해양사고의 원인을 파악하기 위해 해양사고 관련자의 특성(연령별, 해기면허별)을 분석해보면, 상급 항해사가 관련된 사고는 33.5%이며, 하급 항해사가 관련된 사고는 64.1%로 항해사의 급수별로 해양사고 관련 비율에 차이가 있으며, 특히 하급 항해사가 관련된 해양사고의 비율이 상급 항해사와 비교할 때 상대적으로 높았다. 이러한 하급해기사 면허 소자자의 경우 그 동안 상급 해기사 면허 소지자에 비해 해기교육을 이수할 기회가 적었으므로, 기초적인 부분에 대한 교육이 먼저 이루어져아 할 것으로 판단된다. 그러므로, 이러한 기초적인 부분에 대한 교육을 수행할 수 있는 사무실 환경에 보급이 가능한 보급형 시뮬레이션 시스템 개발이 필요하다. 이에, 하급 항해사의 과실에 의해 발생되는 사고를 줄일 수 있도록 비교적 영세한 해운업체에도 보급이 가능한 하급 해기사 평가용 시뮬레이션 시스템을 개발하였다.

매년 높은 비율의 전기안전사고가 발생하지만 예방교육은 단순한 영상홍보나 단순 텍스트를 이용한 교육 수준에서 주입식으로 이루어지고 있다. 항공, 군사, 전력산업 등 다양한 분야에서는 가상현실을 이용한 체험형 교육 시스템이 개발되어 운영되지만 전기안전 예방교육은 감전사고와 같은 특수한 상황의 체험과 사고를 유발시킬 수 있다는 측면에서 체험형 교육시스템이 개발 및 적용이 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전기감전 체험교육 시스템에 저주파 자극 장치를 사용할 수 있도록 저주파 간섭형 자극기를 이용한 인체 자극의 임계값 산출시험을 실시하고 대표적으로 성별, 연령별(아동 및 성인 구분)로 구분하여 적절한 자극값을 산출하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 전기안전사고 예방을 위한 체험형 예방 교육 시스템에 활용이 가능할 것이다.

Accidents at construction sites have a very high rate of fatalities due to the nature of being prone to severe injury patients. In order to reduce the mortality rate of severely injury patients, quick response is required, and some systems that detect accidents using AI technology and cameras have been devised to respond quickly to accidents. However, since existing accident detection systems use only a single camera, there are blind spots, Thus, they cannot detect all accidents at a construction site. Therefore, in this paper, we present the system that minimizes the detection blind spot by using multiple cameras. Our implemented system extracts feature points from the images of multiple cameras with the YOLO-pose library, and inputs the extracted feature points to a Long Short Term Memory-based recurrent neural network in order to detect accidents. In our experimental result, we confirme that the proposed system shows high accuracy while minimizing detection blind spots by using multiple cameras.

The purposes of this study are: (1) to develop educational program designed to improve high school students' knowledge integration and their system thinking skills about global warming and (2) to identify the change of students' system thinking level. The developed program was implemented to twenty seven high school students, and six students grouped into three highs and three lows in their performance were selected to analyze their level of system thinking. The word association, casual map and drawing were used to measure and identify any significant change. As a result, the low level system thinking group improved their system thinking skills for global warming and the earth and sub-systems after the intervention. However, participants' misconception remained the same. And the high level systems thinking group showed more organize system thinking skills about a global warming topic. It is suggested that more educational programs be developed on various topics in order for high school students to improve their systems thinking skills as well as knowledge integration of earth systems and earth environment in school curriculum.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the level and characteristics of system thinking of middle and high school students on cycle of matter in the Earth system considering the impact of human activities on the cycle. For this purpose, we developed items for assessment and assessment rubric through the analysis of 2015 revised curriculum and applying systems thinking, respectively. Middle and high school students who participated in the Korea Earth Science Olympiad were the subjects of this study. The level of system thinking was determined using the assessment rubric for student responses collected using items for assessment. The characteristics of system thinking were identified using word analysis. Based on these, the improvement of the curriculum considering the impact of human activities was discussed. The results of the study are as follows: first, the system thinking level of most secondary school students was low in identifying or classifying system elements for matter cycle, and high levels, such as system relationship or generalization of patterns, were found to be relatively small. It was found that students had a higher level of system thinking in the carbon cycle than in the water cycle. Second, in terms of the characteristics of system thinking about water cycle, water was recognized as a major system element and mainly related with evaporation between atmosphere and other system elements. Whereas, in the carbon cycle, carbon dioxide was regarded as a major system element, and photosynthesis and respiration were represented in relation with the biosphere. Third, for education considering the impact of human activities on the matter cycle in the Earth system, it is proposed improving the curriculum considering the socio-ecological system by extending the existing earth system.

The purposes of this study are to explore Iceberg(IB) model as a systems thinking analysis tool for high school students, suggest a systems thinking analysis method using rubrics and verify its validity and reliability. For this study, the theoretical basis was examined through literature analysis about IB model and rubrics of evaluating the systems thinking. And 6 high school students participated in IB model activity and were interviewed about polar climate change. In addition, quantitative tests using systems thinking scale were also conducted to support the results of the IB model activity analysis. Data obtained from IB model activity was analyzed by using the rubrics of evaluating system thinking developed by Hung (2008). The analysis results were reviewed by two professors to confirm the validity and reliability. In order to confirm the validity, correlation analysis were performed between the rubrics and the quantitative test results. Finding are as follows: Six students used the IB model to express their systems thinking in detail and the results of the systems thinking analysis of students using rubrics showed a distribution of 17~35 points. Furthermore, the results of correlation analysis between rubrics and systems thinking scale was highly correlated (Pearson product-moment is .856) on significance level from .05. Using the IB model introduced in this study, students express their systems thinking effectively and the results of the systems thinking analysis using IB model is considered to analyze validity and reliability. Based on the results of this study, implication suggests how to study the systems thinking in science education.
