We are focusing on an approach which handle a general Web as a resource in order to support self-directed learning for a student. Then, we are developing a Web based learning environment "Web-Retracer"for utilizing Web as teaching materials by a user′s Annotation. Although the learner can share the Web resource that the others utilized in this environment, Web resources unsuitable for a student′s needs becomes hindrance about her/his self-directed learning. In this paper, we propose a recommending method of the resource united with a student′s needs on the basis of a student′s learning and Web browsing history. This method analyzed the feature peculiar to a resource, and extracts the resource with which the needs of the feature and a student agreed.

It is a global consent that we should conserve our energy consumption, due to our awareness to the environmental problems and the limitedness of the natural resource. In the country, the level of energy consumption is more than it is needed, according to its living standard and the proportion of resources imported from other countries. Educational program focused on energy conservation is essential to overcome these problems. This paper outlines a basic study on the development of an energy conservation education program for children. This program makes students aware of the importance and difficulties in energy conservation. The students can then make their own contribution and besides circulation of resources and improvement of health problems.

This study was taken to increase efficiency in reviewing documents of school facilities from the network of ERIV(Educational Resources and Information Center, USA). Outline of the ERIC network, and the structure, role, function of the ERIC thesaurus are introduced. A thesaurus have developed for information retrieval purpose provides the filing labels which permit information to be stored by one person and retrieved by another. As an information system grows, its thesaurus is systematically built and refined to the point where it represents, in a very special sense, the vocabulary of subject field. The Thesaurus of ERIC Descriptors represents such a vocabulary for the field education. An understanding of its origins, its function and its limitations, is just as important to the teacher, the student of education or the educational researcher as it is for the indexer or custodian of the information pool it represents. If the Thesaurus is understood and used in an appropriate way, it can give all educators not only insight into the ERIC system but also an increased awareness of the language of their field. A great many terms are necessary to describe the many aspects of education, and the task of relating them in even an approximately consistent way is an enormous one. The undertaking should be managed by people who not only know what they are talking about but who also should be able to predict what people in their field are lilely to be talking about in the near future. It should also enlist people who are willing to pay term to another within the system. To engage a large number of these two kinds of people over a long period of time is very likely to cost a great deal of money. There is very little proprietary value in producing such a list of terms, for it can very easily be copied, adapted, updated, etc. Thus, because of its high cost and low proprietary value, it becomes a task likely to be funded only by a government. A government has many ways of spending its money. However, after the decision has been made to spend money to produce an authority list, one must decide how this authority is to be delegated. The history of the development of the ERIC Thesaurus is the history of how this authority was delegated. Scientific research has thrived on efforts to define terms as precisely as possible. It is difficult to say with certainty, however, that solutions to social problems have thrived on a simple diet of scientific research. Contemporary crises demand new and imaginative ways of conceiving problems and talking about them. If this Thesaurus or any other scheme for normalizing or controlling language inhibits in the slightest measure the creative use of language, it is against it use. Only if the principles and details of the Thesaurus are misunderstood can it be used as a constraint on language in a negative sense. Students of education of every kind should see the The-saurus as an opportunity to become increasingly self-conscious about their language and thus about their assumptions and their approaches to educational problems.

The purpose of this study is to explore the necessity and possibility of establishing a research institute for local educational autonomy where the importance and necessity of institution establishment and operation are increasing with the decentralization and educational autonomy. The necessity of establishing a local educational autonomous research institute was examined in terms of both external and internal necessities, and the possibility of establishment in terms of the form of establishment, financial resources, and legal basis. In order to effectively cope with common issues by leading the nation's educational autonomy policy and legal agenda, and to support regional policy research and development by linking and cooperating with regional educational policy research institutes, local educational autonomous research institutes are established. This is an urgent point. Considering the publicity, professionalism, economic feasibility, and stability of specialized research institutes, the form of foundation corporation seems to be appropriate, and, like the case of specialized research institutes in general local autonomy, legal grounds for the establishment of special law should be prepared. In the future, it is necessary to conduct collaborative discussions and academic discussions with the Ministry of Education and the National Council for Superintendents of Education.
