Reconstructing Korean Language Curriculum based on a Backward Design - Focusing on the design of the International Baccalaureate unit -

In this study, I proposed a plan to reconstruct the Korean language curriculum based on the IB''s unit design in order to realize the competency-based curriculum at the teacher level and to encourage active teacher-level reconstruction of Korean language curriculum. IB''s unit design encourage active teacher-level reconstruction of curriculum by respecting teachers'' autonomy and professionalism. It also has the advantage of systematically connecting objectives and assessments and optimizing learning content based on a backward design model. Therefore, this study developed capacity-based curriculum reorganization plan at the teacher level using the IB''s unit design and applied it to the 2015 curriculum. This has the following advantages. First, capacity-based curriculum at the teacher level can be realized by having the criteria reconstructed based on competency. Second, teacher-level curriculum reconstruction is activated by providing a systematic curriculum reorganization framework. Third, unit design based on the backward design ensures optimal learning content and consistency of objectives and assessments.

Influence of Teachers' Learning Organization on Teacher Efficacy

이 연구의 목적은 교사의 학습조직에 대한 인식이 교사효능감에 미치는 영향을 분석하여, 교사의 효능감을 증진시킬 수 있는 학습조직의 특성에 대한 시사점을 제공하는 것이다. 분석을 위해 경기교육종단연구(GEPS)의 3차년도(2014년) 초등학교 자료를 활용하였으며, 위계적 회귀분석을 사용하였다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 학습조직의 하위영역 중 비공식적 학습문화, 지식공유 시스템, 시스템 연계는 교수학습 효능감에, 시스템 연계는 생활지도 효능감에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 교사의 학습조직에 대한 인식은 교사효능감의 하위요인 중 주로 교수학습 효능감에 영향을 주고 있었다. 셋째, 교사의 사회인구학적 변인 중 최종학력은 교수학습 효능감에, 교직경력은 생활지도 효능감에 영향을 주고 있었다. 넷째, 학교의 조직변인 중 교사의 사기·열의는 교수학습 효능감과 생활지도 효능감에 모두 영향을 주고 있었다. 이러한 분석결과는 학교안의 학습문화 확산과 지식공유 시스템의 발전을 위한 노력과 지원이 필요하고, 저경력 교사의 생활지도 효능감을 제고하기 위한 방안이 필요하며, 학교의 교육과정 운영에 있어 지역사회 및 학부모와의 연계를 강화해야 한다는 시사점을 제공한다.The purpose of this study is to analyse the effect of teacher s perception of learning organization on teacher efficacy. For the analysis, the data of elementary school in the 3rd year (2014) of the Gyeonggi Education Panel Study(GEPS) were utilized and hierarchical regression analysis was used. The analysis results showed that the informal learning culture, knowledge sharing system and system linkage among the lower areas of the learning organization have positive effects on teaching learning efficacy, and the system linkage has positive effects on living map efficacy. Second, the teacher s perception of the learning organization was mainly affecting the teaching efficacy among the subcomponents of teaching efficacy. Third, among the social and demographic changes of teachers, the final education was affecting the teaching and teaching experience was affecting the teaching and teaching efficacy. Fourth, the morale and enthusiasm of the teachers of the school s organizational staff were affecting both the effectiveness of teaching and the effectiveness of living guidance. These analyses suggest that support for the spread of learning culture and the development of knowledge-sharing systems in schools are needed. Also, measures are needed to enhance the effectiveness of low-career teachers, and that links with local communities and parents should be strengthened in the operation of the school s curriculum.
Electronification Design Of Bill Payment Transactions Using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) At Bank ABC

Nowadays the growth of the digital economy is growing rapidly.Almost all payment transactions already use technology, especially in the banking industry.One of the activities of financial transactions in banks is electronification of bill payment transactions and this has become a matter of special concern such as school / university bill payment transactions, tax bill payment transactions, drinking water company bill payment transactions, etc.To accelerate the process of integrating bill payment transactions into all payment provider companies online, of course must use the right concept so that the system can be more effective and efficient, namely using the concept of service oriented architecture (SOA) by using the enterprise service bus (ESB).ESB is used in order to integrate the banking system with the bill payment transaction billing system.In this research the Service Oriented Modeling and Architecture (SOMA) methodology will be applied as a guide in implementing SOA-based solutions.SOA was chosen because it has the nature of interoperability so that it can be relied upon in developing online bill payment transaction systems between bank systems and other systems despite having different system platforms.

Reliable and Energy-aware Mapping of Streaming Series-parallel Applications onto Hierarchical Platforms

Streaming applications come from various application fields such as physics, and many can be represented as a series-parallel dependence graph. We aim at minimizing the energy consumption of such applications when executed on a hierarchical platform, by proposing novel mapping strategies. Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is used to reduce the energy consumption, and we ensure a reliable execution by either executing a task at maximum speed, or by triplicating it. In this paper, we propose a structure rule to partition the series-parallel applications, and we prove that the optimization problem is NP-complete. We are able to derive a dynamic programming algorithm for the special case of linear chains, which provides an interesting heuristic and a building block for designing heuristics for the general case. The heuristics performance is compared to a baseline solution, where each task is executed at maximum speed. Simulations demonstrate that significant energy savings can be obtained.
Blockchain Study and Analysis with a View to Optimizing Security on the Aspects of Land Registry

Land, according to most governments, is an important asset in development.All over the world, it expresses family cohesion to a certain extent, and presents itself as a basis for the development of any human project.Thus, the regulation of its use and occupation is required.In Cameroonian legislation, the land system is using a special book called "land Book".This book represents a document used by a registrar to record users 'land titles, in order to prove the authenticity, availability, and confidentiality of its holder.To date, its land system still suffers from several problems, in particular: the dilapidated state and disappearance of land books, the existence of several geodetic systems, disappearance of leaflet, sale of false land titles, double sales of land titles, and attempts to expropriate a person or a community by the administration or by third parties.Today, most of the cases pending in the courts are land disputes, and since then they have continued to increase due to demographic pressure, and the rate of urbanization in Cameroon.The objective of this paper is to solve these problems by designing a Framework via a particular type of blockchain approach in order to improve the security and scalability of the land register in Cameroon.

Automated server-side model for recognition of security vulnerabilities in scripting languages

With the increase of global accessibility of web applications, maintaining a reasonable security level for both user data and server resources has become an extremely challenging issue. Therefore, static code analysis systems can help web developers to reduce time and cost. In this paper, a new static analysis model is proposed. This model is designed to discover the security problems in scripting languages. The proposed model is implemented in a prototype SCAT, which is a static code analysis Tool. SCAT applies the phases of the proposed model to catch security vulnerabilities in PHP 5.3. Empirical results attest that the proposed prototype is feasible and is able to contribute to the security of real-world web applications. SCAT managed to detect 94% of security vulnerabilities found in the testing benchmarks; this clearly indicates that the proposed model is able to provide an effective solution to complicated web systems by offering benefits of securing private data for users and maintaining web application stability for web applications providers.

A Track-Before-Detect Approach to Multi-Target Tracking on Automotive Radar Sensor Data

In recent years, Bayes filter methods in the labeled random finite set formulation have become increasingly powerful in the multi-target tracking domain. One of the latest outcomes is the Generalized Labeled Multi-Bernoulli (GLMB) filter which allows for stable cardinality and target state estimation as well as target identification in a unified framework. In contrast to the initial context of the GLMB filter, this paper makes use of it in the Track-Before-Detect (TBD) scheme and thus, avoids information loss due to thresholding and other data preprocessing steps. This paper provides a TBD GLMB filter design under the separable likelihood assumption that can be applied to real world scenarios and data in the automotive radar context. Its applicability to real sensor data is demonstrated in an exemplary scenario. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the GLMB filter is applied to real radar data in a TBD framework for the first time.

Visual Summarization of Lecture Video Segments for Enhanced Navigation.

Lecture videos are an increasingly important learning resource for higher education. However, the challenge of quickly finding the content of interest in a lecture video is an important limitation of this format. This paper introduces visual summarization of lecture video segments to enhance navigation. A lecture video is divided into segments based on the frame-to-frame similarity of content. The user navigates the lecture video content by viewing a single frame visual and textual summary of each segment. The paper presents a novel methodology to generate the visual summary of a lecture video segment by computing similarities between images extracted from the segment and employing a graph-based algorithm to identify the subset of most representative images. The results from this research are integrated into a real-world lecture video management portal called Videopoints. To collect ground truth for evaluation, a survey was conducted where multiple users manually provided visual summaries for 40 lecture video segments. The users also stated whether any images were not selected for the summary because they were similar to other selected images. The graph based algorithm for identifying summary images achieves 78% precision and 72% F1-measure with frequently selected images as the ground truth, and 94% precision and 72% F1-measure with the union of all user selected images as the ground truth. For 98% of algorithm selected visual summary images, at least one user also selected that image for their summary or considered it similar to another image they selected. Over 65% of automatically generated summaries were rated as good or very good by the users on a 4-point scale from poor to very good. Overall, the results establish that the methodology introduced in this paper produces good quality visual summaries that are practically useful for lecture video navigation.

Controlling the Size of Supercompiled Programs using Multi-result Supercompilation

Supercompilation is a powerful program transformation technique with numerous interesting applications. Existing methods of supercompilation, however, are often very unpredictable with respect to the size of the resulting programs. We consider an approach for controlling result size, based on a combination of multi-result supercompilation and a specific generalization strategy, which avoids code duplication. The current early experiments with this method show promising results -- we can keep the size of the result small, while still performing powerful optimizations.

Study of the usability of LinkedIn: a social media platform meant to connect employers and employees

Social network platforms have increased and become very popular in the last decade; they allow people to create an online account to then interact with others creating a complicated net of connections. LinkedIn is one of the most used social media platform, created and used for professional purposes. Here, indeed, the user can either apply for job positions or join professional communities to deepen his own knowledge and expertise and be always up to date in the interested field. The primary objectives of this paper are assessing LinkedIn's usability, by using both user and expert evaluation and giving recommendations for the developer to improve this social network. This has been achieved through different steps; initially, feedbacks have been collected, via questionnaire, from direct users. Later, the usability issues, which have been underlined by users in the questionnaire, have been explored, by simulating user's problem-solving process, through Walkthrough. Finally, the overall usability of LinkedIn application has been measured by using SUS (System Usability Scale).
Curiosity Killed the Cat and the Asymptotically Optimal Agent

Reinforcement learners are agents that learn to pick actions that lead to high reward. Ideally, the value of a reinforcement learner's policy approaches optimality--where the informed policy is the one which maximizes reward. Unfortunately, we show that if an agent is guaranteed to be asymptotically optimal in any (stochastically computable) environment, then subject to an assumption about the true environment, this agent will be either destroyed or incapacitated with probability 1; both of these are forms of traps as understood in the Markov Decision Process literature. Environments with traps pose a well-known problem for agents, but we are unaware of other work which shows that traps are not only a risk, but a certainty, for agents of a certain caliber. Much work in reinforcement learning uses an ergodicity assumption to avoid this problem. Often, doing theoretical research under simplifying assumptions prepares us to provide practical solutions even in the absence of those assumptions, but the ergodicity assumption in reinforcement learning may have led us entirely astray in preparing safe and effective exploration strategies for agents in dangerous environments. Rather than assuming away the problem, we present an agent with the modest guarantee of approaching the performance of a mentor, doing safe exploration instead of reckless exploration.
