SCE-UA(Shuffled Complex Evolution-University Arizona)기법은 최적해 탐색 알고리즘으로 개념적 강우유출 모형(conceptual rainfall runoff model)의 보정을 위한 도구로 개발되었다. SCE-UA기법은 메타휴리스틱 방법의 일종으로 최적해를 구하기 위하여 여러번 목적함수 값을 계산해야 한다. 이 때 목적함수 계산 횟수와 해의 수렴과 관련된 제어 매개변수가 존재하며, 사용자가 적절한 값을 입력해주어야 한다. 이 연구에서는 SCE-UA와 관련된 제어 매개변수의 기능에 대해서 검토하였다. 그리고 집합체 수의 변화에 따라서 검사함수인 Ackley function의 전역해를 얼마나 잘 탐색하는지 검토하였다. 검토 결과 랜덤 시드에 따라서 전역해 탐색 결과가 달라졌으며, 집합체의 수가 증가할수록 목적함수 계산 횟수는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 검사함수의 차원(결정 변수의 수)이 증가하면 전역해의 탐색률이 감소하며, 집합체의 수가 많아지면 전역해를 더 잘 찾는 경향이 나타나지만, 목적함수 계산 횟수는 더 많아지게 되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 2차원인 경우 집합체의 수가 7개 이상일 때 탐색 성공률은 90% 이상이 되었지만, 10차원인 경우 집합체의 수가 시험 최대값인 20개일 때의 전역해 탐색률은 37%에 그쳤다. 이 연구의 결과는 SCE-UA 기법의 설정 매개변수에 관한 기본 개념을 이해하고, 사용자가 설정 매개변수 선정 시에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

Objective : This study examined the test-retest reliability and interrater reliability of the Sensory Processing Scale for Children (SPS-C). Method : Senventy primary caregivers of children with sensory processing difficulties and 3 years old participated in the study. The subjects were recruited through child development centers, welfare centers, and acquaintances located in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Busan, and Gyeongsang-do. The test-retest reliability verification targeted 20 main caregivers of children with difficulty in sensory processing. Re-evaluation was performed within 7 to 14 days after the initial evaluation, and Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to confirm the relevance between the two time points, and the Intraclass correlation coefficient was used to confirm the degree of agreement. The interrater reliability verification was conducted with 18 primary caregivers and 18 subsidiary caregivers of children with sensory processing difficulties. Each caregiver evaluated the same child, and the Intraclass correlation coefficient was used to confirm the agreement between the two sets of caregivers. Results : The test-retest reliability was Pearson's correlation coefficient r=.914 and intraclass correlation coefficient ICC=.939, indicating a high level of relevance and agreement. The interrater reliability was an Intraclass correlation coefficient ICC=.727, which showed a moderate level of agreement, but the tactile area (ICC=.455) and proprioceptive area (ICC=.439) were not statistically significant and showed a low degree of agreement. Conclusion : Through this study, it was confirmed that the children's Sensory Processing Scale for Children (SPS-C) is a stable evaluation tool with test-retest reliability and interrater reliability verified, and it will be able to provide help in standardization studies for future clinical use.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of using the geometric manipulative for the development of spatial sense and thus to find out a better mathematics teaching and learning method that could help develop students' spatial senses. The two fifth grade classes were randomly chosen as an experimental group (31 students) and a control group (32 students), respectively. This study implemented nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design of quasi-experimental design. The test instrument used in this study was a spatial sense test. The pretest and posttest were implemented with the same instrument. In addition, their classes were observed and videotaped, and the data and their study activities were analyzed. In conclusion, first, the geometric manipulative-aided activities contributes to developing students' spatial senses and their two sub-factors involves perceptual consistency and perception of spatial relationship. Second, the activities of grasping the components of solid figures, sketches and development figures by using the geometric manipulative contribute to boost students' perceptual consistencies and their perceptions of spatial relationship.

The present study investigated the validity of a serious game named 'Draw Ttoring' developed for accessment of children's attention and tried to provide the basic information about it. To this goal, we tested it to 284 elementary school students in measuring various behavior data(reaction time, total playing time, correct rate, discrepancy between type of TMT). Futhermore, the behavior data was compared with academic achievement to see the external validity. In results, 'Draw Ttoring' showed various behavior data and correlation with academic achievement. In Type A of TMT, total time and reaction time had a correlation with academic achievement, while, in Type B of TMT, total time and correct rate did. Mental flexibility calculated by the discrepancy between Type A and Type B showed also the positive correlation with academic achievement. These results showed that the serious game named 'Draw Ttoring' can provide more various information about children attention and these can't be observed by traditional paper pencil test. Finally, serious game can provide an good alternative method to access children's cognition.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of digital co-teaching between teachers online on improving students' reading literacy. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, a pre-test was conducted on first-year high school students, and a post-test was conducted after conducting the co-teaching over two sessions. For statistical analysis, the data of 101 students with no missing values in pre- and post-tests were used. Through the OECD's PISA reading literacy evaluation framework and factor analysis, a reading literacy test tool consisting of expression, comprehension, and information literacy was developed and the degree of change in reading literacy was measured through a self-report with the tool. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the digital co-teaching had a statistically significant positive effect on the expression, comprehension and information literacy of high school students. This study is meaningful in that it shows that digital co-teaching can be applied as a way to improve reading literacy in PISA organized by the OECD.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how engineering design-based STEM research experience affects gifted students' creative engineering problem-solving propensity and attitude toward engineering. The students' creative engineering problem-solving propensity and attitude toward engineering were measured before and after the STEM research experience. The pre-/post-tests results were analyzed by paired t-test with the significance level of p <.05. The conclusions of the study are as follows: First, the engineering design based STEM research experience had a positive effect on the students' creative engineering problem-solving propensity. Over all, the average score of the creative engineering problem-solving propensity increased significantly (p <.05) after the STEM research experience. Second, the average score of gifted-students' attitude toward engineering had increased significantly after the integrated STEM research activities (p <.05). In addition, we analyzed the difference between pre-post results of both instruments based on the gifted students' desired career paths (natural science and engineering) and gender. The result shows that the students' career paths or gender did not affect the results in most of the sub-categories in both instruments. However, the STEM research experience had more positive effect on the female students than male students in term of their 'engineering design ability', which is one of the sub-categories of the creative engineering problem-solving propensity instrument.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the usefulness of the cognitive function test tool in the clinical or multi-life environment for the elderly and high-risk demented subjects after the development of the non-clinical dementia early diagnosis test content(Co-Wis) based on the contents of the International Clinical Data Standard(CDISC TAUG-Alzheimer's v 2.0, SDTMIG v3.3) And to verify the validity and reliability of the data. To do this, after searching for dementia diagnosis process, we developed a non-clinical dementia diagnosis content(Co-Wis) that can supplement the shortcomings of the existing paper test. We selected 30 subjects from elders who were over 60 years old and verified the validity of test and the reliability of retest among cognitive domains of the Korean MMSE-K, Seoul Neuropsychological Test(SNSB-II) and non-medication dementia diagnosis content(Co-Wis). As a result, we showed high correlation and reliability in all cognitive domains. However, the limitations of insufficient subjects and regional distribution were identified. Based on the results of the study, we discussed the necessity of supplementing and expanding further studies such as various methods of verifying validity and reliability.

It is more than 10 years since ICT training learning was introduced to educational curriculum, and it is now time for overall consideration about the result of the education. The most important difficulties that the teachers have are that there are big differences in the level of learning ability. The characteristics of ICT curriculum are its tool and stepwise progress. The main problem of a curriculum with such characteristics is with underachivers. To distinguish ICT underachivers, the present study was developed a distinction tool for investigation: The objects were the students in the 6th grade of the 4 elementary schools in Gyeonggi-do, and inquires were made to find out characteristics. Inquires were also made to the elementary school teachers in Goyang-city to find out the actual instructional situation. A teaching-learning system will be suggested to prevent the occurring of ICT underachivers by analyzing their characteristics. The system consists of a distinction examination module, a teaching-learning module and a feedback module, which are web-based, as well as an off-line actual class module. The purpose of the system is to prevent underachivers in ICT classes, so that the students' ability to utilize computer will be improved to a higher level.
