Recently there have been some positive evidences on the effects of learning in a virtual environment. However, most of these educational VR systems were not deeply considered in the design of drawing a learner's attention on lesson contents, which would help enhance retained memory. Hence, a study was conducted to measure 17 subjects' attention states using EEC, ECG, GSR, and eye-tracking and their behaviors while they were given guided search task or exploration task in a virtual environment consisting of five major events. It also analyzed the subject's remembered items after their VR experiences using a surrey. This paper Int describes an overview of the ocean virtual environment used in this study, and it then explains the experimental design, apparatus, and method. It will also discuss the results by a detail analysis (in a whole VR session as well as event-related 10-second 33 sub-sessions) with the subjects' attention states and their retained memory after the learning.

Using EEG, human physiological signal, as part of research which investigates the state of student learning and provides appropriate feedback to maximize learning efficiency, the relationship of learning attitude and analysis of EEG for female college student is presented. We study the reaction of learner's EEG using the concentration level extracted from the EEG power spectrum when students learn at various learning attitude. The experiment was conducted for the concentrating on learning and, as a control group, erratic attitude and closed eyes state. The attitude of concentrated Learning shows high concentration index and low relaxation index, where as the erratic attitude, such as eye movement and clicking, shows high level of attention index and noisy wave ratio. Especially, the state of closed eyes shows the ratio of alpha and theta wave under 1. This is distinct with open eyes cases.

This study is aimed to perform the qualitative evaluation based on the ARCS Model of educational mobile applications for smart phones. The evaluation has been performed targeting 60 students who attending the subject of informational education in 3 different universities in 2012 by allowing them to select the available educational mobile App installed in their smart phone. After, the level of persistent learning-intension from each student and the efficacy of ARCS motivational strategy was measured at learner's perspective. The structural equation model(SEM) was established and analyzed with PLS method to understand the relationship between the ARCS motivational strategy and the persistent learning-intension. The results of the study could be summarized as followings. First, the educational mobile App in various the motivational strategies showed different results that is the highest attention as well as the lowest satisfactory level. Second, the relevance in motivation strategies had the statistically significant effect in attention, confidence, and satisfaction. On the other hand, the other factors of attention, relevance, and confidence showed statistically significant effect in satisfaction. Finally, result demonstrate that the relevance is the critical factor inducing the significant effect in persistent learning-intension among the motivational strategies.

In this paper, we propose a method for combining convolutional neural networks and attention mechanism to improve the recognition performance of emotional stress from Electroencephalogram (EGG) signals. In the proposed method, EEG signals are decomposed into five frequency domains, and spatial information of EEG features is obtained by applying a convolutional neural network layer to each frequency domain. As a next step, salient frequency information is learned in each frequency band using a gate transformer-based attention mechanism, and complementary frequency information is further learned through inter-frequency mapping to reflect it in the final attention representation. Through an EEG stress recognition experiment involving a DEAP dataset and six subjects, we show that the proposed method is effective in improving EEG-based stress recognition performance compared to the existing methods.

This study examines the effects of virtual reality learning materials on the learners' learning motivation. For this study, we developed a virtual reality learning material for geological learning that allows observation of the characteristics of rocks in Korean topography that is closely related to learning contents. A 15-hour class was conducted with 91 students using virtual reality learning materials developed for first-year science high school students in D city. ARCS learning motivation strategy was used. Pre-test was conducted before the start of the classes and post-test was conducted after the classes. Statistical processing was analyzed using R-3.5.1 version program. As a result, the utilization of virtual reality learning materials has significant effects on attention concentration, satisfaction, and confidence in the learner's motivation factors. Using virtual reality in geological classes, students' interest in learning activities improve their immersion and concentration, which helps them understand the learning contents better.

이 연구는 인지기제를 활용한 문제기반학습이 학습자의 학업성취도와 수학적 태도에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 우선 초등학교 수학과 학습에서 학습자들의 인지과정을 안내할 수 있는 문제기반학습 설계를 위해 문제기반학습 모형에 란다(N. Landa)의 인지기제 교수학습설계이론을 적용하여 인지기제 활용 문제기반학습 모형을 도출하였다. 그리고 초등학교 수학과 4학년 2학기 4개 단원의 8차시를 추출하여 문제를 개발하고 서울시 소재 'ㅈ' 초등학교 4학년 학생들 중 동질집단으로 확인된 2개 학급에 이 모형을 적용하였다. 연구 결과 인지기제 활용 문제기반학습을 적용한 실험집단과 적용하지 않은 통제집단 간 학업성취도 효과에 있어서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 또한 수학적 태도와 관련해서는 하위영역 중 수학에 대한 자아개념과 수학에 대한 태도 영역에서는 유의한 차이가 있었으나 수학에 대한 학습습관 영역에서는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 특히 세부영역별로 자신감, 흥미, 우월감, 주의집중, 목적의식, 자율학습에 있어서 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 학습기술 적용과 성취동기에 대해서는 유의한 차이가 없었다.

Of computing skills in the field of multi-media, particularly augmented reality technology contents may provide realistic learning experiences with 3D pictures through the learners' manipulation activities. However, the marker systems in the existing studies were not well developed as to maintain the students' interest and concentration. In this study, we have designed the first lesson ("Earth and Moon") of 5th graders' science with augmented reality combined system so that we could deal with manipulation activities of the relationship between augmented objects, From the experimental study, using combined augmented reality contents made a significant difference in their learning achievement and motivation. Thus augmented reality combined system can be utilized for a variety of topics to maintain students' learning motivation.

The present study is aimed at inquiring into the meaning of experience of action learning program for adult learners who participated in action learning program of H financial company which was carried out as a means of corporate training. The goal of study is to examine the essential factors of action learning program impacting on the increase of motivation for learning and the improvement of job-related problem-solving ability of the learners who participated in the learning as well as on the increase of motivation for learning and the improvement of job-related problem-solving ability among the components of action learning program. As for research method, 3 main questions and 15 sub-questions about motivation for learning, job-related problem-solving ability, and components of action learning were prepared for 9 learners who participated in the action learning program, and then focus group interviews (F.G.I) were conducted. The results show that action learning program increased motivation for learning by combining concentration of attention and relevance to job, and the degree of organization of learning team was a key element to improving motivation for learning. Also, through development of alternatives and planning/execution, it impacted on improving job-related problem-solving ability of participants. And the interest and support of the administrator were key elements to improving job-related problem-solving ability. In conclusion, the results show that action learning program in corporate job training activities improves motivation for learning of the participants. Therefore, in order to improve job-related problem-solving ability of the participants in job training, more focus should be put on concentration of attention and reinforcement of relevance to the job and more interest and support should be given to organization of appropriate learning teams among components of action learning program. Along with this, the administrator needs to grasp participants' awareness of problems and pay attention and give support to the participants to enhance the performance of planning/execution.
