  • Digital therapy has emerged as a novel treatment modality, propelled by advancements in information and communication technology. In the last five years, there has been a substantial surge in research publications addressing digital therapeutics (DTx) interventions, signaling a sustained upward trajectory in this field. The dynamic nature of computer science, marked by continuous innovation and development, underscores the need for agile adaptation to rapid changes. Consequently, computer science education is compelled to offer students insights into the latest trends. This research endeavors to contribute to the evolving landscape by developing textbooks that impart knowledge about DTx, an integration of information technology. The study focuses on the application of these textbooks to elementary and middle school students in South Korea. The instructional materials have been carefully organized to enable students to learn about the principle of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) DTx at the elementary level and the DTx that can prevent and address the digital drama at the middle school level. Based on the application of the textbook, students who received instruction using the textbook showed statistically significant improvements in all subcategories of creative problem-solving ability, including idea modification, visualization, task focus, analogy, idea generation, and elaboration (p<.01). Additionally, there were statistically significant changes in students' self-efficacy before and after using the textbook, with negative efficacy decreasing, and positive efficacy and social efficacy increasing (p<.001).

  • The successful use of digital textbooks (DTs) in schools requires the development of various teaching and learning methods that are appropriate for DTs. However, recent DT studies have focused mainly on the implementation of DT features and formats. The objective of this study was to investigate a problem-based learning instructional model appropriate to DTs and to present the experimental results using the problem-based DT to demonstrate its educational effectiveness. Two learning-achievements tests were conducted to analyze the learning experience and effectiveness of the problem-based DT after it had been used in a high school for a certain period. The experimental results indicated that the students who used the DT, especially lower-level students, exhibited improved problem-solving ability and demonstrated a better practical understanding of the subject than students who used printed textbooks.

  • According to the textbook utilization survey, university students buy 6.4 books and spend 94,000 won per semester. However, nearly half of books are left unused. Therefore many students buy used textbooks instead of buying new books at a fixed price. The existing used textbook trading platforms support basic functions, but don't support textbook recommendation function and reference book recommendation function. In this paper, we developed a used textbook trading platform BookCue that provides textbook recommendation function, reference book recommendation function, and consignment trading function reflecting the regional characteristics. It is expected that will contribute to reduce university students' burden that buying textbook by forming textbooks trading environment and preserve environment. In the near future our platform will need to expand to a platform that deals with a variety of goods, as well as used textbooks in the region.

  • According to the 2007 national curriculum amendment, new 'informatics' textbooks have been used since 2010 as a textbook for middle school first graders and will eventually be used in other grades. However, only a few studies that have evaluated the 'informatics' textbooks, have been performed. What is worse is the fact that none of the evaluating tools even exist. Therefore, we propose the criteria of selecting 'informatics' textbooks in middle school. Its contents can be summarized as follows: First, this paper classifies previous studies on textbook evaluation into general criteria of selecting textbooks, method of textbook analysis based on how inquisitively students can learn and previous studies which analyzed existing secondary school 'informatics' textbooks and propose the criteria of selecting 'informatics' textbooks in middle school. Second, using the proposed selection criteria for 'informatics' textbooks and other evaluation criteria, five kinds of informatics textbooks were analyzed. Furthermore, it is expected that we can use the selection criteria as a material to choose the new 'Information science' textbooks, and to suggest alternative directions of future studies in the area of evaluating 'Information science' textbooks.

  • In this study, the texts of science textbooks of the past 20 years were collected in order to systematically carry out researches on scientific languages and scientific terms that have not been noticed in science education. We have collected all the science textbooks from elementary school to high school in the 6th curriculum, the 7th curriculum, and the 2009 revised curriculum, and constructed a corpus comprising of 132 textbooks in total. Sequentially, a raw corpus, a morphological annotated corpus, and a semantic annotated corpus of science terms, were constructed. The final constructed science textbook corpus was named K-STeC (Korean Science Textbook Corpus). K-STeC is a semantic annotated corpus with semantic classification and classification of scientific terms, together with meta information of bibliographic information such as curriculum, subject, grade, and publisher, location information such as chapter, section, lesson, page, and sentence, and structure information such as main, inquiry activities, reference materials, and titles. Throughout the three-year study period, a new research method was created by integrating the know-how of the three fields of linguistic informatics, computer science and science education, and a large number of experts were put in to produce labor-intensive results. This paper introduces new research methodologies and outcomes by looking at the whole research process and methods, and discusses the possibility of future development of scientific language research and how to use the results.

  • In order to measure students' fun and the effectiveness of teaching materials related to computer science theory, this paper conducted an experiment lesson against middle school students using Timbel's 'Unplugged' textbook. A preliminary test was conducted and it revealed that the students' understanding of computer science theory was extremely poor. The learner's fun for the experimental lesson showed the positive reaction in the viewpoint of expectation, engagement, endurability. In post-test after one month, the students were able to recall most of the materials covered during the experiment lesson. In addition, they all showed sign of good understanding. In conclusion, Timbel's textbook proved effective in increasing students' fun and learning ability related to computer science theory. Furthermore, this paper would like to suggest a new type of Informatics science teaching material that might be essential for future computer science education.
