In this study, external representation presented in two units, 'Property of Gas' and 'Changes of States of Matter,' in seventh grade of 2015 revised science curriculum, were analyzed to suggest educational implications. External representations presented in five science textbooks were analyzed according to the six criteria, which were 'type of representation,' 'interpretation of surface features,' 'relatedness to text,' 'existence and properties of a caption,' 'degree of correlation between representations comprising a multiple one,' and 'function of representation.' The characteristics of typical representations related to each achievement standard of two units were also analyzed. The results were as follows: The macro representations for 'type of representation', and explicit representations for 'interpretation of surface features' showed highest frequency. For 'relatedness to text' criteria, 'completely related and linked' and 'completely related and unlinked' representations showed the highest frequency. It means that most representations were properly related with the text. There were appropriate captions for most representations. The degree of correlation between representations comprising a multiple one was largely sufficiently linked with regards to the criteria 'degree of correlation between representations comprising a multiple one'. The complete representations for 'function of representation' showed the highest frequency in the aggregate, however incomplete representations showed more frequencies in the inquiry parts. The typical representations for each achievement standard differed in terms of the type, contained information, used symbols and so on. The educational implications with the use of representations presented in seventh grade textbook were discussed.

In this study, we analyzed the form, presentation, and interactivity of external representations presented in the matter units of elementary school science digital textbooks developed under the 2015 Revised National Curriculum. The analytic framework of the previous study was modified and supplemented. The matter units in the 3rd-6th grade science digital textbooks were analyzed by dividing them into "body texts" and "inquiries" area. The results revealed that visual-verbal and visual-nonverbal representations were presented the most. Conversely, audial-nonverbal representations were presented at a high frequency only in the body texts, and audial-verbal representations were presented at a low frequency in both the body texts and the inquiries. Regarding the presentation, when verbal and visual-nonverbal representations appeared together, visual-verbal and visual-nonverbal representations were primarily presented together. In some cases where visual-verbal, audial-verbal, and visual-nonverbal representations were presented together, information on visual-verbal and audial-verbal representations was presented redundantly. Audial-nonverbal representations unrelated to contents were presented along with other external representations, and the frequency was particularly high in the body texts. Regarding the contiguity, no visual-verbal and visual-nonverbal representations were presented on different pages, and no audial-verbal representations were presented asynchronously with visual-nonverbal representations. Regarding the interactivity, explanatory feedback and low-level manipulations were mainly presented. Based on the results, implications to improve digital textbooks are discussed from the perspective of multiple representation-based learning.

Using representations is essential for students to organize their thinking, to solve problems and to communicate each other. Students express information or situations suggested by problems easily and organize and infer them systematically using representations. Also, teachers are able to comprehend students' levels of understanding and thinking process better through them, and influence their representations. This study was conducted to understand mathematical representations of students uprightly and to seek implications for proper teaching of representations, by analyzing representations of students in mathematical problem solving process and the transformation process of representation via interactions.

복잡한 기능이나 개념을 제한된 공간에 효과적으로 표현하는데 아이콘이 널리 이용된다. 이러한 아이콘 개발이 디자이너의 미적인 기준이나, 시스템에서 일률적으로 사용에 의해 결정되는 경향이 있다. 본 연구는 동일한 정보를 포함하는 아이콘이나 레이블같이 서로 다른 표상들이 그 표상 방식의 유용성 측면에서 다른 결과를 보일 수 있으며, 기능의 표상 방식이 다르면, 아이콘이나 레이블에 대한 이해가 서로 다른 인지 처리 체계를 거친다는 기본 가정에 근거를 두고 진행되었다. 구체적으로는 아이콘을 기존에 형성된 표상 방식들 가운데서 인지적 특성을 고려한 표상들로 분류한 기준을 이용하여, 실제 컴퓨터 사용자 환경에서 통용되고 있는 아이콘들을 수집, 분류하고, 각각의 표상 방식에 따른 아이콘의 유용성을 알아보고자 각 아이콘에 대응되는 레이블과의 수행을 비교하였다. 결과에 따르면, 새로운 기능을 익혀야하는 초기에는 아이콘보다 레이블과 같은 텍스트가 더욱 효과적이지만, 익숙해진 후 그 수행이 비슷해짐을 확인했다. 그러나 임의적 표상방식으로 디자인된 아이콘은 레이블보다 더 부정확하고 느린 수행을 지속적으로 나타냈고, 기능의 세 가지 표상방식에 따라서 아이콘에 대한 수행이 서로 다른 패턴을 보였다. 이는 아이콘과 같은 컴퓨터 사용자 인터페이스의 설계와 사용 단계에서, 표현하고자 하는 기능과 사용자의 인지적 속성인 표상 방식을 충분히 고려해야 한다는 것을 보여준다.

컴퓨터라는 새로운 매체의 도입의 이점이 컴퓨터 매체의 제반 특성들을 잘 활용함으로써 학생들의 호기심을 유발하고 학생들의 학습 효과를 높일 수 있다는 데에만 국한되는 것은 아니다. 새로운 컴퓨터 매체의 도입은 논리학의 여러 중심 개념들 자체에 대한 이해의 심도를 증진시킴으로써 논리학을 새로운 영역으로 확대시켜 주기도 한다. 그 새로운 영역은 그림과 같은 비언어적 표상을 핵심적으로 포함한 추론, 즉 문자와 그림을 동시에 포함하는 이질적인 추론(heterogeneous reasoning)을 허용하는 영역이다. 논리학은, 정보가 어떻게 표상되든 상관없이, 정보 추출의 타당한 형태들에 관한 연구이다. 전통적으로 논리학자들은 정보 추출의 타당한 형태들의 매우 작은 부분(즉, 언어적 표상)에만 초점을 맞추었다. 그러나 컴퓨터 매체의 활용과 더불어 이제 논리학은 시각적 표상을 포함하여 다양한 표상들을 어떻게 사람들이 사용하는지 파악해야 한다. 이러한 과업의 성취를 위해, 구문론, 의미론, 논리적 귀결, 증명, 반례 등의 전통적 개념을 이러한 새로운 형태의 표상들을 수용할 수 있는 방식으로 확장하고 풍부하게 만들어야 한다. 그림 표상과 문자 표상을 함께 사용하는 추론 체계인 Hyperproof에 대한 연구는 이러한 확장된 논리 이론을 형성하는 데 기여한다.

기존의 자연어 의미 표상 방법은 크게 나눠보았을 때 두 가지가 있다. 첫 번째로, 전통적인 기호 기반 의미 표상 방법론이다. 이 방법론들은 논리적이고 해석가능하다는 장점이 있으나, 구축에 시간이 많이 들고 정작 기호 자체의 의미를 더욱 미시적으로 파악하기 어렵다는 단점이 있었다. 반면, 최근 대두된 분산 표상의 경우 단어 하나하나의 의미는 상대적으로 잘 파악하는 반면, 문장 등의 복잡한 구조의 의미를 나타내는 데 있어 상대적으로 약한 측면을 보이며 해석가능하지 않다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 둘의 장점을 섞어서 서로의 단점을 보완하는 새로운 의미 표상을 제안하였으며, 이 표상이 유의미하게 문장의 의미를 담고 있음을 비지도 문장 군집화 문제를 통해 간접적으로 보였다.

This study explores the characteristics and roles of non-textual elements in secondary mathematics textbooks in the United States and South Korea, using a conceptual framework that I have developed: variety, contextuality, and connectivity. Analyzing five U.S. standards-based textbooks and 13 Korean textbooks, this study shows that although non-textual elements in mathematics textbooks are free of literal language, they exhibit different emphases and reflect assumptions about what is important in learning mathematics and how it can be taught and learned in a particular societal context (Mishra, 1999; Zazkis & Gadowsky, 2001). While there are similar patterns in the use of different types of non-textual elements in textbooks from both countries, different opportunities are provided for students to learn mathematics between the two countries.

This study analyzed the uses of external representations presented in the matter units of the 7th-grade science digital textbooks developed under the 2015 revised national curriculum. The level, form, presentation, and interactivity of external representations presented in 5 types of digital textbooks were analyzed. As for the level, the macroscopic level of representations was mainly presented. The macroscopic level and microscopic level of representations were presented together in the particle description. As for the form, visual-verbal and visual-nonverbal representations were usually presented across the board. Very few audial-verbal and audial-nonverbal representations were presented. Visual-verbal and audial-verbal representations were mostly presented in formal form, and visual-nonverbal representations were mostly presented in illustration without movement. The presentation of representations was analyzed in three aspects. First, visual-verbal and visual-nonverbal representations were mainly presented together and none of audial-verbal and visual-nonverbal representations were presented together. When the representations of the audial-verbal, visual-nonverbal, and visual-verbal were presented together, some of the information presented in audial-verbal representations was repeatedly presented in the visual-verbal representations. Second, audial-nonverbal representations not related to learning content were presented along with other representations. Third, there were few cases of arranging visual-verbal and visual-nonverbal representations on the next pages. Audialverbal and visual-nonverbal representations were always presented synchronized. As for the interactivity, the manipulation level was mainly presented in the main area, and the feedback level was mainly presented in the activity area. The adaptation level and the communication level of interactivity were presented very few. Based on the results, the implications for the direction of constructing digital textbooks were discussed.

Various forms of visual representations enable scientific discovery and scientific reasoning when scientists conduct research. Similarly, in science education, visual representations are important as a means to promote students' understanding of science concepts and scientific thinking skills. To provide a framework that could facilitate the effective use of visual representations in science classroom and systemic science education research, a visual representation competence taxonomy (VRC-T) was developed in this study. VRC-T includes two dimensions: the type of visual representation, and the cognitive process of visual representation. The initial categories for each dimension were developed based on literature review. Then validation and revision was made by conducting teachers' workshop and survey to experts. The types of visual representations were grouped into 3 categories (descriptive, procedural, and explanative representations) and the cognitive processes were grouped into 3 categories (interpretation, integration, and construction). The sub categories of each dimension and the validation process would be explained in detail.

A design representation is reflected in the typicality of branch representation as a syntagm in combination with design factors. And the design factors form up paradigm as an attributive category which is reflected object and value of branch representations, and they are consisted of selection and combination in representative process. Selection and combination of the design attributive category also reflect the representation consciousness of operating in representative process, and they imply a cognizance about object and value of the representation. Therefore, branch representation appears an attributive structure which is required of a given field by means of the representative object and value. This is made up of the divided differentiation according to a combined mode. This study is to investigate the fact verification between typicality of attributive structure and each divided differentiation to measure consideration degree of attributive category which is consisted in the design representation. The attributive structure of representation which is affected the industrial design, the visual communication design, and the environmental design fields identifies to take the typical differentiation by means of evaluations and results of this study.
