  • Many risk-related issues within the realm of science education have been addressed through science-technology-related socioscientific issues (SSI) education. It has been established that the topics categorized as SSI are interconnected with risk-related issues. These topics emphasize numerous points of convergence with the goals of SSI education, particularly in understanding and analyzing risks, including risk assessment, risk management, and risk decision-making. Such understanding can aid in grasping the complexity of SSI based on risk-related issues and facilitate informed decision-making by structuring debates. Although there has been discourse on the need for education aimed at future survival and reflection on the responsibilities and roles of education in risk-prone societies, concepts or strategies related to actual risk responses are rarely addressed in science education and schools. Education tailored to risk-prone societies is not yet well established. This study explored the incorporation of climate change risk education into science education. A framework for climate change risk education was developed, encompassing seven elements, with corresponding definitions and examples. The researchers applied this framework to evaluate the extent to which climate change risk education is integrated into the current science curriculum of Korea. Additionally, SSI lesson scenarios related to climate change were analyzed using this risk education framework to determine the types and extent of risk education incorporated. The findings underscore the importance of teaching climate change risk education to equip students for rational decision-making.

  • We studied the energy barrier for proton conduction with volume variation in $BaZrO_3$ using a first principles study to investigate an optimum volume for the proton conduction. The volume increase of $BaZrO_3$ was expected to decrease the energy barrier for proton rotation and to increase that for proton transfer, and these trends could be extrapolated when the volume was decreased. However, the energy barriers for the proton transfer with the volume decrease were increased, while all the other energy barriers varied as expected. We could explain this unexpected behavior by the bent Zr-O-Zr structure, when the volume was decreased.

  • This study was conducted for the purpose of convergence reconstruction of the transition education model for students with disabilities in Korea. Ultimately, this study was also conducted with the aim of enhancing the perspective of the development of a lifelong education support system for the disabled in connection with schools and communities. The research method consisted of a procedure with a meeting of experts based on the procedure of analyzing the previous research literature that tried to materialize the transition education model for students with disabilities from the viewpoint of connection between school age and adulthood. The contents of this study were reflected in the dimension of ensuring consistent connectivity validity based on the viewpoint of school-centered, community-centered, education, and welfare between special education and lifelong education for the disabled in order to reconstruct the conversion transition education model constructed in the current special education field. Accordingly, the transition education model for students with disabilities built in the field of special education centered on school age minimizes the tendency of a fragmented approach between school age and adulthood, and presents a standard basis and structure that can be linked to the entire adulthood. The transition education model was reconstructed convergence in terms of content.

  • White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) causes the most serious epizootic in cultured penaeid shrimp. The epizootic started in 1992, and spread through east and south east Asia and into other shrrimp growing countries of the region. In order to circumvent the epizootic, in many Asian countries, freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii is being widely considered as an alternative species to marine shrimp. (omitted)

  • The rapid advancement of computer technology and artificial intelligence has significantly impacted software education in Korea. Consequently, the 2022 revised curriculum demands personalized education. However, implementing personalized education in schools is challenging. This study aims to facilitate personalized education by utilizing incorrect codes and error information submitted by beginners to construct prompts. And the difference in the frequency of correct feedback generated by the generative AI model and the prompts was examined. The results indicated that providing appropriate error information in the prompts yields better performance than relying solely on the excellence of the generative AI model itself. Through this research, we hope to establish a foundation for the realization of personalized education in programming education in Korea.

  • During the past decades, dramatic technology changes affected the life of billions of people around the globe. Although these changes resulted to economic benefits, mostly for the developed countries, the undiscerning development also resulted to many side effects, such as environment pollution, scarce natural resources, global warming, and an increase of the gap between "those who have" and "those who have not", among others. Also, since these developments were based on high technologies, they were not suitable for 90% of the underdeveloped countries. In this review, the possible ways of increasing the quality of life in underdeveloped countries are described, by providing adaptive solutions using appropriate technologies. Some successful applications of appropriate and intermediate technology are introduced, and the need for a new undergraduate education course of engineering design based on appropriate technology is proposed for Korea.

  • In recent years, worldwide production of solar wafers increased rapidly. Therefore, the solar wafer technology in the developed countries already has become an industry, and related industries such as solar wafer manufacturing equipment have developed rapidly. In this paper we propose the color classification method of the polycrystalline solar wafer that needed in manufacturing equipment. The solar wafer produced in the manufacturing process does not have a uniform color. Therefore, the solar wafer panels made with insensitive color uniformity will fall off the aesthetics. Gaussian mixture models (GMM) are among the most statistically mature methods for clustering and we use the Gaussian mixture models for the classification of the polycrystalline solar wafers. In addition, we compare the performance of the color feature vector from various color space for color classification. Experimental results show that the feature vector from YCbCr color space has the most efficient performance and the correct classification rate is 97.4%.

  • This study has been focused on properties of surface technology for large diameter upper electrode using in high density plasma process as like semi-conductor manufacturing process. The experimental studies have been carried out to get mirror surface for upper electrode. For a formation of high surface quality upper electrode, single crystal silicon upper electrode has been mechanical and chemical machining worked. Mechanical machining work of the upper electrode is carried out with varying mesh type using diamond wheel. In case of chemical machining work, upper electrode surface roughness was observed to be strongly dependent upon the etchant. The different surface roughness characteristics were observed according to etchant. The machining result of the surface roughness and surface morphology have been analyzed by use of surface roughness tester, laser microscope and ICP-MS.

  • This paper describes how communicative technology between two classrooms located in different sociocultural contexts was used to support mathematics instruction. I analyzed what interactions emerged using the communicative technology, how sociocultural differences were leveraged to construct mathematical knowledge, and how students built this knowledge together across urban and rural classrooms. The results show that reciprocal interactions emerged. Teachers co-designed lesson plans and tasks with consideration of the different classroom social contexts. Based on those teachers' interactions, students had opportunities to justify their ideas and to prepare answers before the connected discussions, and a wide spectrum of ideas was synthesized as collaborative knowledge. These findings suggest that communicative technology has the potential to enhance learning opportunities for students across different social contexts.
