The purpose of this study is to develop cognitive scaffolding tools and to explore their effects on integrated science process skills of high school students. For this purpose, we developed cognitive scaffolding tools including one kind of classroom instruction for training integrated process skills and two kinds of individual learning materials that students can selectively study according to their level of inquiry ability. In addition, we developed hypothetico-deductive inquiry tasks as a tool to investigate the level of students on the integrated process skills for pre-test and post-test respectively. In order to verify the effectiveness of the cognitive scaffolding tools, we conducted inferential statistics on the pre-and post-tests of the experimental group and control group to examine statistical significance of students' inquiry level change depending on the usage of the cognitive scaffolding tools. We also produced Wrightmaps based on Rasch model to compare the change of inquiry ability depending on usage of the cognitive scaffolding tools. As a result, the experimental group using the cognitive scaffolding tools showed a significantly higher scores in all the components of integrated process skills namely, designing inquiry, collecting data, analyzing data, and forming conclusion than the control group. In addition, students who used cognitive scaffolding tools improved their inquiry ability and showed a distinct transition to higher level in each component of the integrated process skills. The results of this study suggest that high school students need cognitive scaffolding to alleviate or eliminate the functional barriers they face in conducting scientific inquiries.

u-learning (Ubiquitous Learning) 환경에서는 학습자들이 언제, 어디에서나 어떤 단말기로도 자유롭게 학습할 수 있는 학습자 중심의 교육과정이 가능해야 한다. 최근 각광을 받고 있는 태블릿 (Tablet) PC는 펜을 주로 입력 매개로 활용하고, 음성을 인식하여 이를 문자로 변환하여 저장할 수 있는 기능도 가지고 있어 초등교육 현장에 적합한 단말기이다. 또한 PBL (Problem-based Learning)은 학습자들이 자기주도적으로 문제를 해결해 가는 과정에서 문제해결력과 비판적 사고 기능을 신장시킬 수 있는 학습형태로 태블릿 PC 기반의 PBL 학습시스템은 u-learning 환경에서 학습자 중심의 교육과정 실현에 적합한 시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 태블릿 PC 기반의 PBL 학습시스템의 인터페이스 설계 방안을 제시해 보았다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 사용자 인터페이스의 특징은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 학습의 프로세스를 프로젝트의 목적 및 과제 파악 단계, 학습계획 수립단계, 자료의 수집 및 정리단계, 프로젝트 마무리 단계로 구분하고, 각 단계에서의 학습자의 활동을 지원하는 시스템으로 구성한다. 둘째, 태블릿 PC 기반에서의 학습 활동에 서투른 학습자도 직관적으로 접근 할 수 있도록 인터페이스에 아이콘을 적절하게 활용한다. 셋째, 태블릿 PC에 펜이나 음성으로 입력된 자료를 문자, 도형, 이미지로 손쉽게 저장하고 축적할 수 있도록 한다. 넷째, 학습자들간의 상호작용과 교사의 피드백을 손쉽게 할 수 있도록 게시판, 자료실, 통합 메시지함의 기능을 활성화한다.

Interest in Chinese edutainment contents product has been increasing with the importance of Chinese Education Recently, empirical education with some fun activities is in the limelight breaking the traditional passive learning. Due to a such social necessity, we develop web-based Chinese Edutainment Contents for children, utilizing multimedia functions. Especially since writing Education is very important in learning chinese characters, we also developed a writing recognition function which checks the order of making strokes in writing Chinese character. Different from the existing outline area-based writing system, it determines if the character is well-written comparing to the prestored reference points in each Chinese characters, after recognizing the order of strokes and extracting peculiar points.

The purpose of this study is to critically review the skill-based approach to scientific inquiry in science education and to explore the meaning of science practices that are emphasized in recent science education reform movement. An extensive review of relevant literature was carried out, and the results were summarized according to the detailed themes of the study. In the skill-based approach of which Science-A Process Approach (SAPA) is a representative example, science process skills were presented as hierarchically connected with one another, they were believed to be transferable or generalizable, and science learning through discovery was stressed. These points of view are, however, contradicted with those of the modern philosophy of science which suggests the theory-laden nature of using the skills. The skill-based view has also been criticized by the fact that the use of inquiry skills is content-specific or context-dependent and that science theories or principles cannot be discovered by induction. In contrast, the recent view understands science practices holistically, emphasizes the diverse ways of doing the practices which vary with different contents or contexts, and considers student ideas importantly in the science classroom. The findings of this study can contribute to the development of a new science curriculum by providing implications for establishing a consistent view on scientific inquiry.

Several problems occur including lack of humanity, confinement of creativeness, lack of independent learning capability, when elementary students are taught computer, since the they learn only basic functions of computer in general. Accordingly, it is required to have subject-integrated textbook with which they learn curriculum and nurture the humanity as well as creativeness, while studying functions of computer. In light of this, I plan to develop computer textbook, which divided the contents of Hangul 97 and Windows 98, operation system, per subject, and organized them in the order of question to study for himself, part to learn function, formation evaluation, study on subject integration study related to curriculum, part to raise creativeness, and supplementary study, after extracting the contents of curriculum, creative factor and humanity factor suitable for each subjects. By realizing the subject-integrated textbook that enables the interaction by taking advantage of dynamic feature of web, this textbook aims to raise the humanity and creativeness while learning the functions of computer.

국민 소득수준의 향상은 복지사회를 이룩하기 위한 기본요건이지만 상대적으로 경제개발 및 근대화 과정에서 야기되는 사회문제나 건강생활에 저해되는 요인의 발생방지 대책이 결여된다면 이는 결코 이상적인 발전일 수 없을 것이다. 사회보장제도에서의 가장 중요한 기능이 물론 경제적 조건의 개선이지만 건강조건의 개선 역시 이에 못지 않게 중요한 기능의 하나인 것이다.

In this paper, we tried to combine the findings obtained from pedagogical analysis of serious game, which is a study of Soo-Cheol Ha [2, 3], and learning theories such as behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, situated learning, and other theories. Based on the previous research, we propose pedagogical elements of serious games based on theories and researches from models and other studies using learning theory. The suggested elements were applied on GSS(Global Startup Simulation), which is a serious game, and the results were confirmed through questionnaire evaluation of learners who are learning through it.

가상교육 원격교육이 미래 교육의 확고한 대안으로 제안되고 있는 이 때 , 이런 학습 코스웨어들을 보급하기만 하면 교사와 학생들이 많이 사용할 것이고 이를 통해서 수업의 효과성과 학습의 질이 향상되어, 궁극적으로는 지식정보사회가 요구하는 경쟁력을 갖춘 인력이 배출될 것이다라는 가정이 현재의 교육 이데올로기이다. 그러나 이들에 대한 다양한 비팝과 역 기능들을 수렴하여 효과적인 가상교육이 이루어 져야한다. 가상교육이 단순히 정보를 제공하는 기술적 도구가 아닌 '교육'이 되기 위해서 교수-학습 내용의 질을 우선적으로 확보할 것이 요청된다. 이러한 요청에 대한 가상교육 학습의 구조와 요소를 고려한 학습요소구성을 위한 통합과 효과성을 제고 할 수 있는 전략을 제안하고자 한다.

With the development of information and communications technologies, there have been increasing cases of services and use free educational materials in educational field through the Web. However, as most of the materials are provided in a finished form via the Web services, teachers are in a situation where they have difficulty in using the materials through development or revision according to their educational goals. In this background, this study aimed to develop requirements and functions necessary for the educational contents development tools by having teachers as actual users develop contents using existing tools of the educational contents development. As a result, this study developed 10 requirements, including intuitive interface environment, support for various multimedia materials, and diversification of output versions etc. Also, the study suggested 13 functions, including links with external resources, automatic format conversion function, usage and editing of existing documents, writing learner's answers, and hiding function etc.

인터넷과 통신 기술의 발달로 사이버학습, 원격교육 등 많은 서비스가 제공되고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 매체 발전에 비해 원격 교육으로 인한 학습자의 학습 효과에 대한 연구는 미약하다. 원격 교육의 경우 매체의 특성상 학습자의 편리, 시공간적인 제약의 극복 등 많은 긍정적 효과들을 바탕으로 자기주도 학습을 가능하게 하지만, 모니터링 기능의 부재로 학습자의 자기조절학습이 어려워 학습 효과를 높일 수 있는 방안이 요구되어 진다. 원격교육에서 학습자의 성실한 학습태도는 학습효과를 높이는 중요한 요소이다. 원격 학습자가 학습 컨텐츠를 수강하기 시작하여 마치기까지 모니터링 함으로써 학습자의 집중도와 성취도를 평가하고자 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 원격 교육에서 학습자의 학습 태도를 실시간으로 평가하고 분석하는 모니터링 기능을 가진 학습 평가 시스템을 구현하여, 학습 효과를 높일 수 있었다.
