This paper pretends to study the potentialities of feedback, particularly in the development of a written report in two phases and in portfolio; and the main difficulties that teachers has to face concerning this assessment practice. Through a meta-analysis concerning different studies, it is possible to say that oral or written feedback, intentionally provided to students of several ages, may enable them to develop their self-assessment capacity and to get close of the expected product. However, the type of student and his or her perceptions may influence the effectiveness of feedback. Even for experience teachers, this practice maintains complex.

Structural sizing is a rewarding task due to its non-convex constrained nature in the design space. In order to provide both global exploration and proper search refinement, a hybrid method is developed here based on outstanding features of Evolutionary Computing and Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization. The new method introduces an observer phase for memory exploitation in addition to vector-sum movements in the original teacher and learner phases. Proper integer coding is suited and applied for structural size optimization together with a fly-to-boundary technique and an elitism strategy. Performance of the proposed method is further evaluated treating a number of truss examples compared with teaching-learning-based optimization. The results show enhanced capability of the method in efficient and stable convergence toward the optimum and effective capturing of high quality solutions in discrete structural sizing problems.

The purpose of this paper is to research the factors and the effects of immediacy in mathematics teaching and learning and mathematical problem solving. The factors of immediacy are visualization, functional fixedness and representatives. In special, students can apprehend immediately the clues and solution using the visual representation because of its properties of finiteness and concreteness. But the errors sometimes originate from visual representation which come from limitation of the visual representation. It suggests that students have to know conceptual meaning of the visual representation when they use the visual representation. And this phenomenon is the same in functional fixedness and representatives which are the factors of immediacy The methods which overcome the errors of immediacy is that problem solvers notice the limitation of the factors of immediacy and develop the meta-cognitive ability. And it means we have to emphasize the logic and the intuition in mathematical teaching and learning. Clearly, we can't solve all mathematical problems using only either the logic or the intuition.

Infinity is one of the important concept in mathematics, science, philosophy etc. In history of mathematics, potential infinity concept conflicts with actual infinity concept. Reason that mathematicians refuse actual infinity concept during long period is because that actual infinity concept causes difficulty in our perceptions. This phenomenon is called epistemological obstacle by Brousseau. Potential infinity concept causes difficulty like history of development of infinity concept in mathematics learning. Even though students team about actual infinity concept, they use potential infinity concept in problem solving process. Therefore, we must make clear epistemological obstacles of infinity concept and must overcome them in learning of infinity concept. For this, it is useful to experience visualization about infinity concept. Also, it is to develop meta-cognition ability that students analyze and control their problem solving process. Conclusively, students must adjust potential infinity concept, and understand actual infinity concept that is defined in formal mathematics system.

Facilitating critical thinking is important for students' cognitive growth and knowledge acquisition. This study examines the dimensions of tutors' roles in facilitating the critical thinking required for problem solving in online discussions. The research procedures include identifying the research problems related to critical thinking skills; synthesizing theories and perspectives on critical thinking skills; and analyzing, validating, and determining tutors' roles. Using the results of this study, problem solving processes are divided into four phases: analyzing, judging, inferencing, and meta-cognitively evaluating. Tutors' roles in online problem solving can be categorized into four domains: cognitive, social, managerial, and technical. Tutors' roles in each domain are specifically analyzed, and the strengths, weaknesses, and improvements in tutors' facilitation of critical thinking for online problem solving are evaluated.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to investigate correlation of sensory processing patterns, learning styles and learning strategies for university students. Methods : Participants of this study are 115 students from K university in Busan, South Korea. Measurements are Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP) for sensory processing patterns, the Study Process Questionnaire (SPQ) for learning styles, and the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) for learning strategies. The data collected was analyzed by SPSS/WIN 20.0 for chisuare test and Pearson corelation coefficient. Results : For sensory processing patterns and learning styles, there were correlation between low registration type and surface type of learning (p=0.03), and between sensory seeking type and deep type of learning (p=0.02). For sensory processing patterns and learning strategies, sensory seeking type was correlated with organized learning strategy (p=0.00), and sensory sensitivity type was correlated with organizational learning strategy (p=0.03) and meta-cognitive learning strategy (p=0.00). Conclusion : This study found that there is correlation between sensory processing patterns, learning styles and learning strategies with implying learning styles and learning strategies can be different depends on sensory procession pattern. The results of this study can be used as a basic data to select learning type and learning strategy appropriate for an individual based on his or her sensory processing patterns.

학습의 깊이의 단계를 Bloom은 지식, 이해, 적용, 분석, 종합, 평가라는 6가지의 단계로 나누면서 피상적인 학습과 감이 있는 학습으로 구분하였다. 최근 학습은 면대면 학습에서 뿐 아니라, 웹기반의 학습에서도 피상적인 학습 위주로 이루어진다는 비판을 받고 있고, 웹기반 학습에서는 자기조절 흑은 자기규제의 문제가 가장 큰 문제로 지적 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이를 해결하기 위한 방안으로서 감이 있는 학습을 촉진하고, 자기 조절을 촉진하는 메타인지를 웹기반학습에의 인터페이스 디자인에 적용하는 문제를 살펴보았다. 이를 알아보기 위해 메타인지 전략의 가장 핵심 요소인 '자기 점검'의 요소 중 학습 내용들 간의 위계 관계를 보여주는 지도 (MAP) 와 계획세우기를 도와주는 요소 (PLAN)를 기존 연구를 토대로 웹기반의 학습의 인터페이스로 구현하고, 이러한 요소들이 학습, 특히 Bloom이 말한 김이 있는 학습을 촉진하는지를 실험을 통해 살펴보았다. 메타인지를 활용한 웹기반 학습의 효과는 배운 내용의 사후 테스트 점수로 측정되었다. 일반적으로 웹상에서 이루어지는 학습의 일반적인 형태인 학습 중에 확인문제를 푸는 조건 (OX조건)과 확인문제와 학습 내용들 간의 위계 관계를 보여주는 지도를 제시하는 조건 (MAP조건), 이에 덧붙여 사전 계획세우기까지 모두 하는 조건 (PLAN조건)으로 나누어 실험이 진행되었다. 그 결과 첫째, 집단 간 참가자들의 전체적인 학습 점수는 MAP조건이 가장 낮고, OX조건이 중간, PLAN조건이 가장 높은 모습을 보였다. 그러나 이 차이가 통계적으로 유의미하지는 않았다. 또한 모든 조건의 집단에서 행해졌던 학습 중간의 OX점수는 집단별 점수의 차이가 통계적으로 유의미하지는 않았으나, 평균의 차이를 보여주었다. 둘째, 조건별 참가자의 학습 효과는 피상적인 학습수준(암기)에서는 통계적으로 집단 간 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 그러나 감이 있는 수준의 학습(문제해결)에서는 집단 간에 통계적으로 유의미한 학습의 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 깊이있는 학습을 촉진하는 웹기반 학습의 인터페이스 디자인에 대해서는 추후 연구가 필요하다.

Many e-learning programs in Korea use lecture as a main instructional method. A meta-analysis study reports that e-learning programs using lectures were the most ineffective. In addition, many researchers in the field of distance education contend that the active participation of learners is the key to the success of e-learning. These imply why we can easily find many people who don't have good impression about e-learning. The quality of e-learning depends on the application of appropriate pedagogy. This study aims to present the implications for the improvement of e-learning programs in the Republic of Korea by analyzing the psychological characteristics reflected on the e-learning programs in the U. S. that have been improved through design research for a long time. The result shows that the e-learning programs in the U. S. have five major psychological aspects, i.e., reflective thinking, collaborative interaction, knowledge construction, situated action, and utilizing multiple representations. Consequently, this study suggests that e-learning programs in the Republic of Korea need to reflect learning principles such as learning by doing, situated learning, collaborative learning, learning with multiple representations in order to improve the quality.

The 2015 revised national science curriculum encourages students to cultivate the science core competencies such as scientific thinking, science process skills, scientific problem-solving ability, scientific communication skill, scientific participation and lifelong learning ability. To fill this purpose, we practiced science writing classes based on core competencies and examined the effect of its application. The target unit was 'weather and our life', 'acid and base', 'speed of an object', and 'structure and function of our body' in the fifth grade of elementary school. The results were as follows. First, it was proven that science writing activities based on core competencies did not help improving science process skills of learners. Second, it had a significant effect on the improvement of the learner's self-directed learning ability, in particular, owner spirit, meta cognition and information search. Third, this strategy for science writing changed learners' scientific attitude positively. The above-mentioned results show that this science writing classes can be applicable as one of effective methods in cultivating science core competencies.
