The purpose of this study was to restore So-ganui(小簡儀), which is a unique astronomical instrument during Sejong period, so that its educational application can be sought. To achieve it, researcher researched the observation principle of our ancestors and the structure of So-ganui, and then restored So-ganui. The result is as following. First, So-ganui is the astronomical observation instrument which can not only measure the position of the celestial bodies in terms of function but also find out the height and distance of topography, and get the time. Second, restoration So-ganui is suitable for the students to learn as an inquiry activity of the observation information in the science curriculum and it would be used as the learning materials for the proper understanding of the science and measurement principle of our ancestors. This study would contribute to raising the level of pride in our scientific culture for the students and succeed the heritage of the science and culture.

Theoretical benefits and research findings on the use of Microcomputer-based Laboratory (MBL) are considered for using MBL in a way that will be of benefit to students and teachers, and discussed as a whole for further synthesis, including the formulation of a research agenda for future consensus-based action. Based on the findings obtained from a comprehensive review of the literature, using a systematic approach, the uses of MBL were compared and contrasted for advancing understanding of the teaching and learning processes in science and mathematics. A number of benefits were proposed by MBL developers but not investigated by educational researchers. A few research studies considered the following practical aspects raised by classroom science teachers: technical problems of MBL equipment; inaccuracy or incompleteness of presentation; efficient ways for handling class time with MBL instruction; and development of MBL curriculum materials for their own instruction. This lack of research related to the use of MBL in science classrooms resulted in educational research that was neither respected nor utilized by science teachers. Setting a research agenda based on the theoretical benefits and research findings is necessary for the effective use of MBL in science classrooms can help to maximize the prospects for successful school improvement projects while minimizing the innovation-related frustrations of individuals.

The goal of this study was to understand the reasons for learning about Korean herbal food by examining the actual conditions in a Korean herbal food course during lifestyle education. The general characteristics of the people learning about or working with the food as well as the correlations between the examined factors were analyzed, focusing on each person's dietary lifestyle. We divided the class participants into five dietary lifestyle groups by analyzing their scores. Group 1 was the"taste-seeking type", group 2 was the "quality-seeking type", group 3 was the"economy-seeking type", group 4 was the"convenience and economy-seeking type", and group 5 was the"convenience and health-seeking type". A person with a cooking career was considered to have more experience with Korean herbal food. The highest motivation for Korean herbal food education was for professional reasons, and the class that was most appreciated was learning about Korean traditional herbal foods. The highest satisfaction for the class was based on the instructor's knowledge, followed by food tastes, foodstuffs, educational materials, and the facilities superintendent. Satisfaction with the class tuition and practical utilization was relatively low.

The purpose of this study was to examine the difficulties experienced by teachers in science gifted education. To fulfill the purpose of this study, 80 science teachers that taught gifted students were requested to write an anecdotal report regarding gifted education and presented 215 difficulties. By means of inductive categorical analysis, these difficulties were grouped into several categories. The results were as follows: The difficulties experienced by teachers in science gifted education fell into three categories: 'difficulties relating to environment (23.7%)', 'difficulties relating to students(16.7%)', 'difficulties relating to teachers(59.5%)'. Most serious difficulty was 'insufficient educational program'. and many teachers felt difficulty in developing the educational materials. Additionally, we discussed some features of each categories of difficulties.

1. This paper suggests one educational model of National Parks. The model includes main themes such as (1) concepts, (2) waste types, and (3) conservation policies of National Parks for the application at the school environmental education classes. 2. The study describes the origin of the national park system and concepts or policies for the conservation of the parks with cases of Japan, Taiwan, Canada, Australia, Swiss, Russia, and International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources(IUCN). The main focuses of their concepts or policies are on the (1) public land, (2) conserved, (3) legally protected land, and (4) land for the education of the loving their country. 3. This research classifies wastes of parks as point, linear, areal, and cubic types, and explains wasting actions on each types, focused mainly on the mountainous national parks. 4. The suggested policies for the conserving national parks, in this paper, are (1) core-zoning policy, and (2) management policy within the core zone. 5. Some principles are suggested for the more effective realization of the policies: (1) enforcement, (2) abandonment,(3) restoration, (4) enlargement, (5) limitation, (6) incorporation, (7) monitoring, and (8) education. 6. Finally, the educational values of this model may be derived from concepts of (1) loving national land, (2) conservation of nature, (3) public responsibility for protection, and (4) education materials. Those concepts form the foundation of models for (1) civic education, (2) education of country, and (3) inquiry training.

Because a development figure is treated restrictively in elementary school, not only there are brought out the concept image, but also the definition of the development figure in textbook in not unique. Furthermore, since the comparison and analysis of 'definition element' between the materials in textbook are nor carried out, its educational value as well as the teaching for concepts and objectives does not give rise to public discussion. In this note, we will investigate the definition and teaching of the development figure in Korea and Japan. And through three viewpoints of its definition and related debate, we will consider the fundamental understanding and objectiveness of a development figure, and suggest its mathematical application. This study will promote teachers's critical and didactical insight for the didactical transposition.

To offer a basic information for the fibers of commercial leaflets, authors examined and analyzed the distribution, size, and printing types of leaflets sandwiched in the newspaper. The number of different leaflet size were almost 30 in two years including B5 ($182{\times}257mm$), A4 ($210{\times}297mm$), B4, ($257{\times}364mm$), A3 ($297{\times}420mm$), and large flyers such as $545{\times}395mm$, and $790{\times}550mm$. The number of different leaflets size were 25 in 2011, which was reduced to 15 in 2012. Both the number and amount of the leaflets were reduced. The high quality leaflets were issued and distributed in the corporate sector and the leaflets issued in other sectors such as shopkeeping, restaurant business, educational institutions were one-sided leaflets printed on single side of the paper. Compared to the previous year, large stores showed the increased number of leaflets but the number of leaflets from restaurant business and educational institutions and building trade were decreased.

More recently, companies that have obtained permission to use radioactive materials or radiation device and registered radiation workers have increased by 10% and 4% respectively. The increased use of radiation could have an effect on radiation safety control. However, there is not nearly enough manpower and budget compared to the number of workers and facilities. This paper will suggest a counteroffer thought analyzing pending issues. The results of this paper indicate that there are 47 and 31.3 workers per radiation protection officer in educational and research institutes, respectively. There are 20.1 persons per RPO in hospitals, even though there are 2 RPOs appointed. Those with a special license as a radioisotope handler were ruled out as possible managers because medical doctors who have a special license for radioisotope handling normally have no experience with radiation safety. The number of staff members and budget have been insufficient for safety control at most educational and research institutes. It is necessary to build an optimized safety control system for effective Radiation Safety Control. This will reduce the risk factor of safety, and a few RPOs can be supplied for efficiency and convenience.
