Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a PBL module in maternity nursing based on the clinical cases. A PBL module applied to maternity nursing class to test the effects on improving the learning ability of students. And it would be used for developing further PBL module even more perfectly. Method: We selected the concept of the PBL module which is based on the purpose of the contents of maternity nursing class and national test held by Korean Nursing Association. The module scenario was composed up of the cases of clinical practices and was also checked by clinical practice professionals as well as the nursing professionals in other colleges. We used this PBL module for the 20 second grade student nurses in K college for 6 weeks. Besides, we checked self-analyses on the PBL class, assessments done by students on the PBL class itself and on the academic adviser and analyzed the students' subjective statements on the PBL class . Results: The achievements of the experimental students given a PBL class, are better than those of the control group statistically. And the experimental group do their almost all learning planned actively for themselves and show their positive responses on the PBL class being helpful in practicing clinical cases. Conclusion: PBL class could be considered the method to fortify student nurses' abilities on adjusting themselves to clinical real situations through the learning planned by themselves. Afterwards it is necessary to activate PBL class in nurse education. Most of all, it is more important that nurse educators should recognize the values of this PBL class and try to apply it in reality.

Objectives : This study is aimed at developing and discussing the prediction model of blood stasis pattern of traditional Korean medicine(TKM) using machine learning algorithms: multiple logistic regression and decision tree model. Methods : First, we reviewed the blood stasis(BS) questionnaires of Korean, Chinese, and Japanese version to make a integrated BS questionnaire of patient-reported outcomes. Through a human subject research, patients-reported BS symptoms data were acquired. Next, experts decisions of 5 Korean medicine doctor were also acquired, and supervised learning models were developed using multiple logistic regression and decision tree. Results : Integrated BS questionnaire with 24 items was developed. Multiple logistic regression models with accuracy of 0.92(male) and 0.95(female) validated by 10-folds cross-validation were constructed. By decision tree modeling methods, male model with 8 decision node and female model with 6 decision node were made. In the both models, symptoms of 'recent physical trauma', 'chest pain', 'numbness', and 'menstrual disorder(female only)' were considered as important factors. Conclusions : Because machine learning, especially supervised learning, can reveal and suggest important or essential factors among the very various symptoms making up a pattern identification, it can be a very useful tool in researching diagnostics of TKM. With a proper patient-reported outcomes or well-structured database, it can also be applied to a pre-screening solutions of healthcare system in Mibyoung stage.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the strengths and weaknesses resulting from a study of elementary mathematics lessons among in-service teachers and to discuss implications for the direction of improvement of the study on elementary mathematics lessons based on teacher learning community. The results of this study showed that the study on elementary mathematics lessons based on teacher learning community improved teacher knowledge related to teaching mathematics, enhanced teacher's accomplishment and self-esteem, made it possible for participant teachers to teach one another, created atmosphere in which teachers investigated instruction via sustainable and systematic lesson study. However, some limitations were noticed such as regulations by the social norms of the teacher learning community, the influence of an expert teacher, teachers' unprofessional decision making, and lack of systematic evaluation and reflection on lessons. Based on these results, this paper closes with critical implications to enhance teacher learning community.

We developed a test bank system which dynamically adjusts to students' achievement levels. In order to dynamically calculate the student's achievement level, our system uses the question-response theory which is usually adopted to CAT. The system proposes appropriate questions depending on the students' achievement levels so that they can do self-directed and individualized learning. The system consists of pre-test, main learning, and review stages. In the pre-test stage, the intellectual level of the student is examined to determine the starting point in the main stage. In the main learning stage, individualized learning is performed. Finally, a review session is added to re-examine the questions that the student gave wrong answers. The output from the learning process of the system is not the usual test scores but the level of the student's intellectual ability which is produced through the question-response theory. The intellectual ability level index objectively measures the degree of improvement of the student's learning ability.

The purpose of this study was to develop elementary students' ability to generate hypothesis knowledge through knowledge generation learning in science. The learning program consisted of a series of 28 activities to generate hypotheses in science. Eighty 6th grade students participated in the study and were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was administered a program geared towards hypothesis generation learning and the control group was administered a program aimed at hypothesis expository learning in elementary science. After using the respective programs, subjects in both groups were tested in terms of their abilities in abductive knowledge generation and administered a descriptive self-report regarding their generation of hypotheses. Two of the 28 activity program worksheets in the experimental group were analyzed in terms of the quality and process of students' hypothesis generation. The results were as follows: 1) The experimental group showed significantly higher scores in terms of scientific knowledge generation (i.e. abductive knowledge generation) than the control group. 2) The degree of hypothesis explanation in the experimental group was significantly higher than in the control group in terms of the quality of the generated hypotheses. In addition, students in the experimental group generated more varied and valid knowledge than the control group in terms of sub-knowledge of hypothesis generation. Therefore, it can be argued that this program for hypothesis knowledge generation in elementary science students was effective in the generation of hypothesis knowledge.
