated Real time Water Management System)은 우리나라의 수자원 운영환경에 부합하도록 하천유역에 수자원 통합관리 개념을 도입한 실시간 물관리 의사결정지원 시스템이다. 국내 기술로 개발하여 실무에 적용함으로써 수자원 이용 효율을 극대화하고 선진국 수준의 수자원 관리기술을 확보하기 위한 방안으로 개발되어졌다. 이러한 물관리 시스템 구축을 위해서는 통합 유역에 적합한 모형의 선택과 이수, 치수, 수질 관리 모델의 통합 방안, 해당 유역특성을 반영한 시스템 구성 방법, 각각의 모형의 입,출력 자료의 관리 및 실무에 적용하기 용이한 GUI 구성 등을 고려하여야 한다. 물관리 시스템은 GIS 기반의 해석모형과 웹기반의 정보, 지식 전달 시스템, 수문자료 관리를 위한 DB시스템 등으로 구성되어져 있으며 SOBEK, RIBASIM, MIKE BASIN, WEAP 등 다양한 물관리 시스템들은 각각의 개발 시기나 쓰임에 따라 해석모형과 DB의 사용유무 등 여러 기능들을 차별화하여 구성하고 있다. RIBASIM(RIver BAsin SIMulation)의 경우 다양한 해석모형 들을 각각의 과정에 따라 사용하고 있으며 CMT(Case Management tool), CAT(Case Analysis Tool)라 불리는 기능들을 통하여 각각의 과정을 순차적으로 진행하고 분석하고 있으며 자사의 수문DB관리 프로그램, 수질, GIS도구 등과 연동하여 사용되고 있다. MIKE BASIN의 경우 ArcGIS의 EXTENSION으로 강력한 GIS기능과 비쥬얼한 화면 구성을 그 특징으로 가지고 있다. IRWMS는 강우유출모형과 댐군 저수지 연계 운영모형, 수질모형으로 구성되어져 있으며 DB와의 연동을 통하여 실시간으로 의사결정자들이 의사결정을 지원하며 실무진 중심의 GUI구성을 통하여 실용성을 중심에 두었다. IRWMS는 금강, 낙동강의 구축사례에서 보듯이 실시간 운영으로 수자원 관리 실무진의 사용에 그 주안점을 두었지만 차후 범용화와 상기에서 언급한 여러 국내외 시스템들의 장점을 받아들인다면 각각의 유역특성에 맞는 다양한 활용으로 수자원기술의 선진화에 크게 기여를 할 것이다.

This study suggests methods of assessing scientific creativity and developing items, which can be achieved when both earth science knowledge and general creativity are applied at the same time. According to the results of this study, the cognitive ability gaps between creativity and scientific creativity were clearly defined by the terms' operational definition. Four factors in the Subcategory Of Scientific Creativity-fluency, flexibility, elaboration, and originality-were selected, and the possibility of developing items out of these factors was discovered. The operational definitions of the four factors were given and the criteria for assessment and scoring were set. The validity, reliability, discrimination, and difficulty, which were the conditions required for the assessment instruments, were verified through three field trials of inputting the assessment instruments for scientific creativity. The assessment instruments were composed of 8 items with 2items for each factor. The average item fitness index obtained was 0.99, Cronbach , the item inter-consistency was 0.79,the inter-rater reliability of each item was 0.78, the inter-rater reliability of each factor was 0.75, the item discrimination power was 0.19, and the item difficulty was 0.00. Because the results were within the permitted limit of the conditions required for assessment instruments, the assessment instruments developed for scientific creativity in this study can be said to be very favorable.

In this study, we developed the program for 'Discretionary Activity' focusing on the multiple activities with everyday-life materials to enhance scientific creativity (MAEM-SC), which was specifically for students in the 6-7th grade according to the 7th curriculum in Korea. As important factors for scientific creativity, we selected the ability to find out the context relevant to scientific problems, the ability to connect the problem context to scientific knowledge, the ability to invent the ways to solve the problem scientifically, and ability to concentrate on the scientific problem solving activity. The topics of the program were drawn from common and familiar things in our everyday contexts, such as human body, everyday tools, food, play and toys, and everyday episodes. The multiple activities here mean the activities which are systematically constructed with the various types of activities with a specific intention. The multiple activities were designed in three types, that is, series type, parallel type, and combination type. Each of them consists of the several activities as follows: estimating and measuring, carrying out an experiment using body, inventing implement (tools), thinking statistically, writing creatively with scientific themes, and connecting one concept to another concept etc. Through a trial of the program, we found that this program has some positive influence on the enhancement both of the ability to find out the context relevant to scientific problems and the ability to connect it to the students' existing scientific knowledge.

The purpose of thesis is to design and implement an efficient Internet-Based courseware which facilitates the problem solving learning. This courseware was developed in order to provide important foundations of learning in open-education environment using WWW. The targeted level is elementary students, To do this, the definition of problem solving, its processes, and advantages or pitfalls of computer-based problem solving learning were examined, with the advantage of using WWW as an educational tool. The theme of implemented courseware was selected from SATIS which is relevant for the problem solving learning. The courseware has three main parts; learning activity module, teaching activity module, and learning tool module. The learning activity module controls courseware flows and was implemented in accordance with the problem-based teaming processes. It: can be proceeded either sequential way or random access by setting linker. The advantage of random accessing method is that it may facilitate student learning because each student can regulate their learning processes which correspond to their own experiences. The teaching activity module provides for teachers useful informations for helping student's learning and it also can be used as an assessment tool for student's achievements, The learning: tool module consists of conversational note, e-mail address, help, and search tool. It is linked with learning activity module and teaching activity module so that teachers and students can actively participate in teaching-learning processes.

Bayesian networks are known as the best tools to express and predict the domain knowledge with uncertain environments. However, bayesian learning could be too difficult to do effective and reliable searching. To solve the problems of overtime demand, the nodes should be arranged orderly, so that effective structural learning can be possible. This paper suggests the classification learning model to reduce the errors in the independent condition, in which a lot of variables exist and data can increase the reliability by calculating the each entropy of probabilities depending on each circumstances. Also efficient learning models are suggested to decide the order of nodes, that has lowest entropy by calculating the numerical values of entropy of each node in K2 algorithm. Consequently the model of the most suitably settled Bayesian networks could be constructed as quickly as possible.

This study investigated the preservice and inservice elementary teachers' perceptions on professionalism of teaching profession, professionalism of science teaching, and their self-efficacy on science teaching. For this study, 64 sophomore, 53 senior preservice teachers and 23 elementary teachers who were also graduate students were participated. The questionnaires consisted of 5 Likert scaled and descriptive items about the professionalism of teaching profession, professionalism of science teaching, and self-efficacy on science teaching. The results showed that some areas of the professionalism of teaching profession had significant differences between the grades in preservice teachers and/or inservice teachers. Most preservice teachers and teachers thought that they need to have professional ability, but not a few teachers thought it was not necessary to have professionalism of science teaching as a elementary teacher, even though their major was science education. The teachers who had higher perceptions on the needs of the professionalism of science teaching showed high self-efficacy on science teaching.
