This study analyzed the attributes of the conceptions of $3^{rd}$ to $6^{th}$ grade elementary school students on three states of matter and investigated the characteristics of the classified results of various examples of matter by grades. Through discussion activities, we confirmed the stabilization of conception attributions. For this study, 113 participants from two $3^{rd}$ to $6^{th}$ grade elementary school classes were selected. The concentration analysis (C-factor) and normalized gain (G-factor) of the conceptions for the quantitative analysis of the conception changes were used. The elementary school students retained different percentages of the attributes for states of matter. The characteristic of the grades were different between the 3rd grade and other grades. Based on these results, we pointed out the problems with the present teaching methods in science textbooks and stated the advantages of the effects of the representation of mixtures.

The characteristic aspects of learning a foreign language require special resources and tools for online learning. Criteria for choosing educational platforms depend on key elements of an academic subject area. Microsoft Teams (hereafter, MT) educational platform is competitive one because it meets most of the needs that arise during the formation of a secondary linguistic persona. Due to the large number of corporate programs, there are a successful acquisition of language skills and the implementation of all types of oral activities of students. A significant MT advantage is the constant analysis and monitoring of the platform of participants' needs in the educational process by developers. The article highlights MT advantages and disadvantages. The attention is drawn to individual programs, which, in the authors' opinion, are the most successful to learn writing, reading, speaking, listening, as well as organize classes that meet needs of modern foreign students.

Factorization asks the recognition of the structure of polynomials, compared to polynomial expansion with process characteristic. Therefore it makes students experience a lot of difficulties. This study aims to figure out causes of the difficulties by identifying students' cognitive characteristics in factorizing in the perspective of 'structure sense'. To do this, we gave six factorizing problems of three types to middle school students and selected six participants as interviewees based on the test results. They were classified into two categories, structure sense and non-structure sense. Through this interview, we figured out the interviewee's cognitive characteristics and the causes of difficulty in the perspective of structure sense. Furthermore, we suggested some didactical implications for encouraging structure sense in factorizing by identifying assistances and obstacles for recognition of structures.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to verify the difference in diet, digestion, sweat, feces and urination characteristics according to body shape characteristic. Methods : 1,302 participants were divided into 4 body types and were assessed through the questionnaire about Sasang constitution's ordinary symptoms such as diet, digestion, sweat, feces and urination characteristics. Results : Hyeong-keum type had active characteristics in the size of their meal and speed of taking meal. Hyeong-keum type got the most in the amount of sweating. And Yo-wi type reported the greatest urinary frequency. Conclusions : The difference of body type influences Sasang constitution's ordinary symptoms such as diet, sweat and urination. In digestion and feces, there was no statistical significance in the difference.

Participants in this study to develop the Korean version of the Early Childhood Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment(EC-HOME) were 294 3- to 6- year-old children enrolled in a child care center and their parents. Results were that EC-HOME had sufficient internal reliability : Cronbach's ${\alpha}=.80$. Correlation of test-retest ranged from .76~.97. In item-analysis, 9 items with low 'corrected item-total correlation' were removed resulting in 30 items. Factor analysis confirmed 6 factors : 1) Learning Material, 2) Learning Stimulation, 3) Responsivity, 4) Physical Environment, 5) Language Stimulation, and 6) Variety of Materials. Analysis of the relation of children's home environment to their characteristic variances with parents and developmental functioning showed high internal consistency and convergent validity of the sub-scales.

Objective: This study aimed to analyse the influence of young children's playfulness at home and class characteristics on their playfulness at kindergarten. Methods: Twenty eight classes of 3, 4 and 5 year olds in Gyeonggi and Chungbuk provinces were recruited. Participants of this study were mothers and head teachers of the children of recruited classes. Analyses was implemented using hierarchical linear modeling with HLM 7.0. Results: Differences were found in children's playfulness at kindergarten according to their classes. Individual characteristics including, gender, age and playfulness at home were shown to have significant influences on playfulness at kindergarten, while relevance of variable class characteristics to playfulness at kindergarten was not observed. Conclusion/Implications: It is concluded that playfulness of children is more related to playfulness at home rather than class characteristics, implying the strong characteristic of playfulness as an individual trait.

The purpose of this study was to offer objective information about standard of selecting and training fashion models by verifying anthropometric characteristics and comparing with general women. Total forty eight fashion models (M=20.08yr ; SD=1.7) were recruited by convenience sampling. Thirty eight items of participants were measured by manual of International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometric (ISAK). Mean and standard deviation of 38 items and also factor of somatotype (endomorph, mesomorph, ectomorph) were calculated. In the result, somatotype of fashion model was endomorphic ectomorphy, less muscle and taller height. Conclusionally, this study indicated that there is less mesomorphy rating related to muscle quantity, bone mass in somatoplot. However, it is necessary to provide the program enhancing the physical activity with model department.

As characteristic of construction industries, the Issues of construction management have been pointed out because of time and space limit among construction project participants (owner, supervisor, builder, experiment specialty institute, specialty construction company, material supplier and equipment supplier). To improve these issues, procurement system has been introduced by using internet and intranet. Procurement system that was developed by some of large construction companies was considered only internal supply on closed system method. They also restricted to article supply as supply concept. In this paper, we suggest a plan to establish integrated construction procurement system that expands to the article, service and construction work supplies by utilizing the bi-directional and real-time contact system and presents related following research program.

The purpose of this paper id to study the factors influencing MIS user satisfaction. For this purpose. I have reviewed the results of past studies on the performance factor of MIS, and introduced a new model associated with small & Medium Business. On the basis of this model, I have hypothesized that the following variables influence user satisfaction : (gender, age), individual characteristics(user attitude, training for user), managerial characteristic(top management involvement, organizational support) and task characteristics(task structure). There were 195 participants surveyed using questionnaires from 25 different small & medium Business in Pusan. The research model and associated hypotheses were tested by following statistical techniques: reliability test, regression, t-test and ANOVA. The findings of this study are follows; 1. It was found that gender and age are not correlated user satisfaction. 2. Among individual characteristics, only user attitude influence user satisfaction significantly. 3. While organizational supports influence positively user satisfaction, top management involvement do not influence it. 4. Task structure is highly correlated with user satisfaction. In spite of many factors affecting MIS success, this study did not consider all variables affect on user satisfaction. We need integrated model including more various factors.

The purpose of this study was to examine the developmental trends in children's gender-role flexibility across different areas of gender-role concept(appearance, activities, occupations, personality trails). Participants included 74 children(1st, 3rd, 5th graders). They were interviewed on a series of 16 pictures depicting cross-gender characteristics. Analyses revealed that (a) flexibility reached its peak at around age 8, which then remained the same except in appearance, (b) girls showed higher flexibility than boys except in occupations, (c) children showed the lowest flexibility in appearance and the highest in occupations, (d) children showed the lowest flexibility toward a male target child with cross-gender characteristic, and (e) children's justifications for flexibility were varied according to the situations. The results suggest that children's gender-role flexibility is influenced by age, sex, areas of gender-role concept, and target persons.
