The influence of peer collaboration on children's analogical abilities was studied with 120 9-year-old participants. After the pre-test, which determined the analogical level of the children, each child was assigned to 1 of 4 different learning conditions: cued/non-cued peer collaborative learning, or cued/non-cued individual learning conditions. The post-test showed changes in their analogical abilities. That is, results showed that cued peer collaborative learned improved the analogical abilities of the children, but the pattern of improvement was different by prior level of analogical abilities. We explained improvement in analogical ability by the context effect of peer collaborative learning and by the interactive effect of context with basic cognitive abilities of the children. We suggested implications of the present results for educational practice.

초등학교에서 고학년으로 갈수록 수학에 대한 흥미가 떨어지고 수학을 기피하는 학생들을 많이 볼 수 있다. 그러한 아동들의 대부분은 수학에 대한 어려움을 많이 호소하고 있는데 특히 비정형화된 문제들을 대할 때엔 그 현상은 더욱 심각하다. 초등학교 수학 교과서의 마지막 단원은 '문제 푸는 방법 찾기' 단원인데, 이 단원에 제시된 문제들은 대체로 비정형화된 문제들이다. 정형화된 문제에 익숙한 아동들은 이러한 비정형 문제들을 해결하는 데에 상당히 어려움을 나타내곤 한다. 본교에서는 이러한 아동들의 어려움을 해결할 수 있는 방안으로 협력학습을 택하였다. 또래들과의 상호작용 속에서 비정형화된 문제에 보다 친숙하게 접근하고 해결해 나가는 과정을 반복하다 보면 수학에 대한 흥미를 되찾게 되고, 문제 해결력과 수학적 사고력이 향상될 것으로 기대된다.

The purposes of this study are to examine the predictability of variables related to SNS intention to use in collaborative learning and provide some new implications. Based on Technology Readiness and Acceptance Model (TRAM), we hypothesized that optimism, innovativeness, discomfort, insecurity as personal disposition variables, subjective norm as a social variable, and perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use as cognitive variables would predict SNS intention to use. For this study, 274 'Share Leadership' students in E university completed surveys and it was analyzed by multiple regression analysis. The results of this study showed as follows. First, optimism, innovativeness, discomfort, and subjective norm predicted perceived ease of use. Second, optimism, insecurity, subjective norm and perceived ease of use predicted perceived usefulness. Third, subjective norm, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness predicted SNS intention to use. From this, it is revealed that positive technology readiness predict much more than negative technology readiness do and the role of teacher and peers is very important.

인터넷과 웹이 일상생활의 일부가 되면서 온라인상에는 방대한 양의 정보가 쌓이게 되었다. 이러한 흐름 속에서 정보의 양은 급속도로 늘어나는 현상을 보이며, ‘개인화’ 를 통해 수많은 데이터들 사이에서 원하는 정보를 자동으로 찾아내는 기술의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 이를 ‘추천시스템’ 이라 부르며, 내용기반 필터링과 협력적 필터링 등의 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 사용자에게 가장 중요한 영향을 미치는 또래의 선호도, 지역, 시대 등의 복합적인 환경을 반영하는데 아직까지 어려움을 지니고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 필터링들을 조합하고 좀더 편리하게 정보를 공유하고 학습할 수 있는 시맨틱 웹에서 연관 이웃 마이닝 기법을 통해 개인화된 추천 시스템을 설계한다. 생활에서 흔히 접할 수 있는 의상을 다양한 사용자에게 특화되어 코디해주는 시스템을 웹에서 제공한 결과 불필요한 검색시간이 줄어들고 사용자의 피드백을 통해 점차 만족도가 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to build an instruction method focused on the mathematical process and apply it to 12, 5-year-olds from Kindergarten located in Seoul with a view to explore the changes in their mathematical thinking. In addition, surveys with parents and teachers, as well as those conducted in the field of early childhood education, were conducted to analyze the current situation. The effects focused on the five mathematical processes, namely problem solving, reasoning and proof, connecting, representing and communication was found to help the interactions between teacher-child and child-child stimulate the mathematical thinking of the children and induce changes. The mathematical process-focused instruction aimed to advance mathematical thinking internalized mathematical knowledge, presented an integrated problematic situation, and empathized the mathematical process, which enabled the children to solve the problem by working together with peers. As such, the mathematical thinking of the children was integrated and developed within the process of a positive change in the mathematical attitude in which mathematical knowledge is internalized through mathematical process.

This study examines the effect of oral narration learning for children's forest fairy tales on self-emotional regulation and community spirit cultivation. To achieve this aim, experiments were conducted involving 40 children in S city during 16 sessions over a period of 8 weeks. Findings showed that the experimental group with oral narration learning regarding forest fairy tales was higher than the control group, confirming the usefulness of oral narration learning for forest fairy tales. In particular, the experimental group was higher than the control group in basic lifestyle, community spirit, sociality development and self-awareness of community spirit factors. In other words, children can focus their attention on fairy tales by reading, listening and directly experiencing fairy tale materials in nature as communication with nature in forest experience activities, and can collaborate with peers based on their emotional connection with nature. Their ability to practice principles and order as well as to improve relationships with peers and increase self-emotional regulation is enhanced through experience with fairy tale stories. Such results imply that the utilization of forest fairy tales needs to be enhanced, as forest fairy tale-linked activities have a positive educational effect on community spirit cultivation as well as self-emotional regulation.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the process of relationships among participants in a group mentoring program. Sixteen youths who participated as mentees in a group mentoring program were theoretically sampled and participated in in-depth interviews. The analysis was based on Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory approach(1990). The result shows that the qualitative text data were classified into 14 categories and 31 sub-categories. Four different types of mentees' experiences were identified: 'expanded mentoring relationship', 'peer-oriented relationship', 'task-oriented relationship' and 'avoidant relationship'. Through a process analysis, four stages including 'stage of exploring', 'stage of establishing relations', 'stage of conflict' and 'stage of expanding relations' were discovered. Implications for social work intervention and policy development were discussed based on these findings.

This study investigated several cases of interactive learning mediated by exhibits in a natural history hall during visits by middle school students. Five visiting cases were selected, in which visitors engaged actively in the interactions between them. Each visiting case was analyzed in terms of visiting discourse register and the modes of interaction in order to understand both visitors' meaning-making processes through the discourse flow and the characteristics of visiting discourse according to the features of exhibits. Results were as follows. The information provided in the exhibits was used as THEMEs in visitors' discourse and the visitors presented their information on the THEMEs as RHEMEs. The visitors made their own meaning for the exhibits by exchanging their information with each other. Interrogative sentences on the exhibit panels allowed visitors to make arguments. Similar exhibits displayed together helped visitors to compare those exhibits. These two features of the exhibits facilitated visitors' meaning-making processes in the natural history hall. The modes of interaction between visitors mediated by the exhibits showed that the information itself from the exhibits as well as visitors' opinion on the exhibits were frequently used as the elements for in-depth cognitive social interactions that allowed the visitors to construct meaning. Based on these results, we discussed that understanding in detail how visitors choose information from exhibits and construct visiting discourse is very important to improve visitors' collaborative science learning at a natural history hall.
