WBI는 시간과 공간의 제약 없이 다양한 교수 전략의 구사와 실감나는 교육매체의 활용을 가능하게 하여, 교사-학습자 또는 학습자-학습자 상호간의 교육 교육효과를 증진시킬 수 있는 환경을 제공한다. 그러나 WBI는 하이퍼텍스트의 링크로 연결된 일차원적 가상공간에 실시되므로 학습자의 인지적 부하를 가중시키고 학습방향 상실의 문제점을 야기시킨다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 동적 학습공간 모델을 제시하고 이를 구현하였다. 동적 학습공간 모델은 전체 학습공간이 투명하게 지도(Hpyper-Map)형태로 나타나고 공간 노드간의 관계가 명확하여, 학습 위치와 내용을 확실하게 파악할 수 있다. 또한 학습공간이 학습자에 의해 자발적으로 구성됨에 따라, 학습자 수준별 열린 학습이 가능하고, 학습 구성 능력을 신장시켜 학습의 주도권을 주체적으로 행사할 수 있도록 하는 창조적 학습 분위기를 조성할 수 있다.

과학에서 사용하는 모델은 자연 그 자체가 아니면 자연을 단순화하여 표현한 표상이다. 그렇기 때문에 각 모델은 자연을 표상하기 위한 특정한 알고리즘을 갖는다. 그러므로 과학 모델에 대한 이해는 자연을 표상하기 위한 특정한 알고리즘이 무엇인지에 대한 이해가 필수적이다. 이러한 특정한 알고리즘에 대한 이해와 이를 바탕으로 한 다른 현상의 예측과 설명을 위한 도구로 본 논문은 스크래치를 활용하였다. 또한 과학의 모델에 대한 이해의 소재로 대학생뿐만 아니라 많은 과학교사 조차도 대안개념에 머물러 있는 뜨거나 가라앉는 현상을 선정하였다. 연구대상은 K대학원 교육대학원 멀티미디어와 과학교육을 수강한 17명의 과학교사이며, 스크래치를 통해 기본 알고리즘 3시간, 응용 알고리즘 3시간을 투입하였다. 모델에 대한 이해를 위해 뜨거나 가라 앉는 현상에 때한 LP설문지를 사전, 사후검사에 실시하였다. 1차적으로 양적변화를 통해 이 현상에 대한 개념의 수준의 변화를 알아보았으며, 2차적으로 인터뷰와 자기보고식 설문지를 이용하여 모델에 대한 이해를 질적으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 과학교사들은 현상에 대한 개념에 대한 수준이 상승하였으며, 질적자료 분석 결과, 모델에 대한 깊은 이해(depth)와 전이능력(transfer)이 증가하였다. 이는 스크래치를 통해 과학 모델의 이해를 높일 수 있음을 시사한다.

This research examined the changes that fast-growing voice-based devices would bring in the media multitasking environment. Based on the theoretical background that information processing efficiency improves when performing multiple tasks requiring different resource structures at the same time, we conducted an experiment where participants searched for information with voice-based or screen-based devices while performing an additional visual task. Results showed that both task performance environment and interface modality had significant main effects on cognitive load. The overall cognitive load level was higher in the voice interface group, but the difference in cognitive load between the two groups decreased in a multitasking environment where the additional visual resources was required. The visual task performance was significantly higher when using the voice interface than the screen interface. Our findings suggest that voice interfaces offered advantages in the cognitive load and task performance by distributing two tasks to the auditory and visual channels. The results of this study imply that voice-based devices have the potential to facilitate efficient information processing in the screen-centric environment where visual resources collide. We provided theoretical evidence of resource distribution using multiple resource theory and tried to identify the advantages of the voice interface more specifically based on the threaded cognition model.

Neurocognitive testing commonly uses the MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination) to evaluate the overall cognitive function of patients at outpatient clinics, but the MMSE has recently been extensively used in the SNSB II (Seoul Neuropsychological Screening Battery II) for making diagnoses. We retrospectively investigated the results of routine neurocognitive tests and the results of the blood tests of 120 elderly patients who had been referred to a South Central Medical Center from 2017 to 2018 and who had been examined at a public health center. These subjects' space-time capability was high on the sub-region of the global deterioration scale (GDS). GDS showed a significant increase as the Na decreased on the electrolyte analysis. The subjects' concentration, their language-based orientation for space and time, their memory, and their scores for the frontal lobe function on GDS showed statistically significant reductions (P<0.001) For the normal and abnormal groups according to the ALT and creatinine levels, the frontal/execute function areas showed statistically significant differences (P<0.001) as well as negative correlation between GDS and ALT (P<0.01). In conclusion, this study provides basic information to develop test items that are important for patient screening and diagnosis, and several routine blood chemistry factors provide basic information for diagnosing and assessing the status and progress of cognitively impaired patients.

The purpose of this study is to analyze gender gaps in wage and job satisfaction according to skill characteristics and gender composition in occupation type. Most of the previous studies dealing with gender gaps in wage and job satisfaction have limitations in using a model at a single level. To overcome these limitations, this study integrated the analysis of worker level and job level variables through the application of hierarchical linear model. For the empirical analysis, the 20th year of the Korea Labor Institute Panel Survey and Korea Network for Occupations and Workers data used, factor analysis was utilized to derive cognitive, technical and physical skills. According to the empirical results, female workers in the metropolitan area showed lower average wage and job satisfaction than male worker. these gender gaps were alleviated in occupations which requiring a high level of cognitive skill, while deepening in occupation with a high occupational segregation. The purpose of this study is to derive implications for the policy aimed at reducing the gender gap in the labor market by analyzing the relationship between gender gaps in wage and job satisfaction according to skill characteristics and gender composition rates of wage workers in the metropolitan area.

Small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) face a number of different kinds of barriers to adopt information technology, including the lack of information, limited financial and technical resources, and absence of the well-trained work force in the realm of information technology. But application service provider (ASP)enables these SMEs to informatize. This paper is focused on studying the cases of the adoption and use of the ASP-based ERP systems that 7 SME shad adopted. The factors that influence the adoption and use of SMEs' ASP-based ERP systems are divided into the user companies that adopted the systems, the systems vendors, and environment. From the viewpoint of the user company, the successful adoption and use of the systems is significantly influenced by the clear motive of adopting the systems, the financial readiness, and the strong intention of CEO for pushing ahead with e-Business. From the systems vendor, it is influenced by the technical expertise of the vendor, the knowledge of the user company, and the experience of the systems development. From the perspective of environment, it is influenced by the push from the players in the value chains. The companies that had adopted the ASP-based ERP systems and that had extended the level of systems use had the benefits through reducing the cost, improving the internal business process, and achieving the learning and growth of the organization.

The purpose of this study was to examine the working memory that is related with reading. For this purpose, the third and fourth grade children with reading difficulty were compared with normal children. The gender comparison and the correlations among the three components of working memory were also examined. The results indicated that the reading difficulty group were outperformed by the normal group in every test. Gender difference was found only in visuospatial capacity. There was an interaction between reading and gender in the memory of dynamic mazes. In the whole group, every correlation among all components was significant. When the correlations were examined separately in each group, however, only one correlation was significant in both groups. When the influence of the central executive was controlled, the interrelationship between phonological working memory and visuospatial working memory was mitigated. This study suggests that when teaching children with reading difficulty instructional material should be succinct and visuospatial information needs to be used for boys if possible.

Dancers' motions are perceived by observers through visual processes with visual information forming the basis for the observers' appreciation and evaluation of the dancers' motions. There have been many discussions as to whether or not observers' personal athletic capabilities form an essential basis for accurate assessment of the motions of others but, so far, no valid conclusions have been reached. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the ability to predict motions of others varies depending on the athletic expertise of the observers. Participants of this research were ballet dancers of varying athletic expertise. Twenty seven participants were divided into three groups with nine in each: beginners, intermediate experts and experts. The participants watched the same dance video and then evaluated whether the motion would be successful or not. The movement related visual information required to evaluate the success of the motion was systematically adjusted by controlling the length of the video. Using the temporal occlusion method, this study measured the response accuracy of the participants by category of expertise. Under the circumstance with insufficient visual information to utilize, the experts showed higher rates of correct response than the intermediate experts and the beginners. The beginners showed higher rates of wrong response than the experts and the intermediate experts. These results showed that the ability to predict success or failure of a dance motion varied depending on motion expertise of the observers, although they had similar level of expertise in perception. Participants considered to have high athletic expertise showed high prediction ability on the result of the motion. In addition, high expertise in perception reduced the likelihood that participants would make hasty responses under the circumstance with insufficient information and helped to reduce wrong response rate. In conclusion, this study showed that motor expertise and perceptual expertise contribute to prediction accuracy of observed motions.

What matters in the society of knowledge and information is not that they just know certain facts, but that when faced with new situations, they should be able to develop novel ideas, apply them and do the problems or the tasks confronting them. This cannot be achieved through learning of mere knowledge. Computer programming lessons have shown positive effects on general thinking ability, metacognitive aspects, and logical thinking. The ACM has suggested that 8th grade students at the first level (second year students of middle school) be educated in programming languages such as LOGO to raise their ability to think logically. Previous studies have confirmed educational programming languages such as LOGO and BASIC, which are currently used, are helpful in improving the ability to think logically and to solve problems. However these languages lack connectivity with later learning. Little research has been done on 'Dolittle', an educational programming language, newly developed, using object-oriented notions. Few studies have been made of the effects of 'Dolittle' on the ability to think logically. The following results were obtained. The research didn't lead to a statistically significant improvement of the students' cognitive development level. However, proportional logic and combinational logic, among the six subcategories of logic, improved through the introduction of 'Dolittle' programming lessons. This leads to the conclusion that in the processing of solving the problems given, the students learned by themselves and improved their ability to think logically.

The connectionist model is one approach to studying language processing from a computational perspective. And building a representation in the connectionist model study is just as important as making the structure of the model in that it determines the level of learning and performance of the model. The connectionist model has been constructed in two different ways: localist representation and distributed representation. However, the localist representation used in the previous studies had limitations in that the unit of the output layer having a rare target activation value is inactivated, and the past distributed representation has the limitation of difficulty in confirming the result by the opacity of the displayed information. This has been a limitation of the overall connection model study. In this paper, we present a new method to induce distributed representation with local representation using abstraction of information, which is a feature of restricted Boltzmann machine, with respect to the limitation of such representation of the past. As a result, our proposed method effectively solves the problem of conventional representation by using the method of information compression and inverse transformation of distributed representation into local representation.
