In the self-directed learning, learner can construct learning course. But it is very difficult for learner to construct learning course with understanding the various learning contents's characteristics. This research proposed the method to support to learner the information of learning contents type to fit the learner as calculate the learner's learning preference when learner construct the learning course. The calculating method of learning preference used preference vector value of topic map. To apply this method, we tested 20 learning sampling group and presented that this method help to learner to construct learning course as getting the high average degree of learning satisfaction.

We developed the introductory course for the systematic education of the engineering design. The main purpose of this course is to have students equipped with the basic skills to study advanced design courses and to stimulate student's inquisitiveness. The course consisted of student-centered activities to cultivate the creative thinking, teamwork skills, communication skills. In this article we discussed about the unique features of instructional design, operating methods and effectiveness of the course.

In order to discuss identity of Interior Design as an academic study, I analyzed educational objectives and curriculums of Interior Design in tertiary educational institutions. To this end, I surveyed 83 colleges and categorized those colleges based on their school system and academic field where the college is included. First, according to the school system I classified them into 2-, 3-, 4-year course. Then, I categorized each of them into subcategories based on their fields; 2 year course into Design field and Construction Engineering field, 3 year course into Construction, Engineering and Design, 4 year course into Design, Life Science, Engineering and Construction. Referring to a Classified table of majors and fields by KIID, I reorganized them into ten big categories: (1)Design Theory (2)Design Technique (3)Interior Composition Elements (4)Basic Practice (5)Advanced Practice (6)Psychology and Behaviour (7)Design Management (8)History of Interior Design (9)Digital Design (10)Communication. The afore-mentioned ten curriculum categories show characteristics formed by composition in each school system. The curriculum categories in school system had differences in composition depending on each field. By examining similarities and differences among them, I concluded attributes of each field. I hope the result of this study can contribute to consistent study to establish and develop the academic identity of Interior Design.

The emerging Fourth Industrial Revolution has triggered fundamental shifts in the fashion industry. Advanced digital technologies are not only reshaping how the fashion supply chains function, but also requisitioning new skill sets for jobs in this industry. A mismatch in required skills between current and future jobs is a critical issue that needs to be addressed in the fashion industry. Similarly, it is imperative that fashion programs in higher education keep pace with the rapid changes disrupting the fashion sector. Nevertheless, the increasing speed and the magnitude of digital transformation make it challenging to keep fashion curricula up to date. This paper presents the case of a Digital Merchandising course. Using the principles of designing flexible curricula and backward design, this Digital Merchandising course was developed to be flexible and responsive to the changing business environment. Building digital intelligence was the central learning goal for students to accomplish. The paper discusses the conceptual development processes for the course and provides, visual examples of major learning assignments, and a variety of digital tools. Fashion educators are encouraged to consider backward design and flexible curricula design guides as complementary tools to the widely used Bloom's taxonomy.

In this paper, the author carried out the study to develop oil spill response training courses for competent responders examining IMO guidelines and response training courses of developed maritime countries as well as Korea. According to a result of study, fundamental training courses are to be established on the basis of IMO guideline, and also to prepare pre-arranged brief course like Basics of Spill Response for beginner. The courses should be step-by-step related with mutual continuous contents, and more times are given to on-site training for basic course and to classroom lecture with desk-top exercise for advanced course. Besides, SCAT shall be added to shoreline cleanup course, finally it is advisable that total 9 types of courses are established with additional refresh course.

Through importance and achievement analysis of participating students in Youth employment academy, 'webtoon specialist education course', the purpose of this study is to derive implications for invigorating webtoon specialist education course. The result of importance and achievement analysis is as follows. First, participating students consider that education course is important for them, express high satisfaction. Second, participating students consider that education infrastructure is important, so need to upgrade. Third, Communication is not important factor, participating students are satisfied with communication. Fourth, employment rate is not important factor, participating students are lowly satisfied with employment rate. Because major participating students are sophomore & junior in university and will choose their own business instead of getting the job, they express low satisfaction of importance and achievement. Through this study, I would like to suggest implications and advanced strategies for invigorating webtoon specialist education course for creating youth jobs.

This paper reports the results of course restructuring employing design projects in an introductory mechanics of materials course at Pennsylvania State University. Unlike traditional lecture courses, students were encouraged to learn the rudiments of mechanical design and how materials standards, economics, manufacturing, environmental, legal (liability) and societal (safety) concerns relate to design. Through conducting collaborative design projects, the instructors helped students to acquire more advanced skills such as team-based decision making, integration and establishment of criteria, use of modern design theory, consideration of alternative solutions, and application of realistic constraints. In order to examine the impact of new course changes on students' learning, a survey was conducted in 1998 Fall semester. According to the results of survey analyses, students reported high values on this introductory mechanics of materials course. However, they did not give high values on the design projects. Rather, they preferred lecture sessions. Additionally, it was also found that students who earned higher grades from a prerequisite course(statics) showed lower values on the design projects. Implications for engineering educators and suggestions for future research studies were discussed.

In this study, we examined the relationships among years of teaching experience, professional rank, number of courses taken, and knowledge of algebra for teaching (KAT). 338 in-service and 376 pre-service secondary mathematics teachers in China completed a KAT questionnaire. Various statistical techniques were employed to examine these relationships. The pre-service participants teachers performed statistically significantly higher in advanced mathematics knowledge than their in-service counterparts. Among the inservice teachers, senior teachers had scored higher in school mathematics and teaching mathematics, compared with junior teachers. Yet participants' advanced mathematics knowledge decreased as their professional rank advanced or their teaching experience increased. The number of courses taken has significantly positive correlation with school mathematics knowledge and advanced mathematics knowledge. The implications of these findings for mathematics teacher education are discussed.

Track-before-detect techniques based on dynamic programming have provided solutions for detecting targets from a sequence of images. In its application to airborne threat detection, dynamic programming solutions should take into account the distinguishable properties of objects in a collision course. This paper describes the development of a new track scoring function that accumulates scores for airborne targets in Bayesian framework. Numerical results show that the proposed scoring function has slightly better detection capabilities.
