A questionnaire on "atomic models and electron configuration" was performed on 34 of 11th grade and 38 of 12th grade students who took the Chemistry-II course in order to examine the degree of learning achievement. Also eight Chemistry-II textbooks published in the 6th curriculum were analyzed for the similarities and differences in dealing with this topic and possible improvements were discussed in conjunction with the questionnaire. The results of this questionnaire showed that the degree of learning achievement on the topics between two different classes were not much different in general, although a little difference was found. This indicates that the topics have been taught in early 11th grade but subsequent supplemental teaching has not been performed. To study on the topics of "atomic models and electron configuration" effectively and systematically, knowledge on the basic spectroscopy and quantum mechanics should be preceeded. However this could be practically difficult under the current high school curriculum. Therefore It would be necessary to describe the basic concepts for the quantum mechanics and spectroscopy schematically in the "Reference Materials" section of the textbook, even if it is not very long. On the other hand, the Chemistry-II textbooks analyzed in this work reveal, in general, to have the similar organization and explanation modes. However it has been analyzed that a connection between the Bohr and electron-cloud atomic models might be insufficient or position of electrons might be possible to be misunderstood by students in some textbooks.

Tooth wear is gradually increasing with increasing life expectancy. In particular, it is important to establish a treatment plan in the early stages so that it does not proceed to moderate or severe wear stages. It is essential to diagnose tooth wear accurately in order to plan a treatment for it. There are many risk factors including age, diet, and drugs which affects tooth wear. For the diagnosis of a tooth wear, appropriate index and evaluation method should be used. There were various tooth wear indices such as TWI, Lussi index, BEWE, and TWES. The evaluation method includes clinical examination, dental cast examination and clinical photographs. Recently, a 3D scanner is being used to assess tooth wear. The risk factors, tooth wear evaluation system, the methods of measuring tooth wear, and related literature were reviewed. The strengths and weaknesses of each index and evaluation methods were compared to derive a proper way to diagnose tooth wear.

The objective of this study was to describe specific approaches for data extraction from graph when statistical information is not directly reported in some articles, enabling data intergration and meta-analysis for quantitative data synthesis. Particularly, meta-analysis is an important analysis tool that allows the right decision making for evidence-based medicine by systematically and objectively selects target literature, quantifies the results of individual studies, and provides the overall effect size. For data integration and meta-analysis, we investigated the strength points about the introduction and application of Adobe Acrobet Reader and Python-based Jupiter Lab software, a computer tool that extracts accurate statistical figures from graphs. We used as an example data that was statistically verified throught an previous studies and the original data could be obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov. As a result of meta-analysis of the original data and the extraction values of each computer software, there was no statistically significant difference between the extraction methods. In addition, the intra-rater reliability of between researchers was confirmed and the consistency was high. Therefore, In terms of maintaining the integrity of statistical information, measurement using a computational tool is recommended rather than the classically used methods.

오늘날 IT의 급속한 진보는 많은 변화를 가져왔다. 단순한 자원이나 노동력보다는 첨단과학기술을 이용하여 얼마나 의미 있는 정보를 찾아내고 활용하는가에 따라 개인의 경쟁력이 좌우된다. 즉, 개개인의 창의적인 아이디어와 지식, 정보의 생산과 활용이 앞으로의 국가경쟁력을 좌우하게 된다. 이에 따라 교육계에서도 창의적인 능력을 발휘할 수 있는 인간상을 추구하고 있다. 전국의 초 중등학교가 정보인프라 구축으로 컴퓨터를 활용하는 교육이 가능하게 되었다. 비로소 미래사회를 대비하여 정보우수인력을 길러낼 수 있는 여건이 조성된 것이다. 그러나 현재까지 개발된 초등 컴퓨터 교재는 소프트웨어의 활용법을 소개하는 데 그치고 있다. 컴퓨터 교육이 활용교육으로 치우치다 보니 창의력 제한, 자기 주도적 학습 능력 부족 등 여러 가지 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 컴퓨터 활용법에만 두었던 기존의 교육방법을 탈피하여 체계적이고 쉬운 초등 컴퓨터 창의성 교재 개발 연구 방안을 제시하고자 하는데, 특히 컴퓨터 구조, 운영체제, 네트워크 등의 동작 원리를 기반으로 한다.
