Since 1971, the aptitude test for domestic train drivers has been long maintained. With the revision of the Railroad Safety Act in 2006, the aptitude test was changed from the type of written and skill test into the type of question-and-answer and reaction test. However, the main structure of the test was not changed. In this paper, we focus our attention on the improvement of the present aptitude test. We surveyed on two groups, one is the railroad expert group and another is train driver's group, questioning about the importance of the domestic and foreign aptitude test items. Based on the analysis, we suggest desirable aptitude test system for the railroad safety.

A sample of 322 18-month-old infants and their mothers were assessed longitudinally at 24 and 30 months. Maternal utterances and styles of linguistic interaction were measured during a 10 minute free play session. Mothers completed a vocabulary checklist for infants. Longitudinal data were analyzed by multilevel modeling. Results indicated that vocabulary increased with age of infants and the growth rate was highly predictable by the size of vocabulary at 18 months. The growth rate was strongly influenced by maternal questioning and feedback. The effect of the maternal linguistic input was constant with age. Gender differences in size of vocabulary did not vary systematically with age.

The paper is oriented towards a reflection on the epistemological extension of world history. This discipline is currently opening up for new subjects and new foci of interest, with environmental history being one of them. The paper debates the interaction between the global and the local as one of the main issues of world history. It analyses the impacts of the interconnectivity of diverse regions as well as different geographical and cultural complexes, during the period between 1500 and 1800. Assuming that the sea in its economic, cultural and environmental dimensions contributed actively to world history, and is, in itself, a major factor of globalization, the paper intends to highlight interdependencies which fostered connections between the local and the global. It further submits to discussion which was the impact of an on-going globalization process, based on maritime dynamics, on the environment. Through an analysis centered on the impact of European overseas expansion, some environmental impacts will be analyzed. The paper aims at questioning environmental history as an emergent theme of world history, based on the historical experience of connecting worlds developed in the First Global Age (1500-1800).

In this study, we apply the discovery method in the instruction of Permutation and Combination, and examine the effect upon the student's emotion after the instruction change. The research progressed through the instruction by the discovery method for two students of highschool Y. This research has been done for about one and half year from November 2006 to February 2008. We draw our research results through a series of processes consisted of videotaping a classroom activities, recording interview details and writing an observation diary, with the aim of the experimental instruction. In the end, we get to the conclusion that students showed a strong positive attitude on the discovery instructional method and that diverse discovery method has supplementary relation in classwork.

This study was performed to phenomenologically look into residential behaviors from the standpoint of human housing environment experiences, rather than physical environment, aiming to examine the emotional implication of housing environment by finding human mental motives included in memorable adolescent experiences into housing environment. In this study, an analysis on an environment life story was used to describe both the behaviors and spaces of significantly memorable experiences into housing environment. In addition, this study was carried out by analysing the emotional implication of descriptions selected from respondents' answers. A questionnaire survey was performed by questioning the students of D university about their significantly memorable adolescent experience in housing environment from the 4th to 15th of June 2007. Statistic date was analysed using the SPSS 14.0 Program.

This research starts from the questioning of current housing development situation on hilly sites in Korea. It aims to investigate various design techniques of row-rise housing as an alternative housing type on hilly sites. Several generic solutions are proposed by considering the density of dwelling, parking plans, exterior space and access patterns, making full use of geographical features of hilly site and existing facilities. In order to promote development feasibility of proposed plans, the efficiency of the proposed techniques are verified in terms of development density, enhancement of community space, habitability of housing.

학생의 물리 개념 변화가 어려운 이유들 중의 하나는 학습자가 자신의 상태를 명확히 인식하지 못함으로써 자신이나 타인으로부터 되먹임을 받을 수 없다는 것이다. 본 논문은 학생이 자신의 학습 내용 이해 상태 또는 개념적 상태를 명확히 파악하여 드러내도록 하는 인지 방략적 질문 모형을 구안하고 이것이 고등 학생의 열과 온도의 개념 변화에 있어서 어떠한 역할을 할 수 있는가를 분석한 것이다. 이를 위하여 일반계 고등 학교 2학년 152명을 하나의 통제집단과 두 개의 실험집단으로 구성하였다.학생의 개념 변화를 ANOVA 분석한 결과 세 집단은 모두 수업 처치 전과 후에 유의 수준 0.05 이내에서 의미 있는 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으나 세 집단들 사이에도 유의한 차이가 있었다. 그러므로 학생이 지필로써 인지 방략적 질문 활동을 한 처치 수업은 전통적인 수업보다 열과 온도에 관한 학생의 개념 변화에 더욱 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

From the perspective of phenomenongraphy(根据登的象式), two videotaped mathematics lessons were observed, compared and analyzed, and the features of those times were extracted. The quantitative and qualitative analysis of the global structure and the questioning in the lessons etc. showed that in teaching behaviors there were some essential differences reflecting the impact of new beliefs and principles of teaching. Evidences also show that excellent teachers did keep and carry on the good tradition teaching for basic knowledge and basic skills were seen as the most important thing in mathematics teaching in China.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common bacterial illness in children. Acute pyelonephritis in children may lead to renal scarring with the risk of later hypertension, preeclampsia during pregnancy, proteinuria, and renal insufficiency. Until now, vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) has been considered the most important risk factor for post-UTI renal scar formation in children. VUR predisposes children with UTI to pyelonephritis, and both are associated with renal scarring. However, reflux nephropathy is not always acquired; rather, it reflects reflux-associated congenital dysplastic kidneys. The viewpoint that chronic kidney disease results from renal maldevelopment-associated VUR has led to questioning the utility of any regimen directed at identifying or treating VUR. Despite the recognition that underlying renal anomalies may be the cause of renal scarring that was previously attributed to infection, the prevention of renal scarring remains the goal of all therapies for childhood UTI. Therefore, children at high risk of renal scar formation after UTI should be treated and investigated until a large clinical study and basic research give us more information.

The language socialization approach states that novices are socialized into cultural norms through participating in routine, repeated interactional acts and sequences (e.g., Ochs & Schieffelin, 1984; Ochs, 1988; Schieffelin & Ochs, 1986a; 1986b; Watson-Gegeo & Gegeo, 1986). One of the cultural norms or dominant epistemological orientations in American culture is the tendency to avoid the overt display of power asymmetry in novice-expert relationship (Ochs & Schieffelin, 1984). This study examines how this cultural preference is reflected and encoded in ESL teachers' use of routine discourse patterns in corrective sequences. Eight hours of ESL classes taught by three Caucasian teachers born and educated in the U.S. were analyzed for the study. The analysis showed that the cultural tendency in question is keyed and indexed in the teacher's routine corrective discourse patterns in the form of various questioning, elicitation, and mitigation practices. Findings support that teachers' routine classroom discourse practices represent their cultural ideologies and transfer these cultural predispositions to second language learners and that they possibly socialize the learners into the target language-oriented beliefs.
