There are two ways in general for evaluating the accomplishments used by the universities, one is relative evaluation, the other is absolute evaluation. Recently, Korean universities have had the problem with score inflation due to absolute evaluation. The advantage of relative evaluation compared with absolute evaluation is for us to distinguish one's academic accomplishments from others. However, relative evaluation would lead to over-competition. Through this paper, I tired to analyze how cooperative learning influences the academic accomplishments under relative evaluation. Cooperative learning in the relative evaluation of student accomplishments conducted were divided into three groups. And analyzed a result and following presented about the research which in necessary.

Community Business is defined as profit-making enterprise for which a community residents can take to solve their own problems. It is comprised of some sequential activities: identifying problems, collective learning, organization. In rural South Korea, the central and local governments are promoting Community Businesses. However, the related policy programs are missing the very important perspective that self-help approach be essential in Community Business. Therefore, the policy programs should be changed so that they could effectively help community's autonomous practice.

This study was to compare the contents and practical problems addressed, the process of teaching-learning method, and evaluation method of Korean Home Economics curriculum and of the Oregon and Ohio's Practical Problem Focused Family & Consumer Sciences Curricula. The results are as follows. First, contents of Korean curriculum are organized by major sub-concepts of Home Economics academic discipline whereas curricular of both Oregon and Ohio states are organized by practical problems. Oregon uses the practical problems which integrate multi-subjects and Ohio uses ones which are good for the contents of the module by integrating concerns or interests which are lower or detailed level (related interests). Since it differentiates interest and module and used them based on the basic concept of Family and Consumer Science, Ohio's approach could be easier for Korean teachers and students to adopt. Second, the teaching-learning process in Korean home economics classroom is mostly teacher-centered which hinders students to develop higher order thinking skills. It is recommended to use student-centered learning activities. State of Oregon and Ohio's teaching-learning process brings up the ability of problem-solving by letting students clearly analyze practical problems proposed, solve problems by themselves through group discussions and various activities, and apply what they learn to other problems. Third, Korean evaluation system is heavily rely on summative evaluation such as written tests. It is highly recommended to facilitate various performance assessment tools. Since state of Oregon and Ohio both use practical problems, they evaluate students mainly based on their activity rather than written tests. The tools for evaluation include project documents, reports of learning activity, self-evaluation, evaluation of discussion activity, peer evaluation in a group for each students for their performance, assessment about module, and written tests as well.

The standards for school library in America affected school library policy in US as well as worlds. The America standards for school library established by NEA for the first time in 1920. After the first standard established, America standards revised about 10 times to accommodate educational and technological changes. The Americas new school library standards 'empowering learners: guidelines for school library media programs' established by AASL in 2009. The guidelines are relevant to the 'standards for the 21st-century learner', 'standards for the 21st-century learner in action'. The guidelines expected to affect US as well as school library policy of worlds. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the 'standards for the 21st-century learner' and 'standards for the 21st-century learner in action'. The standard for 21st-century learner offer vision for teaching and learning to both guide and beckon our profession as education leaders. They will both shape the library program and serve as a tool for library media specialists to use to shape the learning of students in the school. The standards for the 21st-century learner in action offer how are AASL's new learning standards, the standards for the 21st-century learner, incorporated into the school library.

This study aims to investigate the primary teachers' perception of social emotional learning (SEL) in Malawi. To achieve this purpose, total 78 questionnaires were gathered from 9 primary schools in rural area. The data was analyzed with independent-samples t-test, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The results of this study are follows. First, the sub-factors of the Malawian primary teachers' perception of SEL shows that Comfort is 4.10, Commitment is 4.59, and Culture is 3.78. Second, there was a significant difference in the Malawian primary teachers' perception by age, years of teaching, and participation to in-service training about SEL among the individual characteristics. Third, the Malawian primary teachers' degree of implementation of SEL in school was 4.01, and there was a significant difference by years of teaching. Forth, among the sub-factors of teachers' perception of SEL, Comfort had a positive effect on the degree of implementation of SEL. This result implied that the reason why Malawian primary teachers had difficulty in implementing SEL in the school might be not a lack of individual competence but feel uncomfortable with implementation. Therefore, in order to implement SEL in the Malawi school, it is necessary to support teachers so they have confidence and comfort psychologically.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether and how the features of performance assessments implemented during integrated science classes are related to teachers' PCK. We observed and video recorded four high school teachers' performance assessment practices, interviewed them, and surveyed their PCK. An analysis of the data shows that the teachers' performance assessment practices differed in terms of assessment of process, diagnosis of student learning progress, feedback, degree of classroom interactions, and use of assessment criteria. In particular, the opportunities for students to participate in assessment actively and use of assessment for learning varied across teachers. Also, relational patterns among science teaching orientations, PCK and performance assessment practices were found. When a teacher aimed at teaching for both academic learning and scientific literacy, sophisticated PCK was shown and assessment practices were complex accordingly. When scientific literacy was emphasized PCK highlighted experiential learning and assessments were not clearly distinguished from learning activities. In contrast, when academic achievement was emphasized traditional teaching strategies and assessments were highlighted. Based on these findings a number of topics for professional development are suggested including strategies for students' active engagement in assessment, use and development of specific assessment criteria, strategies for assessing performance qualities, and intuitive assessment competency development. Further research topics are also suggested.
