The purpose of this study is to relieve the difficulties caused by science terminology in science learning and increasing the efficiency of science education. The reason why students experience difficulties in science terminology is because science words are used without being filtered by a criteria and students have not had the opportunity to be educated properly in science terminology. As a way to solve this problem, we propose establishing a criteria about the science words used in science education and to teach the science words systematically to the students under the criteria. In this study, we used the method of empirical linguistics that investigate the science terminologies actually used in science education to establish a criteria for science words. As a basic research for this, we analyzed all words contained in the physics section of science textbooks for elementary and secondary schools. And then, we collected all words used in the physics section of science textbook, and selected the science words for teaching, and rated them by grade. As a result, a total of 930 physics terms were selected as the science words for grade 3 to 10. The numbers of physics terms per grade were as follows: 66 words for the 3rd grade, 38 words for the 4th grade, 35 words for the 5th grade, 28 words for the 6th grade, 203 words for the 7th grade, 135 words for the 8th grade, 123 words for the 9th grade, and 302 words for the 10th grade.

In terms of science learning for students and of scientific literacy for the general public, understanding science terminology is very important. Aside from the science language education delivered in schools, we assumed that supplementary materials are necessary to search and study the meaning of science terminologies for students or the general public. This study aims to investigate whether explanation texts of portal dictionary, Pyojun Korean Dictionary, and science textbooks are easy to read or understand for students and how the students perceive the explanations they present. The results show that science textbooks are easier to read and understand for students than the portal dictionary or Pyojun Korean Dictionary. However, all three materials have very low level of readability compared with students' average level. There definitely are rooms for improvement to increase their readability.

This study explores terminology for legs and feet in the traditional Korean and Western furniture. Pieces of traditional Korean and Western furniture have been largely made of the eco-friendly material, natural wood, and thus important in the latest trends of wellness, such as LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability) and a green period. Legs in traditional Korean furniture appeared in dinging tables, and the feet in wardrobes. The limited use of legs and feet seems to be influenced by floor-oriented lifestyles of Korean ancestors. In contrast, most pieces of Western furniture, which is from the chair and bed culture, have various styles of foot and leg. While th two groups are from different backgrounds, both of them have developed various legs and feet applying natural subjects such as animals and plants to each of their furniture including wardrobes, cabinets, dining tables, chairs, consoles, etc. It is also found that the traditional Korean furniture can be influenced by a traditional Chinese chair foot called Neabunmajae, which describes inner horse foot. Neabunmajae was known in Korean furniture legs and feet, but the terminology has not been known. The study suggests that terms which appear in traditional furniture but are unknown should be studied more.

North-South Korean information technology(IT) terminologies are going to be gradually changed differently as the time is flowed. In accordance with the age of advanced information science and technology, the IT terminologies should be mutually identified and confirmed on the basis of ISO2382 Korean standardization being set up for the international IT terminologies made by the scholars both Republic of Korea(ROK) and Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea(DPRK). In the present study, the results of mutual efforts on IT standardization since 1994 has been firstly analyzed systematically for the advanced North-South Korean IT terminology. Secondly, the differences of the IT terminologies used currently in both ROK and DPRK have been also analyzed and classified in the three categories. Thirdly, the current IT terminologies used in both ROK and DPRK have been summarized on the basis of "Encyclopedia of 21 Century Computer Terminology." Fourth, it has been finally set up the construction scheme of conceptual system on compiling operations for the dictionary of North-South Korean IT terminologies.

The purpose of this study is to find factors to affect on the formation of semantic relation from terminology and what is to be affected by these factors to build the database scheme of terminology dictionary by a structural definition. In this research, 826,905 keywords of 88,874 social science articles and 985,580 keywords of 125,046 humanities science articles in the KCI journals from 2007 to 2011 were collected. From collected data, subject complexity, structural hole, term frequency, occurrence pattern and an effect between the number of nodes and the number of patterns which were derived from the semantic relation of linked terms of established 'STNet' System were analyzed. The summarized results from analyzed data and network patterns are as follows. Betweenness Centrality, term frequency, and effective size affect the numbers of semantic relation node. Among these factors, betweenness centrality was the most effective and effective size. But term frequency was the least effective. Betweenness Centrality, term frequency, and effective size affect the numbers of semantic relation type. Term frequency is the most effective. Therefore, when building a terminology dictionary, factors of betweenness centrality, term frequency, effective size, and complexity of subject are needed to select term. As a result, these factors can be expected to improve the quality of terminology dictionary.

최근 다국어 정보검색, 기계번역 등과 관련하여 자동 음차 표기 및 복원에 대한 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 특히 영어와 한국어 같이 그 음운구조의 차이가 큰 언어 쌍인 경우에는 간단한 문제가 아니다. 더구나 외래어를 영어로 복원하는 것은 표기의 경우보다 훨씬 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 결정트리 학습을 통한 한/영 자동 음차 복원 방법을 제안하고 기존의 방법 및 로마자 표기법에 기반한 방법에 비교하여 매우 정확하게 복원이 가능함을 보인다.

In this research a questionary survey was implemented to investigate how elementary school students in $3^{rd}-6^{th}$ grade understood articles or terminology using electromagnetic wave technology in contemporary culture. Also, part of students who had participated in questionnaire survey was interviewed 2 times for each 20 minute personally to investigate students＇ perceptions about some household articles in their every day life using electromagnetic wave technology. As a result, first, elementary school students had pretty higher perceptions of the artificial satellite provided in their curriculum and the technology of electromagnetic wave released from cartoons, computer games or advertisements. Second, because they were concerned about appearances of household articles, they perceived some household articles in their every day life with conceptions of electricity or visual mechanism.

This article intends to explore the formation of furniture terms with the name of furniture, furniture materials, tools, and machinery from eight furniture companies manufacturing their own different furniture items. As a result of this study, the terms can be abstracted as four things as follows. First of all, the terminology that the furniture firms is are unified over 80 percent and has no problem on the communication among the companies. Especially office furniture all is using common words because the terms are almost fixed by an administration agreement relating to the Supply Administration. Second, the furniture terms being used at the fields are mixed with Korean, English, and Japanese, and this current state shows more at small businesses than at large businesses Third, the terms of foreign words, almost English, present 48 percent as 156 words among the total 325 terms. Japanese shows 6 percent as 21 terms but it tends to be handed down from mouth to mouth with inaccurate conditions. Finally, the formation of the terms are from the original words or English, from the combination of Korean and foreign words for convenience at the fields, and from being created as Korean newly in considering Korea's special situation.

The mushroom production reached to 1000 billion won in monetary value in Korea. We, however, do not have systematic terminology dictionary published yet. Recently new varieties of medicinal mushrooms in addition to culinary mushrooms are being introduced steadily through out the world. This makes the necessity of coordinated and consistent arrangement of terms involved in culture, cultivation and physiological aspects of mushrooms. Various components in relation to the medicinal and physiological functionality also poses ambiguity in terminology along with the terms used in breeding and genetic researches. Moreover, some of the scientific terms are being used erroneously. In order to help mushroom cultivators, students, and mushroom business personnel in understanding the terms on mushroom science and technology we intended to collect and organize all the terms related to mushroom morphology and cultivation, poison and medicinal functionality, processing and utilization, and so on. Thirteen professionals from each field participated in this project. The fields included here are : 1) Genetics and breeding of mushrooms, 2) Cultivation and physiology of mushrooms, 3) Taxonomy and ecology of mushrooms, 4) Processing and functional components, 5) Blight and insects of mushrooms.
