We discuss the effect of ability grouping calculus courses based upon student's proficiency of the subject and their collective examination of midterms and finals among mid-level and low-level classes. We assess incoming freshmen at Seoul National University of Technology(SNUT) of their proficiency in calculus and assign them to the appropriate levels within the course(i.e., high-level, mid-level, low-level). We found that this was beneficial to both students and instructors. Instructors can easily determine the pace in which each class should be kept, and students can quickly adapt to the learning environment.

This study examined the effects of previewing and providing background knowledge on low level EFL readers' comprehension of expository texts and their responses to these treatments. 130 college freshmen were randomly placed into one of three treatment groups and read two expository texts reflecting unfamiliar cultural information. Prior to reading, one group was given previewing instruction, which included vocabulary preteaching and summaries, and a second group was provided with culture-specific background knowledge through watching videos and slides. The third group read each text without any prereading instruction. Immediately after reading a passage, subjects answered a 10-item multiple-choice test. Results showed significant positive effects of the previewing treatment and weak positive effects of the providing background knowledge treatment. Students' responses on the questionnaires revealed that the majority felt that the experimental treatments contributed to comprehension enhancement, made reading more enjoyable, and expedited their reading process. Students in the control group, however, indicated that they needed explicit prereading instruction in order to understand the texts. Pedagogical implications of the findings for EFL reading instruction are provided.

제7차 컴퓨터 교육과정에 대한 많은 논란과 개선방안이 제기되어 왔지만 경험한 교육과정을 대상으로 성취수준에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 2005년도에 대학 신입생을 대상으로 실행했던 컴퓨터 소양 교육과정을 개선하기 위하여 2005년도와 2006년도의 신입생을 대상으로 연차별로 컴퓨터 소양과 활용수준 그리고 양 집단간의 수준 차이를 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 2005년도에 개발된 설문지 사용하여 각 학기가 시작되는 시점에서 학생들의 응답을 분석하였다. 설문자료를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 두 집단 모두 다섯가지의 영역에서 영역간의 수준의 차이가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 컴퓨터통신, 기초기능 그리고 정보윤리 보통 이상의 수준을 보였으며, 반면에 기초지식과 소프트웨어 활용 영역에서 보통 이하의 수준으로 나타났다. 두 집단간의 연차별 수준 차이는 거의 없는 것으로 보였다. 컴퓨터통신과 정보윤리 영역에서 미미하나마 2005년도에 비하여 평균이 약간 증가하였으며, 나머지 세 개의 소프트웨어 활용과 기초지식 및 기초기능 영역에서는 각각의 평균이 0.05 이하의 차이를 보이고 있다. 대학 신입생의 컴퓨터 소양교육을 위한 두 집단간의 연차별 선수 지식의 수준차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to find job maturity of dental technology students in Taegu area. In order to accomplish the objectives stated above, the following research methods were utilized : 1. The related literatures including previous studies and journal were reviewed to develop the questionnaire for this purpose. 2. Field survey and questionnaire survey were conducted to collect data from 360 students sampled and analyzed by frequency percentage $X^2$-score. In consquence of analysis of the responses, the finding were as follows : 1. The job maturity of students was shown high. The grade point of 98.6 percent students as a whole was above three point. 2. As compared by academic year of sophomore students was higher than that of freshmen's, and male students were shown greater score than female students.

Thirty six EFL freshman students at the College of Languages and Translation, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were given a dictation, a listening comprehension test and a decoding test. The purpose of the study was to find out whether EFL freshmen students' spelling ability correlates with their listening comprehension and decoding skills. Data analysis showed that the typical EFL freshman student misspelled 41.5% of the words on the dictation, gave 49.5% correct responses on the listening comprehension test, and 52% correct responses on the decoding test. The median and mean scores showed that the subjects' spelling, listening and decoding achievement is low, which implied that the subjects were having spelling, listening comprehension and decoding difficulties. The students' spelling errors and correct listening comprehension and decoding responses revealed strong correlations between spelling ability, listening comprehension and decoding skills. This means that good spelling ability in EFL is related to good listening comprehension and good decoding skills. The better the listening comprehension and decoding abilities, the fewer the spelling errors. When listening comprehension and decoding skills are poor, spelling ability is also poor. Recommendations for spelling, listening and decoding instruction are given.

This thesis progressed research on the improvements of NCS multimedia utilization for preliminary teachers. A national module has not been developed yet in terms of child education, so this thesis suggests a curriculum according to the courses taught for freshmen and sophomores of K University Child Education majors. To lessen the burden of tremendous work and classes, provide motivation and interest in learning and maximize the effect, this thesis provides NCS based curriculum. It expects to improve task performance of teachers and help them with better skills to make class materials using up-to-date multimedia, regardless of the computer literacy of preliminary teachers. This thesis does prior research on the abilities to make use of computers and understand the level of computer literacy. Then it suggests NCS based curriculum goals and its performance standards to utilize task-suitable software. It aims to enable efficient multimedia usage, and optimize the learning efficiency of education linked to Nuri precesses.

This study investigated the relationships among college students' internalizing/externalizing problems, parent-child communication, and college adjustment. The participants were 281 freshmen and sophomores (103 males and 178 females) from a university in Gyeongbuk Province. A self-report survey questionnaire was used to measure parent-child communication, adjustment to college life, and the student's internalizing/externalizing problems. Data were analyzed by t-test, and single and multiple regressions. The results were as follows: (1) The college students' communication with parents was negatively associated with their internalizing/externalizing problems. (2) The college students' communication with parents was positively associated with adjustment to college life. (3) The students' adjustment to college life was negatively associated with their internalizing/externalizing problems. (4) The college students' communication with parents partly or fully exerted indirect effects on the students' internalizing/externalizing problems, mediated by their adjustment to college life.

The object of this study is to explore the attitudes of occupational therapy students and "general students" (who study in different areas other than occupational therapy) towards people with disabilities, and to examine the causing factors of positive and negative attitudes toward people with disabilities by using Disability Factor Scales (DFS). According to the result of the study using the Disability Factor Scales (DFS), it indicates that the attitudes of the occupational therapy students were more positive than those of "general students" from other departments. In the case of score differences among occupational therapy students by class standing, seniors who experienced clinical practice showed a less favorable attitude toward the disabled than freshmen, so it is necessary to develop clinical practice and an occupational therapy curricula that incorporate patient-centered treatment rather than therapist-centered education with simple physical contact or illness problems.

The central purpose of the current research is to identify how 12-week bodybuilding exercise affects muscle dysmorphia. The research subjects consisted of an experimental group and a control group, each with 16 freshmen at college. MDI(muscle dysmorphic inventory), developed by Schlundt, Woodford, Brownlee(2000) was utilized to collect relevant data, which was analyzed by PASW 18.0. An independent two sample t-test was conducted to see whether there exists any significant difference between the two groups in the pre- and the post-tests. A paired t-test, in turn, was performed to identify whether there is any difference between the two tests for each group. The statistical significance level was set at p<.05. It was found that the experimental group marked a higher level of muscle dysmorphia than the control group in the pre-test. It was also found that muscle dysmorphia of the experimental group increased in the post-test, while no significant difference was manifested in the control group in the post-test.
