The building integrated photovoltaic(BIPV) system has a double advantage that it reduces costs for exterior materials and PV panels. It allows the construction of a low-energy building without the need for the additional installation space. At the construction planning stage, however, it requires sufficient evaluation on the efficiency and performance. This study was performed to promote the distribution of photovoltaic power generation system by estimating the potential photovoltaic power generation capacity of the BIPV system installed on the university lecture building and by evaluating the characteristics and performances of window, spandrel and combined attachment types via the simulation of generation capacity per unit area.

The interior space of the elementary classroom is very important not only as the teaming space for children but as the place for living. But the lack of understanding and the unplanned use of colors on the part of those concerned are indeed having adverse effects on children's leaning and activity. The purpose of this study is to suggest the way of interior color design in an elementary schools. To know the specific problems, this study researched and analyzed the interior color in the new elementary schools and investigated the color and the color arrangement preference of elementary school students. It is expected that the study results will be very helpful as the basic materials to consider in planing the interior color environment of the elementary classroom.

The east-asian mathematics is highly evaluated in mathematics education. In this paper, we search the geometric problems of east-asian mathematics in high school textbooks and various examinations and investigate how to use such problems. We also confirm that the geometric problems of east-asian mathematics can be widely used as real life materials for introducing new mathematical topics, real life applications for mathematical topics, and valuable source for mathematical discourse.

The purpose of this study was to examine the current interior conditions of Child Care Center and to suggest the interior planning guidelines of Child Care Center. Data were collected through questionnaire survey including observations and interviews. The sample consisted of 84 Child Care Centers. The data were analyzed by using SPSS-PC. The major findings were as follows: (1) Most of Child Care Centers are not in the desirable Interior environment. To enhance the quality of Child Care Center, the physical interior environment of Child Care Center should be influence on the development of child. (2) Functional spaces should be organized to support the child' behavior. Multi-purposed room should be provide to encourage and adapt to variety of large-muscle activities. (3) The design of Child Care Center should be emphasized to satisfy teachers and children who are directed users. (4) Interior finishings looks too monotonous and do not have characteristics. Natural materials, various colors and patterns are recommendable. Furniture should be designed to meet the functions of flexibility, mobility, and security.

The purpose of this study is to collect and analyze Technical High School Teachers' opinions to find out solutions to reduce safety accidents since it is important for teachers to recognize the importance of safety. We surveyed 150 teachers from technical high schools located in Incheon and divided them into three categories and asked their opinions about prevention of safety accidents in laboratories. We also studied their experiences constructing educational environment and making instructional materials for safety eduction to improve safety awareness. Also, we studied whether school safety awareness increases through safety related activities.

In recent years, augmented reality (AR) technologies have been the subject of great interest among many communities. In education applications, old-fashioned materials (or textbooks) are still used, despite remarkable AR developments in the industrial area. We present an AR system for education. Our system consists of an authoring tool that can be used to create educational content, a viewer that plays that content, and an engine to manage the tool and viewer. In our system, a marker unit recognizes a marker printed on a plane or a cubic plane by adaptively adjusting the threshold to have an excellent recognition rate in diverse environments and acquires corresponding data of the marker. Based on the system, we test 142 elementary school students for increased educational benefits using our system.

This study is to conducted to find out parents' level of knowledge on child sexual abuse prevention, and their demands for a parental education program on sexual abuse prevention. Two hundred and six parents of 5 to 7 year-old children in kindergartens in Kwangju and Chonnam were surveyed. Data were analyzed by using frequencies and percentages. The results are as followed Parents have obtained knowledge on sexual abuse through mass media, guiding books and so on. They were aware that communication with children is the most effective method for sexual abuse prevention. They were somewhat at a loss on exactly what to teach and how to teach the children. and complained about the lack of educational materials. They think that the age that is most appropriate for such education is between 6 and 7 year-old, and the parents and teachers are responsible for educating chi10en on sexual abuse. For the desired content of the education, they included sex, sexual abuse, and parents' coping.

Kindergarten children are engaged in the age of physical immaturity as well as the rapid growth. The indoor air contaminants that are proved to affect even the full grown adults are obvious to have no little influence to immature small children in a growth period. In May 2004, for the multi purpose facilities and newly constructed apartments, the Ministry of Environment announced "Indoor Air Quality Control Law for the Multi Purpose Facility," which made the interests to be focused in the urgent understanding of current condition and preparation of measures about the indoor air pollution. In Dec 2005, the law was revised to obligatorily notify the amount of Formaldehyde and Volatile Organic Compounds in the case of newly constructed apartments with more than 100 houses. However, since the kindergarten takes none of the classifications, even the current condition is not grasped although it is directly connected to the health of growing children. Therefore, the study aims to analyze indoor air pollution of one selected kindergarten in Incheon city.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the types of the usable space and its areal distribution for the sake of analogizing the planning criteria to be established when the elementary school is renovated. This study has been progressed with reference to the analysis of the drawings, situation analysis through the visiting, and materials of each elementary schools. As a result, the types of the usable space and its areal distribution of each school are different. So, it is an urgent problem what criteria are established on the types of the usable space and its areal distribution when the elementary school is renovated.

This study aims to conduct a case study of the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) outreach program development and their application. This program was operated by 184 middle and high school students at C University on October 2014. The major results of these studies were as follows: First, The theme of the outreach program consisted of four engineering areas, aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, architectural engineering, and mechatronics (robot) engineering; moreover, the materials for the students' workbook, the guidebook for teachers, and the program operation manual for staffs in a university were developed by working with four authors and ten subject matter experts. Second, the satisfaction level with the contents and activities was ranged from 4.24-4.31 out of 5 points. Third, the vitalizing activation plan was discussed for the sustainable development and operation of the STEAM outreach program.
