This study analyse the case of research misconduct in order to establish research ethics that was appeared in Assembly hearing process for the candidate of the minister of education(MOE) in July 9, 2014. Based on the analytic results, this study is proposed that provide the institutions to promote responsible conduct of research, implement the research ethics education to all researchers and improve the laboratory culture and evaluation system. This study has the limitations because a single case study. The study is expected to have interest in research ethics and to be up to empirical generalizations through quantitative research.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the necessity of fostering empathy through design education since elementary education in order to develop human resources required in the artificial intelligence society. First we studied the definition, necessity and the present domestic state of design education. Also studied the elements of empathy, its necessity in the age of artificial intelligence, and how children can enhance empathy. Finally, we researched cases of design and empathy education abroad. In conclusion, the Nordic countries have developed social innovations through design and high levels of empathy. Also, design education in the form of playing with the process of communication, discussion and cooperation is important. Based on this study, we hope various design education programs develop that can foster empathy.

The purpose of this study is to identify the current state of coding education for children and to propose a new 'play-oriented' educational content to keep up with the problems of education in line with the revision process of the 4th Industrial Revolution. As a research method, we investigated and analyzed the case of the Korean early childhood coding education program, and then suggested the direction of the future infant coding education and suggested a new play area for children. Case analysis shows that current coding education places many restrictions on children's activities. So we propose a coding education space as a 'playing space' where children can actively play. Because the space is used, emotional education is possible because it can stimulate senses such as vision, touch and smell. In addition, this study is expected to cultivate not only spatial comprehension, but also imagination, creativity and cooperation. In future research, we will study the characteristics and technical process of children in-depth to help develop early childhood education.

Although organizations are providing information security policy, education and support to guide their employees in security policy compliance, accidents by non-compliance is still a never ending problem to organizations. This study investigates the factors that influence employees' information security policy compliance behavior using elements of Triandis model. We analyzed the relationships among Triandis model's factors using PLS(Partial Least Squares). The result of the hypothesis tests shows that organization can induce individual's information security policy compliance intention and behavior by information security policy and facilitating conditions that support it, and proves the importance of members' expected value, habit and affect about information security compliance. This study is significant in a way that it applies Triandis model in the field of information security, and presents direction for members' information security behavior, and will be able to provide measures to establish organization's information security policy and increase members' compliance behavior.

The learning application of the rotating object utilizing smart devices, it is possible by using the touch functionality and 3D graphics to enhance the realism and operational feeling, and to overcome the limitations of learning content existing. In this study, I designed a "rotation class" based on the learning contents of elementary and middle mathematics education and developed the learning application which driven by smart Android-based device by using Andoroid API class and the OpenGL ES Because this application is driven by the smart devices, learners easily can make the rotated objects and observe them. It can be utilized in various for elementary and middle education.

The development case presented is about the development of smart education contents for development of creativity, and suggests the development contents and approach to design of software of teaching materials based on G-Learning which allow learner to interact depending on their dispositions. Above all, focusing on design approach in order to maximize interaction which is the characteristic of game, the education contents that enable learner to be immersed by education level as per learner's disposition have been developed, and it allows to compose the level of difficulty based contents according to level design plan. Also, it is the case that the contents allow for effective education by setting visual environment which enables learner to be immersed depending on learner's disposition with the realization of object which appears in respect of vision and visual Customizing of character.
