  • Improving the design ability of idea developing and creative problem solving should be started from the primary school. Design education in the primary school should be not education for design but education by design. It helps students can naturally understand the basic concept of design and experience the process of activities. Therefore primary educational circle use the term of 'Design-related activities', or 'Design-Based Education'. It can be applied to variable themes of mathematics, science, music, society as well as Art. On the Basis of these literature review, the traditional design education as a part of the art education is analyzed in two aspects of its contents and behaviors. The contents in design education involve aesthetic·symbolic, useful·functional, and scientific·technological area. And, the basic design behaviors are classified with 'know', 'perceive', 'inquire', and so on. This concept becomes the analytic frame of the present condition of design education in Korean primary school. Through the analysis, it is found that the portion of scientific·technological area in contents and 'inquire' related behaviors are relatively very low. Also, the planning and teaching methods for leading children's opportunity of creative expression are found inadequate. This study proposes the potential capability and the integrative contents of design education in primary school.

  • Providing gifted education should be based on the principle of differentiation, that is, paying close attention to the individual characteristics of the gifted. The gifted are known to be the fast learners with autonomous studying ability and high levels of thinking and creativity, which certainly differentiate them from the ordinary others. Thus, the program for the gifted should fundamentally differ from other general programs. The need for gifted education is growing as our society has turned into the knowledge-based society. Fortunately, on December 28th, 1999, a law in favor of gifted education was passed. According to the law, gifted education will be actively provided under the government's support from the year 2002. In this context, this study is intended to search for the model of developing instructional materials for the gifted. The output materials of this study are to be used in gifted schools which will be built in the near future. The curriculum for the gifted consists of three parts: basic curriculum, in-depth curriculum, and optional curriculum. The learning and instructional materials developed in this study are to be used for the in-depth curriculum. In order to develop the materials, various theoretical models related to gifted education were reviewed. Finally, a theoretical model was developed. On the basis of the model, several instructional materials are developed and the possibility of application are considered.

  • It is necessary, due to changes in the information environment, to investigate problems in existing information retrieval systems. Ontologies and social tagging, which are a relatively new means of information organization, enable exploratory discovery of information. These two connect a thought of a user with the thoughts of numerous other people on the Internet. With these connection chains through the interactions, users are foraging information actively and exploratively. Thus, the purpose of this study is, through qualitative research methods, to identify numerous discovery facilitators provided by ontologies and social tagging, and to create an exploratory discovery model based on them. The results show that there are three uppermost categories in which 5, 4 and 4 subcategories are enumerated respectively. The first category, 'Browsing and Monitoring,' has 5 sub categories: Noticing the Needs, Being Aware, Perceiving, Stopping, and Examining a Resource. The second category, Actively Participating, has 4 categories: Constructing Meaning, Social Bookmarking and Tagging, Sharing on Social Networking, Specifying the Original Needs. The third category, Actively Extends Thinking, also has 4 categories: Social Learning, Emerging Fortuitous Discovery, Creative Thinking, Enhancing Problem Solving Abilities. This model could contribute to the design of information systems, which enhance the ability of exploratory discovery.

  • It has been 16 years since the government announced its first Ocean Education Policy in 2005. Although the public consensus on the importance of ocean education has been formed, it is impossible to objectively analyze the impact of the policy on the society or the economy. The aim of this paper was to identify differences in perceptions and behaviors about the ocean between groups participating in ocean education and non-participating groups and to analyze the effectiveness of ocean education by developing measurement indicators for the value that individuals gave to ocean education services. To conduct this study, first, the value of ocean education was defined and value items that could be provided to individuals were classified. Second, to develop indicators that could measure classified value items, a Delphi survey was conducted to collect opinions of various experts. Third, by measuring the content validity ratio (CVR) for each item, final indicators and questionnaire were derived. As a result of Delphi analysis, 18 items with a CVR value of 0.6 or higher were finally adopted out of 32 indicator items. In the cognitive value category, indicators that could identify an individual's level of knowledge of the ocean, change in perception, and problem-solving ability were selected. In the behavioral value category, indicators were expanded to judge changes in attitudes and relationships toward the ocean and responsible behavior in more detail. This study is meaningful in that it provides the basis for directly judging the value of ocean education service provided by the government to the people. Results of such analysis are expected to contribute to securing a stable budget and the justification for expanding human resources in the government's continuous promotion of ocean education policies.

  • The development of AI technology has brought about a big change in our lives. The importance of AI and data education is also growing as AI's influence from life to society to the economy grows. In response, the OECD Education Research Report and various domestic information and curriculum studies deal with data literacy and present it as an essential competency. However, the definition of data literacy and the content and scope of the components vary among researchers. Thus, we analyze the semantic similarity of words through Word2Vec deep learning natural language processing methods along with the definitions of key data literacy studies and analysis of word frequency utilized in components, to present objective and comprehensive definition and components. It was revised and supplemented by expert review, and we defined data literacy as the 'basic ability of knowledge construction and communication to collect, analyze, and use data and process it as information for problem solving'. Furthermore we propose the components of each category of knowledge, skills, values and attitudes. We hope that the definition and components of data literacy derived from this study will serve as a good foundation for the systematization and education research of AI education related to students' future competency.

  • In this paper, an improved integrated security control procedure is newly proposed by applying artificial intelligence technology to integrated security control and unifying the existing security control and AI security control response procedures. Current cyber security control is highly dependent on the level of human ability. In other words, it is practically unreasonable to analyze various logs generated by people from different types of equipment and analyze and process all of the security events that are rapidly increasing. And, the signature-based security equipment that detects by matching a string and a pattern has insufficient functions to accurately detect advanced and advanced cyberattacks such as APT (Advanced Persistent Threat). As one way to solve these pending problems, the artificial intelligence technology of supervised and unsupervised learning is applied to the detection and analysis of cyber attacks, and through this, the analysis of logs and events that occur innumerable times is automated and intelligent through this. The level of response has been raised in the overall aspect by making it possible to predict and block the continuous occurrence of cyberattacks. And after applying AI security control technology, an improved integrated security control service model was newly proposed by integrating and solving the problem of overlapping detection of AI and SIEM into a unified breach response process(procedure).
