This study examined the influences of cognitive conflict and anxiety induced by a discrepant event and an alternative hypothesis, attention, and effort on conceptual change. Two hundred three students having misconceptions about density were selected from 462 seventh graders based on the results of a preconception test. Tests of cognitive responses and anxiety to a discrepant event were administered before and after presenting an alternative hypothesis. Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) was then provided to students as a conceptual change intervention. Tests assessing attention and effort allocated to the CAI, and conceptual understanding were administered as posttests. Cognitive conflict induced by a discrepant event was found to increase after presenting an alternative hypothesis. Pre-cognitive conflict induced by only a discrepant event exerted a direct effect on post-cognitive conflict induced by a discrepant event and an alternative hypothesis. Post-cognitive conflict had a direct effect on conceptual change. Pre-anxiety decreased after presenting an alternative hypothesis. Pre-anxiety influenced post-anxiety, and this influenced on conceptual change via effort negatively. Attention had a direct effect as well as an indirect effect on conceptual change via effort. These results suggest that the strategy presenting both a discrepant event and an alternative hypothesis to students in concept learning could facilitate conceptual change by inducing more cognitive conflict or active participation of students through the decrease of anxiety than that presenting a discrepant event only.

This paper represents an exploratory effort to test empirically the contingent relationships between the contextual variables, such as user task characteristics and personality, and the information characteristics of Accounting Information Systems (AIS), and to prove the effects of influence factors on the increase of personal office productivity. In this study, it was suggested that personal office productivity is influenced by the fit between the contextual variables and the information dimensions of ALS. It was also proved that influence factors have a positive effect on the increase of personal office productivity.

History , achievement and future of direct-wet-rice-seeding technique in Korea and problems encountered in on-farming research were introduced. Some farmers are very eager to lower production cost and save labor. Their effort results in several direct-wet-seeding methods and seeding machines. The design problems and improvement points related to the direct -wet-rice-seeding machines were drawn out of field test.

New package process for PDP was proposed based on the glass-to-glass vacuum-electrostatic bonding process and tubeless packaging concept derived from the previous study. Hermeticity and operating performance of PDP test panel through the seal-off process application and the possibility for practical use might be high if the process simplicity and productivity-related effort was sequentially carried out.

The grout-effect evaluation of the ground reinforcement technique, which has been widely applied to civil engineering and construction fields, is not established for the guidelines of choosing the efficient evaluation method, and in fact the expects have little effort to determine the reinforcement effect quantitively. This paper presents some results a field test performance of FRP pressure grouting method at a collapsed slope were carried out to verify the improving effect.

The importance of usability evaluation is increasing in developing the system(or product). Many usability measures and test methods have been developed in the fields of ergonomics and cognitive engineering. A systematic usability effort using established methods may be qualify as usability engineering. In this paper, general aspects of the usability engineering are introduced, and application methods of usability engineering model based on product's life cycle are presented.

This paper developed agricultural E-MPV(Multi-Purpose Vehicle based on E-Powertrain Technology) using IPMSM. First, Tractive effort calculated by considering the driving environment of MPV based on diesel engine. And accordingly the motor and inverter were designed and produced. They were mounted on MPV and test result was compared with the output power of MPV with an internal combustion engine.

A GUI automated test can be divided into two areas. The first one is a regression test automation and the second one is an automated test. The former includes generating test cases manually and executing them automatically but the latter includes both generating test cases and executing them automatically. Costs of a software test are increasing more and more. Many companies are searching for a test automation method but most used things are limited to regression test automation. So, when testing at first, there should be test cases which are drawn up by a human. This paper explains to make test cases based on a source code and execute them automatically. In this paper, the study proceeds with a digital television set-top box application and explains to test without any effort of human. Of course, this study is far from a realization to industries. But this paper has a contribution at reducing more human efforts than the previous regression test automation and showing that later, fully automated test can be possible.

This study purposes to analyze how the level of compensation system qualify(transparency, fairness, controllability) affects the satisfaction of employee concerned with compensation system and work efforts. To test above mentioned objectives, i conduct using the survey data directly survey and e-mail to the MBA students of university located In southeastern korea and analyze using the structural equation model. The results of this paper are as follows. First, the analysis results demonstrate a positive relationship between the level of compensation system qualify and the satisfaction of employee concerned with compensation system. Second, the level of compensation system quality positively affects employee' work efforts. Thirdly, the satisfaction of employee concerned with compensation system also positive effects on work effort. The above results mean that if the level of compensation system quality is higher, employee are satisfied with the compensation system, and increase the level of work effort.
