The embedded system can be defined as a special purpose system with a built-in computer, and has a wide variety of applications such as home appliances, office equipment, and weapon systems. A well-defined taxonomy in a specific field is advantageous for learning and education, however, the classification scheme for embedded systems is difficult to find. In this paper, we propose a taxonomy for embedded systems. First, the generalized structure of the embedded system was presented. And, it is divided into two parts: "firmware based" and "embedded OS based". In addition, according to the characteristics of embedded system applications, it is divided into two categories: "non-dependable" application and "dependable" application, which makes 4 planes. We describe the features of each quadrant and show that the classification is well suited by showing examples. Our taxonomy can be used to set teaching and learning methods of embedded systems.

This paper presents a new learning model, "BoX(Battle of X)", which is based on a concept from the culture of B-Boys who enjoy the race of "distributed cognition" to win in their contests. The "battle" means a contest and "X" means a course to which our learning model can be applied. The goal of this paper is to present a learning model that allow students to be in a state of learning-flow and provides them with the ability of creative problem solving simultaneously. The key of the "BoX" implementation is to design a principle that controls contests between students to maximize distributed cognitive activities for reducing individual's cognitive load. This paper also presents how-to of "BoX" implementation and its effects. Through the analysis on learning achievement of students during one year course of IT education, we have confirmed that the "BoX" model provides students with higher learning achievement and learning-flow level in comparison with traditional learning model.

This paper is to investigate how two elementary school teacher's belief mathematics as educational content, and teaching and learning mathematics as a part of educational methodology, and what the two teachers believe towards gifted children and their education, and what the classes demonstrate and its effects on the sociomathematical norms. To investigate this matter, the study has been conducted with two teachers who have long years of experience in teaching gifted children, but fall into different belief categories. The results of the study show that teacher A falls into the following category: the essentiality of mathematics as 'traditional', teaching mathematics as 'blended', and learning mathematics as 'traditional'. In addition, teacher A views mathematically gifted children as autonomous researchers with low achievement and believes that the teacher is a learning assistant. On the other hand, teacher B falls into the following category: the essentiality of mathematics as 'non-traditional', teaching mathematics as 'non-traditional, and learning mathematics as 'non-traditional.' Also, teacher B views mathematically gifted children as autonomous researchers with high achievement and believes that the teacher is a learning guide. In the teacher A's class for gifted elementary school students, problem solving rule and the answers were considered as important factors and sociomathematical norms that valued difficult arithmetic operation were demonstrated However, in the teacher B's class for gifted elementary school students, sociomathematical norms that valued the process of problem solving, mathematical explanations and justification more than the answers were demonstrated. Based on the results, the implications regarding the education of mathematically gifted students were investigated.

The year of 2007 Reformed Curriculum encourages various activity materials in the textbook facilitate students oriented self-help learning. The purpose of this paper is to find out how much the activity materials in housing area of middle school Technology and Home Economics are practiced in the class and why they are used or not used. The data were collected from 253 middle school teachers who had ever taught the housing unit in any of 6 textbooks. The analyses indicated that the most frequent teaching methode was lecture based on the textbook and internet data focused on the figures and contents of the individual textbook. The average rate of practicing the activity materials was differ by textbooks and the characteristics of the materials such as type of materials, feature of non sentence materials, and type of activity. The main two reasons to practice the activity materials were it's adequacy to class goals and application to everyday life. Low interests of students and shortage of time were the two main reasons why not used the materials. Textbook writers should consider these reasons as well as the characteristics of activity materials practiced in the class by the teachers in order to meet the goals of the reformed as well as current curricula.

The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of artificial intelligence storytelling education program designed to help learning artificial intelligence based on storytelling, the most important element of human intelligence, on learning flow. To this end, a 16-hour artificial intelligence education program was designed and developed, and applied over 8 weeks to 19 gifted students in 5th and 6th grades of elementary school. Artificial intelligence storytelling education program was developed in the form of teaching and learning course plans for each class and storybooks. Artificial intelligence storytelling education program application results showed significant improvements in average scores in all 9 sub-factors of learning flow, including combination of challenges and abilities, integration of behavior and consciousness, clear goal, concrete feedback, focus on task, sense of control, loss of self-consciousness, Distortion of the sense of time, and self-purpose experience. In other words, it was confirmed that artificial intelligence storytelling education program was effective in improving learning flow.

This study was conducted on four 11^th grade students at a high school in a small town to determine the effectiveness of responsive teaching. The three phases of the responsive teaching method proposed in the previous study were subdivided into six stages; Step 1 is elicitation of students' thoughts related to macroscopic world, Step 2 is drawing of students' early thoughts related to microscopic world, Step 3 is disciplinary connections with ideas of the particle, Step 4 is to clarify the learner's thoughts on the particle by the teacher's involvement, Step 5 is deepening students' thoughts, and Step 6 is expanding ideas. In Step 4, students came to the recognition that the cause of mass was atoms and that the cause of volume was molecules. In Step 5, students led to a shift in thinking that could ignore the volume of the molecules themselves through the properties of protons and neutrons that affect mass from a particle perspective. In the Step 6 of expanding ideas, students explained molecular motion by the concept of material point which ignores the volume of particles. This steps gave students perspectives on the relationship between the mass and volume of particles required by Avogadro's law. The students recognized that some systems could be studied only indirectly because they were too small, too large, too fast, or too slow to observe directly.

By using the concept of 'Resonance' in benzene which stems from a unit dealing with the carbocyclic compounds which is in a text 'Chemistry I', I developed teaching methods based on the history of science. This study was executed to analyze the effect by applying these methods. Seventy 3rd grade male students, who are attending a high school located in the Pohang area were used in this study. I investigated the level of the relative difficulty and the degree of scholastic achievement from each treatment group and controlled group using the concept of Resonance from the preceeding study. In this study, these 70 students divided into two classes- a traditional lecture group consisting of male 35 student, and a group using the history of chemistry consisting of the remaining 35 student and after a specified period, their scholastic achievement was analyzed. As a result of this study, the treatment group scored much higher (50.143) than the controlled group(25.429) in average score and showed significant difference between two groups. Through this study was based on the history of chemistry, after scientists let them realize the process of improving science attitude, and think like scientists, giving conceptual class can get much more efficiency and durability for learning.

The purpose of this study is to understand the characteristics of Aristotle's view of nature that is, the static view of the universe, and find implications for education. Plato sought to interpret the natural world using a rational approach rather than an incomplete observation, in terms of from the perspective of geometry and mathematical regularity, as the best way to understand the world. On the other hand, Aristotle believed that we could understand the world by observing what we see. This world is a static worldview full of the purpose of the individual with a sense of purposive legitimacy. In addition, the natural motion of earthly objects and celestial bodies, which are natural movements towards the world of order, are the original actions. Aristotle thought that, given the opportunity, all natural things would carry out some movement, that is, their natural movement. Above all, the world that Plato and Aristotle built is a static universe. It is possible to fully grasp the world by approaching the objective nature that exists independently of human being with human reason and observation. After all, for Aristotle, like Plato, their belief that the natural world was subject to regular and orderly laws of nature, despite the complexity of what seemed to be an embarrassingly continual change, became the basis of Western thought. Since the universe, the metaphysical perspective of ancient Greece and modern philosophy, relies on the development of a dichotomy of understanding (cutting branches) into what has already been completed or planned, ideal and inevitable, so it is the basis of traditional teaching-learning that does not value learner's opinions.
