A rapid increase in population is most likely to become a menace to human existence, and will cause unfavorable effects. Therefore, we must consider it as an urgent task to make use of marine resources in various ways. Korea particularly laks potential resources, so has no other way but to exploit and utilize the resources for its overall economic growth. In therms of these viewpoints. this report studies the constructive measures and programme for promoting Korean marine industry education after reassessing the aspects of marine industry and analyzing the present situation and problems of the Korean science and technology today. Under these circumstances. it is suggested that financial and administrative support be afforded by government and the authorities concerned for the reformation of curriculum and educational system, inverstment growth for improving educational environments and research conditions.

Creativity since 1950 has become an increasing appealing component of education. This is especially true in many Asian countries including Singapore. Creativity is a necessary but not a sufficient component ofholistic education. Beginning with creativity for the talented, the gifted, and people with high abilities, creativity has gradually become a phenomenon of every society, and a potential competence of every person. This paper presents my views on the evolving trends of creativity in education and challenges my thoughts on who should be given the opportunity to become creative. Is creativity merely meant for the gifted or for all? Some reflective points with regard to answering this question areelicited with reference to the development of Singapore's education.

As humanity embarks on its learning journey in the 21st century, education needs to take on new dimensions. This discourse focuses on the essentials of what educators could do to promote creative development in young gifted and talented students.Current practices in Singapore's Gifted Education Programme are shared. Future possibilities of educating the young gifted studentson their creative attributes like Piirto's 7 Is, brain functions, energy levels or intensities, volition, virtues and other personal and interpersonal skills will be explained. Gifted students are the captains of their own ships, the pilot of their own planes. Teaching them about their creative potential is the first step in awakening their consciousness from within. It is up to them to decide to become more creative with support from parents and teachers thereafter.

In higher education, integration of technologies - particularly generative artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT - has become increasingly widespread, serving numerous purposes to its stakeholders. While users acknowledge the utility of technology, concerns have emerged regarding its misuses. The present study is designed to investigate authentic perspectives and opinions of college freshman students to critically address the relevant concerns, and suggest meaningful solutions. To this end, seven college freshman student participants were recruited in a four-days-long online questionnaire. Their responses indicated that the college student participants appear to find ChatGPT positive in terms of its practicality and usefulness. However, they also showed concerns about a few potential issues (i.e., possible plagiarism and copyright problems). With recommendations the student participants suggested to reduce the aforementioned problems, the article discusses implications of the findings, providing valuable insights into the balance between implementation of AI technologies and dealing with the associated challenges in higher education in general.

This article explores how the use of technology along with carefully designed tasks can advance equity in the teaching of mathematics. Focusing on one of the dimensions of the EQTTech lesson analysis tool, this study examines how the use of technology can support the development of authority, identity, and agency in minoritized high school youth. A lesson on central tendency was designed and enacted in two 9th grade classrooms using GeoGebra and Padlet technologies. Student work and video recordings of the lesson were analyzed for student expressions of authority, identity and agency. These key constructs were intertwined in practice, and appear to be supported by the pairing of carefully selected tasks with technology chosen for its potential to advance equity.

In this paper, we describe a framework developed by synthesizing and combining scholarship from the fields of equity in mathematics education and effective integration of technology in the classroom. This framework allows researchers, educators, and teachers to examine the potential of technology-enhanced mathematics lessons to advance equity along six identified dimensions. We share a case study of a research lesson that applied this framework and implemented technology as an equity lever by allowing students to explore social justice issues using a suite of technology tools. Implications for mathematics teacher educators and researchers are discussed as ways the framework can be used to promote the equitable integration of technology.
