We have examined the modified Moore methods that were applied to college mathematics courses in several researches. We introduce, compare and analyze the concrete teaching methods that the researchers conducted in various modified Moore methods, and propose the appropriate form of modified Moore method most suitable for the present situations of the mathematics and related departments in Korea.

In this paper, we introduce a modified Moore Method designed for the multivariable calculus course, and discuss about the effective teaching and learning method by observing the changes in the understanding of students' learning and the effects on students' learning in the class implemented by this modified Moore Method. This teaching experiment research was conducted with the 15 students who took the multivariable calculus course offered as a 3 week summer session in 2008 at H University. To guide the students' active preparation, stepwise course materials structured in the form of questions on the important mathematical notions were provided to the students in advance. We observed the process of the students' small-group collaborative learning activities and their presentations in the class, and analysed the students' class journals collected at the end of every lecture and the survey carried out at the end of the course. The analysis of these results show that the students have come to recognize that a deeper understanding of the subjects are possible through their active process of search and discovery, and the discussion among the peers and teaching each other allowed a variety of learning experiences and reflective thinking.

R. L. Moore's discovery methods are known to have been very effective with certain classes of students. However when the method was attempted by others at the undergraduate level, the results sometimes were disappointing. In this article we study the history of developing modified Moore methods with small group discovery method for the purpose of undergraduate education, and then we discuss some educational point of view in our universities.

In this paper, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the strong convergence of a modified Mann iteration process to a fixed point of an asymptotically demicontractive mapping in real Banach spaces are considered. Presented results improve and extend the results of Igbokwe [3], Liu [4], Moore and Nnoli [6] and Osilike [7].

Toxoplasma gondii (Tp), RH strain, was inoculated into cultured buffy coat cells obtained from the swine blood. The main reason for adopting swine lies in the animal's unusual susceptibility to Tp, As for the culture method used in the experiment, those well proved methods practised by Cho, Merchant, Moore and Tarnvik were mainly referred to as a starting point: hence, the author's method has been turned out to be the modified or supplementary form of those methods. Observations were made on the phase of multiplication of Tp in the cytoplasm. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Better growth and multiplication of Toxoplasma gondii were noticeably observed in the swine buffy coat cell, inoculated after three-to-five day cultivation of the cell. 2. In the lapse of the observation period, there appeard Toxoplasma gondii rarely available in the earlier stage, which had been inoculated into the cell after three-to-five day cultivation. In other words, Toxoplasma gondii started to show itself in seven or eight hours after inoculation, most outstandingly noticeable between twenty four hours and forty eight hours. Thereafter the disintegration stage of Toxoplasma gondii was observed.
