  • The purposes of this study are to analyze elementary school student's intuitive thinking in the process of mathematical problem solving and to analyze elementary school student's errors of intuitive thinking in the process of mathematical problem solving. According to these purposes, the research questions can be set up as followings. (1) How is the state of illumination of the elementary school student's intuitive thinking in the process of mathematical problem solving? (2) What are origins of errors by elementary school student's intuitive thinking in the process of mathematical problem solving? In this study, Bogdan & Biklen's qualitative research method were used. The subjects in this study were 4 students who were attending the elementary school. The data in this study were 'Intuitine Thinking Test', records of observation and interview. In the interview, the discourses were recorded by sound and video recording. These were later transcribed and analyzed in detail. The findings of this study were as follows: First, If Elementary school student Knows the algorithm of problem, they rely on solving by algorithm rather than solving by intuitive thinking. Second, their problem solving ability by intuitive model are low. What is more they solve the problem by Intuitive model, their Self- Evidence is low. Third, in the process of solving the problem, intuitive thinking can complement logical thinking. Last, in the concept of probability and problem of probability, they are led into cognitive conflict cause of subjective interpretation.

  • Chemometrics using near-infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopy have found significant uses in a variety quantitative and qualitative analyses of pharmaceutical products in complex matrixes. Most of the pharmaceutical can be measured directly with little or no sample preparation using these spectroscopic methods. During pharmaceutical manufacturing process, analytical techniques with no or less sample preparation are very critical to confirm the quality. This study showed NIR and Raman spectroscopy with principal component analysis (PCA) was very effective for the blending processing control. It is of utmost importance to evaluate critical parameters related to quality of products during pharmaceutical processing. The blending is confirmed by off-line determination of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) by a conventional method such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and UV spectroscopy. These analytical methods are time-consuming and ineffective for real time control. This study showed the possibility for the determination of blend uniformity end-point of CR tablets with the use of both NIR and Raman spectroscopy. The samples were acquired from six positions during blending processing with U-type blender from 0 to 30 min. Using both collected NIR and Raman spectral data, principal component analysis (PCA) was used to follow the uniformity of blending and finally determine the end-point. The variation of homogeneity of six samples during blending was clearly found and blend uniformity end-point was successfully confirmed in the domains of principal component (PC) scores.

  • This study attempted to examine how sexually abused women with intellectual disability living in residential care facilities interact with their environment, such as personal life, family and communities, and to identify contextual characteristics and needs of these women. Qualitative case study method was adopted, and data was collected through individual and intake interviews, participant observation and a survey with 11 participants residing in a residential care facility for sexually abused women with intellectual disability. The results showed that participants struggled with stresses and emotional instability affected by traumatic experiences of sexual abuse. Family was a system that sexual abused took place, while the systems of residential facilities protected them from potential dangers and violence. Work and school systems also provided them opportunities of learning and having dreams in the future. However, the community system which participants would live after discharging from the facility, had risk factors vulnerable to sexual violence against participants. In conclusion, this study suggested diverse services and programs, such as professional psychotherapy programs, integrated support programs for victim and their families and provision of professional care facilities.

  • In Korea, the size of the private security industry has grown rapidly since the enactment of the Security Business Act in 1976. Unfortunately, the quantitative development has not been accompanied by the comparable qualities, and this shortcoming can be attributed to different unethical incidents caused by the private security officers. This study examined the causal relationship between the organizational characteristics according to the organizational ethics and the organizational citizenship behavior to provide suggestions to promote the ethics of the private security officers, and ultimately play the role of a theoretical foundation for the qualitative advancement of the industry. Private security officers in Seoul and the Gyeonggi province in Korea were studied by using the purposive sampling method and the following results were obtained. First, except for the altruism factor, the levels of organizational ethics perceptions and organizational citizenship behavior of the subjects were relatively high. Moreover, organizational characteristics had a positive partial effect on organizational ethics and organizational citizenship behavior. Furthermore, organizational ethics partially affected organizational citizenship behavior in a positive way, and organizational ethics had a partial mediation effect between organizational characteristics and organizational citizenship behavior. With the results of the analyses, development and management of the ethics training and programs and promoting the ethics among the executives were recommended as a future direction.

  • Objectives : The aim of this study was to identify the trend of school health research by analyzing articles related to school health for the last 10 years. this information can be used to guide research direction for the future. Methods : This study is a descriptive study that analyzed annual data. using an objective frame of evaluation about the methodology and research domain in each paper, all the papers included in the journals concerning school health from January 1993 to December 2000 were analyzed. The data was processed statistically by frequency and percentage. Results : 455 papers in 9 journals related to school health were published. The Journal of the Korean Society of School Health had 204 articles, the highest number of any journal. most of the articles were descriptive, but the number of experimental studies increased over time. the most common research subjects were students were the greatest ones, but the trend to study both parents and teachers increased near the end of the sampling period. the most common selection of subjects appeared to be based on convenience, but probability sampling gradually increasing annually. the most common research instrument was the questionnaire and the reliability and the validity of instruments were described in approximately half of the studies. The survey was the most commonly used method of data collection. The papers that met ethical issue in data collection were less than those that did not. In addition, the papers that provided the rationale for the calculation of sample size were less than those that did not. parametric statistics were the main methods of data analysis, but some advanced statistics were used more often than simple descriptive statistics in the latter part of the sampling period. In general, limit of the studies were not frequently mentioned but more recommendations were made. regarding the characteristics of the research area, the assesment domain was remarkable. The rate of school health problem assesment was the highest among research subjects. Sex- related subjects were the highest in detail research subjects. Conclusions : The research of school health has increased quantitatively, but it is difficult to ascertain its qualitative development. Therefore, on the basis of the research completed up until now, more school-based intervention studies and longitudinal studies need to be another target for the evaluation of the effects of the school health service. as well, policy suggestion through international and cross-sectional comparison studies are needed to assist in the establishment of the long term direction of school health.

  • The social impact of science and technology is increasing, the meaning of technology assessment is not small in modern society, Specially, the technology assesment(TA) has been institutionalized and performed by Korean administration and its official results has reflected directly in the S&T policy. Therefore, the technology assesment is a device that prepare the negative effects of S&T and the social controversy in advance. To select the target technology of technology assessment will be done carefully in various perspective and concerned with the characteristics of technology assessment emphasizing social assessment, the institutional system of selecting one technology in each year and the contents and methods of evaluation that are determined in accordance with technology characteristics. However, the method of selecting target technology in TA is mostly peformed by qualitative discussion and vote rather than by reflecting various opinion and understanding TA until now. In this paper, we developed the indicator has to be considered to select target technology for TA by using factor analysis. Developed indicator is consist of five factor, such as the need for social consensus and the size of social/cultural impact etc., and we weight each factor by using Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP). Futhermore, we show the example how to applicate directly these indicator and weights to select target technology and suggest institutional application in TA. Though using developed indicator in this paper, we expect to select appropriate technology for institutional TA and the application of TA results in society and public policy can be strengthened.

  • For effective water quality management, it is necessary to secure reliable water quality information. There are many variables that need to be included in a comprehensive practical monitoring network : representative sampling locations, suitable sampling frequencies, water quality variable selection, and budgetary and logistical constraints are examples, especially sampling location is considered to be the most important issues. Until now, monitoring network design for water quality management was set according to the qualitative judgments, which is a problem of representativeness. In this paper, we propose network design system for optimal water quality monitoring using the scientific statistical techniques. Network design system is made based on the SAS program of version 9.2 and configured with simple input system and user friendly outputs considering the convenience of users. It applies to Excel data format for ease to use and all data of sampling location is distinguished to sheet base. In this system, time plots, dendrogram, and scatter plots are shown as follows: Time plots of water quality variables are graphed for identifying variables to classify sampling locations significantly. Similarities of sampling locations are calculated using euclidean distances of principal component variables and dimension coordinate of multidimensional scaling method are calculated and dendrogram by clustering analysis is represented and used for users to choose an appropriate number of clusters. Scatter plots of principle component variables are shown for clustering information with sampling locations and representative location.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop the brain compatibility index equation for the brain-based analysis method of science teaching-learning program. To develop the index equation, one sample unit in middle school science programs was selected and analyzed by the brain-based analysis frame (CORE Brain Map). Then, the index equation was derived by the CORE Brain Map. In addition, four sample units in elementary science programs were selected to validate the brain compatibleness index equation. From the random network theory of Erdos and Renyi, this study derived the brain compatibility index equation; (BCI=$\frac{L_o}{11(N_o-1)}{\cdot}{\sum}\limits_{i=1}^4l_iw_i$) for quantitative analysis of science teaching-learning program. With this equation, this study could find the quantitative difference among the teaching-learning programs through the unit and curriculum. Brain-based analysis methods for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of science teaching-learning program, which was developed in this study is expected, to be a useful application to analyze and diagnose various science teaching-learning programs.

  • Recently many research reports on effective use of mobile devices for museums to provide information on displayed artifacts providing individualized learning space, collaborative learning, and discovery learning, Such devices have many possibilities to support learning as a participatory media and social network. Mobile devices are used, however, limited for its usability and lack in providing expected learning experiences. It offers one-way interaction and they are often limited in providing customized services for different patrons to experience learning and entertainment. In this research, we have adopted user centered design approach to identify the needs and possible usage of PDA system in the museum. Research methods include contextual observation and inquiry with symbolic interactionism for qualitative research and its epistemology. We have developed conceptual model with scenario and storyboard method, and developed vertical prototype with Flash.
