General education is changed by accepting the change in education environment to digital generation, emphasis about student-centered education, and change of teacher's role. E-learning has taken center stage as an effective learning environment but the problems are drawn for the absence of interaction that is important in learning. In this study, on the basis of questionnaire results about learning using website, we operated blended-learning where students come and go in cyberspace and physical space to set up the lesson environment for emphasizing interaction. We selected a control group (N=40) and an experimental group (N=40) from second grade students in a middle school for this research. General instructor-led lessons were implemented in the control group and blended-learning lessons to emphasize interaction between teacher and students were implemented in the experimental group. The experiments were applied to eight class-hours in 'characteristics of matter' unit. We implemented Test of Science Related Attitude (TOSRA) to the students before and after the lessons and administered questionnaire for checking attitude changes and perception in students. The results of the test show that the experimental group students were more encouraged and became more confident and curious about scientific learning than the control group students. The analysis of the interview and results of TOSRA show that blended-learning provided guidance and feedback by the teacher to the experimental group students more than the control group students. Blended-learning is suggested as a learning-method that is helpful in improving scientific attitude in students because it enables them to express their experiences without limit of time-space and promote interaction between teacher and students.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the types of latent profiles depending on the job satisfaction of youth entrepreneurs in South Korea and examine the influence of related variables. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted using data from the 12th year of the Youth Panel Study. Results of the study revealed that there were five latent profiles based on job satisfaction among young entrepreneurs: lowest job satisfaction, mid-low job satisfaction, middle job satisfaction, mid-high job satisfaction, and highest job satisfaction. By applying multinomial logistic analysis, the influencing factors for each latent profiles have been derived. Gender, marital status, subjective health, self-esteem, entrepreneurial motivation, difficulty in start-up, person-job fit, intrinsic or extrinsic job values, business scale, income, work hour, education or training, and labor insurance were significant predictors of youth entrepreneurs' job satisfaction. Based on these results, the article discusses practical implications that can enhance the job satisfaction of young entrepreneurs.

This study investigated the effects of the prescribed instructional strategy for reducing students' connecting errors in learning chemistry concepts with multiple external representations by students' field independence-dependence. Seventh graders (N=126) at a coed middle school were assigned to control and treatment groups. The students learned "Boyle's Law" and "Charles's Law" for two class periods. Results revealed that the students in the treatment group scored significantly higher than those in the control group in a conception test. The scores of the treatment group were significantly higher than those of the control group in a motivational learning test, especially in 'attention' of the test. However, there was no significant interaction between the instruction and students' field independence-dependence in the two tests. Most students in the treatment group perceived the instruction positively in cognitive and motivational aspects.

This study investigated the effects of analyzing mapping errors on conceptual understanding, mapping understanding and perceptions of the instructions in learning chemistry concept with analogy. Seventh graders (N=121) at two middle schools were assigned to the comparison and the treatment groups, and were taught about 'states of matter and arrangement of molecules.' The students in the comparison group were taught in the Teaching-With-Analogy (TWA) model, while those in the treatment group Were taught in the instructional model that changed 'mapping similarity' and 'indicating difference' of the TWA model into 'analyzing mapping errors.' Analysis of the results revealed that the scores of the conception test and the mapping test for the treatment group were significantly higher than those far the comparison group regardless of field dependence-independence. It was also found that most students in the two groups positively perceived the instructions with analogy, but the students in the treatment group had difficulties in analyzing mapping errors, Educational implications are discussed.

본 연구의 목적은 알코올 문제의 현황을 파악하고 효과적인 음주교육 방안을 모색하기 위한 것이다. 사회문화적 행위로서의 음주행동의 특징을 파악하고 음주로 인한 위해가 우리에게 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 것이다. 음주행동은 한 사람이 속한 사회의 문화와 관습이 허용하는 범위에 따라 그 사회가 공유하는 음주에 대한 태도나 가치의 영향을 받아 학습을 통해 습득하게 된다. 음주는 사망률, 이환율, 유산율, 범죄율 등에 막대한 영향을 끼치고 있으며 이로 인한 사회적 비용과 생명손실은 엄청난 것이다. 매스미디어를 통한 음주교육은 다른법적 제재와 병행될 때 효과적이다. 음주연령이나 세금부과 등을 통해 음주행위를 통제하는 것이 가능하다. 음주교육의 주기능은 법령과 처벌에 대한 두려움(perceived fear)를 높이는 것이다. 음주행위에 관용적인 사회 분위기를 변화시키는 것이 법령이나 처벌보다 더 효과적이다. 과도한 음주행위에 대한 비판적인 사회적 분위기와 같은 비공식적인 사회적인 제재가 음주문제의 예방에 더욱 중요하다. 청소년의 음주행위는 부모와 동료집단과의 관계에 의해 크게 영향을 받기 때문에 부모와 동료집단의 참여하에 객관적인 태도를 통해 자율적인 결정을 할 수 있도록 유도해야 한다. 음주교육에 대해 지식과 경험을 갖춘 교사가 교육을 실시하여야 하며 소그룹 활동을 통해 음주문제에 대한 이해와 바람직한 태도를 습득하게 하고 동료집단의 압력을 거부할 수 있는 능력을 키우는 것이 필요하다. 교사는 편견이 없는 객관적인 태도를 갖추어야 하고 최종적 결정은 지식에 근거하여 청소년이 하도록 하여야 한다. 음주는 가정불화, 좌절감, 실업, 이혼 둥의 부정적 감정과 연관되어 있으며 깊은 인간관계를 통한 상담이 효과적이다. 단주친목과 같은 자발적인 민간단체는 알코올 문제를 가진 사람들이 서로 모여 친목하는 가운데 도움과 치료를 받을 수 있다는 점에서 매우 효과적이다. 이러한 단체의 활용이 더욱 확대되어야 한다. 병원에서의 음주교육은 노조의 참여하에 전문적인 의료인들에 의해 이루어져야 한다. 이전에 알코올중독에서 회복된 사람을 동료교육가(peer educator)로 활용하는 것도 효율적인 교육방법중의 하나이다. 의과대학의 교과과정에 음주교육에 대한 내용을 더욱 확대하여야 한다. 음주교육은 음주라는 행위의 저변에 깔린 문화적 심리적 요인에 대한 깊은 이해를 토대로 계획되고 실시되어야 한다. 음주교육은 지역사회 전체의 참여를 통해 부모, 학생, 정부, 민간단체, 매스미디어의 공동참여를 통한 다각적인 접근이 요구된다.

Block-based educational programming language(EPL) is commonly used due to its availability at low or no cost. It is also preferred tool of computing education due to its intuitive design, ease-of-use and its effectiveness in increasing algorithmic thinking abilities especially in elementary students. Physical computing is also necessary because it brings students closer to real-world problem solving by connecting the real world with the computing environment. However, due to high-cost and required knowledge in electrical engineering, many schools find the education difficult to access. The study shows significant increase in computational thinking abilities in both groups treated with EPL and additional physical computing education.

Olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus is one of the most target fish for aquaculture and national stock enhancement program in Korea. In order to find more information about hatchery fish stocking for stock enhancement we investigated the sex ratio of wild-caught fish populations which were artificially released into wild seas. The recapture rate was 9.0% to 94.5% in studied areas. The proportion of sex ratio ranged from 7.8% to 64.6% in female and from 34.4% to 92.1% in male respectively. This result suggests that the sex ratio of wild populations might be effected by the released fish. So we need more careful stocking program of the fish to preserve the balance of the sex ratio in the wild population.

This study investigated the effects of cooperative learning environments in conceptual change instruction upon students' conception, achievement, learning motivation, attitude toward science instruction, and perception of involvement. Two classes of 8th graders at a co-ed middle school were assigned to the treatment and the comparison groups. They were taught about density, boiling point, freezing point, and solubility for 11 class hours. The treatment group's learning environment involved cooperative conceptual change instructions while the comparison group's environment incorporated individual conceptual change instructions. Mann-Whitney test results revealed that the scores of the conception and achievement test for the treatment group were significantly higher than those for the comparison group. The perceptions of involvement for the treatment group were more positive than those for the comparison group. The scores of the learning motivation test for the treatment group were found to be significantly higher than those for the comparison group based on a two-way ANCOVA analysis. However, attitudes toward science instruction were not found to be significantly different between the two groups.

This paper attempts to develop STP Strategy of EXPO 2012 Yeosu for attracting tourists. STP in marketing strategy refers to the process of market segmentation, market targeting, and positioning. I tested four demographic variables(age, occupation, nationality, and sex) to segment the market or the visitors of EXPO 2012 Yeosu effectively. The statistical result shows that age, occupation, and nationality are significant. Based on the three demographic factors and the visitor's purpose, I classified the expected visitors of EXPO into 12 groups, and selected 6 targeted groups: a group of Korean students with the purpose of study, a group of Korean professionals with the purpose of business, a group of foreign students with the purpose of study, a group of foreign professionals with the purpose of business, a group of Korean people in general with the purpose of tourism, and a group of foreign people in general with the purpose of tourism. In this paper, I have suggested a differentiated marketing mix for six targeted groups each.
