The purpose of this research is to analyze Korean teacher textbook use and explore the effective use of textbooks. The researcher surveyed teachers to obtain information relative to their dispositions and views of textbook use, and a subset interviewed to obtain additional insight about these views. For the sample, 278 elementary school teachers were surveyed and a group interview was conducted with 6 teachers. The results showed that many teachers teach all the students simply by following the textbook content. These results suggest that for effective us of textbooks, teachers need to understand how to reconstruct the textbook within an understanding of the textbook authors' intension for the textbook content.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of preoperative education about patient controlled analgesia (PCA) on postoperative pain control for elderly after total knee arthroplasty. Methods: The study applied a quasi-experimental design. To prevent communication between experimental group and control groups, data from control group were collected before provision of preoperative education for the experimental group. A total of 50 elderly patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty and older than 65 years old participated in this study. The preoperative education about PCA was provided for the experimental group before surgery. The preoperative education program consisted of fifteen minute education about pain control, and PCA use, as well as demonstration of PCA use. Results: The experimental group had higher knowledge score about pain and PCA use, and more positive attitudes toward pain and use of analgesics after surgery than the control group. There was no significant difference in use of additional analgesics after surgery between the two groups. The experimental group had significantly lower pain score at 8, 24 and 36 hours after surgery than the control group. The experimental group had higher level of satisfaction about PCA use than the control group. Conclusion: The preoperative education about PCA, customized for elderly patients could be an effective nursing intervention for postoperative pain control after total knee arthroplasty.

Telepresence robot-assisted learning can provide opportunities of education for students who are in vulnerable physical, intellectual, cultural or environmental conditions. It is to be applied in international virtual education for global citizenship education. To date, the study of acceptance model has been conducted only for preservice teachers, and post-intention for use is not considered. This paper identified whether there are significant differences by gender or years of experience from elementary school teachers on it and the basic factors that affect the acceptance intentions for it. Factors related to intention to use for a telepresence robot were investigated, and a questionnaire about post-intention for use was made after participants operated. The results showed that elementary school teachers did not have a significant difference in each factor by gender. The experienced teachers showed no difficulty in using it. It was shown that PU, ATT, PENJ, SI and Ttrust were all extremely significant factors to affect acceptance intentions. It will be possible to establish educational information policies based on the acceptance intentions of elementary school teachers on telepresence robot-assisted learning.

This research applies the discursive approach to investigate the social transformation of students' conceptual model of differential equations. The analysis focuses on the students' use of metaphor in class in order to find kinds of metaphor used, their characteristics, and a pattern in the use of metaphor. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that the students' conceptual model of differential equations gradually becomes transformed with respect to the historical and cultural structure of the communal practice of mathematics. The findings suggest that through participating in the daily practice of mathematics as a historical and cultural product, a learner becomes socially transformed to a certain kind of a cultural being with historicity. This implies that mathematics education is concerned with the formation of historical and cultural identity at a fundamental level.
