This paper is experimental study to inspect effects of problem solving ability and programming interest using Pico Cricket of the educational robot. The programming learning which is regarded as the very core of information subject improves problem solving ability. But the programming teaming does not display the effects properly, because the programming learning studies a grammar manual. The educational robot has the advantage to approach the programming learning easily for containing entertainment. The Pico Cricket of the educational robot has the advantage not to induce competition but to compose a cooperative learning environment. Also, the Pico Cricket is able to be had interest of programming learning to girl students, because the Pico Cricket is able to suggest life-centered and cooperative contents which girl students like. Accordingly, This paper is study which the programming learning using Pico Cricket affects the problem solving ability and programming interest and men and women's comparison study.

In this study, we analyzed the teaching practices of science teachers using smart technologies and investigated their difficulties in implementing smart education and their educational needs. We also studied their opinions on the application of smart technologies in science education. The participants were seven science teachers who participated in the smart education study group of a science teacher association in Seoul. We elaborated on the characteristics of smart education in science education during comprehensive analyses of instructional materials used in science classes and the initial interviews. We then analyzed the second interviews by categorizing their responses inductively. All the science teachers used the 'instant access as needed', but their interactions, simply answering students' questions, were found to be at a low level. They did not effectively use the 'collaborative interaction with SNS or wiki-based service' for the support for interactive learning. While most collected learning results of their students and provided feedback in the aspect of 'individualization according to leaner level', they were not aware of 'context, situation, and location of learners' in smart education. While all the teachers extended learning opportunities by using learning resources widely in smart education, most were not aware of 'support for self-directed learning'. Most teachers believed that smart education should be developed to help students learn interactively and in a self-directed manner. They also provided many opinions on teacher training programs and environmental support for smart education. Based on the results, some considerations for implementing smart education in science instructions effectively are discussed.

As the open innovation paradigm spreads, the ability to search for new external knowledge and combine it with the organization's existing knowledge has been cosidered to play an important role in improving business performance of a company. This study empirically analyzed the influence of such organizational variables as empowering leadership, organizational learning culture, and interdepartmental cooperation on business performance of innovative technology SMEs focusing on the mediating effects of absorption capacity. For this purpose, a survey was conducted on 15,227 INNOBIZ SMEs, and 326 usable questionnaires were collected and analyzed using the structural equation model. Statistical analyses showed that the direct influence of empowering leadership, organizational learning culture, and interdepartmental cooperation on business performance was not found, but indirect effects of three organizational variables on business performance proved significant using absorption capacity as a mediating variable. This result also indicates that empowering leadership, organizational learning culture, and interdepartmental cooperation are important antecedent variables of absorption capacity.

We examined the effects of pair assistant collaborative learning on academic achievement of the 2nd year middle school students in the three subjects such as the Probability, Properties of Figures and Similarities of Figures. In order to carry out this study, we selected 2 classes of 2nd year students in a girls middle school in the Fall semester of 2009 and set up the experiment group and comparison group by the result of academic achievement tests given in the end of the Spring semester of 2009. Pair assistant collaborative learning was adopted for students in problem solving 2 or 3 times per a week in the experiment group and each academic achievement was given at the end of each subject in both groups. Also, we had a final survey to find out students' attitude to this collaborative learning. The achievement and survey were analysed by statistical methods. We conclude that our pair assistant collaborative learning was effective in Probability and Similarities of Figures Units. According to the result of survey, this collaborative learning brought about an opportunity to promote students' community spirit through reflecting each one's role in the group.

정보추천 시스템은 사용자가 어떤 정보를 선호하는지를 식별함으로써 산재한 정보 중에서 적절한 정보만을 제공하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이러한 정보추천 시스템에서 사용되는 정보여과 기술에는 내용기반 여과와 협력적 여과가 있다. 기존의 협력적 정보여과 기술은 선호도를 적게 제시한 사용자에게 정보를 추천하기 어렵고, 동일한 상품 정보에 대해서 사용자의 평가가 없을 경우 사용자간의 유사성을 판단하기 어려운 단점이 있다. 본 논문은 SVD (Singular Value Decomposition)를 통해 사용자 프로파일을 정량화함으로써 사용자 선호도 행렬로부터 숨어있는 의미정보를 추출하여 동일한 정보에 대해 선호도를 평가해야 한다는 단점을 극복한다. 이때, 사용자 프로파일 벡터를 비감독 학습 알고리즘인 SOM (Self0Organizing Map)으로 클러스터링하여 사용자를 분류하고, 정보추천은 사용자 그룹간에서 이루어지며 Pearson correlation 알고리즘을 이용한다. 기존의 방법과 비교한 결과, 제안한 방법이 새로운 사용자에 대해서도 적절한 정보를 추천할 수 있음을 볼 수 있었다.

기존의 협력적 필터링 기술을 이용한 사용자 선호도 예측 방법에서는 아이템에 대한 사용자의 선호도를 기반으로 이웃 선정 방법(Nearest-Neighborhood Method)을 사용하고, 피어슨 상관 계수에 의해 사용자의 유사도를 구하므로 아이템에 대한 내용을 반영하지 못할 뿐만 아니라 희박성 문제를 해결하지 못하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 사용자 선호도 예측 방법의 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 연관 사용자 군집과 베이지안 분류를 이음한 사용자 선호도 예측 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법에서는 협력적 필터링 시스템에서의 희박성(Sparsity)문제를 해결하기 위하여 ARHP 알고리즘을 사용하여 사용자를 장르별로 군집하며 새로운 사용자는 Naive Bayes 분류자에 의해 이들 장르 중 하나로 분류된다. 또한, 분류된 장르 내에 속한 사용자들과 새로운 사용자의 유사도출 구하기 위해 Naive Bayes 학습을 통해 사용자가 평가한 아이템에 추정치를 달리 부여한다. 추정치가 부여된 선호도를 기존의 피어슨 상관 관계에 적용할 경우 결측치(Missing Value)로 인한 예측의 오류를 적게 하여 예측의 정확도를 높일 수 있다. 제안된 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위해서 기존의 협력적 필터링 기술과 비교 평가하였다.

In this study, we suggested a strategy about a discussion class using Twitter, and experimented it inside an elementary school classroom. Elementary students participated in a panel discussion and the others discussed as audience using Twitter. After the discussion, we investigated the effectiveness of our strategy using the Technology Acceptance Model and verified students' satisfaction and ability to collaborate through giving them a questionnaire. As a result, the perceived ease of use positively effected the perceived usefulness and the perceived usefulness influenced the attitude and the attitude affect on intention to use. Also, students were satisfied with the discussion class on Twitter and had a positive perception about collaboration with it. As a result of regression, perception of collaboration among the students influenced the perceived usefulness positively. The results in this study show the effectiveness of using the discussion class strategy on Twitter.

The purpose of this study was to examine interactions among components of pedagogical content knowledge of middle school science teachers in a teacher learning community targeting science practice-based instruction. Data collection consisted of pre and post questionnaire and interview with each of five science teachers, audio-recording of teacher discussion in a teacher learning community, lesson plans, teacher written reflection, and video-recording of teaching practice. Qualitative data analysis revealed that there were two types of interactions, i.e., one-way interaction and two-ways interaction among components of pedagogical content knowledge of science teachers in a teacher learning community. There were also consecutive interactions as well as one-shot interaction. For two-ways interaction there were synchronous two-ways interaction in a teacher learning community meeting as well as consecutive two-ways interaction along with several meetings. This study provides implications that collaborative learning context in a teacher learning community should stimulate various types interactions among components of pedagogical content knowledge.
