  • This study investigates maker pedagogy as learning method with graduate students. The exemplary maker pedagogy instructional model in this study is intended to enhance student's research competence. This study examines how the teacher designs and implements maker pedagogy instructional model, and what students have experienced in conduction research project. students provide evidence that they have improved their competence to raise research questions, to make use of research methodology. Their learning experience depends on whether they are heterogeneously grouped or homogeneously grouped in terms of intellectual ability, research experience, etc. Additionally, students suggest that the teacher needs to administrate the learning process regularly, to build up an interdisciplinary network to provide students knowledge and methodologies needed for conducting research, and to create learning environment where each student is possibly enriched with individual accountability and responsibility on each own learning process. In conclusion, this study provides several suggestions for more valuable maker pedagogy instructional models in graduate class.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop and apply three types SMART instructional modules about the mineral resources and investigate its effect. One hundred students in the experimental group and 111 students in the control group from 6 classes in the $1^{st}$ year of a girl's high school participated in this study. One unit of tablet PC was provided to every two students in the experimental group and three types of SMART classes were implemented in class. Teacher-centered traditional classes were carried out for the control group. The instrument designed to assess the level of students' interest in mineral resources consisted of 10 items using 5-point Likert scale. To investigate the level of students' understanding, 15 items were developed on the mineral, mineral deposits, and the development of mineral resources. In addition, the participants were asked to describe advantages and disadvantages of the classes using the SMART modules. Results are as follows. First, participants in the experimental group showed a significantly higher level of interest on the mineral and the mineral learning than those in the control group. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the desire to observe minerals and rocks. Second, students in the experimental group showed a higher level of understanding than the control group. The students with higher learning ability showed a significantly higher level of understanding than the lower group students. Third, the participants pointed out that the advantage of the SMART instructional modules was their experience in searching the relevant information and producing diverse outputs about mineral resource. On the contrary, the difficulties in coordinating opinions and decision making due to the excessive quantity of information were perceived as the disadvantage.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an instruction using geologic planar figures on high school students' ability of spatial visualization and geologic spatial ability and also to explore its applicability as an instructional strategy through the investigation of students' perception about the instruction using mixed methodology. For this purpose, we developed 10 planar figures of geologic structures (2 horizontal layers, 2 vertical layers, 4 angular layers, 1 fault, and 1 fold), and tested students' spatial visualization ability and geologic spatial ability before and after the implementation in class. In addition, in order to investigate students' perception on the instruction, we conducted quantitative research using questionnaires comprised of the cognitive and the affective domain, and followed by focus group interview that was conducted to obtain deeper understanding of their perception. Findings revealed that the instruction using geologic planar figures was effective to enhance spatial visualization ability and geologic spatial ability. It was also helpful for students to enhance their ability to perceive the spatial configuration of the geologic structures as well as the ability to penetrate visually into the images of the structures. The results of the students' perception on the instruction showed that the students recognized the instruction using geologic planar figures as a strongly positive teaching method both in the cognitive and affective domain. We concluded that geologic planar figures could be used as an effective tool for the lesson of 'mapping and interpreting of geological map', and be highly applicable for the advanced class in high schools.

  • Computer education in France has begun in the 1960, and the education system covering elementary and middle school was completed in 2018. Since the industrialization of France, the research on the instructional method and system on computer science education had been conducted for over 60 years as a core skill to prepare for the future society. There are four major implications we have figured out in this study. First, each achievement goal to be achieved is set based on the hierarchy of school grades. Second, the full establishment of computer science education was completed in three years after the curriculum was announced in France. Third, the contents are presented to enhance problem solving ability through programming algorithms based on the balance between computer literacy and the concepts of computer science. Fourth, the contents of integrated computer science education is considered with in the lower grades of elementary school, and it is proposed to deepen understanding and programming of computer literacy and the concept of computer science as the grade and school level get higher.
