'Calculus for Life Science' is one of the calculus courses for students majoring life science in Seoul National University. Contrary to the other calculus courses for students in natural sciences and engineerings, in 'Calculus for life Science' we have primarily chosen computer-based curriculum that is useful to life science and so we have tried to fulfill the requirements of the students majoring life science. Like this, we are of the opinion that there are diverse requirements in life science as well as other majors in basic mathematical education of the university. Upon this view, in this research, we consider the present conditions, the points at issue and study improvements of them. In section II and III, we introduce briefly the present 'Calculus for Life Science' focused on the curriculum. In section IV, according to the course evaluations and questionnaire, we make an analysis of the present condition and the points at issue of 'Calculus for Life Science'. In section V and VI, we present the improvements of the curriculum and the several education environments.

This study developed teaching and learning materials for an integrated education program of probability and genetics in the light of connections between mathematics and biological science. It also analysed characteristics of high school students' mathematical activities which appeared while the students took part in lessons where the developed materials were contributed in order to teach them. To achieve the aim, this study firstly specified five details for the development of the materials based on the results of previous research and extracted contents of probability and genetics which had the possibility of being taught in the integrated education program by examining the text books. After embodying the teaching materials according to the five details and the extracted contents, the researchers implemented 10 lessons by using the materials. This study elaborated some implications for a succeeding integrated education of mathematics and biological science in term of anlaysis results of features from the students' mathematical understanding and attitudes emerging in the lessons.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of scientifically gifted middle school students about their engineering design process according to gender and talent division. The instrument in surveying their perceptions about the engineering design process consists of 24 items (Likert 5 point type) five domains: problem definition, information collection and utilization, idea generation, inquiry performance, and teamwork (communication, cooperation, leadership). A total of 102 scientifically gifted students participated in the survey, according to gender (69 males and 33 females) and talent divisions (physics, biological sciences, software, mathematics, space-geological sciences, and chemistry). They had a high level of awareness of their engineering design ability. It is necessary to develop a customized gifted-education program so that their talent in their field of interest can be fully displayed according to the gender and talent division. In addition, the teaching and learning methods and strategies of the engineering design program for the scientifically gifted middle school students should be established to fully reflect the practical needs of the talented.

The purpose of this study was to analyze high schools' general and special subject required to successfully complete same stream curriculum which is identical to their major from agricultural high school, and to offer basic data on strategies of organizing agricultural high schools' curriculum for improving universities' major basic competencies. Using purposeful sampling technique, the professors of 116 universities professors in 8 agricultural university were analyzed through the survey research. The result was as follows. first, it appeared that for successful completion of major subjects of the same stream university, the basic science subject such as biology and chemistry has high relation with major basic ability, however math and physics are related highly in agricultural machine and agricultural civil engineering department, economics and math are in agricultural produce distribution department. Second, the basic ability such as linguistic competence and foreign language ability are essential to complete major subject. Third, if we look into relation of agriculture and life science industry stream specialized subject with major basic competencies, we can find considerable similarity between major field of university and subject name of specialized high school. Fourth, the main opinion is that basic concept and principle, laws of nature are should be main contents which is able to be practical, however experiment and practice is in food processing department, and academic theory is in biotechnology department.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between teachers' characteristics and schools' peculiarities and to analyze relevant variables which influence the organization and implementation of the curriculum in specialized industry high schools. Subject were 414 teachers in specialized industry high school. The main result of this study are as follows. First, according to teachers' sex distinction, position, teaching experience, career of industry-related companies, subtle stress difference were found in establishment of education programs, relevance of educational activity, propriety of equipment. Second, in case of schools' subject of establishment, dormitory, specialized types, number of class, type of the sex of recruitment, subtle difference were found in connectivity of graders and subjects, relevance of the organization of education activity, substantial curriculum, push ahead with specialized high school. Third, measures to support development of specialized curriculum arrange sub-items in order of frequency. The way we understand things on vocational education must be settled without delay.

생물정보공학을 위한 학문적/실용적 접근은 전산학, 생물학, 유전공학, 수학/통계학등이 유기적으로 통합되어 이루어져야 한다. 그러나 각계의 전문가가 서로의 특정 지식을 활용하기 위한 물리적인 기반이 갖추어져 있지 않은 상태에서는 각 분야의 전문적 지식 활용이 용이하지 않다. 현재의 의료 서비스 제공자/병원이 가진 방대한 의료 데이터를 생물정보공학 령역에서 활용할 수 있도록 해야 하고, 진료 데이터에 근거한 유전적 정보 분석을 위해 생물학 전문가들이 생성하는 인간 질병에 관한 유전적 분석, 연구 결과를 다시 의료 서비스 제공자에게 돌려주는 순환적 사이클이 필요하고, 이러한 순환적 사이클 지원자는 정보 기술이라고 생각한다. 인간 질병 극복과 좀 더 나은 진료, 예방책을 제공할 수 있도록 생물정보공학, 의료정보학, 컴퓨터과학의 통합 활용 목표를 설정할 수 있다. 각계의 전문가가 지식을 공유할 수 있고 기존의 병원 시스템 및 유전 연구소 등의 시스템을 통합하여 유기적으로 엮음으로써 데이터를 의미 있게 해석하고 공유할 수 있도록 지원하는 프레임워크가 절실히 요구된다. 본 세미나에서는 의료정보학과 생물정보공학에서 활용하는 시스템 통합, 전문 지식의 통합적 활용을 위해 각 전문가를 대신하는 에이전트로 구성된 멀티에이전트 플랫폼을 제시하여, 각 분야가 갖는 전문성 확보, 광고, 유기적 연결을 멀티에이전트 시스템에게 위임함으로써 각 영역에서 서비스 할 수 있는 내용과 서비스 제공 주체인 각계의 전문가 집단을 유기적으로 통합하고자 한다. 의료 영역에서 이루어진 의료 영상 통신 시스템 (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems), 의료 정보 표준화를 위한 HL7 (Health Level 7)에 대해서 경북대학교 지능정보 연구실에서 연구, 개발한 내용을 발표한다. 의료 정보 시스템과 생물학 영역의 유전체 정보 데이터베이스 시스템 사이에 의미 있는 데이터 전송, 지식 획득을 위해 정보 기술 분야에서 활용해야 할 영역으로 XML Web Services, Multi-agent Systems, 전문가 컴뮤니티를 위한 그룹웨어 연구 개발에 관해 사례 중심으로 발표한다.

The purpose of this study is to develop an adoptive model of institutional repositories (IRs) by identifying the key factors affecting adoptive intention of IRs and explaining the relations among these factors. Through a survey of 270 researchers and 12 in-depth interviews in the field of physics, mathematics, and life science in Korea, performance expectancy, perceived risks, socio-organizational influence, and individual characteristics were found to have substantial influences on the adoptive intention of IRs. Among the key factors, individual characteristics showed the greatest effect on the adoptive intention of IRs, followed by performance expectancy and other socio-organizational influences except for the perceived risks. Strategies to enhance the adoptive intention of IRs based on analyses of the results were suggested, in terms of the reformation of research assessment system at the national level, strengthening of role of the operational institution, and the need for voluntary scientists-participating service.
