In-migration has long been recognized as on important factor in rural development. Its impact can be expected to increase even further as the elderly population continues to grow. Recently with the retirement of baby boomers, postretirement moves have become increasingly important issue in rural Korea. Because the consequences of rural in-migration are often most pronounced at the local or regional level, rural planners are among the many scholars and practitioners seeking to understand the patterns and consequences of in-migration. At the same time, however, planners have sometimes overlooked basic research on the causes and determinants of mobility, and on the relationships between retirement migration and other socioeconomic processes. The papers aims to explore the reviews of rural in-migration studies and its practical implications, providing an interdisciplinary review of the most important studies published between 1990-2009. Through the literature review of in-migration, this study suggests that main arguments for rural in-imgration studies such as rural populations, counterurbanization, rural businesses incubator and rural amenity be emphasized to vitalize and diversify rural economies.

In the engineering education, the difference of student's achievements is one of the problems to make teaching more difficult. To solve this problem, cooperative learning can be adopted to make students study automatically and cooperatively in the small study group. However, it is not easy to achieve substantial cooperation in the study group. In this paper, we propose a method to achieve substantial cooperative learning in the engineering subject requiring mathematical practice. we can vitalize the cooperative learning and improve the student's achievements by using the both of individual and group assessment.
