  • Although the reward based on group accomplishment in cooperative learning has a merit to emphasize interdependency, it may have some undesirable side effects such as free rider effect and sucker effect. For the purpose of reducing these side effects, this study examined how the adjustment of the reward structure affected the scholastic achievement, the perception of learning environments, and the attitude toward science class by adding individual reward to group reward. We selected 2 classes of sixth grade in an elementary school, and taught on oxygen and carbon dioxide for 13 class hours in cooperative learning strategies. Group reward was applied to one class, and both group and individual rewards were applied to the other class. Analysis of the results indicated that the achievement scores of the students under the group and individual rewards were significantly higher than those under the group reward. In addition, they had more difficulty in science class and felt less satisfied. The upper level students under the group and individual rewards were also found to exhibit more competition. Educational implications were discussed.

  • In this paper, we address a layout design problem for determining an optimal 4-class-based dedicated linear storage layout in a class of unit load storage systems. Assuming that space requirement for a class is the sum of the maximum inventory levels of products assigned to the class, and that one-way travel time is a linear function of storage index, we formulate a 4-class-based dedicated linear storage problem PTL[4] and provide an exact splitting algorithm with $O(n{\lceil}logn{\rceil})$. Our algorithms could be applied to more than a 4-class-based dedicated storage layout problem with slight modification in order to reduce computational execution time.

  • The purpose of this study is to find out the influence of MBL Exhibition Class on the Elementary School students' academic achievement, scientific research abilities and affective characters. For the purpose, three classes were sampled in the 5th grade of an elementary school. Among the three classes, two were designated as the comparative classes consisted of 68 students and the other was the experimental class, 33 students. The comparative classes were given lessens according to the content presented in the textbook of 7th Education Curriculum and the experimental class was given re-built lessons with using MBL machines. Before and after giving lessons, students of both classes took a test for science academic achievement. And also the scientific research abilities and affective characters were examined. The conclusions from this study is as follows. First, according to the result of science academic achievement test after giving lessons, the mean of the experimental class was higher than that of the comparative classes meaningfully. Second, scientific research abilities of the experimental class was shown higher than that of the comparative classes meaningfully. Specially, basic research abilities were improved very meaningfully and only hypothesis-building ability was improved among integrated research abilities. Third, it doesn't seem that MBL exhibition class is effective on affective characters(interest, attitudes).

  • 소프트웨어 개발을 위한 모델링 방법 중 대표적인 것으로 UML을 이용한 방법이 있으며, 제품계열공학에서 소프트웨어의 재사용을 위한 모델링 방법으로 feature 모델링에 관한 연구가 진행 되고 있다. feature 모델링 방법은 잘 정의된 개발 기법을 제공하여 활용되고 있으나 다소 범용 적이지 않다. 또한 그 구조물이 UML과 상이하여 UML사용자가 feature 모델을 재사용하는 데는 어려움을 가지고 있고, feature 모델에서 class모델로의 변환을 제시한 기존연구는 도메인 전문가에 의해 경험적으로 모델링을 하기 때문에 모호성과 이해의 오류, 그리고 잘못된 해석 등의 문제가 발생 된다. 그리고, feature 모델과 class모델의 모든 요소를 매핑하여 변환하지 않는다는 점에서 완전하지 못하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Ontology를 이용하여 의미 기반의 명확한 명세를 통한 feature모델의 class 모델로의 변환기법을 제시하고, 이를 위해 feature 모델과 class 모델의 구조물의 요소를 정의하고 이를 기반으로 feature 모델과 OWL, 그리고 class 모델 속성간의 매핑 규칙을 제시하고, 본 논문에서 제시한 변환 프로세스를 이용하여 사례연구를 하였다.

  • This study attempted to understand the difficulties experienced in program development and class operation of instructors in the hands-on science class and the needs for training based on them. For this study, an online survey was conducted on 193 instructors in the hands-on science class in 2022, and interviews were conducted on 13 instructors. As a result, the difficulties of developing programs for hands-on science class instructors were due to lack of class content, lack of program development budget, lack of equipment necessary for class operation, and difficulty in applying various educational methods such as discussion and practice. The preferred training contents were in the order of the latest science and technology, reconstruction methods of existing programs, and regional specialization technology. In addition, it was found that the difficulties experienced by instructors in class management stemmed from the method of operating hands-on science classes using experience kits. Accordingly, instructor education should be provided in the direction of helping instructors to provide the best education in the situation of the hands-on science classroom.
