  • Using TIMSS survey data, we analyzed whether there were any significant changes in the learning environment of middle school science classes over the last 10 years. Our study selected questions from teachers and school principals' questionnaires and divided them by category: science class, teacher professional development, and school environment. The science class components were subdivided into three categories: science learning activities, evaluation, and homework. Within teacher professional development, the sub-categories included teacher training, collaboration to improve teaching, and teacher evaluation. School environment subdivided into two aspects, these being school characteristics and school system. Our research confirmed that there has been a positive change overall in learning environments. However, most classes are teacher-conducted and also teacher-oriented; the proportion of science investigation activities has declined compared against the prior ten years. Our study show that students do not engage in a range of inquiry-related activities. The questions on tests and examinations involve mostly knowledge application and understanding, although recent methods of evaluation show improvement. As for the science teachers, they participate in many professional development programs but focus on science content, science curriculum, and pedagogy. In addition, teachers do not have many opportunities to participate in the training to integrate information technology into science, science assessment, or improving students' critical thinking or inquiry skills. The teachers are satisfied with their profession, and the shortage of science resources does not seem to affect instruction.

  • Stamped-Roof Tiles, the characteristics of Baekje Tiles are one of the most frequently excavated tiles in Iksan. Considering the types and amount of excavation of the Stamped-Roof Tiles unearthed in Iksan area, it seems that these are closely related with a Royal family. The tiles might be manufactured by a particular gorup of file maker since they are produced with same way. Referring the Ganji carved in the Stamped-Roof Tiles, I suppose that the tiles were produced and used in two time periods, the time around enthronement of The King Mu and the second quarter of the 7th century around Gichuk, AD. 629. In addition, Convex Tiles used in Wanggung-ri Site and Mireuk Site was also produced in same time as the Stamped-Roof Tiles, considering there pattern and the amount of excavation. The social background of tile production was analogized based on the technology and the time of the tile manufacture as well as the characteristics of the Stamped-Roof Tiles which represent the Obu and the Ohang. The production of the tiles was supported by Obu which aided the King Mu-oriented construction project the economic capacity of the Royal family was not enough to promote. The tile production system was totally controled by the Royal family and the inspector, neither producer nor donator, examined the quantitation of the tiles and generated the imprint of a seal with the Stamped-Roof Tiles.

  • Internet of Things (IOT) technology is rapidly becoming a reality in many parts of our lives through various products and services. Currently, the perception of Internet services for things is becoming common, and the B2C (Business to Consumer) market is explosively increasing as consumers are increasingly willing to purchase Internet devices. In particular, the economic effects of the Internet based smart home sector are known to be very large, and global manufacturers are launching various consumer oriented products based on smart home services.However, current smart home service products are closed systems because they provide independent devices for each manufacturer and provide only specific devices and services linked to them. There is a need for an environment that can provide intelligent smart home service through linkage between objects or services, and a controller that can provide smart control is needed. Therefore, this paper proposes a smart home remote control that can control the Internet devices and services of objects. The proposed smart home remote control provides an environment in which users can directly rescue services through the IFTTT automated service platform, which is an independent platform for each manufacturer.

  • To establish an infrastructure for technology and information in the domestic construction industry, several construction regulations pertaining to construction information have been institutionalized. However, there are major problems with the domestic information classification system, earned value management (EVM) and project management information system (PMIS). In particular, the functions of the current PMIS have consisted of a builder-oriented system, and as EVM is not applied to PMIS, the functions of reporting, analysis and forecast for owners are lacking. Moreover, owners cannot confirm information on construction schedule and cost in real time due to the differences between the EVM and PMIS operation systems. The purpose of this study is to provide a framework that is capable of operating PMIS efficiently under an e-business environment, by providing a proposal on how to establish a work breakdown structure (WBS) and an EVM - PMIS integration model, so that PMIS may provide the function of EVM, and stakeholders may have all information in common. At the core of EVM - PMIS integration is the idea that EVM and PMIS have the same operation system, in order to be an activity-based system. The principle of the integration is data integration, in which the information field of an activity is connected with the field of a relational database table consisting of sub-modules for the schedule and cost management function of PMIS using a relational database management system. Therefore, the planned value (PV), cost value (CV), actual cost (AC), schedule variance (SV), schedule performance index (SPI), cost variance (CV) and cost performance index (CPI) of an activity are connected with the field of the relational database table for the schedule and cost sub-modules of PMIS.

  • The Korean economy has sustained high growth rate for almost three decades, that have been associated with the rapid expansion of manufacturing industries. In the beginning stage of development, the high growth of the Korean economy has been based on improvements in productivity obtained by the economies of scale. In that period, the improvements in productivity could be secured by the economies of scale in the export-oriented industries which are the labor- and material-intensive industries. In the latter half of the 1980s, the Korean economy went through rapid transition. Now Korea is at another juncture in its development process, where economic restructuring is critical to sustain high growth. However, economic restructuring in the 1990s call for much more concerted effort than before, since changes in internal and external conditions have profoundly altered the environment for economic development. If Korea is to sustain high growth in the 1990s, it has to promote balanced economic and social development in coordination with the smooth facilitation of industrial restructuring. There are no inherent conflicts among the issues involved, so they can be resolved by restructuring the economy to facilitate, in a global context, the development of knowledge- and technology-intensive activities and to ensure that the benefts of growth are reflected of qualitative improvements in national living standards. In this paper, we examined a scenario of structural changes using a mid- and long-term multisector model, in order to understand the conditions needed for realizing the growth potential. This examination explains the important features of the development course and policy directions that will help sustain high growth in the 1990s.

  • This study is to develop digital leadership in a field of national defense. Today, korean society is facing the crisis of national security. But national defense leadership is not show in the circumstance of national security crisis. As you know, national defense leadership is a process that make use of influence. Which means it converges people's interest and demands well and also show people the right vision of national defense and make them to comply the policy about national security. Because of the environmental change, our national defense leadership is having a new turning point. First, international order, which is under post-cold war, raises possibility of guarantee of peace and security in international society but also, cause the increase of multiple uncertainty and small size troubles in security circumstance. In addition, Korean society is rushing into democratization and localization period by success in peaceful change of political power went through about three times. The issue of political neutralization of military is stepping into settlement but still, negative inheritance of old military regime is worrying about it. In this situation, we can't expect rise in estimation about the importance of security and military's reason for being. So, military have to give their concern to not only internal maintenance of order and control and growth of soldiers but also developing external leadership to strength influence to society and military's the reason for being. So for these alternative I'm suggesting a digital leadership of national defense which fits digital era. This digital leadership is the leadership which can accept and understand digital technology and lead the digital organization. To construct digital national defense we need a practical leadership. The leadership has to be digital leadership with digital competence that can direct vision of digital national defense and carry out the policy. A leader who ha s digital leadership can lead the digital society. The ultimate key to construct digital government, digital corporate and digital citizen depends on digital leader with digital mind. To be more specific, digital leadership has network leadership, next generation leadership, knowledge driven management leadership, innovation oriented leadership. A leader with this kind of leadership is the real person with digital leadership. From now on, to rise this, we have to build up human resource development strategy and develop educational training program.

  • Pure $TiO_2$and 10 mol % Pb-doped $TiO_2(Pb_xTi_{1-x}O_2$(x = 0.1)) powder and thin films have been prepared by the sol-gel method. Titanium isopropoxide and ethanol are used for pure $TiO_2$, lead acetate trihydrate and titanium triisopropoxide monoacethylacetonate are used for Pb-doped $TiO_2$, respectively. Films are coated on p-type Si(100) wafer and ITO glass substrates by the sol-gel spin-coating method. The powder and multi-coated films are annealed at different temperature (400~$800^{\circ}C$) for phase formation and crystallization. TGA/DTA, XRD analysis, SEM and UV-visible transmission spectroscopy have been used to study the characteristics of the powder and films. XRD results show that the films are polycrystalline, anatase type and oriented predominantly to the A(101) plane. A slight shift in the d-spacing for the Pb-doped film indicates the incorporation of the Pb into $TiO_2$lattice. A shift of the absorption wavelength in the transmission spectrum towards longer wavelength has been observed about $Pb_xT_{1-x}O_2$(x = 0.1) thin film, which indicates a decrease in the bandgap of $TiO_2$upon Pb-doping.

  • The aim of the this study is to observer paradoxal phenomenon in media election. The media, especially Television, was traditionally a journalistic operation representing political events on the outside of political camp. But recently, it intervenes to 'the political camp' as the most important method for election campaign. A centripetal of electronic medias making the dominant political space offer an alternative plan which get over the modern crisis of representative democracy. Even though, to the production of the political symbol and the operation of symbol which constitute substantial system of political action, the human being subject is excluded and the technical system of communication make up a govern structure. So it makes the contradictory situation. TV broadcast for election campaigning show well this paradoxal situation. The institutionalization of electoral broadcasting oriented by the State strengthens an immensification, an economical and political efficiency and a transparency of electoral campaign. But the means which controls the mind of public is also strengthened. It relates the production and circulation of the political symbol and the symbolic image restricted by dominator. In conclusion, this study argues that the media election is institutionalized by the instrumental reason(procedural rationality of politics and technological rationality of broadcasting), therefore the candidate take a fragment roles for the production of transcendental political symbol and the voters accommodate to the symbolic images which are foreseen and they judge.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the invention-related content of foreign science curricula and investigate the perception of science educators about the degree of relevance between science curriculum and invention. For the analysis of foreign science curricula, we investigated the programs of 10 nations, including the US, Canada, UK, Japan, Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, France, Finland and China. To analyze the relevance between Korean science curriculum and invention, we examined common topics such as science, integrated science, and science inquiry experiment, and investigated that the elements related to invention education were included in each 'achievement standard' and 'teaching and evaluation methods'. Science educators including science teachers were asked to evaluate the degree of relevance of invention education. The results were as follows. First, science curricula in many countries contained invention-related content. Second, science educators recognized that invention education was related to science curriculum, but the systematic connection was insufficient. Third, because it is mainly limited to the results of designing and device design, they recognized that the relevance of invention education, which focuses on various processes such as problem design, inventive techniques and intellectual property, was not revealed. Therefore, it is necessary to be process-oriented when developing invention education teaching-learning methods and related materials in science education for the future.

  • This study regards the evaluation for the main contents of the 'Library Development Plan(2003-2011)' promoted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism for the library development plan in Korea. SMART evaluation method was introduced for the evaluation of vision, objective, core project of library development plan. Following result was acquired as a result of the study. First. as a result of SMART vision, objective, core projects and main business of library development plan was presented to be 3.05, 3.09, 3.15 and 3.12 respectively. Thus, in the evaluation for components of development Plan, it was excellent in core projects. Second, as a result of SMART, concreteness, measurability, achievability, relevance and time frame of library development plan was presented to be 3.09. 2.99. 3.12. 3.24 and 3.10 respectively. Thus, in the evaluation components of development plan. it was excellent in relevance but it has been found that supplementary measures should be taken on measurability. Third, 'culture-oriented room with knowledge and information' was found to be superior to the 'information library with up-to-date technology' in evaluation of the objective. Fourth, 'substantiality in user service with the supplement of library contents' was excellent in evaluation of core projects but there is some problem with 'activation of library function through training and supplement of professional manpower.' Fifth. 'Enhancement in library information service' was presented to be excellent in evaluation of main business but there was problem in 'reinforcement in function of library for each location and type,' 'partnership of public-private enterprises' and 'promotion for book culture of the public' thus it need to be revised and supplemented hereafter.
