Cultural properties are valuable objects, which have exposed insevere environment and inherited for a long time but we don’t have correct information concerning materials, structure and skill of manufacture. Because the cultural properties have been destroyed by the deterioration elements as like wind, this must be carefully treated for investigation of exhibition and storage. Even if the observation is scientific research, we must not take actual sample from the object for obtaining information concerning the nature materials and skill of manufacture. so it is elementary principle to use non-destructive investigation method as analytical methods for cultural property. This contribution discusses the present condition and problem of X-ray fluorescence acting as a representative non-destructive investigation method and the difference of statistics to be connected with determination and finally explains the intend facts for analysis of data.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in motor cortical excitability during mental practice and action observation in subjects with forward head posture. Methods : This study was performed in two groups, a forward head posture group (n=17) and a normal posture group (n=17). Electroencephalography (EEG) was conducted to investigate cerebral cortex activity, and six electrodes were attached to Fp1, Fp2, C1, C2, C3, and C4 to measure the relative alpha power, relative beta power, relative gamma power, and mu rhythms. The subjects were requested to perform the four different conditions, which were eye opening, eye closing, mental practice, and action observation for 300 seconds. Results : The results showed that the relative alpha waves showed a significant difference between the normal and forward head posture groups in the C1, C2, C3, and C4 regions with the eyes open (p<.05). The relative beta waves also showed a significant difference between the two groups in the Fp1 and Fp2 regions during action observation (p<.05). The relative gamma waves were significantly different between the normal and forward head posture groups in the Fp1 and Fp2 regions during action observation (p<.05) in C1, C2, and C3 with eyes closed (p<.05) and in C1, C2, C3, and C4 with eyes open (p<.05). Conclusion : The results of this study showed that EEG change in the forward head posture group was different from that in the normal control group in action observation rather than in mental practice. Therefore, we are expected to provide a neurophysiological basis for applying action observation to motor skill learning during exercise for correcting forward head posture.

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of video modeling observational learning intervention on the learning and performance of a bowling skill in adolescents with intellectual disabilities. Thirty special middle school students whose ages ranged from 14 to 16 years were recruited from Daegu, Korea. Intellectual disabilities of the participants were assessed by Korean version of the Wechsler intelligence scale for adolescent and a social maturity scale. During the experiment, participants repeatedly watched the one-minute action observation film for three minutes before beginning each frame and played 60 frames. Statistical comparisons were performed using a 2 (groups) ${\times}$ 6 (trials) ANOVA, with repeated measures on the last factor of the acquisition stage (p<0.05). Factors of the retention stage scores were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. The sources of any significant main effects were tested using a Tukey's HSD (honest significant difference) approach. SPSS 21.0 was used for statistical analyses. The performance scores of the action observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group. The findings showed that observational learning in the form video modeling has the potential to enhance acquisition and learning of a bowling sport skill in intellectual disability individuals; however, these findings are limited to adolescents with moderate intellectual disabilities.

The purpose of this research is to analyze training needs for skill assessor's competency of vocational education teachers in Korea. This research was conducted based on Russ-Eft's competency model for skill assessor. Data were gathered from 234 vocational education teachers over the country, and final respondents were 158 males and 73 females. As a result of analysis, reliability for expert (needs score 2.51), establishment for assessment management plan (needs score 2.11), management plan (needs score 2.08), and effective collaboration (needs score 2.07) have high developmental needs. On the other hand, recognition of a variety intention (needs score 1.01), observation of ethical standard (needs score 1.24), and personal relationship (needs score 1.76) have low developmental needs.

The purpose of this research is to develop standards with which we can design an instrument to assess classifying inquiry skills by observing students' behavior and reported outcome which is not the paper and pencil test. This research is focused on developing a standard for analysis of classifying ability among research functions. To identify classifying inquiry skills, standards from classifying behaviors were comparing ways with other cards and using information included in the cards; Standards selected from the final reports were the appropriateness, inconsistency and hierarchy of the classification outcome. The standards were initially selected during the class with picture cards printed various birds appearances on the front side and their traits on the back which was specially designed among sixth graders. The picture cards prepared with plant leaves and stems had designed to identify whether standards was effective to assess student's classifying ability. The standards was an effective tool to assess student's classifying inquiry skills.

A major problem of stopwatch time study is how to do for the accurate and consistent performance rating, which is one of the critical variables to determine the accuracy of work measurement and should be still dependent upon time observer's judgement. Therefore the time observer's ability for the performance rating is very important, and must be improved by correct training method and procedure. This paper developed a new benchmark and benchmark-observation method for the effective performance rating training of assembling and machining operations. The trainees' ability in the accuracy and consistency of the performance rating ,improved significantly after being trained by subject method. The percentage improvement in rating accuracy and consistency values was 34.7% and 49% respectively. In addition, benchmark-practice method for the performance rating training is not significant, so it is proofed that the skill of a certain operation is not important for the improvement of the rating ability.

This study primary aim is to investigate students' responses to experimental results which conflict with their preconceptions regarding electrical circuits. Eighty-eight students of both sexes were randomly selected from a science high school in Korea. They were questioned about their preconceptions regarding an electric circuit, and sixty-eight students with relevant misconceptions were selected. These students were presented with experimental results obtained by some other experimenter, and asked to interpret these results. The second aim of this study is to explore how students' responses vary according to the type of inquiry-skills required to obtain the result. To do this, two type of experimental results were developed: one obtained by observation and the other obtained by controlling variables. We found that many students doubted results for the simple reason that they conflicted with their preconceptions. They rejected results by mentioning other factors which could have affected the result, or simply by reiterating their preconceptions. This behaviour varied considerably by inquiry-skill type. 41% of students rejected conflictual result obtained by observation, but only 6% of students rejected results obtained by controlling variables.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the meaning and process of scientific observation. Hence, this study reviewed and discussed meanings and process of scientific observation described in philosophy, the philosophy of science and science education. Major researches on scientific observation are focused on a characteristic and type of scientific observation behavior. These research can suggest what is the characteristic of observation facts generated by observer. But it cannot show what is the meaning and process of scientific observation, it should be provide to students. According to the result in this study, scientific observation is affected by observer's subjective factors, such as experience, background knowledge, interpretation(not inference) and observation skill. All factor are integrated as an intellectual framework, and it is able to be changed by the observed facts. On the other hand, inference is excluded on scientific observation, but it have constantly affect on intellectual framework through feedback. This study on scientific observation provides a scaffold in various activities of scientific observation to be provided to students.

The objective of the present study is to develop statistical quantitative forecast model for PM10 concentration over Seoul. We used three types of data (weather observation data in Korea, the China's weather observation data collected by GTS, and air quality numerical model forecasts). To apply the daily forecast system, hourly data are converted to daily data and then lagging was performed. The potential predictors were selected based on correlation analysis and multicollinearity check. Model validation has been performed for checking model stability. We applied two models (multiple regression model and threshold regression model) separately. The two models were compared based on the scatter plot of forecasts and observations, time series plots, RMSE, skill scores. As a result, a threshold regression model performs better than multiple regression model in high PM10 concentration cases.
