  • This study proposes a new educational approach to basic engineering education using reverse-engineering. A freshmen level engineering coursework provided by the University, 'Engineering Design', is to deliver the understanding of the general relationship between their major and its adjacent engineering fields. Students are to understand the identity of their major fields through this effort. There are some limitations, however, to achieving these educational objectives by providing lectures in a classroom environment or practical experience because of the broad nature of the subject. A new educational approach on 'Engineering Design' has been implemented for past five years to achieve this goal using reverse-engineering techniques and this paper describes it in detail.

  • EasySoft(이하:ES)는 컴퓨터를 처음 배우는 초급자에서부터 프로그래밍 가능자에 이르기까지 다양한 범위의 학습자에게 통합 교과적인 지식을 토대로 알고리즘 교육을 제공하여, 창의성과 논리성 계발의 효과를 거둘 수 있도록 만들어진 학습기자재이다. ES는 EasyLab, EasyC, Visual Basic과 같이 ActiveX를 지원하는 툴과 연동하여 사용한 수 있는 ActiveX 제어도구(EasyOCX)로 구성되어 있다. 학습자는 ES를 통하여 자신의 생각을 구성, 알고리즘화 시켜 프로그래밍하고 코드를 로봇으로 전송하여, 로봇의 움직임과 자신의 의도를 비교, 연구, 반복하는 작업으로 학습하게 된다. ES는 학습기자재가 부족한 교실현장에서 직접 활용할 수 있도록 구성된 것으로, 흥미적 요소와 교육적 요소를 적절하게 조화 시킨 소프트웨어이다. EasyLab은 컴퓨터를 모르는 학습자도 알기쉬운 GUI식 흐름도 기반 S/W를 표방하므로 초등학교에서, EasyOCX나 EasyC의 경우는 EasyLab과 유사한 방식을 추구하되 직접 프로그래밍 하게 되어있어 한 단계 높은 중 고등학교의 교수장면에서 직접 활용이 가능하다.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the nutritional knowledge and eating behavior of elementary school senior students in Incheon area and to develope education program appropriate for them. Questionnaire was developed and distributed to 551 fifth and sixth grade students of fourteen elementary schools in Incheon area. The data was analyzed using ANOVA. According to the results on nutritional knowledge and attitude, senior students were aware of major sources of some nutrients, but didn't seemed to know about the role of some nutrients. Nevertheless, it was favorable that they took various food from major food groups. But the proportion of students skipping breakfast and taking instant food was high. Their table etiquette was not good at home, but attitude for food hygiene was comparatively good. They recognized Korean traditional food more nutritious than fast food. Even though they understood what was right for eating behavior, they didn't practice it correctly. From these results, it seemed that follow-up study or intervention is necessary to improve nutritional knowledge and eating behavior of the students. Qualified teachers, nutrition specialists, are required in order to develop and apply systematic nutrition education program for correcting inappropriate eating behavior of the students. Furthermore, nutrition education for their parents will be more effective.

  • This formative evaluation study presents a professional development program, "Earth Science Systems for Teachers (ESST)" held in a Midwest State in the United States. This study investigates how a professional development for urban teachers affects the teacher participants' perceptions of using the urban environment for their science teaching and their lesson unit development. The purpose of the program was to help urban teachers create science units using the urban geologic environment and its connection to urban students' everyday lives. The participant teachers' daily journal entries during the program, their lesson plans before and after the program, as well as their teaching reflections were collected as major data source. The teachers' daily journal entries were analyzed qualitatively and their pre-post lessons were analyzed quantitatively using a lesson plan analysis tool, Culturally Relevant Science Teaching Perspectives (CRSTP) was developed by the author. The lesson analysis tool was used to assess teachers' science lesson plans in the perspective of culturally relevant pedagogy and place-based pedagogy. The major findings include: 1) The teacher participants' field experiences in urban geologic sites and urban environments help the teachers to change their perceptions of using the urban environment as a teaching resource and 2) there were significant differences in their pre and post lesson unit scores based on CRSTP (P<. 01). The implications of this study are also discussed.

  • As animation industry continues to evolve in China, the demand for excellent manpower is on the increase. However, there is a difficulty in cultivating practical talents because many colleges and universities in China do not have the systematized animation education. This study compares the curriculum for animation major in Korea and China in order to find out the major problems and the improvement plans of animation education in China. It was shown that the curriculum in China mainly consisted of the subjects to learn technical skills and lacked the subjects to enhance students' creativity. Especially, universities in China did not offer the practice environment in which students apply and utilize what they learned. As a result, students had less opportunity to experience creative process of making animation. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to make the balanced basic curriculum, link the practice courses with the creativity courses, develop the specialized learning methods and provide the training opportunities through industry-university cooperation. The results of this study suggest that good quality animation education is an important element for universities and animation industry to continue to prosper together.

  • The purposes of the study is to see as to how much of changes has occurred in the newly revised Home Economics Textbooks required by the 6th Curriculum as compared to those by the former the 5th Curriculum, and to seek future policy directions which can be improved even better, if any, for further revision. To implement this proposal, the study employs 8 different textbooks published in 1997 geared for the 6th Curriculum for data base. The components of the contents divides into two major parts. The first part falls into a category of holistic analysis of the textbooks, which gives a general perspective of the changes in the textbook revised. It includes those areas of changes in the total number of pages, cover page, illustrations, table of contents, appendices, unit cover, introductory remarks, summary and evaluation, etc. It also covers the information on authors of textbook. The latter part consists of several specific areas of major changes occurred in the textbooks for the 6th Curriculum. It covers such areas of changes in the composition of category and its weight, laboratory experiences, and illustrations and tables. To conclude the study, among many findings, two major points are of great importance to mention here. First, the new textbooks have adopted more of varieties in physical appearances and contents per se as to the older ones. And yet, there still found a weakness in numbers of authors participated to a full reflection of contents variety. In addition, the background of authors reflected on an unrealistic idealism which lacks the on-site information provided by the school teachers. Second, the strict regulations created by the Ministry of Education for developing textbook found restricting the authors creativity and thus contents variety of textbooks. Those restricting factors include letter type and size, coloring, paper quality, and volume size.
