This paper reports the results of course restructuring employing design projects in an introductory mechanics of materials course at Pennsylvania State University. Unlike traditional lecture courses, students were encouraged to learn the rudiments of mechanical design and how materials standards, economics, manufacturing, environmental, legal (liability) and societal (safety) concerns relate to design. Through conducting collaborative design projects, the instructors helped students to acquire more advanced skills such as team-based decision making, integration and establishment of criteria, use of modern design theory, consideration of alternative solutions, and application of realistic constraints. In order to examine the impact of new course changes on students' learning, a survey was conducted in 1998 Fall semester. According to the results of survey analyses, students reported high values on this introductory mechanics of materials course. However, they did not give high values on the design projects. Rather, they preferred lecture sessions. Additionally, it was also found that students who earned higher grades from a prerequisite course(statics) showed lower values on the design projects. Implications for engineering educators and suggestions for future research studies were discussed.

The purpose of this study is to verify the prediction of mastery-approach goal orientation, task value, and self-regulated learning strategy on academic satisfaction and achievement of cyber engineering university students. For this study, 219 engineering students of H cyber university who enrolled in the spring semester of 2011 was chosen and completed web surveys. A hypothetical model proposed included mastery-approach goal orientation, task value, and self-regulated learning strategy as predictors, and academic satisfaction and achievement as criteria variables. The results of this study through multiple regression analysis indicated that task value(${\beta}$=.401) and self-regulated learning strategy(${\beta}$=.401) predicted significantly on academic satisfaction. In addition, self-regulated learning strategy(${\beta}$=.301) and mastery-approach goal orientation(${\beta}$=.196) predicted significantly on academic achievement. The result of this study suggested that mastery-approach goal orientation, task value, and self-regulated learning strategy should be considered for improving academic satisfaction and achievement in cyber engineering education.

The purpose of this convergence study was to examine the effects of smart learning on learner's participation, academic self-efficacy and task value in nursing education. The study was designed using a nonequivalent control group no-synchronized design. The subjects of this study consisted of 86 experimental group and 95 control group who were nursing students. Data were collected from March 2 to June 8. 2018. The data were analyzed using the spss 18.0 program to perform independent t-test. There were not statistically significant differences in learner's participation(t=1.065, p=.288) but were statistically significant differences in academic self-efficacy(t=2.668, p=.008) and task value(t=2.070, p=.040). Therefore, the smart learning was effective in increasing academic self-efficacy and task value for nursing students. The smart learning is expected to be useful as effective teaching and learning strategies in nursing education.

In Europe, the diversity in religions, cultures, languages and historical backgrounds is enormous. World War II and the Soviet Regime have played a large part in this and the flow of refugees from other continents increases the pluralism. How can religious education add to bridging between differences? The language across European countries is different, literally between countries, but also figuratively speaking and even inside individual countries. These differences occur in cultural sense and across age groups as well. Secondary education has the task to form young people to become firmly rooted people who can hold their own in society. It is essential that they learn to examine their own core values and their roots. Recognising their values should be a main focus of religious education. However, schools are currently accommodating increasing numbers of non-religious pupils. What role do religious values still play in this situation? How do pupils feel about active involvement in religious institutions, and about basing life choices on religious beliefs? Can other, non-religious values be detected which could form the basis for value-oriented personal formation? Research of these subjects has been ongoing in the Netherlands for more than twenty years and is currently being expanded to the Czech Republic and(former East) Germany. These are also secularized countries but have a very different history. Does the history and context of these countries play a role, and does this show in the values that are important to pupils? A comparative pilot study is being conducted as start of this broadening perspective geared towards greater insight into the values of pupils in these three European countries. This information helps to design appropriate new forms of religious value-oriented worldview education.

It is useless to say that time is precious and important. So it does when we emphasize the importance of studying the quality and efficiency of time in learning, especially in the learning of Mathematics. In this respect, this study aims to examine the overall structure of time application in the learning of Mathematics, understanding the state and problems of Mathematics education in respect of time application, and finally seeking to find the solutions for the problems. As a first step, the items below were examined for the solutions: First, the eight viewpoints of time in Mathematics education was examined and the meaning of each viewpoint was analysed. Second, the variables resulting from teachers was examined. The preconditions for mathematics education, the attitude towards Mathematics classes, viewpoints of mathematics, the forms of self-expression, the way of utterance can be considered as the variables mentioned above. Third, the variables resulting from students was examined. Learning attitude, specific activity(both meaningful and meaningless), practical uses of teaching tools, game activities, the ways of communication and problem solving can be examined as well. In conclusion, it needs to be stressed that Mathematics class should be the meaningful time for learners, parents, and teachers. The class should guarantee the satisfaction of the learners. In other words, even if physical time is applied the same to everyone, it may differ in degree of quality and value of time application according to the way one spends the time.

A nursing department of a university operates the curriculum called, "Introductory Computer Use" with its goal of achieving international certification MOS, which is caused by the result of course analysis and the easiness in getting a job overseas as a nurse. In this paper, we statistically analyze the relation among academic achievement level, task value recognition level, and learning satisfaction by using ICT-based questionnaire and SPSS/WIN 21.0. Finally, we suggest the ways to improve the class-quality and to achieve the class goals required by the course.

Teaching methods should focus on enabling the students to adopt an open mind towards new experiences and to be flexible to change. Moreover, their purpose lies in encouraging the students to build their ability to discern values so that they can make the right decisions when they are at a crossroad. However, traditional teaching methods were centered on textbooks and on the teachers. This type of teaching method needs to change so that the new teaching method will focus on the students themselves, taking levels of individual students into consideration to enable development of their creativity in line with the demands made during the 21st century, an era of information and globalization. Projected learning method is appropriate for the Physical Education (PE) classes where various activities aim to increase the level of cooperation among students and their investigative skills. Moreover, PE classes pay special attention to the practical aspect. Accordingly, this research makes recommendations for the class execution methods based on projected learning by improving the curriculum for the PE classes, and the effect of these methods are subject to verification.

국가개발연구원(KDI)에서는 새만금에 40MW 용량의 국산 풍력발전단지 조성을 위한 예비타당성 조사를 실시하였다. 본 사업에 대한 KDI의 비용편익 분석 결과 순 현재가치가 0보다 작고, B/C 비율은 0.73으로 경제적 타당성이 나타나지 않았다. 하지만 모든 비용과 편익을 화폐가치로 환산해 내는 비용편익분석은 여러 가지 외부효과로 인해 사업의 타당성 연구자들에 의해 주관적인 결과물이 나오기도 한다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 새만금 풍력발전 시범단지의 경제성 평가 재검토 연구를 실시하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존 경제성 평가 항목에 대하여 여러 가지 쟁점을 제시하고, 그 중에서 대기오염물질 저감 비용과 학습효과(learning effect)로 인한 비용 절감 편익을 추가적으로 산정하였다. 여기서 학습효과의 학습속도(learning rate) 를 세 가지 시나리오로 나누어 분석하였다. 두 가지의 추가 편익을 KDI의 기존 예비타당성 조사 분석에 추가한 순 현재가치는 상당한 양의 값이 나왔고, B/C 비율은 8.8 로 편익이 비용에 비해 크게 증가했다. 이러한 항목들의 포함 여부에 따라 타당성 결과가 현저하게 달라짐을 알 수 있다. 향 후 비용편익 분석이 정책 결정에 적절히 반영되기 위해서는 외부효과를 고려한 환경 비용, 그리고 학습효과와 같은 추가적인 사항들이 면밀히 검토되어야 한다. 시장에 기반하지 않은 이러한 외부효과로 인한 항목들은 대상과 시기에 따라 매우 다른 결과를 보여주기에 이에 대한 세부적인 연구가 필요한 시점이다.
