The purpose of this study was to analyze the negative circumstances of Korean education and to provide some suggestions in terms of cultural psychology. Researcher considered the negative situation as Han(恨) to Korean people and analyzed it with the cultural psychological theories. In Korean culture, Han(恨) could be overcome by Shinmyeong which is known as a Korean unique positive emotional experience. According to results of a recent research, Han has been thought that it was the negative feeling from loss of self-worth, and Shinmyeong might be the feeling related with retrieval of self-worth. On the base of discussion about Shinmyeong, several psychological solutions to negative circumstances of Korean education were proposed.

This study aimed to analyze students' cognitive levels and the cognitive demands of mathematical concepts related to science to understand why students struggle to comprehend scientific concepts and tend to avoid learning them. Initially, the mathematics and science curricula of the 2015 revised curriculum were examined to extract learning elements related to mathematics within middle school science content. The Curriculum Analysis Taxonomy (CAT) was then employed to analyze the cognitive levels required by the learning content. In the domain of chemistry, among a total of 20 learning elements related to mathematics, 12 required an understanding at the level of initial formal manipulation (3A), while 3 necessitated comprehension at the level of later formal manipulation (3B). It was noted that cognitive logic types such as proportional reasoning, mathematical manipulation, and measurement skills were prominently employed in elements corresponding to both 3A and 3B. As for biology, out of 7 learning elements related to mathematics, 3 required an understanding at the level of initial formal manipulation (3A), and 2 necessitated comprehension at the level of later formal manipulation (3B). Elements corresponding to both 3A and 3B in biology predominantly involved correlational logic, indicating a somewhat different cognitive challenge compared to the domain of chemistry. Considering that the average percentage of middle school students capable of formal thinking, as analyzed through the GALT short form, was 12.1% for the first year, 16.6% for the second year, and 29.3% for the third year, it can be concluded that the cognitive demands of mathematics-related chemistry and biology learning content are relatively high compared to students' cognitive levels.

서답형 문항은 학생들의 종합적인 사고능력을 판단하는데 매우 유용하지만 채점할 때, 시간과 비용이 매우 많이 소요되고 채점자의 공정성을 확보해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 이러한 문제를 개선하기 위해 본 논문에서는 서답형 문항에 대한 자동채점 시스템을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 시스템은 크게 언어 처리 단계와 채점 단계로 나뉜다. 첫 번째로 언어 처리 단계에서는 형태소 분석과 같은 한국어 정보처리 시스템을 이용하여 학생들의 답안을 분석한다. 두 번째로 채점 단계를 진행하는데 이 단계는 아래와 같은 순서로 진행된다. 1) 첫 번째 단계에서 분석 결과가 완전히 일치하는 답안들을 하나의 유형으로 간주하여 각 유형에 속한 답안의 빈도수가 높은 순서대로 정렬하여 인간 채점자가 고빈도 학생 답안을 수동으로 채점한다. 2) 현재까지 채점된 결과와 모범답안을 학습말뭉치로 간주하여 자질 추출 및 자질 가중치 학습을 수행한다. 3) 2)의 학습 결과를 토대로 미채점 답안들을 군집화하여 분류한다. 4) 분류된 결과 중에서 신뢰성이 높은 채점 답안에 대해서 인간 채점자가 확인하고 학습말뭉치에 추가한다. 5) 이와 같은 방법으로 미채점 답안이 존재하지 않을 때까지 반복한다. 제안된 시스템을 평가하기 위해서 2013년 학업성취도 평가의 사회(중3) 및 국어(고2) 과목의 서답형 문항을 사용하였다. 각 과목에서 1000개의 학생 답안을 추출하여 채점시간과 정확률을 평가하였다. 채점시간을 전체적으로 약 80% 이상 줄일 수 있었고 채점 정확률은 사회 및 국어 과목에 대해 각각 98.7%와 97.2%로 나타났다. 앞으로 자동 채점 시스템의 성능을 개선하고 인간 채점자의 집중도를 높일 수 있도록 인터페이스를 개선한다면 국가수준의 대단위 평가에 충분히 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

The purposes of this study are to look into the changing processes of mathematical beliefs and attitudes of the students and to propose the plans how to manage cooperative learning, what can contribute to cognitive affective domains of mathematics learning in applying STAD-based cooperative loaming to mathematics class. So we, the researchers performed cooperative learning in the fifth grade of elementary school and did the exams of mathematical beliefs and attitudes, interviews, supplementary Questions. And students showed meaningful changes in 'the need of cooperative learning', 'critical thinking', 'the acceptance of thoughts of others'. Meanwhile, there were possibilities what all the members of one group can't recognize their errors in STAD, so we proposed 'Tongsinsa'. And we presented concrete methods how to reconstruct groups and somethings to consider when students are not satisfied with the group activities.

Various types of SW education are being operated by universities for non-major undergraduates. And most of them focus on educating computational thinking. Following this computing education, there is a need for an educational method that implements and evaluates creative computing outcomes for each student. In this paper, we propose a method to realize SW education based on creative computing artifacts. To do this, we propose an educational method for students to implement digital logic circuit devices creatively and design SW algorithms that implement the functions of their devices. The proposed training method teaches a simple LED logic circuit using an Arduino board as an example. Students creatively design and implement two pairs of two input logic circuit devices, and design algorithms that represent patterns of implemented devices in various forms. And they design the functional extension and extended algorithm using the input device. By applying the proposed method, non-major students can gain the concept and necessity of algorithm design through creative computing artifacts.

The aims of this paper were to review the usable possibility of the educational App Inventor Program in the field of programming education and to develop programming teaching materials that can overcome limitations of the established programming instruction. The study showed that the learners' motivations were strengthened through smart device programs. Containing the elements of STEAM, the teaching materials were developed for the logical and systematic learning that deals with elementary students' real-life situations, and that helps children follow the procedures of software development. By introducing the Waterfall Model to the process of programming, students are able to follow the software developers' thinking process. In addition, beyond the simplistic programming language and simply acquiring related knowledge, the App Inventor programming was designed to enhance students' higher-order thinking skills such as creativity, problem solving ability, collaborative thinking, and so forth.

The purpose of this study was to explore the meanings of science classes to elementary school teachers from a phenomenological perspective. Participants were twenty-eight elementary teachers who majored in elementary science education in a graduate school of education. The study revealed that meanings of science classes were not consistent but rather varied with what the teachers experienced. In their early career years, when the teachers were filled with enthusiasm, they devoted themselves to doing science-related school works as well as science lessons. But, the teachers were gradually concerned about good science teaching, and this concern became more severe as they realized the characteristics of science experiments and elementary school students. The teachers' concern did not actually develop into good science teaching practices because of such constraints as lots of school works, accidents in science labs, and household affairs. Despite these difficulties, the teachers revitalized their interest in science and resumed their effort for good science teaching. However, for "unfillable cups" to the elementary school teachers.

In this study, four gifted students in the second year of middle school at Gifted Education Center of the National University in Jeollanam-do were surveyed students' perceptions of the effectiveness of science class using science writing heuristic in terms of metacognition and the goals of the 2015 revised science curriculum. Through questionnaires and interviews with gifted science students, science gifted students recognized that the science class using science writing heuristic had a positive effect on the four subdomains (planning, monitoring, control, and evaluation) of metacognition. For this reason, the science gifted students presented self-directed experience in designing experiments, continually checking the collected experimental data, feedback process, and reflecting experience in preparing conclusions. Science gifted students recognized that science class using science writing heuristic had a positive effect on the goals of the 2015 revised science curriculum(attitudes, inquiry, knowledge, Science·Technology·Society(STS), and the enjoyment and usefulness of science learning) that correspond to through inquiry science writing lessons. For this reason, the science gifted students presented self-directed inquiry experiences, continual inquiry experiences on the same subject, thinking process at each stage of inquiry, learning experiences through inquiry, experience of the whole inquiry process, and inquiry of phenomena closely related to real life. Therefore, for the effective science class, it is necessary to apply the characteristics of science class using science writing heuristic which is responded by science gifted students to general science class as well as science gifted class later.

This study was a one-group pre-post test design experimental investigation conducted to evaluate the effects of problem-based learning by type of learning in nursing students. The subjects of the study were 125 senior students in the Department of Nursing Science at a single university located in A. City, and the study was conducted for eight weeks from April 18 through June 10, 2016. Data analysis consisted of descriptive statistics, ANOVA, ${\chi}^2$-tests and t-tests. Most nursing students underwent converger type of learning, and after problem-based learning, their learning flow, problem-solving ability and critical thinking disposition increased significantly. In problem-based learning by type of learning, the problem-solving ability was significantly higher in the converger type than in the accommodator type, and there were no significant differences in learning flow and critical thinking disposition; however,in all types of learning, learning flow and critical thinking disposition increased. Since these results suggest that teaching and learning strategies should be set up for each type of learning, it is necessary to seek plans for teaching and learning strategies to make up for the weak points and strengthen the strong points by each type of learning when applying the problem-based learning method.
