The present study used multi-faceted Rasch measurement to explore the characteristics and bias patterns of non-native raters when they scored L2 writing tasks. Three raters scored 254 writing tasks written by Korean university students on two topics adapted from the TOEFL Test of Written English (TWE). The written products were assessed using a five-category rating scale (Content, Organization, Language in Use, Grammar, and Mechanics). The raters only showed a difference in severity with regard to rating categories but not in task types. Overall, the raters scored Grammar most harshly and Organization most leniently. The results also indicated several bias patterns of ratings with regard to the rating categories and task types. In rater-task bias interactions, each rater showed recurring bias patterns in their rating between two writing tasks. Analysis of rater-category bias interaction showed that the three raters revealed biased patterns across all the rating categories though they were relatively consistent in their rating. The study has implications for the importance of rater training and task selection in L2 writing assessment.

An automatic pronunciation correction system provides users with correction guidelines for each pronunciation error. For this purpose, we propose a speech recognition system which automatically classifies pronunciation errors when Koreans speak a foreign language. In this paper, we also propose machine scoring methods for automatic assessment of pronunciation quality by the speech recognizer. Scores obtained from an expert human listener are used as the reference to evaluate the different machine scores and to provide targets when training some of algorithms. We use a log-likelihood score and a normalized log-likelihood score as machine scoring methods. Experimental results show that the normalized log-likelihood score had higher correlation with human scores than that obtained using the log-likelihood score.

음성인식의 연구 대상은 낭독음성에서 대화음성으로 발전해가고 있다. 이를 위해서는 대량의 대화코퍼스가 필요하다. 그러나 아직 충분한 양의 대화코퍼스가 구축되어 있지 못하며 코퍼스의 주석 정보 또한 복잡하고 다양하게 표현하고 있어 효율적인 활용이 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 TEI를 기반으로 하여 대화 영역을 텔레뱅킹으로 설정하고 대화코퍼스를 구축하여 구축된 대화코퍼스의 주석 정보를 XML(extensible Markup Language)로 표준화할 수 있도록 DTD (Document Type Definition) 정의하고 저장 시스템을 설계하였다.

CEFR(Common European Framework of Reference for Language)는 유럽 전역의 교육기관에서 언어구사 능력을 평가하는 평가 기준이다. 본 논문은 학습자가 문장 작문한 것을 CEFR 에 기반하여 평가하는 모델을 기술하는 것을 목표로 한다. CEFR 기반 문장 작문 평가는 크게 전처리 단계, 작문 단계, 평가 단계로 구성된다. CEFR 기반 문장 작문 평가 모델의 평가는 CEFR 수준별로 분류한 문장들이 전문가의 수동 분류와 일치하는 지의 정확도와 학습자가 작문한 결과의 자동 평가로 측정되었다. 실험은 독일어를 대상으로 하였으며 독일어 전공 41 명의 대학생에게 CEFR 6 등급별로 5 문장씩 총 30 문장의 2 세트를 만들어 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 CEFR 등급별 자동 분류는 전문가의 수동 분류와 61.67%로 일치하는 정확도를 보였다.

Background and Objectives: Although many studies have evaluated the effect of the digital noise reduction (DNR) algorithm of hearing aids (HAs) on speech recognition, there are few studies on the effect of DNR on music perception. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effect of DNR on music, in addition to speech perception, using objective and subjective measurements. Subjects and Methods: Sixteen HA users participated in this study (58.00±10.44 years; 3 males and 13 females). The objective assessment of speech and music perception was based on the Korean version of the Clinical Assessment of Music Perception test and word and sentence recognition scores. Meanwhile, for the subjective assessment, the quality rating of speech and music as well as self-reported HA benefits were evaluated. Results: There was no improvement conferred with DNR of HAs on the objective assessment tests of speech and music perception. The pitch discrimination at 262 Hz in the DNR-off condition was better than that in the unaided condition (p=0.024); however, the unaided condition and the DNR-on conditions did not differ. In the Korean music background questionnaire, responses regarding ease of communication were better in the DNR-on condition than in the DNR-off condition (p=0.029). Conclusions: Speech and music perception or sound quality did not improve with the activation of DNR. However, DNR positively influenced the listener's subjective listening comfort. The DNR-off condition in HAs may be beneficial for pitch discrimination at some frequencies.

This study examines a Korean elementary school EFL teacher's practice of teacher-based assessment (TBA), a subject which has been little researched despite the authorities' strong call for its implementation. The classroom interactions for TBA were observed and audio-recorded in eight fifth-grade classes between March and June 2010. Additionally, the teacher and students were interviewed in a semi-structured way. The results showed that the teacher used three types of TBA: assessment of individual students on different topics, assessment of the entire class on the same topic, and assessment of individual students on the same topic. Due mainly to time constraints during class time and classroom management issues, the teacher preferred implementing the first two types of TBA. During the practice of the types, the teacher provided prompts or posed questions in ways that elicited responses which were short in length and easy. Although the third type of TBA was perceived by both the teacher and students as helping students enhance their EFL proficiency and was the most favored by the students, it was viewed by the teacher as having the potential of causing classroom management difficulties. Based on the findings, a number of implications are suggested.

In this paper, all elements used in integrated infrastructure for job competency assessments of NCS (National Competency Standards) will be merged into assessment system using multiple devices(ASMD). NCS is a systematic approach on required abilities (knowledge, technical expertise, attitude) to process the tasks in the fields by industry. Competiveness of ASMD design is that no limitation of time and space using personal devices like PC, laptop, smartphone, and tablet, while seeing screen, hearing, touching, speaking, and writing. Question type can be limitless to express the situation. To lead technologies and market for domestic and oversea assessment system, supporting on multiple devices with connectivity that will eliminate limitation of time and space is the key feature for design competitiveness. Design of integrated assessment system proposed in this paper can be applied to NCS, fundamental competency evaluation, online test, job aptitude test, and foreign language test which involve listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Compared with existing evaluation method, reduction of investment and operating cost will be greater. Along with development of ICT technologies, the next generation of integrated assessment system will be quickly changed to ASMD, which already involves connected service between internet and smart devices.

소프트웨어를 재사용하는 경우 부품의 품질은 새로 개발한 시스템의 품질에 매우 큰 영향을 미친다. 따라서 재사용 라이브러리를 구성할 때 품질에 대한 평가와 검증은 필수적이다. 여러번 다시 사용하는 재사용 소프트웨어는 일반적인 일회적 소프트웨어에 대한 품질 평가와는 다른 기준으로 평가할 필요가 있다. 사용자 인터페이스나 기능적인 측면보다는 확장성과 정확성 등이 더욱 중요한 품질 요소가 된다. 본 논문은 멀티미디어 재사용 부품 저장소 및 재사용 시스템(Reusable Software for Multimedia Objects)의 일부인 객체 부품화 및 품질 평가 기술 개발에 관한 것으로 C++및 IDL(Interface Definition Language)로 표현된 재사용 부품을 읽어 구문 형식, 구조, 객체 결합도, 객체 응집도, 객체 복잡도, 이해도 등의 관점에서 분석하고 품질 만족도를 출력하는 품질평가 도구를 다루었다. 또한 분산 환경에서 품질 검증 시스템을 사용할 수 있도록 CORBA기반에서 설계하였다.

목적: 이 연구의 목적은 세 가지 자가 평가 방법에 따라 치의학전문대학원 학생들의 치아 삭제 능력의 향상 정도를 비교하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 경북대학교 치의학전문대학원의 2학년 48명 학생을 대상으로 3개의 실험 그룹으로 나누었다. 금관(gold crown)제작을 위한 좌측 하악 제1대구치의 치아삭제를 수행하였다. 세 가지 자가 평가 방법(시각적, 디지털, putty index 자가 평가 그룹)을 사용하여 자가 평가를 수행하고, 치아 삭제를 다시 수행했다. 구강 스캐너를 사용하여 각 치아(삭제된 치아 및 삭제되지 않은 치아)를 스캔하고 standard tessellation language (STL) 파일 형식으로 데이터를 저장하였다. 삭제된 치아와 삭제되지 않은 치아의 STL 파일은 3 차원 분석 소프트웨어(Geomagic control X)를 사용하여 중첩되었다. 그리고 삭제량을 측정했다. 통계적 분석에서, 삭제량의 모든 값은 Wilcoxon signed rank 및 Kruskal-Wallis 테스트로 분석하였다(α = 0.05). 결과: 세 가지 자체 평가 방법은 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타냈다(P < 0.001). putty index 자가 평가 그룹은 디지털 자가 평가 방법보다 교육 후 오차의 감소가 더 컸다. 결론: 이 연구의 한계 내에서, 학생들은 세 가지 자기 평가 방법에 따라 치아 삭제 능력의 개선에 유의한 차이가 있음을 보였다.
