Information communication technology ultimately pursues ubiquitous environment where people and devices are connected in networks and exchange of information are possible. However there have not been sufficient studies on the technology in spite of higher enthusiasm about education and remarkable educational potentials of ubiquitous technology. In order to effectively utilize the ubiquitous technology, this thesis explored field trip through a constructivism approach and examined ways how to use and integrate ubiquitous technology in developing educational model and system.

The purpose of the study was to develop The Stream Environmental education u-learning contents for elementary school students. For the development of content, the researchers commissioned detailed examination to experts to confirm validity, did a literature review and hosted expert forums. In addition, to enhance accessibility, they asked fairytale writers to develop easier and more valid scenarios and narrations of u-learning contents for elementary school students. The development content is for 18 hours of education and has three sections: i) Preparation, ii) Exploration, and iii) Arrangement. Since the content has been developed based on SCROM, it is expected to have re-usability, accessibility, compatibility and durability. Based on evaluation criteria of u-learning contents suggested in the research methods, the research group commissioned evaluation to ten experts in environmental education of each school level. Recommendations for applying the content developed in this study and further research are as follows: First, the developed content should be actively promoted and provided both online and offline so that elementary school students can fully utilize them. To this end, the website of the Ministry of Environment and u-learning training centers of universities of education should be used. Since content requires interaction not only between learners of the content but also between learners and operators, additional administrative and financial support should be provided. Second, this study focuses on the development of u-learning contents for elementary school students. Further studies are needed to develop content for secondary school students.

With the rapid advance of computer and communication techonology, the recent trend of education environment is edveloping in the ubiquitous learning (u-learning) direction that learners select and organize the contents, time and order of learning by themselves. Since the amount of education information through the internet is increasing rapidly and it is managed in document in an effective way is necessary. The document clustering is integrated documents to subject by classifying a set of documents through their similarity among them. Accordingly, the document clustering can be used in exploring and searching a document and it can increased accuracy of search. This paper proposes an efficient incremental clustering method for a set of documents increase gradually. The incremental document clustering algorithm assigns a set of new documents to the legacy clusters which have been identified in advance. In addition, to improve the correctness of the clustering, removing the stop words can be proposed.

Applying the conventional machine-learning method which has been frequently used in health-care area has several fundamental problems for modern U-health service analysis. First of all, we are still lack of application examples of the traditional method for our modern U-health environment because of its short term history of U-health study. Second, it is difficult to apply the machine-learning method to our U-health service environment which requires real-time management of disease because the method spends a lot of time in the process of learning. Third, we cannot implement a personalized U-health diagnosis system using the conventional method because there is no way to assign weights on the disease-related variables although various kinds of machine-learning schemes have been proposed. In this paper, a novel diagnosis scheme PCADP is proposed to overcome the problems mentioned above. PCADP scheme is a personalized diagnosis method and it makes the bio-data analysis just a 'process' in the U-health service system. In addition, we offer a semantics modeling of the U-health ontology framework in order to describe U-health data and service specifications as meaningful representations based on this PCADP. The PCADP scheme is a kind of statistical diagnosis method which has characteristics of flexible structure, real-time processing, continuous improvement, and easy monitoring of decision process. Upto the best of authors' knowledge, the PCADP scheme and ontology framework proposed in this paper reveals one of the best characteristics of flexible structure, real-time processing, continuous improvement, and easy monitoring among recently developed U-health schemes.

Mentoring is defined as a sustained relationship between a mentor and a mentee. Through continued involvement, the mentor offers support, guidance, and assistance as the mentee faces new challenges, or works to correct earlier problems. A mentoring for cooperative learning has many merits including higher order thinking, collaborative competencies, socialization and development. In this paper, a U(Ubiquitous)-CoMM(Community of mentor & mentee) system was supposed to design an instructional learning strategy using cyber community of mentor & mentee in a ubiquitous environment. The proposed system provides participants with campus mentoring program in which they share their experience and expertise. By experimental result showed that the proposed system is effect in education about cooperative learning than existing system.

In this paper, we present the results of educational innovation case study using U-Learning Box and Ubiquitous-based Test(UBT) system for 6 sample primary schools in Nepal. As Nepal is considered to be a developing country with electricity problem to the school, the U-Learning Box, consisting of a small and easy-to-use tablet PC for teacher and a small smart beam with its own battery was evaluated as the optimum solution to support continuous basic English and hygiene education for these schools. And UBT technology using tablet PC was used to evaluate and analyze basic English learning ability of the students, which helped us realized that it is necessary to improve the educational environment and develop suitable educational contents. We hope that the global educational innovation using U-Learning Box and UBT technology will become a successful model for global equality of educational opportunity project for developing countries including Nepal.

This study introduces the process and results of developing an adaptive math learning program for self-directed learning. It presented the process and results of developing an adaptive math learning program that takes into account the level of learners using artificial intelligence. We wanted to get some suggestions on developing programs for artificial intelligence-based mathematics. The program was developed as Math4U, an application based on smart devices in the "character and expression" area for 7th grade. The Application Math4U may be used differently depending on its purpose. It is also expected to be a useful tool for providing self-directed learning to students as the basis for educational research using smart devices in a changing educational environment.
