This paper begins with a critique that researches of geography education in Korea have not reflected the ideological debates in education and geography. The purpose of this paper is to figure implications for socially-critical geography education being studied in England as openly-ideological approach. First, ideological viewpoints of geography education was categorized through analysis of ideology in education and geography. Especially, a limit of conservative and liberal approach is indicated, socially-critical viewpoint is intrinsically justified as alternative logic. Socially-critical theorizing can change teacher's role as an agent of curriculum change and their conduct knowledge as well as geography curriculum. Second, (social) concern-oriented geography education to be more concerned to 'the social' can be realized through the third space approach and committed geography education as critical pedagogy. And, critical literacy is needed to teachers and students for practice of socially-critical geography education.

This research discusses the necessity for change in the domestic digital cultural heritage education. In following, this research analyzes definition and categories of digital cultural heritage education alongside with several case studies of global institutions and their characteristics. Throughout the analysis, this research suggests a direction of domestic digital cultural heriage which has limitations. Currently domestic use of digital cultural heritage education is currently limited to applying digital technology. Analysing literature review and case studies, this research found that digital cultural heritage education can make learners be mature in perspective of historical thinking and digital literacy simultaneously. In other words, digital cultural heritage education should not aim at pursuing education via digital platform simply, but rather fundamental cultural heritage education based on understanding of digital technology and future trend of education such as informal learning. Throughout the analysis of current cases and suggestion for future direction, the research aims at being a fundamental study of digital cultural heritage.

This study examines motivations for international students to study abroad at Korean universities. Employing qualitative and mixed methods, this study used grounded theory to analyse data obtained from student interviews, essays, digital storytelling videos, and student video representations to explicate the nature of study of six subjects. All subjects were enrolled in English Education courses during years 2014-2017. The researcher was the course instructor. Results from this study revealed that major codes that emerged from data analyses were those of economics, culture, language study, and personal development, corroborating with findings of most research literature regarding international students' motivations (OUSO, 2015). However, survey of professional literature and study data showed that motivational codes presented in the literature and this study, were discursive in nature in that each code was not only connected to all other codes, but also mutually co-constructive. As such, this study suggests that motivational codes found in study abroad literature were discursive in nature, resembling Bourdieu's (1991) theory of economic, social, and cultural capitals. Results of this study suggest that various motivations for studying abroad are subsumed under economic logic of expense and career development.

The concept of library is newly interpreted and designed under the environment of U-City. The basic notion of the library should not changed its kernel nevertheless, the new technologies like ubiquitous computing services are applied to the library, which functions in terms of information services, continuous learning programs and communities of practice(CoP). The library is fit for any technologies or environments as organism. Actually the library has been shown in terms of new information technologies with the changes of the times. It leads to comprehend the library as its appearance not as it is. The libraries including even cities have evolved toward ubiquitous(computing) environment.

Curriculum is essential for primary and secondary education. The development of the 2022 revised curriculum, which is Korea's national level curriculum has been completed. Nevertheless, the library and information life, which are curriculums for information literacy instruction remain in the structure of the 2009 curriculum. In this study, I analyze the structure and contents of the curriculum for information utilization education in Pennsylvania, USA, identify trends in information literacy instruction, and present the direction of revision of library and information life. The Pennsylvania curriculum for information literacy instruction has an overall structure consisting of long-term transfer goals, big ideas(inquire, include, collaborate, curate, explore, engage), concepts, competencies, and essential questions. In addition, there is a detailed structure consisting of stage l(desired results), stage 2(assessment evidence of learning) and stage (learning plan).

This paper involves the constitutionality of the restrictive by-laws established by the 'College of Maritime Science' at the 'Korea Maritime and Ocean University' when they affect the cadet's fundamental rights, particularly, in connection with the training system of the 'Merchant Cadet Dormitory.' The issue in question is whether the school regulations may fall within a judicially permissible boundary in light of the general principles of constitutional rights in that the rules are enacted by the school itself in accordance with the Article 31, Section 4 of the Constitution and largely regulate the cadets' living conditions on a campus. However, the general scrutiny standard the courts apply requires the school enactments to pass three tests to be justified: (1) legislative authorization, (2) proportionality and (3) non-infringement on the essential elements of the fundamental rights as articulated under Article 37, Section 2 of the Constitution. The review in this paper shows that, first, the by-laws at issue find themselves statutorily authorized by the 'Higher Education Act' and the 'Decree of the Establishment of National Schools', with the proportionality as a second part observed within a justifiable scope and the essential elements of the fundamental rights as the third point not being marred. In conclusion, the school's dormitory training system is not found to cross the line and, however, the school authorities still need to keep overseeing the overall training course to secure the constitutional proportionality.

This study was designed to gain insights into contemporary secondary mathematics curriculum revision in Korea. The two secondary mathematics curriculum reports submitted in the 1920s, the Kilpatrick Reports and 1923 Reports were compared and contrasted as the origin of recent math wars, and their backgrounds, committee members, viewpoints of math and math education and contents were analyzed to understand the perspectives of the two extreeme parts. Kilpatrick Reports was selected at that time, but nevertheless 1923 Report had taken a role of guiding secondary mathematics in US until the New Math era. The direction and process of mathematics curriculum revision were suggested based on the analysis of reports' short- and long-term influences. A close examination of the curriculum revision process in US and in Korea and the implications from the results are also included in the suggestion.

The relevance of secondary school algebra focused on paper and pencil manipulation has been reconsidered along with the expansion of universal education and the development of ICT such as computer or calculators. This study was designed to investigate the issues and trends of the recent algebra so as to provide implementations for algebra curriculum in Korea. The focus of algebra education has being shifted from paper pencil manipulation to algebraic thinking. The early algebra or informal algebra is one of the important traits of revolution, and the role of ICT is integrated in newly developed curricula. In Korea, algebra education has been retaining the traditional line even though the national curriculum documents allows ICT for instruction. The reasons of these discrepancies were analyzed and the tasks for the new curriculum in accordance with the current trends were suggested in this paper.
