Problem Based Learning (PBL) is one of methods which has been developed to promote student-centered learning and to pursue self-directed learning for life-long learning. The purpose of this study is exploring the possibility of Problem Based Learning (PBL) in college Earth science course. The participants of this study were fourteen students attending an Earth science class at Sookmyung Women's University in Seoul. PBL was implemented in the form of group project with utilizing Web-based course tool. We provided questionnaires and conducted interviews to figure out students' perception about PBL. The findings were as follows: Through a given experiences, (1) students participated more actively than LBL (Lecture Based Learning), (2) more students were engaged with self-directed learning, and (3) students made higher cognitive efforts. LBL seemed to be more efficient way to acquire factual knowledge. In the meanwhile, PBL did not seem to affect the improvement of communication skills. Students could not make use of Web-based course tool effectively in communicating with other team members. In this study, we found that college student participants preferred problems related to everyday life, environmental issues and interesting but unusual incidents. On the other hand, they felt difficult in open-ended problems, especially when they were asked to provide their own evaluation. On the basis of PBL experiment in this paper, we present one method of successful implementation of PBL and suggest topics which should be studied in the future.

There have been a lot of studies on problem based instruction and collaborative learning environment, but there is a lack of the studies on a system that offers a collaborative learning environment for problem based instruction. Thus I developed and applied a collaborative instruction system for web based problem based instruction. The system was comprised of the collaborative instruction room and the problem based instruction room so that the students could solve the problems by groups through collaborative instruction. The developed system was applied to the actual learning. As a result, the system contributed to the students' improvement in academic achievements, drew a high degree of responses from them, and had positive effects on their affective domain.

The popularity of the web based education has come the need for variety learning methods and for business to exploit the web not only for interoperability but also standardization. This way of standardization has come to researched for environments, contents and practical uses in ISO. The IEEE has special]y established five technical classes for LTSA which provide advanced e-learning environments. Feedback functions would not be supported and specified in standardization for Query Answer on LTSA. In this paper, we describe the query and answer model which we have developed on layer three of LTSA. We develop the redefined model for transforming data flow oriented into object or component based model. We have developed the Query Answer Metadata (QAM) based on Learning Object Metadata (LOM). We design and showed thing a prototyping implementation the Query Answer Learning Tool (QALT). We have used the QALT to address the problem of efficiency of web based education. We also used it to develop the related tools with quality and productivity.

In this study, we will explain the concept of an organized and collective web based project learning system and suggest a basic structure concentrating on the learners. The web-based project learning system enables learners to use the diverse information on the internet any where, any time. Also the project system aims to go beyond classroom education and achieve learner-focused education with a project based on the students' tastes.

Web 2.0 is changing the paradigm of using the Internet which is affecting the e-learning paradigm. E-learning 2.0 based on the Web 2.0 has a bottom-up approach which learners work on content with social networking and collaboration in their own cyberspace. Second Life is presented as a new e-learning environment. - Flexibility, - Strong social networking, - Residents’ creative activities of Second Life ⇨ Unlimited potential to educators Second Life is a classroom built in 3D cyber space.

Web 2.0 could influence the teaching and learning system significantly due to its characteristics to utilize information using internet in various ways, to create information, and to reorganize it through information sharing. In this new environment of information-oriented classes using the computer, positive education method is required to develop new teaching/learning method based on the internet web 2.0 in order to fulfill the learner's intellectual curiosity and to lead the future-oriented classes. This paper proposed a teaching-learning models in the web 2.0-based internet information education and its effect analysis.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of English vocabulary learning strategies such as definition-oriented/contextoriented/situated context-oriented vocabulary learning strategy according to the cognitive styles of learners and interaction effect on the achievement test score between the learners' cognitive style and vocabulary learning strategies. The results show that there is no significant difference in the achievement test scores between field-dependent learner group and field-independent learner group. And there is significant difference in the English vocabulary achievement test scores among three experimental treatment groups, definition-oriented, context-oriented, situated context-oriented vocabulary learning strategy groups. Finally, there is an interaction effect on the achievement test score between the learners' cognitive style and vocabulary learning strategies.

The modern society as a high-level information-oriented society lays a great emphasis on lifelong education. It emphasizes all the learners' creative learning ability and various teaching-learning methods as well. We need the self-directed learning to meet these requirements, and one of the solutions is the self-directed teaching-learning process employing the web. Though many educators, so far, developed a number of teaching materials, they are no more than web-based teaching materials for simple learning activities or simple item-bank systems. So, this paper suggests an problem-solving based and self-directed learning system on web in order to overcome such simplicities, and it shows design and implementation of the system. Suggested learning system enables learners to get thinking skill though self-directed control of learning level after they learn the basic concepts and principles on the web as self-directed learning. For example, the system was applied to mathematics education for a middle school students. It supports a test of questions chosen from the item bank in a self-directed way, and helps learners to understand their learning levels for themselves and to solve their questions through on-line discussions with their instructor. The system can also be helpful in improving the learners' learning effects by sharing mutual information through the data room or the Q&A between learners and learners or between learners and instructors.

With the development of Internet technology, the construction and spread of network environment increased educational adaption and utilization based on World Wide Web. Learners are educated in the competitive, individual, or collaborative learning structure. Among them, competitive and individual educational methods are criticized for bringing about excessive competition and a lack of cooperation. As a new way of educational method, the interest for the collaborative learning structure was increased. In this perspective, we design and implement a web-based collaborative learning system which is adapted the merit and model of collaboration learning and show that the proposed system improves learning achievement and motivation by experimental study on student groups.
