Environmental education is the most important and fundamental way to deal with the climate change. The school policy concentrating on environmental education, which has been established and financially supported by the Korea Ministry of Environment, provides an environment for natural experiment, examining the effect of reinforcing environmental education at schools on the energy-saving behaviours observed in the households concerned. We investigated the impact by applying the difference-in-difference measure to various utilities including water, electricity and gas between the households with children whose schools were designated as pilot environmental education schools in 2011 and the households with children attending general schools. The results showed that the households with children attending the pilot environmental education schools paid lower electricity and gas costs. This implies that environmental education provided at schools can indirectly affect the household energy saving behaviour and in turn reduce the total energy consumption in a short time.

The objectives of this study is to suggest marketing strategies directed of retroactive-socialized parents who have environmental-educated children at school. For this purpose, this study based on the consumer socialization agent such as family and demographic variables were studied. The scope of this study includes attitudes toward price and advertising, and interests related to environmental problems and environmental-products preference. As a result, The parents of environmental-educated children get much more environmental information and show favorable buying behaviors for environmental-products. Most of parents who get environmental information from children educated at school show favorable attitude towards the advertising and also show more preference to environmental-products and more frequent communication among family members. Parents who have environmental-educated children were insensitive to price, more consciousness about environmental problem and flexible to change in their buying behaviors. In conclusion, This study shows that behaviors of children had a significant influence on buying behavior of parents.

지능형 서비스 로봇은 인공지능 및 센서인터페이스 등의 다양한 기능과 IT기술의 접목으로 우리의 생활을 윤택하게 해줄 수 있는 인간 지향적인 성격으로 발전하고 있다. 또한 많은 분야에서 새로운 서비스 개발을 통해서 좀더 인간의 생활에 가까이 접근되어 지고 있다. 한편 국내 초등학교에서 초등교사는 학생 수의 과다로 능동적이기 보다는 수동적인 수업을 하고 있어서 학습 효율성이나 능률성이 떨어지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 발전하고 있는 서비스 로봇 기술로 능동적인 수업형태와 자율적이고 창의적인 학습 및 교육서비스를 제공할 수 있는 교사도우미 로봇을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 로봇은 기존의 지능형 서비스 로봇과 ICT(Information & Communication Technology) 교육을 접목할 수 있는 로봇의 제반 환경의 구성과 더불어 교육 현장에 알맞도록 HRI 및 시나리오를 기반으로 개발되었고, 로봇의 주요기능은 교사지원, 학습보조, 수업지원 등으로 사전 설문조사를 통하여 필요성이 높은 기능을 중심으로 설정되었다. 개발된 초등학교 지원 로봇은 2006년 10월부터 대전지능로봇산업화센터에서 초등학교 학생을 대상으로 시범수업을 준비하고 있고, 2007년도 중반에는 초등학교에서 시범사업을 추진할 예정이다.

In this paper, we present the results of educational innovation case study using U-Learning Box and Ubiquitous-based Test(UBT) system for 6 sample primary schools in Nepal. As Nepal is considered to be a developing country with electricity problem to the school, the U-Learning Box, consisting of a small and easy-to-use tablet PC for teacher and a small smart beam with its own battery was evaluated as the optimum solution to support continuous basic English and hygiene education for these schools. And UBT technology using tablet PC was used to evaluate and analyze basic English learning ability of the students, which helped us realized that it is necessary to improve the educational environment and develop suitable educational contents. We hope that the global educational innovation using U-Learning Box and UBT technology will become a successful model for global equality of educational opportunity project for developing countries including Nepal.

Although environmental education has increased in importance, few studies have been performed on the quantitative effect of environmental education on energy-saving and garbage-reducing behavior. Accordingly, this study quantitatively analyses the effect of environmental education on energy-saving and garbage-reduction. In this study, we compared reduction in energy use and garbage production between two groups, one receiving specialized and focused environmental education, and one receiving only general environmental education. We found that focused environmental education resulted in some quantifiably positive effects in encouraging energy-saving and garbage-reducing behavior. Specifically, household energy costs and amounts of school food waste for children receiving specialized environmental training were noticeably lower than those for children receiving only general environmental education. These results suggest that enhanced environmental education policy, including the launching of an environmental model school, is needed both to reduce energy use and garbage production.

This study analyzed the application articles of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the educational environment. It defined learning environmental data, utilization scenarios, and models that IoT can improve teaching and learning through Focus Group Interviews for academic experts, teachers, and technicians in related fields. In addition, the IoT pilot prototype was developed, verified, and drew implications from the perspective of collection, analysis, and utilization of real-time data based on the actual school settings. This study has significance as a priori case of building and applying a learning environment using the Internet of Things in real school settings considering relevant restrictions.

In order to solve the problems of maintenance and security for information-infrastructure, public organizations and some of leading companies adopted Server Based Computing(SBC) infrastructure. The effectiveness and possibility of SBC has become focused with the Cloud-Computing infrastructure, which is a extended concept of SBC, as it is being magnified as a main part among the internet business models for the next generation. The purpose of this study was to analyze its probability in elementary and secondary school and find out its effectiveness. In order to do this, three model schools have been selected from GyeongBuk, ChungNam, ChungBuk province and they were managed by SBC infrastructure. And We conducted analysis of satisfaction for teachers and students, interview with teachers and classroom observation as a effectiveness verification. As the results of the analysis, First, we can find out which part we should consider more when we are to adopt SBC infrastructure. Second, the level of satisfaction for teachers is 3.45 and students is 3.2. Therefore, this study was concluded to contribute to find directions what should be considered when setting the SBC infrastructure in elementary and secondary schools.
