The purpose of this study is to examine the problems in the teaching practice of beginning science teachers who participated in the collaborative mentoring program to improve their teaching expertise. The participants were six beginning science teachers and six mentors at middle and high school levels. From each beginning science teacher and mentor teacher, journals, one-to-one mentoring records and transcripts, interviews and questionnaires, and transcripts conducted at the beginning, middle and the end of the mentoring program were collected. Seven aspects of the beginning science teachers' problems in their teaching practice were identified. The result showed that mentee teachers didn't set up specific learning objectives and they organized and presented lesson contents without considering students' proficiency level. Also, they found it hard to prepare for the lessons irrelevant to their major field of study and they tended to use convergent questions more than divergent questions. Mentee teachers tend to give teacher-centered rather than student-centered teaching. Beginning teachers' recognition of their problems in their teaching practice tends to lead changes in their teaching practice. Some of the problems that mentee teachers showed could be overcome if they recognized the problem through the collaborative mentoring program, but if not, it tends to remain throughout mentoring program.This study also highlighted the importance of reflection on beginning science teachers' practice.

실시간 태스크의 최악 실행시간을 예측할 때 과예측이 발생하는 원인은, 첫째 프로그램의 동적인 최악 실행 행태를 정적으로 분석하는 것이 근본적으로 어렵기 때문이며, 둘째 최근의 RISC 형태 프로세서에 포함되어 있는 파이프라인 실행 구조와 캐쉬 등이 그러한 정적 분석을 더욱 어렵게 만들기 때문이다. 그런데 기존의 연구에서는 각각의 과예측 원인을 해결하기 위한 방법에 대해서만 언급하고 있을 뿐 분석의 정확도에서 각 원인이 차지하는 비중에 대해서는 언급하고 있지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 최악 실행시간 예측시 과예측을 유발하는 원인들, 즉 분석 요소들의 영향을 정량적으로 조사함으로써 기존의 최악 실행시간 분석 기법들이 보완해야 할 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 실험이 특정 분석 기법에 의존하지 않도록 하기 위하여 시뮬레이션 방법에 기반한다. 이를 위해 분석 요소별 스위치가 포함된 MIPS R3000 프로세서를 위한 시뮬레이터를 구현하였는데, 각 스위치는 해당 분석 요소에 대한 분석의 정확도 수준을 결정한다. 모든 스위치 조합에 대해서 시뮬레이션을 반복 수행한 다음 분산 분석을 수행하여 어떤 분석 요소가 가장 큰 영향을 끼치는지 고찰한다.Abstract Existing analysis techniques for estimating the worst case execution time (WCET) of real-time tasks still suffer from significant overestimation due to two types of overestimation sources. First, it is unavoidably difficult to predict dynamic behavior of programs statically. Second, pipelined execution and caching found in recent RISC-style processors even more complicate such a prediction. Although these overestimation sources have been attacked in many existing analysis techniques, we cannot find in the literature any description about questions like which one is most important. Thus, in this paper, we quantitatively analyze the impacts of overestimation sources on the accuracy of the worst case timing analysis. Using the results, we can identify dominant overestimation sources that should be analyzed more accurately to get tighter WCET estimations. To make our method independent of any existing analysis techniques, we use simulation based methodology. We have implemented a MIPS R3000 simulator equipped with several switches, each of which determines the accuracy level of the timing analysis for the corresponding overestimation source. After repeating simulation for all of the switch combinations, we perform the variance analysis and study which factor has the largest impact on the accuracy of the predicted WCETs.

Objective : In this study, the upper extremity use, executive function, and occupational performance effects of cognitive orientation to daily occupational performance (CO-OP) interventions for patients with stroke were assessed. Methods : The study was designed as a single-group pre-post test with 20 sessions. The participants were five hospitalized patients with stroke who were present in a rehabilitation setting, and their onsets were more than 3 months previously. Outcomes were measured using the Canadian Occupation Performance Measure (COPM), Performance Quality Rating Scale (PQRS), Executive Function performance Test - Korean version (EFPT-K), and Motor Activity Log (MAL). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was conducted to determine the difference between the pre-and-post of CO-OP interventions. The statistical significance level was p<.05. Results : The upper extremity function showed significant changes and the execution function showed significant changes in preparation, sequencing, judgment and safety, and closing, except for items to be started. The performance of the task also showed significant changes. Conclusion : Through 20 sessions of CO-OP interventions, especially in patients with chronic stroke, the upper extremity function, execution function, and task performance were improved. We found that CO-OP intervention had a positive effect on the improvement of detailed task elements as well as the performance of tasks overall, in patients with stroke.

In this study, we examine whether the description of the elementary science curriculum guide, the concept of evolution, and the beliefs of teachers affect the teaching practice in classes related to adaptation of elementary school teachers. First, we examined the alternative concept among the sentences described in the bio-adaptation-related unit of the 2009 Elementary Science Curriculum Teacher's Guide and identified the effects of this description on the teaching practice of elementary school teachers. Next, six elementary school teachers were classified according to the results of the evolutionary concept test paper and the evolutionary belief test paper, and based on the class recording data and interview data, whether there is a difference in teaching execution. As a result, it was confirmed that there were a total of 18 descriptions corresponding to the concept of evolutionary alternatives in the analysis of instruction descriptions, and that these descriptions influenced elementary school teachers' adaptation concepts and teaching practice. Next, the group with high and low levels of evolution differ in the areas of "recognition of importance in the unit, distinction between adaptation concepts in the general sense and adaptation concepts in the biological sense, errors in the class," and "recognition of evolutionary education needs in the elementary curriculum." This study is meaningful in that it qualitatively confirms the research on the evolution concept of elementary school teachers, which has been approached quantitatively, and in-depth, confirms how the description, evolution concepts, and evolutionary beliefs affect elementary school teachers' biological adaptation concepts.

The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of abuse, neglect, and excessive interference of parents on adolescent aggression in the longitudinal context and examine the moderating effect of playing computer game theoretically guided by the flow theory. 2,351 adolescents from the Korean Children & Youth Panel Survey was analyzed using Linear Mixed Effects Regression procedures. Primary findings are as follows: (1) adolescents with higher level of abuse or excessive interference showed higher level of aggression. (2) the aggression level of adolescents with higher level of abuse or excessive interference consistently decreased over time. (3) the link between abuse and aggression was significantly moderated by playing computer game. In conclusion, the negative effect of the abuse on adolescent aggression could be significantly decreased by playing computer game.

This study was executed to give a help in planning and implementing online learning. For this purpose this study investigated the effect of contents presentation types, levels and metacognition on concept map composition and learning process in online learning. Learning contents types were two, meaning-centered or context-centered. Contents levels were divided into two; basic or deficient. Metacognition was divided into two levels according to the scores of scale. Results showed that meaning-centered type(M=45.00, SE=1.97) got better scores in concept map than context-centered(M=34.71, SE=1.98), Presentation levels and metacognition had no significant influence on concept map. There were interaction effect(F=.002, p>.05) between presentation levels and metacogntion levels. The upper group in metacognition got higher score in deficient types whereas the lower group got higher score in basic type. In online learning process, learner's metacognition was an important factor to complement the contents' defect and lack.

Despite the recent emphasis on mathematical communication, little practical guide has been provided for a teacher with what to do for orchestrating high-quality discussions in a mathematics classroom. This paper analyzed 20 elementary mathematics lessons which were recognized as effective instruction in Korea using an analytic framework with regard to 5 practices for orchestrating productive mathematics discussions (i.e., anticipating, monitoring, selecting, sequencing, & connecting) by Smith and Stein (2011) in terms of performance scales from Level 0 to 3. The results of this study showed that the most frequent levels were Level 1 including undesirable practices and Level 2 including insufficient practices. There were only one or two lessons per practice which were assessed as Level 3 of good performance. Specifically, Level 2 was the most frequent with regard to monitoring and selecting, whereas Level 1 was the most frequent as for the other practices. This paper provides some implications for co-ordinating productive mathematics discussions.

The number of applications of small embedded systems such as PDAs, electronic note books, etc. based on Kinux, have increased. Due to the monolithic characteristic of Linux kernel, it is not suitable to satisfy the various kinds of embedded application requirement. To assist the shortcoming of monolithic kernel, we implement uJFFS 113th file system as an application program process which runs in user space. This solution consists of a file system and a flash device driver, and makes Linux kernel smaller by separating the file system from the kernel. uJFFS consists of ujffs_fs that plays a part of file system and ujffs_drv that controls a flash device. Which provides the same user interface as Linux does. A Device driver for the physical device is implemented in user pace, which prevents kernel failures from file system errors. So uJFFS can increase stability of the system.
