In this study, clicker, also known as classroom response system, was applied to the chemistry method course at the university in Gyeongbuk, and preservice chemistry teachers' perceptions of clicker were surveyed. Before starting lecture, operation and class application of clickers were introduced to preservice teachers, and then 4-5 questions were presented to them in most classes during the term. After preservice teachers were asked to answer the questions, lecturer gave feedback based on the class answer distribution. Questions presented to preservice teachers were recall and/or understanding questions on learning contents, opinion questions, and questions about muddiest point. At the end of semester, preservice teachers were asked to rate their perception of clikers in terms of likert scale and essay type. They had positive perceptions of clicker use in aspects of cognitive effects, affective effects and media characteristics. They preferred conceptual understanding questions and monitoring questions among 8 clicker question types. Some cases using clickers in lecture and educational implications were also included.

Clickers that are personal response systems are a technology used to promote active learning and most research on the benefits of using clickers has shown that students become engaged and enjoy using them. But, existing clickers consisting of hardware devices and aggregation software provide simple response and aggregation function and it costs a lot. In this paper, in order to resolve the limitation of the existing clickers, we've designed and implemented the Smart Clicker consisting of a smartphone application for students and a web application & a MFC program for professors. Students can answer professor's questions with O/X or numbers or text and even ask questions with text messaging by using Smart Clicker in the classroom. Professors can see students' answers or questions immediately and check up students' response participation rate on the web page. Besides, the Smart Clicker will help professors actively engage students during the entire class period and gauge their level of understanding of the material being presented, and provide prompt feedback to student questions. As a result, we expect that quality of education will be increased.

The advancement of smart-phones and their market expansion has led to the development of numerous educational applications (apps). In this study, learning activities were designed for real-time feedback utilizing a smart clicker app for effective communication between the instructors and students, and to provide educational results, such as learning flow and academic achievement. These strategies were applied in the actual educational fields, and 70 college students were taking classes with the same curriculum. Experiments involving an experimental group and control group were conducted. The results of the t-test were follows. In terms of learning flow, a significant difference was observed between the two groups, but not in terms of academic achievement.

TRIZ, the theory of inventive problem solving, is widely used in traditional engineering fields such as mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineering and generated good results. Yet there are few examples in software field. But software field requires creative problem solving capabilities more than any other fields and we expect that we can get remarkable results by applying TRIZ in this field. In this paper, we try to break the psychological inertia that TRIZ is difficult to use in software area through development of new software, the Smart Clicker, by applying TRIZ. And we present an approach how to apply TRIZ in software field.

There are management and price problems that have been caused by requirement of RFID reader, Fingerprint Identification System and Clicker for the construct of automatic attendance system to check the students' attendance accurately and quickly. Therefore, in the thesis, we developed smartphone based attendance check system by utilizing Wi-Fi and the smartphones that has been already built without using additional equipments and establishing construction of system additionally. It recognizes date, time, location and the seat number in classroom if a student logs the attendance chocking application in and it also allows students to get lecture feedback and check attendance by taking quizzes and questionnaires that are related to the lecture. As a result, by applying the attendance check system, instructors state that it is convenient since the app allows instructors to communicate with students though the quizzes and questionnaires. Especially, the instructors state that it is convenient because the results of the quizzes, questionnaires and attendance can be downloaded it the from of Excel files.

This paper introduces a customized pet care and training system based on information technology. A specific animal is recognized by nose-print recognition. Pet robot induces the animal to move to trainer device. Trainer device trains the animal by snack, play, and clicker, and it can be easily extended for specific training using add-on devices. Pet band performs vital sign monitoring, prevention of home escape, and measurement of exercise amount. By changing configuration, this system can perform various training programs such as mitigation of separation anxiety, induction to defecation place, and prohibition of tresspassing specific place. It also provides customized training by analyzing individual behavior of animal. It can exercise and play the animal when owner is out, and it can immediately notice to the owner when the animal has health trouble.

Owing to the recent increased interest in wireless communication technology and rapid technology development, a range of applied technologies utilizing them are being released. In addition, at school, by adopting an attendance management system using wireless communication technology, attempts to solve problems caused by attendance books are being made. Representative attendance management systems include those using RFID, Bluetooth and clicker. Although these systems have solved the problem of wasting paper and time due to calling and writing attendance, they have other problems of generating additional expenses of purchasing or renting more equipment. To solve all of these problems, this paper suggests prototype system that can manage attendance by using NFC (Near Field Communication), which most smartphones provide. The attendance management system using NFC consists of two applications; one for professors and the other for students. The system solves problems, such as proxy attendance, loss of lesson time and additional cost by automatically managing attendance information using NFC and TCP/IP technologies.

With advances in technology, many researchers have made an effort to find out educational methods with customized instruction. The purpose of the research is to investigate i) if flipped learning is beneficial for the students taking intermediate-level English grammar and writing class compared with the traditional class, ii) if the flipped learning class is advantageous for all the score level students in terms of student achievement and iii) if the students feel motivated with the flipped learning class. T-test was utilized to determine any differences between pretest and posttest in student achievement. The result in terms of the academic achievement revealed that the flipped classroom approach for the low score group was found to be the least effective among others. In the case of flipped learning teaching method, the instructor should develop contents according to the level of learners. The development of customized contents tailored to the level of learners will enhance learners' learning achievement.
