  • A common language for modeling software requirements and design in recent years is Unified Modeling Language (UML). Essential principles and rules are provided by UML to help visualize and comprehend complex software systems. It has therefore been incorporated into the curriculum for software engineering courses at several institutions all around the world. However, it is commonly recognized that UML is challenging for beginners to understand, mostly owing to its complexity and ill-defined nature. It is unavoidable that we need to comprehend their preferences and issues considerably better than we do presently to approach the problem of teaching UML to beginner students in an acceptable manner. This paper offers a hint-based approach that can be implemented along with an ordinary lab task. Some keywords are highlighted to indicate class diagram components and make students understand the textual descriptions. The experimental results indicate significant improvement in students' learning skills. Furthermore, the majority of students also positively responded to the survey conducted in the end experimental study.

  • Performance assessment was introduced to improvement of self-directed learning and method of assessment for differenced learning as the seventh educational curriculum is enforced. Performance assessment is overcoming limitation about problem solving ability and higher thinking abilities assessment that is problem of a written examination and get into the spotlight by way for quality of class and school normalization. But performance assessment has problems about possibilities of assessment fault by appraisal, fairness, reliability, and validity of grading, ambiguity of grading standard, difficulty about objectivity security etc. This study proposes fuzzy performance assessment system to solve problem of the conventional performance assessment. This paper presented an objective and reliable performance assessment method through fuzzy reasoning, design fuzzy membership function and define fuzzy rule analyzing factor that influence in each sacred ground of performance assessment to account principle subject. Also, performance assessment item divides by formation estimation and subject estimation and designed membership function in proposed performance assessment method. Performance assessment result that is worked through fuzzy performance assessment system can pare down burden about appraisal's fault and provide fair and reliable assessment result through grading that have correct standard and consistency to students.

  • Recently, there have been a number of voices from industry that control education at the university is too theoretical and so university graduates are lack of practical ability to apply the control idea to actual systems. In order to reflect these voices, this paper investigates a few examples of successful control education in Asian countries, and presents a modern curriculum of control education, and an effective methodology of control education. For effective control education, we need design and simulation practices of control system using computer software packages, and hands-on experiments using physical hardware plants. The experimental setups should be rugged and reliable to prevent from the breakdown by the students who are non-experts in dealing with hardwares and softwares.

  • Most of the experimental tools currently used are applied to experiments in the physical field by utilizing sensors and only MBL that are suitable for specific experiments have been developed. However, There is no experimental design stage using SW fusion, and there is a limit to the application of various chemistry experiments in textbooks, and in the case of Arduino, it is difficult for students to learn and understand language when programming. In this paper, we designed and developed a SW education convergence science experiment apparatus including a learner's active experiment design process, overcoming the shortcomings of the existing microcomputer experiment and the limitations of software education.

  • Purpose The objective of this study is to determine the programming language for improving algorithmic thinking of basic software education for non-majors, which has recently been receiving attention to nurture talents needed in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Design/methodology/approach In this study, Delphi method was used to select the suitable programming language for the features of each of five departments for basic software education for non-majors in order to develop the capability of algorithmic thinking. The survey was conducted three times to 21 experts, and the results were analyzed using quantitative analysis (CVR) values and stability. Findings For the most suitable programming language for each department determined in this study, App Inventor was selected for humanities department, RUR-PLE for natural science department, App Inventor for social science department, Python for engineering department, and Scratch for fine arts department. This is expected to be used as the basis for determining the direction of curriculum and operation of universities starting basic software education through programming language by department proposed in this study.

  • Currently, general educational science experiment teaching aids cannot be accurately measured, and even MBL experiment teaching aids consist of sensor-oriented programs that is difficult to actively design experiments by focusing only on securing data. This study envisioned a science experiment parish system capable of software convergence experiment design through curriculum analysis, and designed the entire system architecture, frame, and mechanism of MBL-based science experiment parish system by supplementing the limitations of the existing experiment.

  • The real-time video education is used as an effective method of operating classes that replaces face-to-face education of instructors and learners in remote areas. However, the existing video call and video conferences system is mainly used, and this is effective in linguistic education because it focuses on lecture through video, but it is not utilized in other education. In this paper, we propose a design model of real-time video system that can improve the effectiveness of science curriculum and mathematics education by providing the functions that can be utilized during class by improving limitations of image - oriented image education.
