PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of multimodal intervention through VR (virtual reality)-based immersion program on the cognitive function and brain activity of patients with mild cognitive impairment. METHODS: The subjects of the study were 10 people in the experimental group who applied a complex intervention that performed cognitive tasks using the movement of the upper extremities through the VR program, and 10 people in the control group who received traditional occupational therapy. After the study intervention was applied 5 times a week, 30 minutes a day for a total of 8 weeks, LOTCA-G(Lowenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment for Geriatric Population) and NIRSIT LITE were used to compare. RESULTS: Significant differences in cognitive function and brain activity were noted between the pre- test and post-test in the experimental group. Brain activity showed statistically significant differences in four channels of the working memory domain and one channel of the metacognitive domain (p < . 05). Comparative analysis of the difference between the two groups revealed statistically significant differences in cognitive function and brain activity. The brain activity showed statistically significant differences in three channels of the working memory domain and one channel of the metacognitive domain (p < .05). CONCLUSION: Through the results of this study, it was found that the complex intervention of performing cognitive tasks using upper extremity movements through the VR program had a positive effect on the cognitive function of patients with mild cognitive.

Mathematical modeling can be described as a series of processes in which real-world problem situations are understood, interpreted using mathematical methods, and solved based on mathematical models. The effectiveness of mathematics instruction using mathematical modeling has been demonstrated through prior research. This study aims to explore insights for mathematical modeling instruction by analyzing the metacognitive characteristics shown in the mathematical modeling cycle, according to the mathematical thinking styles of elementary math gifted students. To achieve this, a mathematical thinking style assessment was conducted with 39 elementary math gifted students from University-affiliated Science Gifted Education Center, and based on the assessment results, they were classified into visual, analytical, and mixed groups. The metacognition manifested during the process of mathematical modeling for each group was analyzed. The analysis results revealed that metacognitive elements varied depending on the phases of modeling cycle and their mathematical thinking styles. Based on these findings, didactical implications for mathematical modeling instruction were derived.

This study has attempted to analyze the achievement standards in the 2015 revised curriculum, based on the revision of Bloom's Taxonomy and aims to identify the knowledge and required competencies in the fourth industrial era. The results of this study are as follows: First, the knowledge dimensions was the highest 'metacognitive knowledge' in middle school, while 'factual knowledge' was the highest in high school, and 'knowledge of specific details and elements' was the highest subtype of all of the knowledge dimensions. The dimensions of the cognitive process, such as the terms 'apply' and 'analyze' in middle school, as 'understand' and 'evaluate' in high school have been treated inattentively. Second, the knowledge dimension and the cognitive process dimension according to key concepts display the metacognitive knowledge and 'understand' in development, the conceptual knowledge and 'understand' in relationship. While the 'metacognitive knowledge' and 'apply' in life culture, the 'procedural knowledge' and 'evaluate' in safety, the 'factual knowledge' and 'apply' in management and the 'metacognitive knowledge' and 'understand' in life design were extremely high. Third, the verbs used in the achievement standards displayed as 'explore', 'understand', 'analyze', 'practice', 'suggest', 'recognize' and 'evaluate'. Since the statement of the action verb is the very basis for determining the performance process, specific competencies may be achieved by reflecting on the actual achievement standards. These standards should provide us with a effective cognitive process for to understand a learner's performance skills and support the direction of the education required, through a strategy that refines the connection between content elements and functions and develop their competences for the future.

This study examines the effects of two motivational orientations on the use of language learning strategies at overall, category, and specific-item levels. 184 students (males and females) from a Korean university responded to the following two questionnaires: the Motivational Orientation Questionnaire (MOQ) developed by the author and Oxford's Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL). The results showed that both integratively- and instrumentally-oriented students were moderate strategy users overall. Integratively-oriented learners were found to use learning strategies more often and a broader spectrum of strategies than instrumentally-oriented learners. A noteworthy finding, however, is that strategy use was not motivation orientation-specific. In other words, the two motivational groups were found to share the similar patterns of strategy use. Independent samples t test results revealed that integratively-oriented students exhibited significantly greater use of overall strategy than instrumentally-oriented students. This phenomenon held true for the use of cognitive, metacognitive, and social categories. At the specific item levels, 13 of the total 50 individual strategies were shown to be employed significantly more often by integratively motivated learners than by their instrumentally motivated peers.

Creative problem solving skills in mathematics were measured by fluency, flexibility, and originality; cognitive strategies were measured by rehearsal, elaboration, organization, planning, monitoring, and regulating. The Creative Problem Solving Test in Mathematics developed at the Korea Educational Development Institute(Kim et al., 1997) and the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire(Pintrich & DeGroot, 1990) were administered to 84 subjects in grade 5(45 girls, 39 boys). Data were analyzed by Pearson's correlation, multiple regression analysis, and canonical correlation analysis. Results indicated that positive regulating predicted total score and fluency, flexibility, and originality scores of creative problem solving skills. Elaboration, rehearsal, organization, regulating, monitoring, and planning positively contributed to the fluency and flexibility scores of creative problem solving skills.

The objective of the present study was to model the relationships between language learning strategy use and language proficiency among the Asian (Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese) students studying English in the United States. The instruments were a language learning strategy Questionnaire and the Institutional Testing Program Test of English as a Foreign Language (ITP TOEFL). Structural equation modeling was utilized to model the relationships between language learning strategies and language proficiency. The present study found only weak relationships between language learning strategies and language proficiency. Only 13% and 15% of variance of the listening and grammar/reading factor were explained by the language learning strategies. The metacognitive strategies appeared not to have direct relationships to the language skill factors, as was found in other studies (Purpura, 1996, 1997). The effects of the social and affective strategies were very small. They in combination could account about 1% and 4% of the variance of the listening and grammar/reading factors.

The purpose of the paper is to provide the importance of matacognition as a factor to correct the errors generated by the intuition. For this, first of all, we examine not only the role of metacognition in mathematics education but also the errors generated by the intuition in the mathematical problem solving process. Next, we research the possibility of using metacognition as a factor to correct the errors in the mathematical problem solving process via both the related theories about the metacognition and an example. In particular, we are able to acknowledge the importance of the role of metacognition throughout the example in the process of the problem solving It is not difficult to conclude from the study that emphasis on problem solving will enhance the development of problem solving ability via not only the activity of metacognition but also intuitive thinking. For this, it is essential to provide an environment that the students can experience intuitive thinking and metacognitive activity in mathematics education .

The purpose of this thesis is to search the situation of an outbreak of the fallacy and methods of its treatment. We regard intuition as origins of genuine knowledge, but it sometimes raises the fallacy by intrinsic characters of itself. It makes an examination of the fallacy of the sense of sight like an optical illusion to instance that of sense. The sense of sight is an important factor in an intuitive cognition. However, its activity without thinking raises the fallacy of intuition in the process to observe and judge the things. I point out the fallacy of intuition which originates from terms and concepts in mathematical problems. The concept of mean velocity is representative. In this case, students make a mistake which means velocity can be solved by dividing the sum of v$_1$ and v$_2$ into two. The methods which overcome the fallacy of intuition are balance of intuition and logic, overcome of functional fixedness, the development of intuitive models and the development of metacognitive ability.
