Subjects consisting of 335 middle school students were analyzed using arousal seeking tendency scales to determine the effect on student's scores on scales for physical education intrinsic motivation and physical education attitude. The data were subjected to frequency analysis, correlation analysis, reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and multiple regression analysis as statistical methods. The results were as follows. In the subscales of arousal seeking tendency, novelty seeking positively influenced interest, efforts, and competence. In the subscales of arousal seeking tendency, novelty seeking positively influenced physical education attitude, but thrill seeking negatively influenced health and fitness only. In the subscales of physical education intrinsic motivation, interest and efforts positively influenced physical education attitude, while both competence and tension partly influenced it. These findings indicate that improving both attitude and intrinsic motivation of middle school students toward physical education would require a method of teaching and learning that encourages students′ novelty seeking in the subscales of arousal seeking tendency.

Mobile computing environment is known to be quite difficult to provide user with a stable QoS(Qualify of Service) due to its mobility nature. In order to protect the inherent characteristics of wireless network such as low bandwidth and high transmission delay along with the user's mobility, many works are conducted to apply caching and prefetching methods. This paper presents a novel prefetching technique which is based on user's preference, that is, interest and Uuかity. It tries to improves the effectiveness of prefetching by separating and appling the interest with personal tendency of a given information, and the popularity with general tendency of the information. The proposed scheme shown relatively superior performance in terms of the utilization ratio of prefetched information and the failure ratio of information retrieval than the existing methods.
