Operating Systems is a discipline which handles abstract concepts and techniques. However, most of OS courses have been textbook-oriented theoretical classes. Theoretical classes lead to the decline in the understanding of a lecture, and hurt their concentration. Many instructors have tried to make use of educational tools to help students understand lectures and arouse interests. This paper describes the design and implementation of a CPU scheduling simulator which shows the operation of process scheduling algorithms visually. The academic achievement evaluation for 2010's students and 2011's and t-test results show that the differences of the correct answer ratio for the exam about CPU scheduling algorithms are meaningful. The survey shows that the simulator is useful as an educational tool which causes the interests and enhances the understanding of a lecture, this teaching method is effective to develop problem solving skills.

In this paper, both content analysis and Romey analysis were employed to analyze 'Basic Information Technology' textbooks in technical high schools. Not only was the content analysis employed to study the organization and contents of the textbooks, but also the Romey analysis was applied so as to determine inquisitive tendency on four factors - text, data, activity and evaluation. The results from content analysis showed that the total number of pages, reading material, the number of concepts introduced in each section, and the use of application software demonstrated a discrepancy among textbooks. Also, Romey analysis showed that while the section 'text' was written with relatively low inquiry tendency for its authoritative tone, two textbooks showed high inquisitive tendency for section 'activity'. Finally, based on the obtained results, the ways to improve 'Basic Information Technology' textbooks were proposed.

The purpose of the research undertaken for this paper was to demonstrate the effects of WBI on students' achievement and their reactions. WBI was adapted for use on the lesson Theme of Poems in Korean textbook for Middle School second graders. Hypothesis 1 was that there would be meaningful differences in students' achievement between the experimental group using WBI and the controlled group in a traditional instructive class. And the statistical calculations showed that the experimental group produced larger numbers in terms of both the average and standard deviation. Hypothesis 2 was that there would be the more highly rated outcomes from the experimental group applying WBI for students' interest, understanding, and concentration. The responses to a Questionnaire concerning stated items showed significant differences in favor of WBI class. Based on these analyses, this thesis represents an effort to potential application of WEI to learning of Poems, in light of research evidence that reveals its respective effect to further students' achievement and interest.

This study investigated how high school students predict the rule, the sum of sequence for the concept of sequence, for the given patterns based on inductive approach using computers that provide dynamic functions and materials that are visual. Students for themselves were able to induce the formula without using the given formula in the textbook. Furthermore, this study examined how these technology and materials affect students' understanding of the concept of actual infinity for those who have the concept of the potential infinity which is the misconception of infinity in a infinity series. This study shows that students made a progress from the concept of potential infinity to that of actual infinity with technology and materials used I this study. Students also became interested in the use of computer and the visualized materials, further there was a change in their attitude toward mathematics.

The marine life culture contents added with fun and learning factors are created in a 3D space, and the development of augmented reality contents concerning marine life resources in islands and the utilization method of experience-based learning are proposed. As a WYSIWYG-based authoring tool, an augmented reality authoring tool was made to easily use a authoring tool through a node structure and drag & drop. Marine life contents add the animation effect through a marker and event factors such as the change of modeling data, and also, they support real experience-based learning with the narration of marine life. Based on around 50 species of marine animals augmented reality contents, a marine animal AR book can be utilized as a textbook for elementary school classes, and as a 3D image education utilizing augmented reality, it enhances a learning effect by allowing realistic observation, various ways of thinking, and the maximum flow.

The animated discussion about mathematical modeling that had studied consistently in Korea since 1990s has flourished, because mathematical modeling was involved in the teaching-learning method to improve problem solving competency on 2015 reformed mathematics curriculum. In an attempt to re-examine the educational value and necessity of application to school education field, this study was to review the literature of mathematical modeling in mathematical competencies perspective. As a result, mathematical modeling could not only be involved the components of problem solving competency, but also support other competencies; reasoning, creativity-amalgamation, data-processing, communication, and attitude -practice. In this regard, This paper suggested the necessity of the discussion about the position of mathematical modeling in mathematical competencies and the active use of mathematical modeling tasks in mathematics textbook or school classes.

In this study, we conducted a textbook analysis and a conceptual test in order to investigate misconceptions of preservice chemistry teachers in understanding motions of molecular gases. As a result, we found out that many of the general chemistry textbooks not only introduce motions of molecular gases by explaining basic conceptions and using simple models, but also omit the explanation on center of mass when dealing with rotational motion. The physical chemistry textbooks, however, mainly approach motions of molecular gases in terms of spectroscopy and use various models to explain more intensified concepts, referring the center of mass in rotational motions. Meanwhile, pre-service chemistry teachers' confidence and understanding in the motions of molecular gases were very low and pre-service teachers also had many misconceptions about them. We believe this is because they had a tendency to depend largely on their intuition based on the pre-conceptions and the visual materials in the textbooks.
