As the distribution rate of a smart phone which can actualize even augmented reality is getting higher, the application scope of a smart phone is sharply increasing. However, in spite of various functions of it, there is still lack of learning app. Mobile equipments can bring no spatial-temporal restriction of learning to a learner, but they can tempt a learner into inappropriate spaces. In this sense, learning app is necessarily needed to motivate and keep learner's inner desire. This thesis suggested considerations when learning mobile app is designed by analyzing motivation strategy of ARCS Theory and UI of web based contents. Also, a design method of mobile learning app was suggested based on a procedural model of mobile learning app adapting ARCS Theory.

This study examined the effects of the ARCS model for science education and found a way of improving ARCS while finding any weaknesses. More specific research questions were as follows: 1) Does the ARCS model enhance the learners' achivement in highschool Earth Science significantly?; 2) Does the ARCS model enhance the learners' motivation in highschool Earth Science significantly?; 3) What are the weaknesses of the prescriptions of the ARCS model for designing a lesson, if any?; 4) How can the weaknesses of the prescriptions of the ARCS modeI be overcome? In order to fulfill the purpose of this study, the two major research methodologies were implemented: pretest-posttest control group design and formarive research. This study was conducted in two distinct phases: 1) designing a set of instructions for 4 weeks with the principles of the ARCS model (to find the weaknesses of the ARCS model) and 2) teaching the instructions and checking the effectiveness of the ARCS model by pretest and posttest with control and experimental groups(to find weaknesses of the underlying theory of the ARCS). After the experiment, each group took an achievement test and an attitude test on the given instruction and gathered data were analyzed with t-tests. Also, from each four classes 7$\sim$8 students were randomly sampled and individually interviewed about the instructional effectiveness and their preference on the instructions. The results of this study are summarized as follows: Significant differences between the control group and experimental group are seen in three components; Attention, relevance, and satisfaction. No significant differences are seen in the attitude of confidence. The weakness of the prescriptions of the ARCS model, are insufficient of strategy for 'confidence'. For overcoming the weaknesses of the prescriptions of the ARCS model, developmental type research is needed.

The purpose of this study is to develop and make applications of the teaching materials that are based on the ARCS motivation model for experiments in chemistry. In order to achieve this goal, we researched on the needs of professors, learners, and teacher-assistants and analyzed the contents of the subject. Then we designed and developed teaching materials utilizing the ARCS theory, and made the applications and analyzed their effects. As a result, we found out that the applications of the newly developed teaching materials positively affected the understanding, interest, and concentration of the experiments, and helped the students comprehend various theories better through experiments. The new teaching materials shortened the duration of experiments and reduced the margin of error. They were also helpful preventing accidents and gave students clear ideas about experiments.

This paper presents a new curvature based kinematic displacement theory and a numerical method to calculate the planar displacement of structures from a geometrical viewpoint. The theory provides an opportunity to satisfy the kinematic equilibrium of a planar structure using a progressive numerical approach, in which the cross sections are assumed to remain plane, and the deflection curve was evaluated geometrically using the curvature values despite being solved using differential equations. The deflection curve is parameterized with the arc-length, and was taken as an assembly of the chains of circular arcs. Fast and accurate solutions of most complex deflections can be obtained with few inputs.
