Robot programming often sparks students' interest in programming, but it is not easy for them to program both procedure and reactivity of robot movements that are essential requirements. In this study, we reviewed in detail a new programming language, State-Based Squeak. It allows novice students to implement both procedure and reactivity of robots easily. The effect of this new language on robot programming education was also examined using a group of 28 middle school students. According to the results of analyzing the students' understanding of programming, reading and programming abilities the group that used State-Based Squeak (the experimental group) showed a higher completion ratio than the other (control) group. The significance of this study is that a robot programming language has been developed that addresses the concepts of both procedure and reactivity in such a way that middle school students can more easily learn how to program robots, something that is often difficult to attempt even for professional programmers.

Chemistry laboratory class was produced for senior high school freshmen with the cooperation of university staffs, high school teachers and the university students. Although the students who will take the lab class are senior high school freshmen, we decided to prepare four experiments that are simple and have highly visible reactions or transformation. That is, 1) Water purification, 2) Surface modification, 3) Briggs-Rauscher reaction, and 4) Polymer synthesis and characterization. After the safety guideline and experiment instructions by the faculty staffs, two teaching assistants (TAs) supervised each experiment. Since taking a direct part in it will provide stronger impact than only being one who is just watching the experiment, all experiments contained some process that the high school students must handle the reagents, tools or the equipment, by themselves. Although, the operation performed by the students was limited to a series of simple actions, the various unique phenomena presented by the experiments impressed the students. The lab class was fruitful not only for high school students, but also good for university students. The lab class provided good opportunity for them to improve the abilities to teach and guide someone.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally but has an even more significant impact in developing countries. Pakistan has the highest prevalence among Asian countries. A general lack of public awareness regarding the disease often results in late diagnosis and poor treatment outcomes. The literacy rate of the Southern Punjab (Pakistan) is low compared to its Northern part. It is therefore vital that university students and especially medical students develop a sound knowledge about the disease so that they can spread awareness to others who may be less educated. This study therefore considers current knowledge and understanding about the early signs of breast cancer amongst a study group of medical and non-medical university students of the Southern Punjab, Pakistan. A cross-sectional descriptive analysis of the university students was carried out using a self-administered questionnaire to assess their awareness of breast cancer from March to May 2014. A total of 566 students participated in this study, out of which 326 were non-medical and 240 were from a medical discipline. Statistical analysis was carried out using Graph Pad Prism Version 5 with a significance level set at p<0.05. The mean age of the non medical and medical participants was 23 (SD 2.1) and 22 (SD 1.3) years, respectively. Less than 35% students were aware of the early warning signs of the breast cancer development. Knowledge of medical students about risk factors was significantly better than the non medical ones, but on the whole was insufficient. Our study indicated that knowledge regarding breast cancer was generally insufficient amongst the majority of the university students (75% non-medical and 55% medical) of Southern Punjab, Pakistan. This study highlights the need to formulate an awareness campaign and to organize conferences to promote breast cancer awareness among students in this region.

대학에서는 취업에 대한 부담을 완화시키고, 경제발전을 촉진할 수 있는 혁신창업인재를 양성하기 위하여 대학생의 창업교육을 중시하고 있다. 중국은 "대중창업, 만인혁신"을 배경으로 대학생들에게 기업가 정신교육에 큰 비중을 두고 있지만, 실제 창업 성공률이 높지 않은 것은 창업능력의 부족에 기인한 것이다. 이에 본 논문은 중국 길림대학에서 창업한 대학생들을 탐방대상으로 선정하였고, 이들에 대한 심층면접을 통하여 얻은 자료를 질적 연구방법인 귀납적 토대이론에 근거하여, 대학생들의 창업능력의 함축성에 대한 요소분석을 하였다. 이를 통하여 창업능력의 개념모형을 혁신적으로 제시하였다. 연구결과로는 대학생의 창업능력에는 창업 추진력, 관리능력, 창업 재능과 잠재 능력으로 구성되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문은 대학에서 창업 성공률을 높일 수 있는 창업교육을 실시하는데 지침적 의미가 있는 연구이다.

A binary integer programming model is proposed for a complex timetabling problem in a university faculty which conducts various degree programs. The decision variables are defined with fewer dimensions to economize the model size of large scale problems and to improve modeling efficiency. Binary matrices are used to incorporate the relationships between the courses and students, and the courses and teachers. The model includes generally applicable constraints such as completeness, uniqueness, and consecutiveness; and case specific constraints. The model was coded and solved using Open Solver which is an open-source optimizer available as an Excel add-in. The results indicate that complicated timetabling problems with large numbers of courses and student groups can be formulated more efficiently with fewer numbers of variables and constraints using the proposed modeling framework. The model could effectively generate timetables with a significantly lower number of work hours per week compared to currently used timetables. The model results indicate that the particular timetabling problem is bounded by the student overlaps, and both human and physical resource constraints are insignificant.

21세기 지식 정보사회에서는 학생의 정보소양 교육은 물론 정보 활용능력의 증진이 매우 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 학습의욕과 이해도가 다소 떨어지는 공업계 고등학생들을 대상으로 전문교과의 수업에 ICT 활용교육을 연계하여 교수-학습 모형을 개발하고 적용시켜 그 효율성을 검증하고 적용해 보았다. 본 논문에서는 ICT를 활용하여 공업계 고등학교 전문과목에 적합한 교수-학습모형을 개발함과 동시에 적용하여 그 사례를 분석하고 고찰하였다. 학생들이 학습에 대한 성취감 및 자신의 능력을 확인하도록 함으로써 학습관 심도를 높이고 지속적인 교수-학습 활동이 이루어질 수 있도록 하는 교수 학습 모형인 LT&T를 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 LT&T 교수 학습 모형은 협동 학습 모형의 하나인 LT에 토너먼트 형성 평가를 결합한 모형으로서 개개인의 다양한 인지적 능력을 향상시킬 뿐만 아니라 수업에 대한 흥미를 유발하여 학습효과가 높은 것으로 조사되었다. LT 학습 모형과 LT&T 학습 모형 각각을 이용하여 수업을 실시하고 설문을 조사하여 결과를 분석한 결과 LT&T 학습 모형을 이용한 수업의 학습 효과가 LT 학습 모형을 이용한 수업 효과 보다 좋았다는 의견이 80% 이상 나타나 제안한 LT&T 학습 모형의 학습효과가 높다는 결과를 보여 주었다.

At a time when mathematics is becoming more important in our everyday lives and more relevant in applications in industry and the emerging technologies, there are signs of a decrease in numbers of students and their interest in the subject. Teachers must be encouraged to take a new approach to generating enthusiasm amongst students by showing them that mathematics is an integral part of the future. To achieve this, opportunities for renewal of teachers' knowledge and updating of skills should be made available. In this paper, emphasis is placed on mathematics in the real world and how it can be used to develop the more general skills such as self-teaching and communication which are an essential part of preparation for entry into higher education or the workplace.

E-learning systems have proliferated in recent years, particularly in the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic. For kids, there isn't a specific online learning platform available, though. To do this, new conceptual models of training and learning software that are adapted to the abilities and preferences of end users must be created. Young pupils: those in kindergarten, preschool, and elementary school are unique subjects with little research history. From the standpoint of software technology, young students who have never had access to a computer system are regarded as specific users with high expectations for the functionality and interface of the software, social network connectivity, and instantaneous Internet communication. In this study, we suggested creating an electronic learning management system that is web-based and appropriate for primary school pupils. User-centered design is the fundamental technique that was applied in the development of the system that we are proposing. Test findings have demonstrated that students who are using the digital environment for the first time are studying more effectively thanks to the online learning management system.

본 연구는 대학의 학부 학생들에게 자율적인 연구 기회를 제공하기 위하여 운영하고 있는 학생연구프로그램의 성과를 점검하고 교육적 효과를 분석하기 위하여 수행되었다. 학생연구프로그램은 학생이 주도적으로 자율적이고 책임 있는 학습을 할 수 있는 기회를 제공하고 이를 대학의 교과과정을 개선하기 위한 목적으로 개발되었다. 본 연구는 서울대학교가 2003학년도부터 2009학년도까지 83명의 학부생을 참여시켜 수행한 프로그램의 성과를 평가하기 위하여 참여자들을 대상으로 설문조사와 심층 면담을 실시한 결과들이다. 참여자들은 본 프로그램에 참여하면서 자율적 탐구 능력 및 문제해결 능력의 함양, 학문 영역을 넘어선 다양한 전공의 경험, 진로 선택에 영향을 받았다고 응답하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 대학에서 교육 개선을 위한 새로운 교과과정의 틀을 마련하는 데 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
