  • This study aims to suggest a Biophilic classroom design of high school to obtain attention restoration for students. The learning space for youth in the modern society is composed of dry artificial structures. This space is considered to be a space that can not relieve stress caused by learning. "The Attention Restoration Theory" is divided into "Directed Attention" of humans, which is the cause of fatigue and stress, and "Involuntary Attention" as a solution to it. "Involuntary Attention" takes place in a rest state and helps the brain recover when exposed to nature. And the core of "Biophilic-Design Theory" is that humans can recover physical and mental conditions when exposed to nature. The purpose of this study is to apply "The Biophilic-Design Theory" that emphasizes the importance of exposure to nature to the educational space and plan the space where the 'Attention Restoration' can be achieved. The research method is as follows. First, we review previous studies related to "The Biophilic-Design Theory" and "The Attention Restoration Theory". Second, we analyze the application examples of "The Biophilic-Design Theory" and "The Attention Restoration Theory" in domestic and foreign educational spaces. Third, the concept of educational space is set up based on the elements derived from previous studies. Finally, we propose the planning direction of classroom design based on Biophilic-Design. The following conclusions were drawn. First, The creation of the education space to restore the learner's attention requires a visual space plan that utilizes natural elements such as natural light, artificial light, plants, and natural materials that can directly experience nature. Second, the direction in which students in the classroom can be "The Attention Restoration Theory" should consider the use of indirect natural elements that bring the surrounding natural landscape into the interior. This study will be used as the baseline data for the spatial design and planning of education facilities based on Biophilic-Design.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the awareness of elementary teachers about educational technology. Educational technology that is embodied at school was the form of "systemic structure" whose components are complex and exert close mutual influence on one another, rather than of "systemic assembly" that relationship of components were well controlled. A qualitative epistemological method was used to look into educational technology instead of existing empirical ones. Metaphor analysis was utilized among various qualitative research methods to find out what elementary teachers thought of educational technology. Six elementary teachers were asked to draw a picture to describe what came into their mind when they heard term of "educational technology," and they were interviewed in depth to check what their pictures meant. As a result, elementary teachers expressed their point of views about educational technology as "a scientific, technical and systemized instrument to stir up the learning interest and joy of students," "an action to mechanically fit together every part of education(curriculum)," "educational technology as a teaching and learning method," and "an integrated and overall system." This finding seemed to have something to do with media theory, teaching and learning theory and system theory that have been used in educational technology. This study was expected to be significance in that it investigated the way of looking at educational technology in the field, and confirmed the close relationship between theory and practice, and finally provided an opportunity to reflect on the ontological nature and epistemological method of educational technology.

  • The aim of the study presented in this paper was to explore South Korean elementary teachers' knowledge regarding educational theory in mathematics. An independent t-test and ANOVA are applied to examine elementary teachers' knowledge regarding educational theory in mathematics. Findings of this study suggest that there is a negative correlation between the teachers' knowledge regarding educational theory in mathematics and their teaching experiences as well as the teacher certification level. However, there is a little affect of the teachers' gender and educational backgrounds on the teachers' knowledge regarding educational theory in mathematics. The results of this quantitative study may broaden our understanding of the South Korean elementary teachers' knowledge for teaching mathematics, which have a deep impact on their teaching practice.

  • The set concept has long been recognized as important for organizing traditional mathematics. Although 'to understand mathematical structure' is an important educational purpose, we think that leaching the abstract set theory in the 7th grade is too early. In this paper, we reviewed the set theory in the secondary school and we made some proposals such like that we must accept the term 'set' as 'collection' in 7th grade.

  • The purpose of this study is to explore the features and features of causes of communicative deficits in high-functioning autistic children in order to intervene educational programs. When communicating with others, high-functioning autistic children have difficulties in the aspects of syntax and semantics, especially pragmatics. These causes of communicative deficits of high-functioning autistic children can be explained respectively by theory of mind, executive function, and central coherence theory. According to theory of mind, qualitative impairment of interaction and communication accounts for communicative deficits. Executive function argues that communicative deficits of high-functioning autistic children be caused by limited concern. Central coherence theory suggests that communicative deficits be caused by the inappropriate integration of cues. Considering these causes of communicative deficits in high-functioning autistic children, we proposed educational strategies order to intervene educational programs.

Jonjae Wie Baek-Gyu's Thoughts & Proposals for Educational Reform and the implication of moral education (존재(存齋) 위백규(魏伯珪)의 교육개혁론(敎育改革論)과 그 도덕교육적(道德敎育的) 함의(含意))

  • This paper examines the contents and meaning of the education reform theory among the social reform theory of Wie Baek-gyu(1727~1798), a representative Confucian scholar of Honam in the 18th century, and suggests the moral educational implications of his educational reform theory. Wie Baek-gyu, who lived through the Yeongjo and Jeongjo eras, diagnosed the contradictions and problems of society at that time as the absence of morality. And emphasized the reform of school education as a center of ways to overcome social disruption. The educational reform theory he envisioned was to systematize the process from child education to higher education centered on the system reorganization of the school, and to formulate school education in conjunction with the selection of talent. He emphasized the cultivation and practice of moral character in the course of admission and curriculum of the school, and suggested a system that reflects the opinions of the local people in the admission process, thereby establishing the school as the center of the local society. His educational reform theory, which embodies the school system based on moral education and further shapes the school system and educational contents as the center of edification and recruitment of talented people, is a big indication of the curriculum of the current moral curriculum that emphasizes the cultivation and practice of inner morality based on personality education. In this paper, I summarized and reviewed the general contents of his perception of the times and social reform theory, the diagnosis of the educational reality that is the basis of his educational reform theory, and the specific contents of the education reform theory. Based on this, I presented the meaning to the current moral and curriculum.

  • An accurate evaluation of educational process is a promise for the progress of education, because evaluation provides a meticulous idea of what has actually been achieved as a result of education. However, for all its significance in the educational fields, there are not many discussions about evaluation in South Korea. We believe that in order to overcome this discrepancy, diverse evaluation theories along with a discussion about the merits or demerits or each theory should be introduced in South Korea. We propose that Eisner's educational evaluation model may suggest alternative ways of perceiving evaluation. Eisner's educational evaluation model, named educational connoisseurship and criticism, emerged as an approach to educational evaluation from the methods used in art and literary criticism.

  • Purpose - This study aimed to investigate the impact of immersive virtual reality (VR) technology on learning effectiveness in museum environments by integrating experience economy theory and flow theory. Design/methodology/approach - Survey data were collected from 200 participants who experienced VR in a museum setting. A PLS path analysis was conducted to examine the relationships between key variables. Findings - The study found that the three main VR features-interactivity, vividness, and novelty-had significant positive effects on the four experiential dimensions of the experience economy: educational, entertainment, escapist, and esthetic experiences, with the exception of novelty not impacting esthetic experience. Among these dimensions, only educational experiences significantly influenced perceived learning effectiveness, and this relationship was mediated by the flow state. Research implications or Originality - This research provides valuable insights into how immersive VR can enhance learning effectiveness in museums. It emphasizes the importance of focusing on educational experiences and suggests that achieving a flow state is crucial for improving learning outcomes in VR-based museum experiences.
