본 연구는 영어를 외국어로 배우고 있는 한국 EFL 초등 학습자들의 부족한 영어 노출 시간을 연장하면서 말하기 능력을 향상하기 위한 방안으로 게이미피케이션을 접목한 스마트 러닝 과제학습을 설계했다. 경쟁, 보상, 맞춤형 캐릭터 등의 게임 요소를 영어 교육에 접목한 '교육 게이미피케이션'의 일환인 본 연구는 모의실험에서 발견된 개선점들을 반영해 주의 집중 시간이 상대적으로 짧은 초등 학습자들에게 과제 학습이라는 부담을 줄이고 영어 말하기 게임을 재미있게 받아들여 적극적인 게임참여를 유도하는데 중점을 뒀다. 특히 영어 문장을 만드는데 어려움을 겪는 학습자들이 '카카오 톡'의 장점인 즉각적인 상호작용과 음성 녹음 기능을 활용한 실시간 및 비실시간 게임을 통해 실력 향상과 더불어 자기효능감도 고취시킬 수 있는 교육 게이미피케이션의 다양한 시도가 요구된다.

기후 변화의 감지, 예측의 최적지이며 미래 기술, 자원의 보고인 극지의 중요성에 따라 극지 교육의 필요성이 더욱 강조됐다. 이에 본 연구에서는 극지에 대한 초등학생의 일반적 인지 및 정의적 특성을 탐색한 후, 극지에 대한 경험 다양성 수준에 따른 인지 및 정의적 특성을 추가로 분석했다. 연구를 위해 개발된 검사 문항은 43명의 초등학교 5학년생을 대상으로 한 예비 검사를 통해 수정, 보완되었다. 검사 문항은 학생들의 배경 변인으로 성별, 극지에 대한 학습 경험 및 일상 경험, 과학적 소양을 묻는 문항과 극지 지식, 기능, 신념, 태도를 묻는 문항으로 구성됐다. 문항의 유형은 선택형, 진위형, 리커트(4점)이며 총 66개다. 검사에 참여한 학생들은 대·중·소 도시의 초등학교에 재학 중인 5학년생 323명이다. 연구 결과, 학생들은 극지의 변화와 관련된 과학적 원인 및 과정보다는 극지의 변화로 인한 극적인 결과에 관심이 크고 잘 알았다. 이는 극지의 주요 특징임과 동시에 극지 환경 변화 매커니즘의 중심에 있는 얼음에 대한 이해보다, 극지 환경 변화로서 고통 받을 극지 생물에 더욱 관심이 크고 잘 알고 있다는 사실을 통해 확인됐다. 또한, 학생들은 극지 기후 변화의 문제를 자신을 제외한 전지구적 문제로 인식했다. 북극과 남극에서 일어나는 일은 전 세계에 영향을 미치지만, 자기 자신과 지역 사회에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 생각한다는 것이다. 극지에 대한 지식의 수준과 극지 관련 자료를 해석, 추론하는 탐구 능력은 서로 큰 관련이 없었으며, 극지에 대한 경험 다양성의 수준이 높은 학생일수록 극지의 과학 기술에 대한 이해가 뛰어났다. 본 연구는 학생들의 극지 소양 관련 특성을 점검했다는 것과, 향후 극지 교육이 나아가야 할 방향을 제시하는 기초 자료가 될 것이라는 점에서 의미가 있다.

This paper compares and analyzes mathematics teachers' understanding of students' mathematical comprehension after experiences with the Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) or the Development of Mathematical Ideas (DMI) teaching strategies. This report sheds light on current issues confronted by the educational system in the context of mathematics teaching and learning. In particular, the declining rate of mathematical literacy among adolescents is discussed. Moreover, examples of CGI and DMI teaching strategies are presented to focus on the impact of these teaching styles on student-centered instruction, teachers' belief, and students' mathematical achievement, conceptual understanding and word problem solving skills. Hence, with a gradual enhancement of reformed ways of teaching mathematics in schools and the reported increase in student achievement as a result of professional development with new teaching strategies, teacher professional development programs that emphasize teachers' understanding of students' mathematical comprehension is needed rather than the currently dominant traditional pedagogy of direct instruction with a focus on teaching problem solving strategies.

This study is on capacity building and attitude to work of librarians in Edo State public libraries, Nigeria. Investigation was on the capacity building programs in the Edo State public libraries, the levels of librarians' awareness and participation in the programs, methods of building the capacity programs, influence on the librarians' attitudes to work and factors militating against the programs. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study and the entire population of 23 librarians were used. Results indicate that the capacity building programs in the library include computer literacy skills, online public access catalogue (OPAC), Internet collection management and general trends in librarianship. The methods used in building the capacity programs in the library include conferences, workshops/seminars, on-the-job and internally organized courses. Respondents indicated very low level of participation in the programs and a negative influence of the programs on their attitudes to work. Various problems were identified as militating against the capacity building programs and solutions were suggested.

Within a framework of sociocultural approaches to writing process, this study examined six ESL graduate students' writing processes in depth based on individual interviews and their narratives of writing process. The narratives and interviews were analyzed to discover salient aspects of the students' writing processes and to understand the socially situated nature of the writing processes. First, it was observed that these six students displayed multiplicity in terms of their representations of writing process, episodes, textual practices, and concerns. Several factors including the writing task, students' familiarity with genre, literacy skills, attitude toward writing, and involvement in interaction contributed to individualized trajectories of writing process. It was also revealed that writing is unavoidably a socially situated practice. Students were situated in their cultural arenas as well as their disciplinary arenas, and these contexts helped the students serve as active agents producing and sharing knowledge. The confluence of personal, cognitive, and social factors observed in their writing processes suggests that writing process should be understood from multiple perspectives.

This study of 322 elementary school children examined the interrelatedness of internet preference, frequencies of internet activities, usage of children's popular internet sites, knowledge of internet sites, and children's reading abilities. Usage of children's popular internet sites and knowledge of internet sites are interrelated with decoding and comprehension. Age, knowledge of internet sites, and sex predicted children's reading abilities. The extent of exposure to various internet activities differentiated children's reading comprehension. Results show that processes of reading text information and multimedia materials through the internet involve not only the skills of reading traditional printed texts but also new reading strategies.

The purpose of this study was to explore how science docents developed their expertise in the context of situated learning where two experienced docents played roles of mentors. Two experienced docents as mentors and six participating docents as mentees interacted in the community to develop exhibition interpretation strategies to be more professional in interacting with visitors through the workshops developed by the researcher. To figure out how docents developed their expertise in exhibit interpretation, the researcher collected the data from docents through observation, artifacts, and interviews as well as surveys. The result of this study included that participating docents formed new perception about scientific inquiry as well as scientific literacy and they developed professional skills of planning, implementing, and reflecting of exhibition interpretation in the context of situated learning, where docents formed alliance one another. It is recognized that participating docents' passions to be professional in exhibition interpretation and two experienced docents' wills as mentors made dynamic interaction in pursuing the same aim of docents' expertise in exhibition interpretation.

With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, software(SW) education has become a necessity, not a choice of those who live in the digital age. Recently, many countries around the world have been actively promoting software education based on Computational Thinking(CT) for K-12 students, so software education in schools has bigger meaning as basic literacy education of future digital generation rather than coding skills. However, the integration of software education as a formal curriculum in schools is still ongoing in even other countries. Korea is also pursuing software education, but it is in the beginning stage. Therefore, we need to study the cases of other countries that have already started software education at the national level. In this paper, we first investigate the software education cases of three countries, e.g., UK, France and China with a respect of background & educational objective, development stage, and curriculum and we suggest education policies that software education can settle in Korea schools to foster a creative talented people.
