In this study, the meteorology terms in the geography text books of North Korea which includes all of the meteorology educational contents in secondary school curriculum are compared with those in the earth science text books in South Korea. Forty science terms which are the same meaning but composed of different words are picked up to investigate the degree for 89 high school students in Chonnam province to perceive the meanings correctly. High school students' perceptions is on the average 30% higher in terminology of South Korea textbooks than in those of North Korea. But, students' perceptions on 9 North Korean terms is rather higher compared to South Korean terms. Twenty six (83.9%) terms which are difficult for high school students to perceive correct meanings are those lately composed of North Korean native words. Most of meteorology terms in South Korean textbooks are derived from the Chinese characters or imported from foreign language terms are easier for high school students to perceive correct meanings than those of North Korean terms derived from North Korean native language.

As computers are recognized as essential tools for our life and society, the use of computers has become increasingly important in education. The propose of this study is to grasp the level of students' understanding on basic terms used in computer textbooks for $4th{\sim}6th$ graders in Chungbuk and to investigate the existence of differences in students' understanding according to personal variables. The result of this study indicates that the level of students' understanding on basic terms in computer textbooks is very low. Also significant differences are found in students' understanding of terms according to location, grade, the possession of computers, computer-related learning experiences, instructional methods used in computer classes, interest in computer classes, participation level in computer classes and grade level.

In this study, the definition, the level of difficulty, and the certainty of the understanding of 113 astronomy terminologies from 2009 revised middle school geoscience textbooks were examined. And through further interviews, the types of students' misconceptions about astronomy terminologies and their representative terms - examples of misconceptions were analyzed. The definitions of the terms presented by the students were largely classified as correct, low-level, and incorrect understanding. And low-level understanding was subdivided into high-level definition descriptions, undifferentiated concepts, and incorrect answers were subdivided into interference by scientific misconception and lack of prior knowledge. Given that the misconceptions due to terminologies can be distinguished from the prior misconception, the misconceptions due to terminologies can be effectively prevented by changing the term itself. In addition, students were aware of the advantages and disadvantages of metaphorical terms, and the recognition of their level of understanding is expected to be a good starting point considering that recognizing their own misconceptions is the first step in correcting them. Terminologies in science education is always an important subject of discussions, striving to select the right term according to the times, and scientific terms may change. It is expected that the results of this study will be the basis for discussions on the modification of terms.

Understanding of mathematical terms plays one of the key factors in understanding and utilizing related mathematical contents. In order to understand such terms well, it is necessary to define and use them appropriately. In this study, we first investigate specific instances of inappropriate using or representing mathematical terms in elementary school mathematics textbooks from a mathematical point of view and a consistent point of view. We then suggest implications for using and representing such mathematical terms appropriately.

21세기를 지식정보화 시대라고 한다. 자고 나면 새로운 것이 발견되고 새로운 책들이 쓰여지는 지식 홍수의 시대라고 할 수 있다. 그 중에서도 컴퓨터 분야는 타 분야에 비해 매우 빠른 변화를 보이고 있으며, 새로운 제품들이 끊임없이 개발 보급되고 있다. 이로 인해 과거에 쓰이던 컴퓨터 용어가 사라지기도 하고, 기술의 발달로 인해 새로운 용어가 생겨나기도 한다. 컴퓨터를 배우거나 컴퓨터를 효과적으로 사용하기 위해서는 컴퓨터에 관련된 용어에 대해 바르게 알고 있어야 한다. 그러나 대부분의 사람들은 잘못된 컴퓨터 용어를 사용하거나 여러 가지 용어를 섞어서 사용하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 최근에 개발된 컴퓨터 교과서 편수자료를 바탕으로 하여 현재 초등학교에서 사용하고 있는 계량활동 컴퓨터 교과서에 나타난 컴퓨터 용어를 분석하고 기존의 연구 자료와 비교해 본 후에 초등학교 수준에 맞는 컴퓨터용어를 선정하고, 더 나아가서 정보통신기술교육 영역별로 컴퓨터 용어를 분류해 보고자 한다.

전문용어란 전문분야의 개념이 언어적으로 표현된 형태이다. 전문분야마다 분야 특성 적인 개념이 사용되므로, 전문용어는 전문분야를 특성화하는 단위로 사용된다. 따라서 전문분야문서에 대한 자연언어처리에서 전문용어를 효과적으로 처리하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 전문용어 추출은 분야 특성적인 전문용어를 해당 분야 문서에서 파악하는 작업을 말한다. 본 논문에서는 기계학습방법을 이용한 전문용어 자동 추출 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문의 기법은 전문분야 사전과 전문분야 문서를 이용하여 문서에서 나타나는 전문용어의 특성을 파악하고 이를 이용하여 전문용어를 추출한다. 본 논문의 기법은 70,000단어 수준의 영어 의학분야 300개 문서에 대하여 약 77%의 정확률로 전문용어를 추출하였다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the terms which were described in panels for astronomic article on exhibition at the Gwacheon National Science Museum, and to clarify that the terms were appropriate and easily understandable or not. In research, totally, 965 terms were collected in 52 panels(14 panels in planetarium, 17 panels in national history part, and 21 panels in traditional science part). All terms were categorized to 4types, as 1.Standard/Scientific terms, 2.Non-Standard/Scientific terms, 3.Standard/Non-Scientific terms, 4. Non-Standanrd/Non-Scientific casual words, based on 'Dictionary of Standard Korean' and 'Terminology of Astronomy'. And questionnaires survey was done to 24 in-service teachers at elementary school, middle school, and high school to clarify that the level of the terms are appropriate to students. The results of this study show that accurate scientific terms were 68.5%, and many of students had difficulty in understanding those scientific terms in the panels because of unfamiliarity. Therefore, in order to make students get more interest and better understanding, it is proposed to minimize scientific terms and to substitute them to casual terms which were related with practical life.

The purposes of this study were to analyze the level of Earth science vocabularies in the 10th grade textbooks with the Science Word Analysis (SWA) program and to investigate the vocabularies selected by the 10th grade students as difficult ones. For this purpose, we extracted the Earth science vocabularies from eleven textbooks, and classified into scientific and non-scientific vocabularies with the SWA program based on the standard Korean language dictionary. In addition, we investigated the difficulty of each vocabulary by surveying five hundred sixty students with a questionnaire. Results showed that the frequency of the scientific vocabularies that were beyond the designated level was the largest among any other levels in all textbooks. Most of the vocabularies selected by students as difficult ones to understand were classified into out of the level. From these results, it were suggested that the students' cognitive level should be considered when developing science textbooks and difficult vocabularies should be replaced with easy ones without a change of meaning.

Recent reseach in the field of medical information systems has paid much attention to an ontology based medical terminology system to support clinical study and effective information search. This study aims to conduct research for further application or construction of ontology systems in Korea. This research reviews the theory of concept modeling and ontology. and analyses 4 cases of conceptual modeling of medical tenrminologies by ontology, The findings ot this study display these specific characteristics in medscal ontologies: (UHe standardization of terrrinology on MeSH. (2) The conceptualization of tenninology on UMLS. (l) ane. (2) are showed as untormal ontologies. (3) The theory of ontology integration in ON9, (4) The reference model of medical knowledge with formalization in GALEN. (3) and (4) are showed as formal ontologies. The application and construction of ontology should be differentiated according to the level of the proposed system, and then this analysis will provide useful information for the researcher and developer of the system.
