The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effects of mathematical communication-centered teaching using peer feedbacks on students' mathematics achievement and mathematical dispositions toward mathematics, and then this study examined the characteristics of feedbacks used by students. To do this study, two sixth grade classes selected from an elementary school in Seoul participated in the current study; one class for a treatment group applying mathematical communication-centered teaching using peer feedback, and the other for a comparison group applying traditional teaching using teacher-centered communication. The results of this study showed the fact that a treatment group of mathematical communication-centered teaching applying peer feedback scored statistically higher than a comparison group applying teacher-centered communication with respect to both students' mathematical achievement and disposition. Especially, this communication-centered teaching program focused on peer feedback was more effective to middle or lower level students than higher level students. In addition, mathematical communication-centered teaching applying peer feedbacks helps students reflect their own thinking process about problem solving, and students experienced the improvement of their confidence about mathematics from opportunities to provide peers with feedbacks. Finally, the present study suggests the important role of communication in mathematics learning, particularly student-to-student feedbacks rather than teacher-to-students feedbacks. That is to say, students need to have many opportunities to represent their own mathematical thinking processes using mathematical language.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of peer assisted learning (PAL) using video recordings in standardized patients (SP) simulation. Methods: A mixed-method approach was adopted, in which quantitative data were supplemented with qualitative data. Research participants consisted of 49 nursing students, 24 of whom were assigned to the experimental group, and 25 to the control group. The 12 item instrument was used to measure perioperative care knowledge, while performance confidence was assessed with the 10 item questionnaire, and clinical critical thinking skills with the Clinical Critical Thinking Skill Test (CCTS). Qualitative data were collected using a reflective journaling and in-depth interviews. Results: Participants in the experimental group exhibited significantly higher levels of knowledge than those in the control group (t=5.43, p<.001), and were significantly more confident in their performances (F=52.33, p<.001). However, no significant differences were found between the experimental and the control groups with regard to CCTS (t=0.72, p=.477). A qualitative content analysis was conducted using the interview and reflective journaling data, in which six major themes were elicited from three codes. Conclusion: PAL employing video recordings is expected to be utilized as a teaching and learning strategy in simulation-based nursing practicum with greater frequency and longer period, given the positive effects observed in this study.

Reading ability has been widely considered as one of the basic skills that every student should be conversant with because higher level of thinking power can be acquired through reading. Reading education allows students to build correct way of thinking as well as foster critical thinking ability. However, it can be observed that reading education has not been well addressed accordingly in schools mainly because teachers have only limited amount of time and ability to cope with. In this paper, we developed a Web-based peer evaluation system for improving reading and writing ability so that students are allowed to exchange ideas freely on the Web after reading books as well as evaluate other students' writings, which would facilitate reflective thinking through the computer-mediated communication activities. Students become graders of other students' writings so that they are exposed to different opinions and ideas through which deeper thoughts can be obtained. The learner-centered learning activity instead of teacher-centered may benefit students as well as teachers and the system implementing this idea shows that both students' attitudes and preferences were improved as the result of applying the system to a local elementary school.

The purpose of this study was to explore and to suggest the effective teaching methods for university students to improve their speaking abilities through peer assessment-feedback and self assessment-feedback based presentation and debate class. The objects and content of the study were the students who took a class "Reading and Communication" of H university, and here examine closely the speaking activities and their effects during the integrated activities of 'reading, speaking and writing'. In speaking education peer and self assessment feedback is to form an emotional consensus among the students and encourage active participation, and enable self-discovery and communication learning to students. As a result of the study, it was found that the variety speaking practice had a very positive effect on the attitude of speaking and the psychological aspect, and it was confirmed that the evaluation and feedback activities had a meaningful learning effect on the students. Effective speech education and guidance measures should be continuously studied and developed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of negotiation-based peer and self-assessment activities on science-gifted students' modeling and students' perceptions of the impact of these assessment activities on modeling. For this purpose, 92 students in the 11th grade of a science high school, in a metropolitan city, were selected to conduct peer assessment, self-assessment, and science writing activities with four topics of Advanced Chemistry. The students' modeling was analyzed in terms of 'structuring scientific concepts', 'logic', 'multiple representations' and 'communication'. Based on the results, the mean scores of modeling increased for each element of evaluation according to the progress of assessment activities. Students' responses in the survey and interviews showed that students perceived the results of student assessment activities as valid, students also recognized the benefit of these assessment activities by referring to the assessment results before their next writing assignment.

최근 초고속 통신망의 보급과 World Wide Web의 눈부신 발달로 인하여 상호작용적인 웹 기반 협동학습이 활성화되고 있다. 그러나 기존 웹 기반 협동학습 시스템의 대부분은 일정한 기준이 없이 그룹이 편성되거나 오프라인에서 그룹이 편성되도록 되어있다. 또한, 협동학습 이후 평가가 없거나 오프라인에서 평가를 하도록 구성되어 있다. 그러므로 기존의 웹 기반 협동학습은 외형상으로는 협동학습을 표방하지만 완벽한 웹 기반 협동학습이 될 수 없었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 웹 기반 협동학습의 단점들을 보완하여 학습자의 적극적 협동수행 유도와 학습효과의 증진이 가능하도록 하였다. 그룹 구성부터 시작하여 평가에 이르기까지 모든 것이 웹 상에서 가능한 시스템을 설계하였다. 일정한 기준을 통한 성향조사를 통해 교수자가 웹 상에서 동질적, 이질적 성향의 그룹 편성을 가능하게 하였으며 교수자가 학습자의 성향을 모르는 상황에서도 적당한 그룹의 편성이 가능하도록 하였다. 웹 기반 협동학습 종결 후 자기평가, 동료평가, 그룹평가, 그리고 교수자 평가와 같은 다양한 평가방법을 도입하였다. 이러한 다양한 평가에 의한 피드백을 통하여 학습자가 새로운 협동학습에서 보다 더 적극적이고 능동적인 협동학습을 하도록 하였다.

Recently, many researchers have studied on agent-based edutainment systems to improve students' learning experience. In this paper, we present AR Gardening which makes users experience interactive flower gardening with a bluebird, a learning companion agent, squatting in an augmented picture. The proposed system augments the animated bluebird to support interactive edutainment experiences. The bluebird perceives users' actions as well as environmental situations. It then appraises situational information to provide participants with problem-solving guidelines. Moreover, the bluebird responds like a companion than an instructor through anthropomorphic expression. To demonstrate our work, we exhibited the implemented AR Gardening and reviewed participants' responses to the system. In this exhibition, we could find that the learning companion-like bluebird helped users experience how to properly grow the flower in our educational setting. Ultimately, we expect that an augmented peer learning agent is one of the key factors for developing effective edutainment applications.

Current performance evaluation of the natural science section mainly focuses on teacher evaluation, which causes slow feedback on the evaluation result and little evaluation on colleagues due to limits of time and space. In addition, report performance evaluation, which is a main target of the evaluation in the natural science section, is conducted mostly based on records of experiments and observation without any systematic forms. Such performance evaluation cannot meet expectation on the evaluation for a self-adjustment through instant feedback on the evaluation result and improvement of motivation through sharing common performance standard. Therefore, the study here completes an experiment/research report through information sharing and discussion among colleague learners based on the web and uses it for colleague or teacher evaluation. In addition, it is intended to recognize needs of learners and develop a performance evaluation system that can provide learners with appropriate feedback through the result.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the strengths and weaknesses resulting from a study of elementary mathematics lessons among in-service teachers and to discuss implications for the direction of improvement of the study on elementary mathematics lessons based on teacher learning community. The results of this study showed that the study on elementary mathematics lessons based on teacher learning community improved teacher knowledge related to teaching mathematics, enhanced teacher's accomplishment and self-esteem, made it possible for participant teachers to teach one another, created atmosphere in which teachers investigated instruction via sustainable and systematic lesson study. However, some limitations were noticed such as regulations by the social norms of the teacher learning community, the influence of an expert teacher, teachers' unprofessional decision making, and lack of systematic evaluation and reflection on lessons. Based on these results, this paper closes with critical implications to enhance teacher learning community.
