ABSTRACT
Techniques in Molecular Biology is an essential course designed for postgraduates majoring in medicine,biology and other related disciplines.We discussed here the significance of redesigning and the practical attempt,which specifically was the flip classroom model of research-based experimental course dominated by postgraduates.In this teaching model,according to the procedure of research work,postgraduates studied the experiment principle,read kit manual and selected controls before class.In the class,students in groups performed experiments and analyzed the experimental results.The teacher led students' technical operation to achieve the teaching targets and emphasized the evaluation for students' abilities of experimental design and results analysis.Online platform was maintained even after the course in order to achieve long-term academic communication.
ABSTRACT
For the purpose of developing 'Web-Based Nutritional Education Program', this study did instructional analysis, analysis of entry behaviors and learner characteristics to select instructional contents for nutritional education program for junior/senior high school students. Survey questionnaires were distributed from October 21, 2002 to October 26, 2002 to a total of 564 junior/senior high school students in Seoul. The total number of questionnaires collected and used in our study was 479, which is 84.9% of the total questionnaires distributed. As a result of the curriculum analysis of 'Techonolgy-Home economics', subjects related with 'food and nutrition' in the 7th educational course study result, lessons including the contents of food and nutrition were 'nutrition and meal of adolescent' in 7th grade, 'family meal management' in 9th grade and 'practice of home life' in 10th grade. According to the curriculum analysis, 'nutrition' and 'food' were chosen for the superior subjects of nutrition education program and four subordinate subjects per superior one were developed. Then, entry behaviors and learner characteristics were analyzed: life characteristics, internet usage, anthropometrics data and nutritional knowledge. Students were interested in using computer and preferred passive activity to dynamic activity. According to the analysis of internet usage, WBI for students should composed active parts such as game, moving image, immediate reply and follow-up by e-mail, bulletin board and community activity. Students' BMI were in normal range but they were lacked nutritional knowledge. We wrote performance objectives that were specific behavior skills to be learned, the conditions under which they must be performed and the criteria for successful performance. The next step for developing the WBI nutrition education program would be based on the results mentioned above.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Web-based nutrition education program for junior and senior high school students. Three materials, which were printed materials on Group I, WBI (Web-Based Instruction) leaflet on Group II and the web-based nutrition education program developed in the antecedent research, were applied for 564 students in 3 junior high school and 4 senior high school in Seoul during 4 weeks. Pre-test was done from October 21 to October 26, 2002 and post-test was done from November 25 to December 13, 2002. The statistical data analysis was completed using SPSS WIN (ver. 11.0) for descriptive analysis, t-test and ANOVA. According to the evaluation of effectiveness for web-based nutrition education program, nutrition knowledge, food attitude, food habit and nutrient intake were not significantly improved but positively. And on the evaluation of effectiveness for nutrition education program by materials, WBI was more effective educational materials than WBI leaflet and printed materials. Consequently nutrition knowledge, food attitude, food habit and nutrient intake were improved positively but not significantly using WBI, which was due to the instructional period of the only 4 weeks. Therefore long-term instruction should be required for effective nutrition program, as well as more WBI nutrition education program for high school students would need to be developed in the near future in that WBI was effective material on nutrition education.

PURPOSE: Problem Based Learning (PBL) has been considered the innovative instructional methodology for medical education. Applying PBL to real life medical education has several difficulties, such as providing learning materials with enough depth and breadth, a shortage of space for small collaborative learning, and a shortage of PBL instructors. METHODS: The proposed system takes advantage of web-based education and structured contents development. In particular, for structured contents development, we introduce the concept of 'module', the independent and object-oriented contents unit, which can be easily reused and interchanged among the different course developments. RESULTS: Through modularized course development, lecturers are able to reduce their efforts and expenses for new curriculum development. This would be done by combining courses or developing interdisciplinary courses by reusing the existing learning modules. It supports the learner-centered, and small collaborative learning, which are main strategies of PBL by providing the functions of the various interaction facility production (BBS, discussion site, etc) in cyber space. CONCLUSION: This system provides the detailed categories for modules as a basic, learning guide, prerequisite/supplementary/elaborated learning, regular learning, experiment/practice/training, and evaluation not to lose one's bearings.

The Purpose of this study was to obtain data needed for nursing informatics education through analysis of experiences about application of WBI Nursing Informatics Education Program for Graduate Students which was developed by software engineering and nursing educators. This study was conducted on WBI Graduate Nursing Informatics Education Program which was developed for nursing informatics course, dept. of nursing, C university. The WBI Graduate Nursing Informatics Education Program was developed and operated after taking consideration into the level of computer skills and needs about 3 credits nursing informatics course of 28 graduate nursing students. It was identified that most of graduate nursing students were satisfied with WBI Nursing Informatics Education Program, especially system features of this program that were consisted of system approach and interface design. In conclusion, it is considered that CAUNMCC-WBI System is useful teaching-learning program for graduate nursing informatics course. And also it is suggested that this WBI graduate nursing informatics course provided by interdisciplinary faculties could be a alternative for graduate nursing informatics education.

PURPOSE: OSCE, a performance assessment method using simulator and multimedia standardized patients can evaluate the student's clinical skills more effectively. It, however, lacks specific assessment criteria and methods for each station which OSCE consists of. Thus, in this research, we propose a web-based PBL (Problem Based Learning) performance assessment model which consists of the assessment criteria (Rubric) and the process for each OSCE station. METHODS: In our model, setting the assessment criteria (Rubric) makes the goal of problem- based learning clearer and the assessment procedure more objective by giving the concrete assessment measure. We decompose the PBL-based OSCE into five procedures: problem understanding, hypothesis clarification, the clarification of interaction role, the decision of performance assessment types, performance assessment testing. RESULTS: The web-based model was developed consisting of five corresponding areas: problem setting, assessment criteria (Rubric), community, performance assessment types (automatic production, template production), the performance assessment testing. CONCLUSIONS: A proposed web-based PBL model will provide the concrete guidelines for clinical skill and attitude learning by giving more objective and clarified assessment criteria and by increasing the quality of assesment through the continuous development of assessment criteria.

For the purpose of developing 'Web-Based Nutritional Education Program', this study analyzed nutritional problems of junior/senior high school students and set appropriate instructional goals for nutritional education program. Survey questionnaires were distributed from October 21,2002 to October 26, 2002 to a total of 564 students at three junior high schools and five senior high schools located in Seoul. The total number of questionnaires collected and used in our study was 479, which is 84.9% of the total questionnaires distributed. According to the survey results, three student groups (male and female students at junior high schools and female students at senior high schools) had lower than an ideal body weight. In case of their Basal Metabolic Indices (BMI), the female students and junior high school students showed a tendency to be underweight, while the other three student groups were within the normal range. The result of the survey showed that all four groups of students showed a deficiency in nutrient intake of calories, calcium and thiamin when compared with Korean RDA. Particularly, in the case of the female students at senior high schools, the deficiency of iron intake was a problem. The survey about food attitudes and food habits of the students showed that the senior high school students had more problems when compared with their junior high school counterparts (p < .001). Therefore, the instructional goals of nutritional education program were set as follows: 1) To improve the level of understanding and the perception of junior and senior high school students about the importance of a dietary lifestyle. 2) To change food attitudes and nutritional knowledge related to individual dietary 1ifestyle, so as to maintain good health through the enhancement of the students' physical activities. We found out that it is critically important to factor in the existing problems of food attitudes and food habits, as well as nutrient intake among junior and senor high school students when setting objectives for nutritional education programs.

Health and Welfare Training Center of Korean National Institute of Health (KNIH) has developed various education curricula for the officials who involved in the public health or welfare sectors. Still almost all education programs are off-line based. In off-line settings, both the lecturers and the students should come to KNIH from their counties to join the education programs, and it is impossible for the students to review or to re-practice the education contents. From September to October, 2000, we conducted a basic survey to evaluate the information infrastructure, internet use and attitude to the cyber education. The 183 institutions and 548 public health officials answered our questionnaire. The informationa infrastructure of each institution was not satisfactory for distance education via world wide web. The proportion of e-mail user was only about 62% of the answered subjects. But cyber- education was highly needed in both institutions and the surveyed officials. They answered that they would actively participate in the cyber-education(97%). The officials expected that the online education would be effective to acquire information, to increase the chance for participation and to reduce the education cost. The expected barriers of the cyber-education were the overload when they should undergo simultaneously education and working, lack of proper infrastructure, disinterest of their low capability of internet use.

We developed a prototype of web-based instruction(WBI) program to provide more convenient and more effective service to the public health officials. This web-based instruction program had specific objectives on vaccination for the public health officials who were working for national immunization program. This course had 21 chapters composed of hypertext or voice-based instruction. Using the WBI courseware of Korean Officials Trainging Institution(KOTI), 32 public health official volunteers joined this prototype 2 week program in April 2001. A Auestionnaire survey for evaluation of subjective satisfaction and related factors, cyber-education behavior, and internet using behavior was performed in April, 2001. Among the answered 29 subjects, 24 were female(82.8%). Mean age was 36.6% 6.16. 79.3% of the 29 subjects connected internet in their office. The highest frequent study duration was < 1 hr(51.7%) per connection. They represented relatively high subjective satisfaction in education form(78.6%), and contents(85.7%). But 62.3% of these subjects answered the subjective relative effectiveness score(which was as 100 in case of classical lecture form) was lower than 100. The place to connect internet was only statistically significant factor between these two groups in bivariable analysis. But we could not found any significant factors in multivariate analysis. 89.7% of the subjects answered they would like to participate any more WBI courses serviced by Korean National Health Institute. This study had restriction of small sample size.
