This study explored the possibility of building a statistical model predicting difficulty of mathematics test items through the analysis of nation-wide scholastic ability test results for the past 5 years. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted in predicting difficulty of mathematics test items. We adopted three major areas for independent variables: the content area, the behavior area, and the test item format area, each of which was categorized into more detailed sub-areas. For the dependent variable, the proportion of correct answer was used to represent the item difficulty. Statistically significant independent variables were included in the regression model based on the stepwise selection method. Several important factors affecting difficulty of mathematics test items for each area were identified. R-squares for the final regression model were fairly high, implying that the regression equation can be used to predict difficulty of test items at an acceptable level. Lastly, the regression model was cross-validated using independently collected data. We believe that this study will provide basic but very critical information for predicting the proportion of correct answer by showing the factors that should be considered for developing mathematics test items for the college entrance examination or high school classroom test.

Currently, The failure of construction project is increasing to be caused by a changing construction environment. According to this circumstances, Researches of project success factors affecting performance have been presented to develop strategies for efficient construction project management in the construction industry. However, Conducting efficient construction project management is difficult because project manager could not know which project success factors can be improved or not. Especially, although the project characteristics were derived the level of difficulty for performance, research of the project characteristics which could not be improved as influence factor to performance is lacking. Therefore, This paper has developed the Performance Predicting System(PPS) with Fuzzy set theory to establish. PPS has been developed to establish efficient project management strategies and to save time and effort. As Contractor inputs the project characteristics, PPS can predict the level of difficulty of performance.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the learning environment on the learning achievement of the learners and to improve the learning achievement of the learners while accepting the fact that it is difficult to change the class environment in which the middle and large group. Among the learner's positive and cognitive factors, we examined the factors that can classify learners into homogeneous groups in programming learning. The difficulty level of the learning contents influenced factors that classify the homogeneous group, and the factors were analyzed by dividing the intermediate difficulty and the final achievement. In addition, we examined the factors that affect the difference between two grades in order to analyze factors affecting steady learning regardless of difficulty level. It was found that the learners' personal motivation influenced the learning achievement of easy learning contents, and the performance self - efficacy had influence on the learning achievement and achievement of difficult learning contents.

The change of programming language learning experience on learning motivation was analyzed. Learning a programming language is generally evaluated as a difficult process even for majors. Measuring psychological changes related to programming learning at this point in expanding to non-majors is necessary for learner analysis. The overall learner attitude change was investigated by measuring achievement goals, academic interest, academic self-efficacy, cognitive involvement, and academic self-regulation, which are motivation-related factors. All factors related to learning attitude showed a decrease in the post-test results. This result is interpreted that the difficulty of the learning process decreased the motivation to learn programming. It was found that the greater the difficulty perceived by the learner, the greater the decrease in the motivation to learn. Based on the results of this study, it has implications that a learning environment and learning process that can give feedback and a situation that can reduce the level of learning difficulty felt by learners should be systematically given.
