Mathematical ability is important for academic achievement and technological renovations in the STEM disciplines. This study concentrated on the relationship between neural basis of mathematical cognition and its mechanisms. These cognitive functions include domain specific abilities such as numerical skills and visuospatial abilities, as well as domain general abilities which include language, long term memory, and working memory capacity. Individuals can perform higher cognitive functions such as abstract thinking and reasoning based on these basic cognitive functions. The next topic covered in this study is about individual differences in mathematical abilities. Neural efficiency theory was incorporated in this study to view mathematical talent. According to the theory, a person with mathematical talent uses his or her brain more efficiently than the effortful endeavour of the average human being. Mathematically gifted students show different brain activities when compared to average students. Interhemispheric and intrahemispheric connectivities are enhanced in those students, particularly in the right brain along fronto-parietal longitudinal fasciculus. The third topic deals with growth and development in mathematical capacity. As individuals mature, practice mathematical skills, and gain knowledge, such changes are reflected in cortical activation, which include changes in the activation level, redistribution, and reorganization in the supporting cortex. Among these, reorganization can be related to neural plasticity. Neural plasticity was observed in professional mathematicians and children with mathematical learning disabilities. Last topic is about mathematical creativity viewed from Neural Darwinism. When the brain is faced with a novel problem, it needs to collect all of the necessary concepts(knowledge) from long term memory, make multitudes of connections, and test which ones have the highest probability in helping solve the unusual problem. Having followed the above brain modifying steps, once the brain finally finds the correct response to the novel problem, the final response comes as a form of inspiration. For a novice, the first step of acquisition of knowledge structure is the most important. However, as expertise increases, the latter two stages of making connections and selection become more important.

인공 지능 분야에서 특히 퍼지와 같은 기술은 전반적인 산업 자동화에 많이 사용되어 왔다. 퍼지 제어는 인간의 추론 과정을 모델링한 기술로서 인간에 유사한 결정 능력과 복잡하고 다양한 환경에 매우 효과적이다. 본 논문은 이러한 퍼지 제어의 장점을 연근해의 선박 자동 항해에 적용시켜 보았다. 심해에서는 공간상의 제약이 없기 때문에 선박의 자동항해는 원하는 목표지점까지 안전하게 운항할 수 있지만, 연근해안에는 심해와 달리 각종 장애물들(작고 큰 섬들과 해안, 연근해에 작업중인 선박들)이 있으며 이것들로 인한 충돌사고가 종종 발생하고 있는 실정이다. 그러므로 연근해안에서 보다 안전하고 자율적인 항해를 위해 인공 지능 기술인 퍼지 기술을 선박에 적용시켰다. 본 논문에서 제안된 다변수 퍼지 시스템을 2개의 서로 다른 동적 환경을 가지는 지형에 적용시켜 보았고, 그에 따른 실험들을 수행했을 때, 만족할만한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서, 본 논문에서 제안된 다변수 퍼지 제어시스템을 이용한 선박이 동적인 환경에서도 스스로 장애물을 인식하고 회피함으로 안전하게 연근해를 운항할 수 있음을 보였다.

최근 산업 현장에서 많은 안전사고가 일어나고 있고, 현장 노동력의 부족으로 무인 로봇 시스템들을 도입하는 등 다양한 변화를 맞이하고 있다. 이에 차세대 자동화 시스템은 보다 유연하고 지능적이어야 한다. AGV(Automatic Guided Vehicle)의 경우 실시간으로 변하는 현장에 대응하기 어렵고, 새로운 어플리케이션에 대한 제품개발의 어려움이 따른다. 이에 대한 대안으로 AGV 인식 스택을 재구축하여 인간과 동일한 공간인식 능력을 갖춘 AMR(Autonomous Mobile Robot)이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 SLAM과 ROS를 이용하여 AMR의 기능을 구축하였다. YD Lidar 센서와 SLAM을 이용하여 주변 환경을 지도화 하여 로봇의 현재 위치를 파악할 수 있도록 제작하였고, 직접 지도상의 최적 경로를 파악하여 주변 장애물을 회피하며 주행할 수 있음을 확인하였다. DC 모터의 응답 특성에 따라 주행 속도, 조향각 등을 제어할 수 있도록 구현하였다.

This study investigated elementary students' spatial thinking and visualization when they learned the shape of volcanoes. For this purpose we used GeoMapApp to design instruction program and assessment items. In the instruction, students were asked to connect the floor plan view of Jeju island with the cross-sectional view of the same figure producted by GeoMapApp. Then they were asked to classify four sets of pictures of volcanoes based on the similarities of figures, that is, dome-shaped and shield volcanoes. In the assessment students solved three questions which examined how they connected the plan view and cross-sectional profile of Kilauea, draw cross-sectional profile of Mt. Fuji, and distinguished a shield volcano and dome-shaped one. Students' discourse data during the class were analyzed according to the amount to showing their spatial thinking and visualization. The instruction program using GeoMapApp assisted students to facilitate their spatial thinking for understanding of volcanoes. The outcomes of assessment showed even elementary students had good spatial thinking and visualization. Therefore, we argued spatial thinking and visualization for geoscientific understanding need to be included in the national science curriculum for elementary students.

This study is a proposal, which is the trial to explicate, in neurology, on how critical thinking as a creative method of sciences functions. The creative methods of sciences, even at present, are mostly the hypothetical insistences concerning with the logical processes of researches suggested from the philosophers of science; Popper, Kuhn, Hempel, or Lakatos. These insistences do excavate what process or approach can be scoped out of scientists' creativity. I call the tendency or approach of the researches, "Process Approach of Creativity (PAC)". From my view point, any PAC trial does not concern with how creative theories can actually be invented. On the other hand, this study is focused on the philosophical thinking abilities of scientists who invented new great theories. They mostly had some experiences to study philosophy while studying their science fields, thus had critical thinking abilities on their studies. From my point of view, critical thinking in philosophy raised questions as to their fundamental and basic (old) concepts and principles, and thus gave them new creative theories. I will try to explain this from the point of neurophilosophy. From the perspectives coming from "the state space theory of representation" of Paul & Patricia Churchland, the pioneers of neurophilosphy, the "creative theories" are the networks of topographic maps giving new comprehensive explanations and predictions. From these perspectives, I presuppose that the attitude of critical questioning revises the old networks of maps with back-propagation or feedback, and thus, is the generative power of searching new networks of maps. From the presupposition, I can say, it is important that scientists reflect on the basic premises in their academic branches for issuing out extraordinary creativity. The critical attitude of philosophy can make scientists construct the maps of new conceptual scheme by shaking the maps of the old basic premises. From this context, I am able to propose "Critical Thinking Approach of Creativity (CTAC)".

The art appreciation education is emphasized to develope independent thought and upright value decision in the flood of various image medium. A experience of beauty and a express part related with the sentimental field is focused on directing in the seventh arts curriculum, too. Although the art appreciation education is emphasized, just expressive and functional art texture is still taught in the education spot up to now. Also a appreciative activity is limited simply to describe own feeling intuitionally ; time shortage, difficulty of analysis product, difficulty of guiding appreciation. In this paper I refer that analyze figurative factors of a art product, modify it by applying other program, compare with it and then I develope web base art appreciation system and apply it. As a result I get educational effect. When checking line, form, light and darkness, color, feeling, space and composition of external some factors in a product, formative sense and analytical appreciation is improved.

The current formal and memorized design repetition training and practice is wandering in the uniform flat design thinking expression. To change these two-dimensional current issues into a three-dimensional design method, set the direction for each grade level under the integrated convergence educational goal and carry out projects step by step to understand design, the principle of spatial composition, the introduction of traditional design history, and the overall design of craft design. Creative and practical skills such as approach should be cultivated. Designers can only be produced through systematic education and training. In order to lead society and succeed, a designer who has experienced solutions and countermeasures on how to adapt themselves to the demands of various changes in the times must come to the field. Education experts insisted on innovation of the organizational structure and subject of the education system, and emphasized the importance of education in response to the rapid pace of change in the 21st century. This study aims to propose an educational system that combines academic research with a structural approach to tasks by setting a project that reflects the needs of society for convergence practice in which design and adjacent disciplines are linked through understanding and analysis of these issues.

GIS is considered as a big industry or business in the field of applied sciences. Recently GIS market in Korea is growing rapidly for LBS, Telematics, Web-geographic information services. This paper attempts to focus on the interrelationship between GIS and geography, and the question of how geography emerged out of intellectual trends within GIS to examine possible contribution of geographers in GIS fields. The application of GIS appears to be largely technical in nature. It is important for the GIS operator and the consumer of GIS products to be aware of the geographical concepts that underpin GIS operations. Also it is seen that many departments of geography in Korea have attempted to actively adopt GIS into their education program, with aim to improve the status. GIS has promoted a shift towards applied geography from academic geography. GIS researchers and educators in geography are concerned not with technology, but with the basic concepts and the issues relating to its use, in comparison with other academic fields. It is the responsibility of geography community to make sure that our students receive a geographical education that includes problem-solving, critical thinking and technical capabilities. It is concluded that promoting GIS technology in geography curriculum is essential for the further expansion of geography within GIS and also for the survival of geography.

The present research explores the tendency of the items that require Place Location Knowledge (PLK) of the Korean Geography subject in the College Scholastic Ability Test. The major findings are as follows. First, the geographical regions of the items are spatially skewed, especially in the Yeongnam regions, which are tested more frequently compared to the others. Second, the fact-based items more concern with regionality such as geographic indication system and regional festivals. Third, the concept-based items can be divided into physical geography and human geography and there were four items related to economic geography. Fourth, students tend to find it challenging in the items asking PLK. The difficulty varies according to the type of items. The students find concept-based items which require high-order thinking more challenging. There is also differences identified between contents. For example, the section of physical geography, especially climatology-related, were considered the most challenging followed by those of economic geography. Finally, the differences in the rate of correct answer are associated with the scale of the regions covered in the items and students experienced more difficulty in the items asking more precise scale.

Furniture is an essential element in the area of human residence, and the necessity of system furniture suitable for the pursuit of unity in design, which clearly distinguishes the various and flexible arrangements and characteristics of space, is gradually expanding. The elderly population in Korea currently exceeds 15%, and is expected to be close to 40% by 2050. An increasing number of elderly generations are showing different behavioral patterns, such as sharing information, health care, and seeking independence from children. In order to maintain an independent daily life, a stable living environment has become essential, but as a result of a study that safety accidents caused by households increase due to a decrease in cognitive ability and physical ability, the need for a suitable household has increased. Therefore, the biological changes and characteristics of the elderly were investigated, and the concept definition, scope and limitations of system households were studied. In addition, by grasping the changes in the home appliance market and trends in the home appliance market, the design direction of system furniture required by the elderly was presented.
