The current study aims to identify factors associated with private tutoring of college students in Korea. For this purpose, this study used the Korean Education and Employment Panel survey, which contains items regarding whether or not college students receive private tutoring as well as the monthly costs of private lessons. The current study focuses on private English lessons due to the very low response rates of other types of private tutoring. For the analysis, the 5th wave of KEEP collected in 2008 was selected, and a Heckman selection model was employed, including three categories of variables: individual, school, and parent/household factors. The results have revealed that for the selection model (receiving private English tutoring or not), having received private lessons in high school, gender, and level of satisfaction regarding the respondent's current university were significant. In terms of the outcome model (cost for private English tutoring in college), university admission type (rolling vs. regular), living with parents, school type (4-yr university vs. others), being in debt to cover private lesson fees in high school, and monthly household income had significant effects. This article also discusses the results and implications for future research and policy makers.

In this study, we conducted eight reciprocal peer tutoring classes where each student took either role of a tutor or a tutee to study covariational reasoning in ninth graders. Students were given the opportunity to teach their peers with their covariational reasoning as tutors, and at the same time to learn covariational reasoning as tutees. A heterogeneous group was formed so that scaffolding could be provided in the teaching and learning process. A total of eight reciprocal peer tutoring worksheets were collected: four quantitative graph type questions and four questions of the qualitative graph to the group. The results of the analysis are as follows. In reciprocal peer tutoring, students who experienced a higher level of covariational reasoning than their covariational reasoning level showed an improvement in covariational reasoning levels. In addition, students enhanced the completeness of reasoning by modifying or supplementing their own covariational reasoning. Minimal teacher intervention or high-level peer mediation seems to be needed for providing feedback on problem-solving results.

The purpose of this study is to synthesize a comprehensive and general conclusion about the effects of mathematics classes using peer tutoring on the cognitive (mathematics learning achievement) and affective domains. For this purpose, a total of 61 individual studies were meta-analyzed in this study to calculate the effect size, measuring the strength of the relationship between mathematics classes using peer tutoring and either the cognitive or affective domain. As a result of this study, it was confirmed that mathematics classes using peer tutoring generally have a medium effect size in both cognitive and affective domains. Also, it was found that level of school, type of student, learning location, class time, tutor education or prior training are significant variables that affect the impact of mathematics classes using peer tutoring on the cognitive and affective domains. These results suggest specific ideas on how to design and operate peer tutoring in school mathematics classes on the basis of different variables.

Small Group Collaborative Instruction in school settings has been endorsed by many educational experts over the years. Some studies found that learners greatly benefit from one another through communication and interaction with their peers. These studies previously indicated improvement of a learner‘s academic ability as well as the application of the affective domain when using this type of instruction. Lower-level students with limited mathematical abilities improved their problem-solving and conceptual thinking skills when tasked to work with other learners. On the other hand, the effectiveness of this process was questioned to be less evident with higher-level performers. Therefore, this study was designed to observe the efficacy of Small Group Collaborative Instruction on higher-level students and to explore their learning process as they interact with and teach lower-level students. This study observed that higher-level students use high-level mathematical thinking skills when helping lower-level students, and they improved problem-solving ability as well as communication skills.

According to the increasing of the internet infrastructure and growth of contents technology, the users can access an education service at anytime and anywhere. In a field of English education, especially, internet technology has enabled learners to communicate with their teachers and multimedia contents technology has been able to provide learner not only lots of interests, but also good effect on English learning. In this paper, we propose a method diagnosing learner's level by using some question-items, which consist of item's type and item's function. Futhermore, the proposed system can support three devices which are PC, PDA, and Mobile Phone on wired and wireless internet communication environments. Also, the system provides multimedia contents including flash movies, image, and audio contents. We have applied the system into real classroom, and we verified that the question-items that system provides has no problem, and our method could improve each learner skill on English education. Therefore, we expect that learner who uses the proposed system will get level-based English learning service at anytime and anywhere.

The traditional intelligent teachable system has mainly focused on knowledge and cognition. It has overlooked motivational aspects of learners. Motivation is an important factor in learning making learners to have interests in a given task and persist it. Although the systems include cognitive as well as motivational factors, the effects of ITS on interest are not equivalent depending on individual characteristics. This study is to investigate how influence learners' response patterns to their interests and also examined effects of individual characteristics on interest in teachable agent (TA). In this experiment, we used KORI which is a new type of ITS that learner teach computer agent based on the instructional method of learning by teaching'. In the beginning of experiments, metacognition, achievement goal orientation and self-efficacy were measured as individual characteristics. Then, participants were asked to use KORI at home during 10 days. After using KORI the level of interest were measured. The result showed that metacognition was positively related with interest, whereas performance goal orientation and mastery goal orientation were negatively related to interest. It suggests t hat different individual characteristics should be considered to promote learners' intrinsic motivation in TA.

This study analyzed the trend and problems in the design of contents developed by teachers, and suggested strategies for improvement. It analyzed the contents ranked as the first level in the Research Competition on Educational Informatization for the last 3 years. Concerning the 8 types of instructional activities and the 6 types of knowledge acquisition, most contents took limited types(i.e., the individual tutoring type, the concept learning type and the principle learning type). In addition, when the contents were evaluated according to the quality certification criteria for educational software, it was found that the quality level of the design was low in many criteria. When the content analysis was applied for the in-depth analysis of design characteristics, various problems were found in the areas such as evaluation, feedback and learning objectives. Also other common problems were found in the design areas such as level-based differentiated learning, interaction between students and contents, presentation of text and narration, utilization of information on a student, screen design, the content level appropriate for students. In relation to the problems found from the analysis, some strategies for improvement were suggested concerning the following topics: question selection and guidance for evaluation, content and types of feedback, statement of learning objectives, selection of content, interaction, and screen design.
