Natural numbers have not yet been studied adequately on the aspect of its historical development in spite of its mathematical and educational importance. This article studied the historical development of natural number concept, that is, its historical meaning in the mathematical development process and influence of cultural and social element in relation with way of understanding number. From these examinations, we identified some characteristics in the history of natural number concept.

Chemical reactions in cells are so complicated and abstract that students have difficulty in understanding them. In this study, classes with the application of systematic analogies used at the interpretation of experimental results were taught to 10th-grade students in order to help them to understand the concept of enzymes, which play an important role in chemical reactions in cells. Effects of the classes on their understanding of the concept of enzymes and the role of systematic analogies were analyzed. The gap of understanding between the test group and the control group was significant at 0.05, indicating that systematic analogies are effective for students' understanding of the concept of enzymes. Looking into the concept of enzymes by individual element, the effect of systematic analogies was shown to be large for equilibrium-like processes, such as the enzyme structure change caused by temperature and pH; and the continuous and random actions of enzymes, which students have difficulty in understanding. For these processes, systematic analogies played a positive role in improving their conceptual status. The visualizations and familiarity of analogs increased their intelligibility regarding the concept of enzyme. Also, the systematic analogies increases their plausibility by helping to connect phenomena, taking place in the enzyme reaction experiments, with scientific concepts as scaffold. Accordingly, it was possible to explain experimental results as scientific concepts in a consistent manner. In addition, analogies familiar to students played a positive role from the affective perspective by promoting students' interest and helping them to approach hard scientific concepts.

수학의 가장 기본적인 요소인 수 개념과 감각의 형성과정에서 자리값에 대한 이해는 필수적이다. 또한 자리 값의 개념을 지도하기 위해서는 수와 연산지도가 통합되어야 하며, 논리적 사고력을 신장의 한 요소인 계산 알고리즘이 유의미한 학습되기 위해서는 자리값에 대한 이해가 바탕이 되어야 한다. 수에 대한 개념적 지식이 불충분한 상태에서 양을 수치화 하거나 지필 위주로 계산 알고리즘을 기계적으로 적용함으로 해서 발생하는 수와 연산학습의 결손을 줄이기 위해 본 연구에서는 수 개념과 감각을 기르기 위해 자리값 지도 방안에 대해서 알아보고자 한다.

디자이너들이 3ds max를 어렵게 느끼는 것은 학습량이 많기도 하지만 근본적인 이유는 이해가 어렵다는 점 때문이다. 더욱이 직장생활을 하다보면 학습시간이 많지 않기 때문에 아예 중간에 포기하는 경우가 많다. 이를 해결하기 위해서는 기본개념을 먼저 이해해야 할 것이다. 기본 흐름을 이해하면 응용기술은 쉽게 습득할 수 있을 것이기 때문이다. 이에 우리는 2회에 걸쳐 3ds max의 기본적인 제작개념을 배웠다. 이번 호는 마지막단계로 지금까지 배운 개념들을 실제로 어떻게 적용되는지 배워보도록 하겠다. 이 전에 알아둘 것은 이번 내용은‘예제 따라하기’식 설명이 아니라, 개념을 토대로 제작되는 과정의 흐름을 익히는 것이다. 만일 툴 사용법과 같은 테크닉적인 학습을 원한다면 차라리 서점에 있는 좋은 학습서를 통해 익히는 것이 좋을 것이다.

웹 관련 기술의 발전과 더불어 정보시스템의 개발에서 기계가 자동 처리할 수 있는 데이터의 기술 방법으로 온톨로지의 사용이 보편화되고 있다. 온톨로지는 특정 영역의 개념과 그들간의 관계를 단순 명료하게 기술한다. 지식 발견을 위한 도메인 온톨로지 구축은 도메인의 이해, 데이터의 이해, 테스크의 이해, 온톨로지 학습, 온톨로지 평가, 정제 등 다단계를 통해 완성되나 전문성이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 학습 기반 도메인 온톨로지 구축방법을 제안하고 건강데이터를 위한 온톨로지 구축에서 응용하였다. 제안된 학습 기반 온톨로지 구축 방법은 건강데이터의 세부 영역별 개념과 관계를 밝히는데 유용하였다.

A good understanding of how gifted science students understand physics is important to developing and delivering effective curriculum for gifted science students. This dissertation reports on a systematic investigation of gifted science students' reasoning model in learning physics. An analysis of videotaped class work, written work and interviews indicate that I will discuss the framework to characterize student reasoning. There are three main groups of students. The first group of gifted science students holds several different understandings of a single concept and apply them inconsistently to the tasks related to that concept. Most of these students hold the Aristotelian Model about Newton's second law. In this case, I define this reasoning model as the manifold model. The second group of gifted science students hold a unitary understanding of a single concept and apply it consistently to several tasks. Most of these students hold a Newtonian Model about Newton's second law. In this case, I define this reasoning model as the coherence model. Finally, some gifted science students have a manifold model with several different perceptions of a single concept and apply them inconsistently to tasks related to the concept. Most of these students hold the Aristotelian Model about Newton's second law. In this case, I define this reasoning model as the coherence model.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of high school students' conceptual understanding about minerals and rocks. A questionnaire was developed to examine students' conceptions of minerals and rocks. The data were collected from 93 students in 10th and 119 students in 11th grades in a high school. The result showed that students' understanding of minerals and rock was on the moderate level. The 10th grade students showed a relatively lower level of understanding about igneous rocks while the degree of the 11th graders' understanding about certain concepts related with melting point in the rock domain was a little bit lower than the average. Although the understanding levels between the two grade levels were similar, there were some items for which students understanding seemed to be more sophisticated with the grade. In the questions about the characteristic of basalt surface, however, the frequencies of non-scientific conceptions were not decreased, rather increased along with the grade. It was also found that the conceptions students acquired from other science lessons as well as earth science classrooms did rather interfere with students' construction of the scientific concepts of minerals and rocks even though sometimes they were helpful for learning. It was suggested that the teachers should understand that some specific terms in earth science have different meanings as they were used in other subjects.

This study investigated the effects of computer-assisted instruction adapting to the level of students' conceptual understanding upon students' conceptual understanding, retention of conceptions, learning motivation, and perception about computer-assisted instruction in concept learning. 94 seventh grade students from a coed middle school in Seoul were randomly assigned to control, CAI, adaptive CAI groups, and were taught about 'motion of molecules' for 7 class periods. Two-way ANCOVA results revealed that the scores of a conception test and a learning motivation test for the adaptive CAI group were significantly higher than those for the control group. The scores of a retention test of conceptions for the adaptive CAI group were significantly higher than those for other two groups. There were no significant interactions between the instruction and the level of previous achievement in the scores of the conception test, the learning motivation test, and the retention test of conceptions. The perception about computer-assisted instruction for the students of the adaptive CAI group were more positive than those for the students of the CAI group.

The purpose of this study was to examine How the exploratory activities using Excel and GSP which are exploratory software, in learning analytic geometry affected on the underachievers' analytic geometry concept development process. The subjects of 5 students who received the 8th~9th grades from their examination of the last semester, participated in a total of 7 units based on Skemp's intelligent learning model. The results of the study showed that there were two important cases found to nearly achieve the category $R_2$. One was reflective thinking could happen through exploratory software in category $R_1$. The other was the exploratory activities which could have the same effectiveness as the relational understanding in category $I_2$, as Skemp mentioned that there is a room to be achieved in the elementary level when such relational understanding is achieved.
