기술의 발전에 따라 사회, 경제, 산업에서 다양한 변화를 겪고 있다. 이러한 변화를 4차 산업 혁명이라고 부르며, 이러한 변화를 주도하는 기술로 로봇이 주목받고 있다. 로봇은 다양한 연구에서 교육적 효과가 뛰어나다는 것이 확인되었고, 이에 따라 로봇을 교육에 도입하기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되었다. 하지만, 로봇교육과 관련된 다양한 요인이 로봇 교육의 활성화를 저해하고 있었다. 특히, 다른 나라에 비해 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도는 부정적이었으며, 이러한 부정적인 태도는 2015 개정 교육과정에서 로봇 교육의 어려움을 유발할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도와 다양한 요인에 따른 차이를 분석하였다. 연구 대상은 K 대학에 다니고 있는 317명의 예비 교사이었으며, 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도를 측정하기 위하여 선행 연구에서 활용한 Negative Attitude towards Robots Scale(NARS)를 사용하였다. NARS를 통하여 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도를 살펴본 결과, 성별에 따라 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 차이가 나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 로봇을 조작한 경험과 로봇 관련 강의를 수강한 여부가 로봇에 대한 태도가 차이 나게 만드는 요소인 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 반대로 매체를 통한 로봇을 접촉한 경험은 로봇에 대한 태도에 관련이 없었다. 이와 같은 연구를 통하여 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도에 미치는 요인을 살펴볼 수 있었다. 향후 연구에서는 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도를 긍정적으로 바꾸기 위한 방안에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

In this article, I discuss an International Collaborative Writing Course on the Internet (ICWCI) that focused on the learning effectiveness Korean EFL students (KEFLSs) perceived to be necessary to exchange with international EFL students (IEFLSs). The course development was based on an internet-based instructional module, applying widely accepted EFL theories for modern foreign language instruction: collaborative learning, process writing, project-based learning, and integrated approaches. Data from online discussion forum, mid-of-semester and end-of-semester surveys, and final oral interviews are conducted and discussed. KEFLSs and IEFLSs were questioned about (a) changes in attitude towards computers assisted language learning (CALL); (b) effect of computer background on motivation; (c) perception of their acquired writing skills; and (d) attitude towards collaborative learning. The result of this study demonstrated that the majority of ICWCI participants said they enjoyed the course, gained fruitful confidence in English communication and computer skills, and felt that they made significant progress in writing skills. In spite of positive benefits created by the ICWCI, it was found that there were some issues that are crucial to run appropriate networked collaborative courses. This study demonstrates that participants' computer skills, basic language proficiency, and local time differences are important factors to be considered when incorporating the ICWCI as these may affect the quality of online instructional courses and students' motivation toward network based collaboration interaction.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignancy in Malaysia, where data are limited regarding knowledge and barriers in regard to CRC and screening tests. The aim of the study was to assess these parameters among Malaysians. Materials and Methods: The questionnaires were distributed in the Umra Private Hospital in Selangor. The questionnaire had four parts and covered social-demographic questions, respondent knowledge about CRC and colorectal tests, attitude towards CRC and respondentaction regarding CRC. More than half of Malay participants (total n=187) were female (57.2%) and 36.9% of them were working as professionals. Results: The majority of the participants (93.6%) never had a CRC screening test. The study found that only 10.2% of the study participants did not consider that their chances of getting CRC were high. A high percentage of the participants (43.3%) believed that they would have good chance of survival if the cancer would be found early. About one third of the respondents did not want to do screening because of fear of cancer, and concerns of embarrassment during the procedure adversely affected attitude to CRC screening as well. Age, gender, income, family history of CRC, vegetable intake and physical activity were found to be significant determinants of knowledge on CRC. Conclusions: The major barriers identified towards CRC screening identified in our study were fear of pain and embarrassment. The findings have implications for understanding of similarities and differences in attitude to CRC amongst elderly patients in other cultural/geographic regions.

Recently, predicting personality with the help of smartphone usage is become very interesting and attention grabbing topic in the field of research. At present there are some approaches towards detecting a user's personality which uses the smartphones usage data, such as call detail records (CDRs), the usage of short message services (SMSs) and the usage of social networking services application. In this paper, we focus on the predicting user attitude based on MBTI theory by using their smartphone usage data. We used Naïve Bayes and SVM classifier for classifying user personalities by extracting some features from smartphone usage data. From analysis it is observed that, SVM classifier works well as compared to Naïve Bayes.

As the importance of electronic commerce(EC) increases, some people argue that traditional commerce(TC) will ultimately give way to EC in the near future. Regardless of the type of commerce, however, it is the value factors of the customer that would formulate the direction of change in the market. This study investigates the influence of those value factors upon the attitude towards the type commerce and the repurchase intention of products and service. It also addresses the impact of the customer's risk disposition and level of confidence. A number of customer's value factors are hypothesized to affect the attitude, and the attitude in turn is expected to be related to the repurchase intention. Based on two hundred and ninety responses from the computer survey, the hypotheses are tested. The convenience, cost reduction, and information satisfaction factors affect EC attitude and repurchase intention. Similarly, the reliability, personal interaction, and shopping enjoyment factors affect TC attitude and repurchase intention. The comparison between EC and TC factors indicates the significant difference in the time saving factor in favor of EC. The personal characteristics such as risk disposition and level of confidence also influence the attitude and repurchase intention. The implications and limitations of this study are discussed. The value factors identified in this study may serve as important checklists for those firms already in EC and those intending to enter the market.

For effectively lowering down the risk of cyber threating, the zero-trust architecture (ZTA) has been gradually deployed to the fields of smart city, Internet of Things, and cloud computing. The main concept of ZTA is to maintain a distrustful attitude towards all devices, identities, and communication requests, which only offering the minimum access and validity. Unfortunately, adopting the most secure and complex multifactor authentication has brought enterprise and employee a troublesome and unfriendly burden. Thus, authors aim to incorporate machine learning technology to build an employee behavior analysis ZTA. The new framework is characterized by the ability of adjusting the difficulty of identity verification through the user behavioral patterns and the risk degree of the resource. In particular, three key factors, including one-time password, face feature, and authorization code, have been applied to design the adaptive multifactor continuous authentication system. Simulations have demonstrated that the new work can eliminate the necessity of maintaining a heavy authentication and ensure an employee-friendly experience.
