  • Urban planning and engineering undergraduate students need to understand the earth physical systems and that how human beings interact with the earth systems to planning and engineering urban area. The eco-friendly or geo-friendly design and planning of an urban area is a critical issue not only for economic benefits but more importantly for the sustainable future of urban life. However, little study has been done dealing with the urban engineering students' understanding of the earth as a system and what pedagogical approach is appropriate to improve their understanding of the earth as a system. This study is to investigate the impact of a purposely designed ESS course on urban engineering students' understanding of the earth as a system and their perceptions about the instructional approaches of the course on their learning competency. This study utilized a mixed-methodology with three main data sources: concept maps, student's perception survey about their learning competency, and course contents. Both the survey and concept maps were analyzed quantitatively as well as qualitatively. The result of this study showed that the urban engineering students' experience of team-based research about the topic they chose based on their own interest had a positive impact on their understanding of the earth as a system and their learning competency. The results of this study suggest that structuring and presenting the earth system contents in the context of engineering students' understanding and their future career be effective not only for the improvement of students' content knowledge but also for the enhancement of their learning competency such as creativity and problem-solving skills in everyday life situation.

  • In this study, there is a modeling for the procedure and operational method of the project based capstone design and related products which are a certificate of graduate status, and those results were evaluated by self-review and the performance assessment. Finally, the improvements in the operating management method are proposed. Before one semester by the end of to the assessment, the design thesises of capstone results are fixed to the 15 sets by 2 people in each group. All teams are satisfied the criteria of evaluation, and they all got a grad over 60 points. The mean value of their's score are similar to the average of recent 5 years. The results of self-evaluations and questionaries indicate a totally self-satisfied(3.8~4points out of 5), but the weak parts of this procedure are known as the area of plan making and Implementation. Also, there are some problems associated with a group of people into a team by the human relation rather than knowledge based mutual supplementation.

  • This paper describes the research aimed at improving the evaluation method of practical exams in a field of welding on a national technical qualification examination based on national competency standards (NCS). In this study, new evaluation methods of practical exams on master craftsman welding reflect the latest welding technique trends and are applied to the ability unit and the fulfillment criteria of the national competency standards. The effects are then verified through an advisory conference and demonstration evaluation. The practical exams on the master craftsman welding in the current welding field were analyzed systematically. In the future, the national technical qualification examination of master crafts welding will be applied after completing the revision of the question standards through an expert group in its duty fields based on this research.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions between teachers and parents on the role and operation of Sejong Special Self-Governing City Early Childhood Education and Development Institute (ECED). The conclusions were as follows: First, more than 96% of the teachers and parents perceived that it was necessary to establish ECED, and the major role of the institute should be providing experience-based educational program. Second, the program of the institute should be organized based on interest induction of children and their creativity development, and cultural art experience-based education was the most desirable program for the weekend. Third, for the teacher support programs, professional development and empathy ability improvement were the key of the program, whereas the parents perceived that communication skills with their children and understanding of child development were essential. As a result, it was obvious that the needs of ECED establishment from teachers and parents were high, and the perceptions of both sides were not different.

  • In this study, considering the OECD's DeSeCo and 2030 projects, the curriculum to develop competency was expected to be more emphasized, and the evaluation standards of the 2015 revised mathematics curriculum for elementary school in Korea and the Australian curriculum were analyzed in depth. To this end, the capabilities newly emphasized in the OECD 2030 Project were examined in detail and examined how the Australian elementary school mathematics curriculum included capabilities in achievement standards and content descriptions. The achievement standards of elementary school mathematics curriculum in Korea and Australia were matched, and the contents of number and arithmetic domain were compared and analyzed, and the skill verbs included in the achievement standards were analyzed and compared to see how their competencies were reflected in the achievement standards. Based on the results of the analysis, implications for improving math achievement standards were derived to faithfully reflect the capabilities into the mathematics curriculum.

  • The ability to utilize information of learner can do self-directed learning that increases creativity of learner. But in the middle and high schools, if 2009 revision curriculum has to be enforce, the education of information knowledge and literacy is expected to leave the education undone at schools. Therefore the ability of leaners must develop through teaching in all subjects, and so the ability of teachers in the class is very important. We examined the actual conditions about the ability of pre-service and in-service teachers, and analyzed the gap of the ability between in-service and pre-service teachers. The indexes of total ability of in-service and pre-service teachers are shown to be 74.4 points and 50.5 points out of 100. The ability of pre-service teachers is on the level about 68-percent as compared with the ability of in-service teachers. Therefor the education offices of cities and provinces and the teacher training institutes must establish for improvement of the ability of pre-service teachers.

  • With our society entering the Fourth Industrial Revolution, there has been heightened interest in coding education, which has led to an increased number of coding classes offered in schools. Once catered to degree holders only, coding courses are now being offered as liberal arts courses to even non-majors. As the importance of computing abilities and creativity-oriented education through software learning becomes increasingly pronounced, the need for research on effective coding learning is growing more urgent. The present study sought an effective coding education model that would encourage and enhance learners' participation and interest in coding. The proposed learning model is designed to invoke learner's recognition of various coding grammars and data search in the process of designing and performing their own unique project. Application of the proposed learning model and analysis of such case studies showed improvement in learning outcomes. One can expect improved performance among learners if the proposed learning model is applied to various coding courses.
