This study was designed to investigate the relations of motivation to related variables, and the motivation by student's variables basically through measure of motivation system about science learning. For this, 496 fourth-grade students and 425 eighth-grade students were required to accomplish a questionnaire on behavioral inhibition/activation system about science learning (SL-BIS/BAS), and self-efficacy. Based on these materials, SLBIS/BAS by student's variables and relations between the system to self-efficacy were analyzed. The result of this study shows the following:First, the sensitivity about SL-BIS in the eighth-grade was higher than in the fourth-grade. But sensitivity about SLBAS and self-efficacy in the eighth-grade was lower than in the fourth-grade Hence, the difference in sensitivity about SL-BIS/BAS agree with difference in motivation. Second, there were low negative correlation with SL-BIS and self-efficacy, and positive correlation with SL-BAS and self-efficacy. In addition, two systems account for 41% of self-efficacy, it showed that SL-BIS/BAS relates to self-efficacy. Through the results of this study, relations of motivation to related variables, and the motivation by student's variables were identified. These results would be helpful for teachers to understand the difference about motivation by students' variables and to make a plan for the appropriate strategies for learners.

Recently, the rabid development of information technology has brought enormous changes in education. Consolidation of communications and multimedia technologies are enabling the new educational paradigm such as distance learning and virtual education. Furthermore, many studies in the education engineering field report that teaching using multimedia technologies more enhances students' performance than the traditional instructor-teaching method. However, little research regarding the education using multimedia has been done in the MIS filed. None of multimedia-related studies could be found in the top-ranked MIS journals published in Korea for the last five years, and only a few studies were found even worldwide. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to investigate which features of multimedia software are most important to enhance the teaching results of students. From the previous research, we found out the specific features of the educational multimedia software which are considered to affect the students'performance, and defined the research variables related to those educational software features. And, based on the constructivism and motivation theory of the education engineering field a theoretical research model and research hypotheses were developed. Perceived usefulness of the class and a student's perceived interests in the class were used as surrogate variables to measure teaching performance. Total 277 students participated separately in one of the two multimedia classes which have continued for three weeks. One was C programming language class and the other was multimedia CD-title development class. Each student listened for the multimedia session of the class using multimedia software and, at the end of the multimedia session, answered the survey questionnaire. The results of the study show that motivation to the class and the contents of education were statistically significant to the students'performance in the class. That implies, not only in the traditional instructor-teaching method but also in the multimedia class, that the contents of education itself and student's motivation to the class are most important to raise instructional results.

Purpose - Universities are placing a greater emphasis on relationship management as a source of competitive advantage due to increasingly competitive environments and social changes. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationships among education service quality, relationship quality, and relationship performance from the perspective of service distribution. In other words, this study is focused on the role of education service quality with regard to relationship management. In this study, education service quality is divided into lecture, job assistance, student-faculty interaction, student-student interaction, facility welfare, and scholarship welfare quality components; relationship quality is composed of satisfaction and commitment; and relationship performance is divided into recommendation and defection intentions. Research design, data, and methodology - This study aims to identify how the various elements of education service quality affect satisfaction. Further, it aims to test the relationships among satisfaction, commitment, recommendation intentions, and defection intentions. Distribution and marketing students were randomly selected for the experiment. Out of the 380 administered questionnaires, a total of 361 respondents provided complete and usable data. The sample consisted of 232 males (64.3%) and 129 females (35.7%). The variables of the proposed model were measured through assessments that were measured on a 5-point Likert scale. Using Lisrel 8.7, a structural model was analyzed and the path coefficients were estimated. Results - The overall fit of the model was acceptable (χ2=1121.8 (df=603, P=0.00), GFI=0.967, NFI=0.974, CFI=0.981, RMR=0.021). The results generally supported the hypothesized relationships of the proposed model, except for Hypothesis 1. First, lecture, job assistance, student-faculty interaction, student-student interaction, and facility welfare quality were revealed to have positive effects on satisfaction. In particular, lecture and facility welfare quality had the strongest effects on satisfaction. However, scholarship welfare quality did not significantly affect satisfaction; this means that Hypothesis 3-2 was not supported. Second, satisfaction was positively related to commitment and recommendation intentions but it was negatively related to defection intentions. Third, commitment was positively related to recommendation intentions but it was negatively related to defection intentions. Conclusions - This study emphasizes the influence of education service quality on satisfaction in the long-term. In addition, this research has the following implications for university relationship management. First, the findings suggest that the various dimensions of education service quality have differing effects on satisfaction. In particular, lecture and facility welfare quality are found to be the most important factors in increasing the level of satisfaction. Therefore, university managers need to prioritize enhancing lecture quality and upgrading educational facilities. Second, satisfaction also improves through job assistance systems and opportunities for social interactions. Therefore, university managers should reinforce their job skills programs and should provide opportunities for social relationships to develop. Finally, it is important for university managers to take a relationship approach to maximizing relationship performance. Therefore, university managers should work to increase student recommendations and prevent their defections based on satisfaction and commitment.

Previous studies on user training have largely focused on assessing models which describe the determinants of information technology usage or examined the effects of training on user satisfaction, productivity, performance, and so on. Scant research efforts have been made, however, to examine those effects of training by using theoretical models. This study presented a conceptual models to predict intention to use information technology and conducted an experiment to understand how training for computer skill acquisition affects primary variables of the model. The data were obtained from 32 student subjects of an experimental group and 31 students of a control group, and the information technology employed for this study was a university electronic mail system. The study results revealed that attitude toward usage and perceived behavioral control helped to predict user intentions ;; outcome expectations were positively related to attitude toward usage ; and self-efficacy was positively related to perceived behavioral control. The hands-on training for the experimental group led to increases in perceived ease of use, self-efficacy and perceived behavioral control. The changes in those variables suggest more causal effects of user training than other survey studies.

Deviation behavior of adolescents is often expressed as clothing behavior being against the social or school rules. To understand the relationship between social variables and clothing behavior of adolescents, the study investigated the effect of social variables on the deviation attitude and behavior related to clothing. Survey was utilized to collect the data and subjects were 411 female high school students. Regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The results were as follows : The closer relationship female high school students had with their parents, the more negative attitude they took toward clothing deviation and the less they committed the deviant behaviors related to clothing. The results explained that the close relationships with adolescents and their parents kept adolescents from committing the deviant behaviors related to clothing. The subjects who were interested in studying and well adapted for their school life, not only took a negative attitude toward clothing deviation but also committed the deviant behaviors related to clothing less than the other subjects did. The level of social deviation of their friends had an effect on the attitude and experience toward clothing deviation more than the relationship with their parents or school life did. The understanding of the relationship between social variables and clothing deviation would help to decrease the clothing deviation of adolescents by controling the social variables.
