박새는 도시생태계 내 환경변화를 측정할 수 있는 생물지표종이자 대표적인 식충성 조류로 건전성 유지와 같은 중요한 역할을 맡고 있다. 연구자들은 박새과 조류의 번식생태 파악을 위해 인공새집 조사방법을 활용하고 있으나, 공간적･시간적 한계로 거시적 관점의 연구를 진행하기에는 어려움이 있다. 본 연구는 전문가 중심으로 수행된 기존 인공새집 모니터링이 갖는 한계를 벗어나고자 시민참여 인공새집 모니터링 프로젝트를 설계하였다. ‘수원시 앞마당 조류 모니터링단’은 시민조사원 들의 자발적인 참여를 통해 경기도 수원시 내 녹지공간에 인공새집을 설치하고 박새과 조류의 번식생태를 관찰하는 프로젝트이 다. 2021년 2월 9일부터 2월 22일까지 온라인 설문조사를 통해 참가자를 모집하였고, 시민조사원은 2021년 2월 23일부터 8월 31일까지 인공새집 설치부터 관찰까지 직접 수행하였다. 비전문가인 시민조사원들의 진입장벽을 낮추고 일관된 데이터를 수집하기 위해 모니터링 과정 전반에 대한 온라인 교육을 수행하였고 모바일 애플리케이션을 이용하여 인공새집 관찰기록을 수집하였다. 시민참여 인공새집 모니터링 프로젝트에는 98명의 시민조사원이 참여하였고 배포된 206개의 인공새집 중 175(84.95%)개가 수원시 내 녹지공간에 설치되었다. 설치된 인공새집 중 위치 좌표 생성 오류가 발생한 2건을 제외한 173(83.98%)개를 대상으로 시민과학 프로젝트 결과를 확인했다. 시민조사원으로부터 수집한 인공새집 관찰기록은 총 987회 이며, 최솟값은 1회, 최댓값은 26회, 평균은 5.71±4.37회로 나타났다. 월별 인공새집 관찰 횟수는 2월 70회(7.09%), 3월 444회(44.98%), 4월 284회(28.77%), 5월 133회(13.48%), 6월 46회(4.66%), 7월 6회(0.61%), 8월 4회(0.41%)로 조사되었 다. 설치된 173개의 인공새집 중 57개(32.95%)에서 조류의 이용을 관찰할 수 있었고 박새 12개소(21.05%), 곤줄박이 7개소 (12.28%), 미동정 조류 38개소(66.67%)로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 박새과 조류의 번식생태를 조사방법으로 활용되는 인공새집 모니터링에 시민의 참여 가능성을 처음으로 검토한 연구로 향후 시민과학을 접목한 생태모니터링 설계의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

As the era of Covid-19 provoked the demand for online learning environments, research on the use of IT technologies in the teaching of Chinese is also drawing attention. This paper presents an overview of studies on mobile applications for learning Chinese in Korea, China, and the U.S.. This study aims to identify the current status of research on mobile applications for learning Chinese in Korea, and suggests directions for further research. In the review, a total of 135 studies were closely examined based on the year of publication, the subject, the method, and the research topic. After this, the features and overall flow of research in each country was identified. The necessity of revitalizing related research in Korea was highlighted. To this end, this study recommends actively conducting research, specifying the characteristics of the research subject, and extending the general process in studies of mobile applications for learning Chinese. This study expects Chinese education research on using various technologies to be further discussed.

The long-term development of a mobile gaming application (app) depends on its continued use by its users. The aim of this study is to investigate the determinants of a mobile gaming app’s continuance intention among users. The expectation-confirmation model of IS continuance was used as the basic framework, to which bi-dimensional consumption emotions were added to help better explain satisfaction judgment and continuance intention in the context of mobile gaming app use. To test the expanded IS continuance model, we conducted an online survey among mobile gaming app users; 271 valid responses were collected. The data were analyzed using structural equation models (SEM). The effects of positive emotions (PE) and negative emotions (NE) were examined, respectively, in model 1 and model 2. Competing models (models 3, 4 and 5) were also examined in order to compare the proposed models. Both positive and negative emotions have a significant effect on the satisfaction of mobile gaming app users and their continued usage intention, a finding that represents an important contribution to the extension of technology continuance theory. Comparison with the IS continuance model shows that the new model can explain significantly more variance in continuance intention. This study presents two extensions to the expectation-confirmation model of IS continuance. First, this paper presents and tests a theoretical model, derived from the IS continuance model, in which emotions play an important role in measuring customer satisfaction and subsequent long-term behavioral intention. The proposed model can be used to predict the satisfaction and continuance intention of situations in which a consumer’s emotional expectations and reactions are a core part of the consumption experience. Second, we ground the expectation-confirmation model of IS continuance in the context of mobile gaming apps, which involves both utilitarian (cognitive) and hedonic (affective) components. This study offers insight into the role of emotions in forming continuance intentions toward mobile gaming app use in China, a topic that has not previously been investigated. The findings have important implications for practice in the mobile gaming app sector. Special attention should be given to users’ consumption emotions, since emotions have been found to be strongly related to satisfaction and subsequent continued usage intention. For instance, mobile games firms should make efforts to develop strategies to enhance game players’ positive emotions (such as feeling joyful, interested, cheerful, excited, active, attentive) during the games because game players’ emotional fulfillment leads to satisfaction and minimizes negative emotions (such as feeling distressed, ashamed, afraid, nervous, upset or lonely); such negative emotions have been shown to have a direct and strong effect on satisfaction as well as an indirect effect continuance intention via satisfaction.

According to the generalization of mobile device use in our life, the complexity and diversity of mobile applications are increased, and thus the importance of application test to find faults and errors quickly and easily before release grows. This paper reviews the current automatic testing methodologies for mobile device applications and their element technologies. Also, well-known commercial tools for automatic testing are surveyed and case studies of their recent industry applications in domestic and foreign countries are performed.

The objective of this study is to provide mobile application developers with a standard testing system and service method. By using this testing service, the developers can test the functional performance and quality of their applications from remote sites through Internet. This service standard helps to test applications quickly, easily, and cheaply through the intuitional scenario graphical environment, and becomes a base for constructing a testing system which can be shared by developers, users, and the third parties.

PURPOSES : Lately, a traffic information market has been developed with a rapid speed owing to information and communications. In this situation, a study on the use intention and the satisfaction of mobile transportation information applications of users will be diverse implications and a strategic foundation to local governments and transportation information related enterprises that should provide satisfactory info as public goods to much more users. METHODS : Going along with the flow, this study establishes features of the mobile transportation information applications aiming to the users and analyzes empirical causality for effects of the use intension and the satisfaction. Through this study's analysis, targeting users having experienced transportation information applications among smart phone users, a survey was conducted and characteristics of the transportation information applications were lighted and the effects of the use intention and the satisfaction were analyzed using a technology acceptance model. RESULTS : The analysis result was that Accuracy, Riskiness, Ubiquity and Interactivity as all attributes of transportation information applications have a significant effect on Perceived usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use respectively. The Perceived usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use have affected significantly users' satisfaction respectively, so consequentially this shows effect relationship leading to reuse intention. CONCLUSIONS : The Perceived usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use all for the transportation information applications were shown to influence significantly on the satisfaction. With this kind of result, if users obtain positive outcomes such as travel time reduction or effective roles on their tasks through the transportation information applications, they feel the satisfaction for using and eventually these affect positively to the reuse intention of those transportation information applications.

본 연구에서는 수학 모바일 애플리케이션을 활용한 연산학습이 수학 학습부진아의 연산 유창성과 수학 학습동기에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 수학 유창성이란 수학적 질문에 빠르고 정확하게 대답하는 학생의 능력을 말한다. 초등학교 4학년에 재학 중인 수학 학습부진아동 24명을 대상으로 실험집단에는 수학 모바일 애플리케이션을 활용한 연산학습을, 비교집단에는 연산학습지를 활용한 연산학습을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 수학 모바일 애플리케이션을 활용한 연산학습은 수학 학습부진아의 연산유창성 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 수학 유창성 면에서 수학 모바일 애플리케이션을 활용한 연산학습은 학습지를 활용한 연산학습보다 수학 유창성 향상에 더 효과적이었다. 또한 수학 모바일 애플리케이션을 활용한 연산학습은 수학 학습부진아의 수학 학습동기에도 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
