The firm leading community that is built to achieve firm's ad hoc purpose has two interested parties, operator and user. The success of the firm leading community, therefore, can be driven by meeting the needs of both parties. Most studies of the community, however, have focused not on operator but on user so far. This study identifies two variables-operating activities and organizational support-as success factors of firm leading community based on prior studies and analyzes them in term of the operator of firm leading community through 2nd in-depth interview.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of students' prior knowledge on scientific reasoning in solving a pendulum task with a computer simulation. Subjects were 60 Korean students: 27 fifth-grade students from an elementary school and 33 seventh grade students from a middle school located in a city with 300,000 people. This study adapted a pendulum task presented with a computer simulation on which subjects would use a pattern of multivariable causal inferences. The subjects were interviewed individually in a three-phase structured interview by the researcher and three assistants while he/she was investigating the pendulum task. This study showed that most students across grades focused heavily on demonstrating the primacy of their prior knowledge or their current hypothesis. In addition, students' theories that are part of one's prior knowledge have a significant impact on formulating, testing, and revising hypotheses. Therefore, this study supported the notion that students' prior knowledge had a strong effect on students' experimental intent and hypothesis evaluation.
