Normally, people think the results of engineering design project can be seen and be touched, however, it's not easy to develop such design subjects at IT related program. This matter turns into an initiative of Seoul Accord corresponding to the Washington Accord. In this paper, an engineering design project is developed from the lecture course that can hardly develop a touchable project due to the lack of expanse or the own characteristics of the course in the IT related program that follows the Washington Accord. An open-ended design project with the pre-defined design components and realistic constraints is developed for the Computer Network Design course. Each team consisted of 2 or 3 students performs the project for more than 5 weeks utilizing a software simulator, the Packet Tracer. In order to analyze the effectiveness, we have used various evaluation tools such as final presentation, peer evaluation, survey results, and mid/final exams. We concluded that the hard and soft skills of students have been improved considerably through the project.

The present investigation was planned to estimate potential possibility of striped field mice, Apodemus agrarius coreae (A. a. coreae), as a biological dosimeter in radio-environmental ecology. We bred captured wild A. a. coreae at laboratory and classified taxonomically based on external, cranial and tooth characters. Organ weights and splenocytic apoptosis were observed in order to establish a basic data on radiation biology of A. a. coreae (male, 40 weeks old). The biological effects was observed at 24hrs following irradiation (doses : 0, 0.5, 1, 2 Gy, dose rate : $0.8Gymin^{-1}$, $^{137}Cs$). Only thymus weights was significantly decreased. Splenocytic apoptosis was increased after irradiation. But splenocytic apoptosis was decreased in 0.5 Gy ${\gamma}$-irradiated mice compared to those of 0, 1, 2 Gy (P < 0.05). These data suggested that events in thymus and spleen of Korean dark-striped field mice, A. a. coreae THOMAS, could be a potential radio-biological indicator in human environments.

This study was performed to analyze the secondary students' perceptions and self-efficacy of performance assessments in the science subject. The data was obtained from 236 middle school students and 222 high school students in seoul. The students had generally proper understanding about characteristics of performance assessment which include purposes of assessment and differences from other conventional achievement assessments. They responded that the performance assessments were not useful in their science learning and developing their potential abilities. They were not satisfied with reliability and validity of the performance assessments. The middle school students more positively responded than high school students regarding the reliability of the scoring system and the originality of the evaluating materials. The female students more positively thought than males about the reliability of assessment and the usefulness for learning science. The students' self-efficacy level of performance assessment were not low in comparison with another existing assessments. They had high level of self-efficacy in understanding of experimental procedures, and utilizing of experimental apparatuses, but had low level of self-efficacy in understanding purposes of experiments or issues of discussions, processing of experimental results, answering of problems in experimental discussions. The female students' self-efficacy of performance assessment were higher than male students'. There was statistically correlated with females' scores and their level of self-efficacy of performance assessment.

본 논문은 현재 패턴구성 과정에 있는 1년 차 영국과 한국 학생들의 교육체제를 연구 비교 하므로써 그 차이점을 알아보고 궁극적으로 나아가야 할 방향에 대해서 연구되었다. 우선 두 나라의 교육체계에 관해 간단한 배경 설명 후에 학제의 시작이 두 나라 사이에 큰 차이점이 있음을 강조하였다. 본 논문은 일차자료와 이차자료를 모두 이용하였으며 설문지 내용은 지면 할애상 생략하였다. 본문에서는 첫 번째로 강의 방법에 대해 알아보았으며 두 나라간의 교수 형식으로는 큰 차이를 볼 수 가 없었다. 그 다음으로는 교수의 자격 요건 이었으며 연령대가 다른 차이점 이외에는 큰 차이점을 볼 수 없었다. 또한 교수법에 있어 가장 중요한 열정과 동기부여 등을 강조하였다. 이론적인 수업은 한국의 대학에서 강조된 반면 영국에서는 실질적인 부분을 강조함을 알 수 있었다. 그리고, 한국의 경우 대부분의 학생들이 수업의 진행을 위해 교과서를 구입해야 하는 반면 영국 학생들의 경우 자세한 설명이 첨부된 복사물을 받아 수업을 받고 있었다. 그 이유는 학생들의 수업능력 차이에 있으며 또 한가지는 경제적 문제라고 할 수 있다. 한국의 학생 정원은 40명이었으며 대부분의 학생들이 거의 포기하지 않고 졸업을 하는 반면, 본인이 조사한 대학의 경우, 25명의 정원으로 시작하였으나 여러 가지 개인 사정으로 조사 당시 15명의 인원수만 남아 있었다. 적은 수의 학생수는 곧 수업의 질과 연관됨을 알 수 있었다. 두 나라의 학생수업 능력과 학생 수가 많이 달라 영국 학생들의 경우 선생에게 의지하려는 경향을 많이 보인 반면 한국학생들은 독립적인 특징들을 보였다. 두 나라 학생들 모두 과제물을 많이 받고 있었으며 2학년 말에는 의상발표회를 하는 공통점을 보였다. 평가 방법상에서는 큰 차이가 보였다. 영국의 경우 평가에 관한 사항을 아주 세분화하여 공식적으로 책자를 만들어 그 규칙을 철저히 지키도록 한 반면, 한국의 경우에는 정해진 세부사항 없이 크게 ABCD체제의 방식과 출석상황, 중간고사, 기말고사, 과제물 완성도 등을 퍼센티지로 나누어 평가하고 있었다. 학생들에게 주어지는 균등한 기회나 평등의 문제도 학생들의 자격, 신분 등이 거의 다르지 않은 한국에서는 그리 중요한 사항은 아니었으나 다민족 국민으로 이루어진 영국의 학생들에게는 아주 민감한 사항임을 알 수 있었다.

A variety of experiments are being conducted with the advent of Learning Model for flipped-learning. In order to apply flipped-learning as a method of teaching, most of them require a pre-prepared learning video. In this case, there is the burden to create the samples of a 13 weeks, except for the mid term and the final exam in college. These systems also make it difficult to change learning content. In this paper, we suggest using blogs to improve the characteristics that existing flippling systems are less adaptable to environmental changes. A blog can be a good thing for learners who are comfortable with the Internet, In this study, we experiment with flipped-learning, which applies blog to one subject. As a result, we would like to evaluate the meaningful learning effects of this study.

Forest destruction is an inevitable result of the development processes. According to the environmental impact assessment, over 10% of the destroyed trees need to be recycled and transplanted to minimize the impact of forest destruction. However, the rate of successful transplantation is low, leading to a high rate of tree death. This is attributable to a lack of consideration for environmental factors when choosing a temporary site for transplantation and inadequate management. To monitor transplanted trees, a field survey is essential; however, the spatio-temporal aspect is limited. This study evaluated the applicability of remote sensing for the effective monitoring of transplanted trees. Vegetation indices based on satellite remote sensing were derived to detect time-series changes in the status of the transplanted trees at three temporary transplantation sites. The mortality rate and vitality of transplanted trees before and after the transplant have a similar tendency to the changes in the vegetation indicators. The findings of this study showed that vegetation indices increased after transplantation of trees and decreased as the death rate increased and vitality decreased over time. This study presents a method for assessing newly transplanted trees using satellite images. The approach of utilizing satellite photos and the vegetation index is expected to detect changes in trees that have been transplanted across the country and help to manage tree transplantation for the environmental impact assessment.

Almost every children are naturally non competitive, so they have test anxiety. Because grading in paper-pencil tests is related to competition with their friends. Intense competition should not be a part of the classroom environment. This study intends to reflect current standardized tests(summative evaluations) in an elementary school mathematics(2008) and reconstructed it's problem. Teachers should provide students with rich situational problem-solving opportunities. Therefore we conclude "summative evaluation are consisted of some large problem type which contain some subproblems, or from easy(simple) problem with relation to difficult problem)".
