  • The purpose of this study was to analyze the development of the compensational thinking by the compensation activities of 'Thinking Science' program. The 138 students were sampled in elementary schools and were divided into two groups, the experimental group of 74 students and the control group of 64 students. Both the compensation activities of the 'Thinking Science' program and a regular science curriculum were implemented to the experimental group, while only a regular science curriculum to the control group. Both experimental and control group were pre-tested with Science Reasoning Task II and compensational thinking test I and were post-tested with compensational thinking test II. This study revealed that the types of strategies used in compensation problem solving were categorized as illogical explanation, rule automation, proportionality, explanation in qualitative terms, additive quantification, inverse proportionality and were related to the context of the items. It was found that compensation activities of the 'Thinking Science' program were effective on the development of the compensational thinking.

  • The purpose of this study was to analyze characteristics of problem solving process with proportional or compensational reasoning of the elementary school students. For this study, 85th grade students were selected and tested with Science Reasoning Task, information processing ability test and proportional and compensational reasoning tasks. This study revealed that students in mid concrete stage could solve the proportionality task and easy compensation task. But, most of the students could not solve difficult compensation task. And as the students got higher score in information processing test, it took them less time to solve the problem. The types of strategy used in solving proportional and compensational problem were categorized as the factor of change, building-up and the cross-product. Most of the students failed in problem solving used incorrect schema knowledge, procedure knowledge and strategy knowledge. Many students tended to use proportionality strategy to solve the difficult compensation task. Result of this study suggested that various task included different structure and the same schema knowledge can be effective for the advancement of students' proportional and compensational reasoning ability.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the general transfer effects of Thinking Science program on the problem solving with compensational reasoning of the elementary school students. For this study, 156 5th grade and 138 6th grade students were selected from four elementary schools. The students were tested with SRT(Science Reasoning Task) and compensational reasoning task. Statistically significant gains on the development of compensational reasoning were shown by the experimental group implemented with Thinking Science activities compared to the group implemented with compensation activity only. The achievement of the experimental group was higher than that of the compensation activity group in solving problem with compensational reasoning, specially for the boys and students in both the mature concrete and the concrete generalization stage. The results of this study implied that implementation of Thinking Science program related to several formal reasoning were effective for the development of reasoning ability as a general-transfer.

  • A poor achievement of basic competency leads to obstacles of the same subject and other subjects from a series of accumulative losses and social life. The Grade 3 National Diagnostic Assessment of Basic Competency (NDAHC) dated from 2002, Teaching Plan Responsible to Basic Competency and compensational education materials for students of the below-basic level has marked a line in the chain of policy to realize educational welfare. The goal of NDABC is to collect information of the reason with regard to learning deficiency and individual student's information, and ultimately teach them on the basis of those informations. This study analyzed the characteristics of below-basic students in the basic mathematics with data from NDABC from 2003 to 2007. Students of the below-basic level were affected in achievement by numerical distinction, regrouping, arrangement and descriptive form of item, information-providing way, typical example, familiarity, frequency in use in daily life etc. This study provides a basic important information with regard to teaching below-basic students and suggestions with compensational education materials for them.

  • We investigated student's characteristics in each educational achievement level using the results of the NAEA (National Assessment of Educational Achievement) in 2009, 2010, and 2011 for Grade 6 students, and compared the characteristics between elementary and middle school students. The analysis of representative items for each educational achievement level of elementary and middle school students revealed that (a) advanced level students from both elementary and middle school could exactly understand the achievement criteria of the curriculum, (b) proficient level students from both elementary and middle school were understanding the achievement criteria of the curriculum superficially, for example, they could not understand concepts exactly but could memorize terms, and so should have compensational education under situations that ask for short answer or essay type items instead of multiple choice items, and (c) basic level students from both elementary and middle school almost could not understand the achievement criteria of curriculum, and so should have compensational education under situations that only deal with a simple situation. Science concepts treated in science curriculum are hierarchically organized by level of school, and simple compensational education for the students of below basic level will not solve learning deficits in science education. Differentiated education by educational achievement should be largely expanded instead.

  • The objective of this study is to identify the relationship quality and relationship benefit, which has greater explanatory power in predicting fashion consumers' future loyalty. This study is particularly interested in the different explanatory power of each relationship quality with various relationship partners of fashion consumers. The participants were 507 female consumers over 20 years old and they responed questionnaire. The result showed that relationship quality types and relationship benefits having greater explanatory power in predicting consumers' loyal relationship intention varied with multi-loyal relations. Consumers' intention to be loyal to an apparel brand and apparel company was more explained by self attachment than by any other relationship quality types, whereas the intention to be loyal to specific department store was predicted by low involved relationship quality types such as habitual alternative and compensational bind. Trusted intimacy was the only relationship quality type that was significant in predicting consumers' intention to be loyal to salesperson in the future. Among relationship benefits, the influence of convenience benefit was significant in predicting consumers' future loyalty in most relations.
