CRESST(the National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing at UCLA) is now carrying out the research, which was scheduled for a five year period from 2007 to 2011. This research aimed at testing the effectiveness of the formative assessment program by continuously conducting the program on the target group and steadily applying the recurring feedback, in order to reform the teachers' teaching and to facilitate students' learning. To do this, CRESST has set out to develop the material for 7th graders since January 2007, and KICE(Korea Institute of Curriculum and Evaluation) have been running a collaborated research since July 2007, while sharing the instructional materials developed by CRESST. In 2008, the pre-test was conducted prior to this study in 2009. Especially, this paper deals with the Korean 7th graders' scholastic achievements in algebra domain measured by PowerSource(c). In addition, this study would examine the responses of teachers and students on its application.

Formative assessment is considered one of the effective strategies for teaching and learning mathematics. But it seems that there are few systematic researches which cover the process of practicing formative assessment in a class and providing feedback to the students. This study adopts CRESST Formative Assessment Program as a prototype. After some modifications of it to suit our educational system, this study analyzes the effectiveness of applying that program to the 7th grade level-differentiated math classes. Afterwards, this study tries to draw some significant educational discussions and implications for improving teaching and learning mathematics.

Many studies on algorithm judging system which verifies the correctness and the time efficiency of your program have been underway recently, most of which are on an online judging system focused on programming contests. However this study is mainly about development and application of the judging system based on client-server. Especially, we designed to promote metacognition and motivation which are emphasized in CRESST model, and implemented the total system that consists of the problem, data set, validation program, and user service environments. We applied our system to elementary, middle, and high school students, and We noticed a significant difference of average score between the experimental and control group in posttest and concluded that the teaching method using our system gave the bigger positive effects on programming learning.

There are observational difficulties determining dynamical masses of binary star components in the upper HR diagram both due to the scarcity of massive binary systems and spectral and photometric contamination produced by the strong wind outflows in these systems. We discuss how variable X-ray emission in these systems produced by wind-wind collisions in massive binaries can be used to constrain the system parameters, with application to two important massive binaries, Eta Carinae and WR 140.

This study investigated what effects multiple intelligence, through which the diverse intelligence abilities of a learner are identified, has on technological problem solving ability according to sex. And it was carried out to present a way to reduce the gap between boys and girls in technological problem solving ability. The subject was 833 middle school students in the third grade (boys: 423, girls: 410) whose schools are located in a megalopolis or more large area. And the instruments developed by Yong-Lyn Moon(2001) and in CRESST(1998) were used. The results of this study are as follows. First, it appeared that there were statistically meaningful differences at six items in multiple intelligence between boys and girls. The six items were bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, naturalistic intelligence, musical intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and introspective intelligence. Second, in technological problem solving ability, it appeared that boys and girls showed statistically meaningful differences at self-regulation and problem solving strategy. Third, it appeared that logical-mathematical intelligence, linguistic intelligence, introspective intelligence, and natural intelligence had an effect on boys in the way of self-regulation and logic-mathematical intelligence, introspective intelligence, naturalistic intelligence, and linguistic intelligence did on girls. Fourth, it appeared that logical-mathematical intelligence, musical intelligence, and bodily-kinesthetic intelligence had an effect on boys in the way of problem solving ability and linguistic intelligence and musical intelligence had on girls. Fifth, it appeared that logical-mathematical intelligence did an effect on both sexes in drawing up the understanding of contents. On the basis of the results of this study, the area related to multiple intelligence directly or indirectly should be developed in the course of designing the primary and secondary curriculums to reduce the gap between boys and girls in multiple intelligence. With these efforts, the scholastic attainments gap caused by the difference of multiple intelligence will be overcome.

The purpose of this study is to find out the relationship between the Multiple Intelligence and the technological problem solving and the differences between the two. There were a group of 200 third grade middle school students that were comprised of 100 boys and 100 girls and what the difference is exited between the boys and the girls. To measure the students' Multiple Intelligence, MI(Multiple Intelligent)Test designed by Youngrin, Moon was used. As the testing instrument of the Technological problem Solving, we use the test developed by National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Students Testing(CRESST). The results were; First, In comparison with the boys and girls' multiple intelligence part, there were individual differences in musical intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, and naturalistic intelligence of multiple intelligence. Second, In comparison to the technological problem solving part, there were individual differences in self-regulation and there was a mild difference in understanding of the contents. Third, The multiple intelligence related with the self-regulation is continuous with logical-mathematical intelligence, intra-personal intelligence and linguistic intelligence. Fourth, The multiple intelligence related with the technological problem solving strategy is continuous with logical-mathematical intelligence and musical intelligence. Fifth, The multiple intelligence related with the understanding of the contents is continuous with the logical-mathematical intelligence and naturalistic intelligence. To improve the students' technological problem solving ability, it is required the development of the curriculum which focus on the improvement of logical-mathematical intelligence, musical intelligence, intra-personal intelligence, linguistic intelligence and naturalistic intelligence of the students.
