This study aimed to explore EFL learners' beliefs and preferences about reading tasks and to examine the reading processes that they use for making sense of text. The subjects were comprised of 107 college students who were non-English majors and aged 19-28 years. Based on scores achieved on a reading comprehension test, they were divided into two groups (more-skilled and less-skilled readers) and asked to respond to a survey in class. The results of the survey revealed that: (1) a majority rate themselves as fair readers, which might be indicative of the insecurity they feel toward L2 reading; (2) authentic texts (especially magazines) and popular media appear to be their favorite reading materials; (3) unknown vocabulary is a major impediment to their L2 reading comprehension; (4) the more-skilled readers manifest a meaning centered view of reading, whereas the less-skilled readers center on vocabulary; and (5) both groups employ a multistrategic approach to L2 reading; however, the less-skilled readers are less successful in determining the meaning of unknown vocabulary. Pedagogical implications for EFL classroom teachers are provided.

The purpose of this study was (l) to explore the present state of worksheets for home use with young children, and (2) to examine perceptions of young children's mothers and editors about these worksheets. 40 kinds of worksheets delivered to children's homes were analyzed. 106 mothers and 131 editors were surveyed by use of questionnaires which had been developed by the researchers. The results showed that (1) even though there are many types of worksheets delivered to the homes of young children, there are few worksheets which meet their teaching goals; (2) young children's mothers are well informed about the state of worksheets, and they would like to supplement the worksheets with visits by teachers who majored in child related studies; (3) the editors of worksheets have mostly majored in Korean language, English, and Math-related studies but not in child related studies.

프로그래밍 교육은 프로그래밍에 필요한 지식 교육부분과 문제해결능력과 연관된 프로그래밍 전략을 교육하는 부분이 함께 필요하다. 프로그램 작성 기술을 교육하는 과정은 단순한 지식 습득과정이 아니므로 수업과정에서 학습자 스스로 문제해결능력을 배양할 수 있는 유도과정이 필요하다. 이러한 특성의 프로그래밍 수업의 대표적인 수업방식은 실습방식으로, 실제 수업에서 학습자들의 서로 다른 수준을 고려하면서 실습수업을 효과적으로 운영하기에는 수업시간에 대한 제약이 많이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 프로그래밍 교육에서 사전 프로그래밍 과제를 활용하여 주어진 학점과 시간 안에서 실습 중심의 학습 효과를 높일 수 있는 교수 학습 모델을 제시한다. 이를 통해 프로그래밍 언어 교육 과정에서 발생하는 제한된 실습수업 시간으로 인해 학습자 스스로가 문제해결능력을 배양할 수 있도록 유도하는 수업을 실시하는데 발생하는 어려움을 해결하여, 학습자가 문제해결능력을 향상시키고 좋은 프로그램 작성 기준에 적합한 프로그램 개발 능력을 배양하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

The present design, which is English Zone Development Project for 'G' Elementary School at Seo gu, Incheon, contained various booths for experiential learning corners as well as spaces of teaching learning through group study, dramas and role plays, breaking away from the structure and atmosphere of traditional language labs, and at the same time it include a school building as an affiliated space where the whole students can gather for discussion and learning. The general design concept adopted the atmosphere of an exotic street, installing five theme booths (airport, bank, hospital, book/game store and shop) along the wall and applying the image of road to the floor in order to perform role plays. The blackboard and furniture were also designed to produce the atmosphere of street so that elementary students take interest and actively participate in learning.

The concept of variables is central to mathematics teaching and learning in junior and senior high school. Understanding the concept provides the basis for the transition from arithmetic to algebra and necessary for the meaningful use of all advanced mathematics. Despite the importance of the concept, however, much has been written in the last decade concerning students' difficulties with the concept. This Thesis is based on research to investigate the hypothesis that LOGO programming will contribute to 6th grader' learning of variables. The aim of the research were to; .investigate practice on pupils' understanding of variables before the activity with a computer; .identify functions of LOGO programming in pupils' using and understanding of variable symbols, variable domain and the relationship between two variable dependent expressions during the activity using a computer; .investigate the influence of pupils' mathematical belief on understanding and using variables. The research consisted predominantly of a case study of 6 pupils' discourse and activities concerning variable during their abnormal lessons and interviews with researcher. The data collected for this study included video recordings of the pupils'work with their spoken language.

Recently, the development of electronic teaching materials and the demand of digital learners have led the needs on the education contents that replace learning from character information and the change of an information design method for this. Chinese character education in the traditional schooling mainly focuses on writing and memorization (semantic memory). This way that the stories do not exist has brought the learners' recognition that Chinese character is difficult to learn. Meanwhile, for a language study such as English, cross-media development between printed materials and audio-visual materials has been actively introduced. The method that extends episode memories along with memorization through a story is widely used. Therefore, this content suggests a prototype, which is broken away from an existing way of learning Chinese character that mainly focuses on writing, one sided instruction and information cramming. This makes learners learn through a story from printed materials and animation. Furthermore, it suggests a method that extends episode memories through Chinese education contents based on IoT explaining the principle of Chinese character by combining IT technology (information and communications, IoT) and education contents on block toys.

SW중심사회의 창의적 인재를 위한 핵심 역량 중 코딩능력에 대한 중요도가 높아지고 있다. 이러한 능력을 배양하기 위해서 학습자의 지식 형성을 웹 상에서 능동적으로 학습할 수 있는 온라인 코딩교육 시스템이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 코딩능력에 대한 효과적인 학습과 효율적인 실습을 위해 자동화된 평가가 가능한 온라인 평가(online judge) 모듈 기반의 온라인 코딩 교육 시스템을 제안한다. 제안 시스템은 대학교의 C 프로그래밍 언어 수업에 적용되었으며, 시스템 상에서 166명이 학생이 46,288번의 코드 작성으로 61개의 실습과제를 수행하였다. 전체 학습자의 59.46%가 제안 시스템을 활용한 코딩 학습으로 학습 능력이 향상되었음을 응답하였다.

This study was conducted to understand elementary school from third to sixth grade students' conceptions of evaporation and condensation to classified by grade and examples of questionnaires. For this purpose, 1606 students from 3rd grade to 6th grade were involved. They had conceptions of evaporation and condensation questionnaire. The results of this study were as the following: Firstly, students have to know about the basic conceptions to understand conceptions of evaporation and condensation. Secondly, it would appear that these ideas can sometimes be influenced in unintended ways and be not easily changed by science teaching. Thirdly, it would appear that they understood conceptions of evaporation better than that of condensation.

This paper asserts to teach engineering writing while teaching cornerstone design as well as addresses its background of the assertion. Cornerstone design course in which students study what is engineering design and what is the design process by team activities provides suitable circumstance for them to learn technical writing for solving communication problems and to produce some language artifacts. Studying the process-based writing and making use of the written artifacts in the course of engineering design process boosts design thinking for developing creative design concepts and mediates problem solving communications among design stakeholder.

This study examined the effects of free writing in writing class targeted for engineering students on their writing skills. To assess the effects, we have asked 100 engineering students from writing class to write free writing, classifying them as the test group(N=50) and the control group(N=50). We have also compared their learning effect, their writing ability, and learning satisfaction via pre and post intervention surveys. The results showed higher change in learning effect, interest in writing, learning attitude, writing ability, learning satisfaction in the test group compared to the control group. This positive change proves that free writing is a significant teaching method in writing class for engineering and science students.
