The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of training and use of worked-example on chemical problem-solving learning. Schema acquisition and rule automation are the basic components of skilled problem-solving, which are dependent on appropriately focused attention and sufficient cognitive resources. Training and use of worked-example facilitate schema acquisition and rule automation, so improve problem-solving learning. The subjects of this study were 60 high school students. The average age was 17 years old. Then, they were randomly assigned to each groups and the chemical reaction problems used as experimental materials. The independent variables of this study were training and use of worked-examples and dependent variables were time for solution and the number of error. The results of this study were as follows; 1. The worked-example groups spent significantly less time on solution for acquisition problems than the conventional problem groups. 2. The long-acquisition groups spent significantly less time on solution for acquisition problems than the short-acquisition groups. 3. The modified worked-example groups did not spend significantly less time on solution for acquisition problems than the worked-example groups.

This study has two goals. The first goal is to investigate whether worked examples are effective in the ill-defined domain with on-line learning and the second goal is to find out which components (conceptual or procedural knowledge) of worked examples are effective factor at the given learning environment. We carried out three experiments in which Korean undergraduate or graduate students were working in three or four conditions of worked examples (CWE, PWE, CPWE, or the control group). While experiment 1 conducted in on-line learning environment did not find any effect and difference among groups and also any logical reason for those results, experiment 2 conducted in completely controlled laboratory setting with less knowledgeable students showed the clear difference among groups by the order CPWE, PWE, and CWE. Experiment 3 in which highly knowledgeable and motivated students were presented the same materials in more controlled on-line learning environment indicated the difference among groups by the order CWE, CPWE, and PWE. The results were discussed within the framework of cognitive load theory.

The purpose of this study is to investigate students' thinking and understanding through working on Worked-out Examples on numbers and operations, specifically, radical and real numbers and operations in the middle grades. For this purpose, we developed a set of Worked-out Examples; middle school students independently worked on them. Then two students were interviewed. These data were analyzed by using the framework of mathematical proficiency. The data analysis suggested that the students seemed to go through the processes involving a combination of understanding and computation, computation and reasoning, and understanding, computation and reasoning. Also, it appeared that most of the students have difficult solving problems involving with radical and real numbers in related to strategic competence.

The purpose of this study was to develop the problem solving instruction facilitating novice learner to represent the problem. For the purpose, we mainly focused on three aspects of problem solving. First, learner should represent the targeted problem and its solutions for problem solving. Second, from crucial notions of cognitive load theory, learner's mental load should be optimized for problem representation. Third, for optimizing students' mental load, experts may support making their thinking more visible and mapping from their intuition to expert practice. We drew the design principles as follows. First, since providing worked examples for the targeted problem has been considered to minimize analogical errors as well as reduce cognitive load in problem representation at line of problem solving and instructional research, it is needed to elaborate the way of designing. The worked example alternatively corresponds to expert schema that consists of domain knowledge as well as strategies for expert-like problem representation and solution. Thus, it may help learner to represent what the problem is and how to solve it in problem space. Second, principle can be that expert should scaffold learner's self-explanations. Because the students are unable to elicit the rationale from worked example, the expert's triggering scaffold may be critical in that process. The unexplained and incomplete parts of the example should be completed not by expert's scaffold but by themselves. Critical portion of the expert's scaffold is to explain about how to apply and represent the given problem, since students' initial representations may be reached at superficial or passive pattern of example elaboration. Finally, learner's mental model on the designated problem domain should be externalized or visualized for one's reflection as well as expert's scaffolding activities. The visualization helps learner to identify one's partial or incorrect model. The correct model of learner could be constructed by expert's help.

Flood routing is one of the most important engineering problems for the design of a spillway, and the procedures for the routing should be thoroughly understood by the engineers engaged in the planning of a spillway. There are many methods for the flood routing such as Muskingum, Steinberg, Puis, Holton, Goodrich, Rutter, Graves, Snyder, etc., which are being used in many countries. This article introduces the theory of the modified PuIs Method in detail which is exclusively being used in the Bureau of Reclamation, Department of Interior, U.S.A. Also, this article includes a routing example worked by the writter for the Ee-dong Reservoir of the Ki-ho Irrigation Association. in Kyong-gi Province.

The use of post-compressed plates (PCP) to strengthen preloaded reinforced concrete (RC) columns is an innovative approach for alleviating the effects of stress-lagging between the original column and the additional steel plates. Experimental and theoretical studies on PCP-strengthened RC columns have been presented in our companion papers. The results have demonstrated the effectiveness of this technique for improving the strength, deformability and ductility of preloaded RC columns when subjected to axial or eccentric compression loading. An original and comprehensive design procedure is presented in this paper to aid engineers in designing this new type of PCP-strengthened RC column and to ensure proper strengthening details for desirable performance. The proposed design procedure consists of five parts: (1) the estimation of the ultimate load capacity of the strengthened column, (2) the design of the initial pre-camber displacement of the steel plate, (3) the design of the vertical spacing of the bolts, (4) the design of the bearing ends of the steel plates, and (5) the calculation of the tightening force of the bolts. A worked example of the design of a PCP-strengthened RC column is shown to demonstrate the application of the proposed design procedure.

This paper deals with a problem of choosing an optimum inspection period for an equipment with two stages of failures. Stage I failure which can be detected only through inspection detenorates the equipment and causes critical stage II failure after a random period of time. The expected average cost function is obtained and an optimum inspection policy is discussed. A numerical example is also worked out.

A method to predict the dynamic roll stability of hard-chine planing craft is presented. Starting with the equation of motion, an equation governing small roll perturbations is developed. The roll restoring moment acting on the hull is evaluated by considering “static”and dynamic contributions. The contribution of rudders and skegs, which is significant for this type of craft, is also determined. A worked example is presented to show how the method can be used to find the maximum center of gravity height for transverse stability.
