If we, as educators, want to put students at the center of learning in science classroom, we must let students express their voices and exercise authority. To do this, we developed a classroom activity about 'Making a pet poster', and then we explored how elementary school students perceived their roles and expressed their authority during this activity. Fourth grade students from an elementary school in the city of Seoul participated in the activity, which was videotaped and recorded. We found that students expressed their epistemic authority differently in small group activities and in whole group discussions. In small group activities, they desired to show their authority as "pet experts" by using and selecting various resources from their everyday lives and transforming those resources into suitable forms in public spaces. Meanwhile, in whole group discussions, participants were classified as either presenters or audience members to verify their authority in regard to the pet poster activity; presenters desired to achieve recognition as "pet experts," and audience members assessed the presenters as "testers." In addition, they expressed authority as teachers by leading the whole group discussions. Based on these findings, this paper suggests the implications for new educational strategies to foster a student-centered learning environment.

This study derived optimized teaching aids that use the physical computing method as the solution for effective software education at the elementary level. We set standard for selecting physical computing teaching aids in elementary-level by gathering the opinions from previous studies and think tanks and then applied the standard to some aids and choose one. We also made lesson plan and tried it to the experimental group. Subsequently, students' logical thinking skills showed a statistically significant improvement in terms of the t-test. Also, in the analysis of the effect size, it was shown to have a positive influence on the improvement of the students' logical thinking skills. Additionally, survey of satisfaction evaluation from the students showed that the teaching aid selection standard was effective in selecting suitable teaching aids for elementary students and that the classroom activities utilizing physical computing teaching aids were at a suitable level for elementary students.

사진의 디지털화와 대중화라는 말이 새삼스럽게 느껴지지 않을 만큼 사진은 너무도 친숙한 일상이 되었다. 똑딱이(콤팩트 디지털카메라) 카메라뿐만 아니라 전문가의 전유물로만 여겨졌던 DSLR(렌즈교환식 디지털카메라)의 보급률도 급속하게 높아지고 있다. 그러나 필자의 경험을 비추어보건데 카메라의 기능을 제대로 이해하고 정확하게 사용할 줄 아는 이들이 많지 않을 것이라 추측된다. 필자 역시 사진에 대해 깊이 몰랐을 적에는 항상 '자동(AUTO)모드'로만 촬영을 했다. 이후 자치구 문화원에서 사진에 관한 평생학습과정을 수료하고 사진동아리 활동과 함께 일주일에 한번정도 계속적으로 촬영에 나서면서 사진에 대한 지식과 경험을 쌓게 되었다. 사진학과도 나오지 않은 필자가 초보자를 위한 촬영 가이드를 요청받았을때 부끄럽기도 했으나 '과부 심정 홀아비가 안다'는 속담처럼 사진을 배우는 입장에서 다른 초보자들도 필자와 같은 궁금증이 있을 것이라 생각하여 용기를 내어 필자가 촬영현장에서 느꼈던 경험들을 쉽게 풀어 설명하고자 한다. 사진에 대해 알아가면 갈수록 사진은 빛으로 쓰는 언어라고 감히 정의를 내려본다. 이번호부터 필자와 함께 빛을 찍는 사진의 세계를 같이 탐구해 보도록 하자.

"e" 시대로 대변되는 21세기는 정보화라는 짧은 과도기적인 사회변화 상태를 지나 지식이 새로운 국가 경쟁력으로 평가되는 지식기반사회로 급속하게 이전하고 있다. 이와 같은 현실은 언제(Any-Time), 어디서 (Any-Where), 누구나(Any-One) 지식을 효과적으로 활용할 수 있는 수단으로 e-learning이 교육의 새로운 패러다임으로 각광받고 있다. 하지만 현재의 e-learning은 기존의 오프라인의 교육 운영 형태를 그대로 답습함으로서 전문가에 의해 매뉴얼화 된 프로세스 정보를 매개로 학습활동이 이뤄지고 있으며 서비스제공환경의 제약으로 인해 개인의 참여와 사용자간 참여의 한계에 직면해 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 e-learning의 문제점을 개선하고자 상호 작용성을 통한 사회적 실재감(Social Presence)을 느낄 수 있도록 차세대 Web인 Web2.0의 적용을 통해 e-learning 활성화 방안을 모색하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was to develop and to explore the possibility of the virtual reality based communication training program(VR-CTP) for students with intellectual disabilities. To do this, sentences and dialogue of program were extracted from the National Common Basic Curriculum of Special School and the contents design of program were developed based on the consultation by special education experts. To explore the possibility of applying the VR-CTP, a usability evaluation was conducted with 30 special school teachers and 44 students with intellectual disabilities. The results showed that the VR-CTP had a high level of usability as the special school teachers received 4.23 and the students with intellectual disabilities received 4.44 out of 5. But there is no difference of usability evaluation on the special teachers' school level and teaching experiences without arrangement of school. Also, there is no difference of usability evaluation on the students' IQ, school level, and arrangement of school. As a result of this study, we can draw a conclusion that there is a possibility of applying the VR-CTP to language education for students with intellectual disabilities.

Humanities are as crucial as the technology itself in the intelligent information society. Human-centered convergence information technology (IT), which reflects emotional and human nature, can be considered a unique technology with an optimistic outlook in the unpredictable future. Based on this research background, this paper proposed an education model that can improve the IT humanities capabilities of various learners, including elementary and secondary students, prospective teachers, incumbent teachers, school managers, and the general public, through analysis of previous studies on convergence education models. Furthermore, the practical aspects of the proposed model were closely examined so that the proposed education model could be stably incorporated and utilized in the educational field. There are seven strategies for implementing the education model proposed in this paper, including research on textbooks, teaching and learning materials, activation of research results, maker space creation, global joint research, online education operation, developing living lab governance, and diversification of self-sustaining platforms for sustainable and practical education. In the future, validity verification through expert Delphi is required as a follow-up study.

This study aims to analyze both the current utilization of e-learning in the scuba diving education sector and the possible improvements by using Delphi analysis. The study administered three rounds of Delphi surveys with 25 specialists, including business executives and educational leaders from scuba diving centers and resorts affiliated with organizations that conduct scuba diving education through e-learning. The comparative analysis of the state of e-learning utilization and factors for improvement revealed significant insights. In terms of expected benefits, the analysis highlighted an increase in user convenience, temporal flexibility in learning activities, and easy access to products. However, it identified major issues such as the simplistic mandatory exams, inadequate professional depth in the feedback provided, and a lack of bidirectional communication between learners and instructors. Recommendations for improvements included enhancing communication through various online communities, conducting mandatory exams offline, and developing a variety of content. Conducting regular program quality evaluations, integrating with various diving communities, and assigning dedicated tutors were deemed crucial factors for future development.

This study aims to develop a field trip program for the Hantan River geopark in Pocheon using Orion's field trip model. The selected learning sites were the Hwajeogyeon and Bidulginang Falls, famous geosites of the Hantan River geopark in Pocheon. The field trip program consisted of six preparatory units, two field trip units, and two summary units. The preparatory stage helped reduce the novelty space considering cognitive, psychological, and geographical factors. In the field trip stage, students acquire concepts linked to learning elements in the curriculum scientifically and encourage interest in science. In the summary stage, students organized the geological phenomena observed in the field and inferred the vicinity of the Pocheon Hantan River region. The field trip program was modified to give enough time for observation activities to increase students' interest in science and to connect concepts with learning elements in the curriculum in the outdoor learning phase to allow students' convergent thinking. Implementing the field trip program raises students' interest and attitude in science.

In this paper, we present a new model of web-based reading education system. The existing web-based reading education system was effective to reinforce interactions of the learners and elevate their reading interests, but the usability of web-based system was extremely unsatisfied during the process of reading required for a long time because it placed importance on the guidance as a result of reading. This paper has divided reading education activities depending upon the times: before reading, during reading and after reading, etc. Web-based reading strategies, which can be actively used at each stage, have been developed to do interaction actively among teachers, students and their parents. Furthermore, application methods of the strategies have been presented depending upon teaching-learning type of Korean language subject, such as professional's cooperative learning and problem solving learning, etc to revitalize reading guidance of regular Korean language class time.
