This study investigated the influences of group composition in cooperative computer-assisted instruction (CAI) upon students' conceptual understandings, application abilities, learning motivations, and the perceptions of involvement. Seventh graders (N=97) were selected from a co-ed middle school in Seoul, and taught about 'motion of molecules' for 5 class hours. In the two treatment groups with cooperative CAI strategy, homogeneous and heterogeneous small groups were organized by the previous science achievement. Traditional instructions were administered to the comparison group. Two-way ANCOVA results revealed that the scores of the conception test for the treatment groups were significantly higher than those for the comparison group. However, there was no difference between the homogeneous and the heterogeneous groups. The scores of the three groups did not differ significantly in the application test and the learning motivation test. However, the perceptions of involvement for the treatment groups were more positive than those for the comparison group.

This study investigated the effects of cooperative and individual computer-assisted instructions upon middle school students' science conceptions, achievement, perception of learning environment, and motivation. The cooperative, individual, and traditional learning groups were selected from a middle school, and taught about the motion of molecule for 5 class hours. Data analyses indicated that the students with cooperative computer-assisted instruction scored significantly higher than those with traditional instruction in the tests of conceptual understanding, perception of learning environment and motivation. Better understanding of the cooperative learning group was also found in a retention test of conceptions. In addition, there were significant interactions between the instruction and the level of prior achievement in the tests of retention of conceptions and motivation. Educational implications are discussed.

It is important that the interaction between learners and contents in Educational Contents. But, there is just simple interaction in traditional WBI or CAI. As it is necessary to study for interaction with learners. There is applied more multimedia elements for the fun of learners. But, it is also necessary to study for Network Educational Game Contents which can give virtual environment to learn easily and funny. In this study, Competition Learning Model is designed for network learning environment. We can look at the new view point of Educational Contents by implementation of Network Educational Game Contents and Competition Learning Model.

This research was carried out with emphasis on merits of computers as an education medum. Network technologies make collaboration as easy as they work in the same space. It is generally considered that education should be done with adequate contents and effective methods. But, the methods used in computer graphics education are not different from others, and this fact makes a low efficiency. To improve the education environments, design education program is developed. This is designed on the basis of LAN, and partially on the web. The library where design materials for study are stored and the gallery where design works done by students are exhibited are modules that utilize web technologies. Communication between students will become easy by using whiteboard and feedback from various kinds of user will be done by uploading design works on the web. But the program can be used only in the computer oriented subjects now, so further study should be carried out to broaden the scope of design education.
