This study examined the organization and operation of home economics curriculum of specialized middle school in the form of regular school among alternative schools and analyzed the perceptions of teachers and students about home economics class. Interviews were conducted with teachers of 6 specialized schools in order to determine the operations and teachers' perceptions of home economics education. Students' perceptions for home economics class were gathered through surveys with students from the 3 (of the original 6) schools that authorized the questionnaire survey. The final analysis utilized 205 student responses. Survey data were analyzed using the SPSS program. The results of the research were as follows: First, home economics education within specialized middle schools was mostly conducted according to the form of the technology-home economics curriculum, which is the national common basic curriculum. Compared to the 7th national curriculum, the class of technology-home economics curriculum in 4 schools occurred 1 hour less each week. Each school incorporated various specialized curricula related to home economics. Second, as for the operation of home economics education in specialized schools, most home economics classes were conducted by teachers who had majored (or minored) in home economics. Moreover, all but 1 school, which used self-made materials, used the national textbook and dealt with the entire content of the textbook. For teaching-learning methods and instructional media, various means were utilized. For evaluation methods, most schools based grades on paper-and-pencil tests(50-60%) and performance tests(40-50%). Third, among teachers' perceptions of home economics education, the meaning of home economics education was focused on practical help and the pursuit of home happiness; the purpose was to realize the happiness of students and their homes by applying these to actual living, and increase students' ability to see the world. In regards to difficulties in educational operations, most pointed out poor conditions of practice rooms. As for differences from general schools, most teachers mentioned the active communication with students. Fourth, through the home economics class, it was found that students perceived the goal of technology-home economics curricula as lower than average. Among students' perceptions about home economics class, most were negative. Perceptions about goal of technology-home economics curricula and home economics class also showed meaningful differences according to each school. Students of the school, which had more home economics class hours and specialized curricula related to home economics, perceived more positively. Also, students who were more satisfied with school and learned from a teacher who majored in home economics tended to perceive home economics class more positively.

The purpose of this study is to find some implications for improving diversities of the senior high school system in Korea, by examining those of Australian high school system. Based on the literature review, school diversification can be defined as providing students or their parents with some range of alternative programs from which they can choose a school or program they believe are best suitable for them. In this point, the concept is very similar to that of school choice. The finding of this study can be summarized as follows. First, the programs of within-school diversification at Australian senior secondary schools include subject selecting, extension programs and vocational education and training courses(VET). Second, selective schools, independent schools and specialist schools are the types of between-schools diversity programs in Australia. Third, the characteristic of Australian school diversification was traditionally between-schools diversification, of which the purpose is to provide excellent learning opportunities for some talented students. However, the policy trend has, recently, been extended to within-school diversity programs. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, the policy of high school diversification 300 in Korea can be seen as a suitable one because one of its aims was to overcome some limitations of the school equalization policy. Second, well defined within-school diversity programs should be considered in order to avoid educational disadvantage issues in education that can be inevitably risen from between-school diversification policies. Lastly, the possibilities of implementing VET programs at general high schools should also be urgently considered.

The purpose of this study is to help research and application about effective strategies to improve school adjustment of students by investigating the influence of specialized vocational high school students' emotional intelligence on school adjustment. A survey was conducted to 760 engineering major students at the vocational high schools from 18 vocational high schools of 5 major metroplex. A questionnaire consists of measurement tool for emotional intelligence (40 questions) and one for school adjustment (20 questions). The findings of this study are as follows: First, students with high emotional intelligence showed a higher level of school adjustment than students with lower emotional intelligence, and they also has a higher standard in all sub factors of school adjustment, Second, it is found that the explanatory power of emotional intelligence on school adjustment is 33.6%. It means the higher the emotional intelligence of the students, the higher the school adjustment, so it can be seen that emotional intelligence might be one alternative that increases school adjustment for specialized vocational high school students. Furthermore, emotional intelligence shows the greatest explanatory power to peer relationship in school adjustment sub factors. This is showed that students with high emotional intelligence have good peer relationship than students with lower emotional intelligence relatively. Also, it can be known that school adjustment is high because the better peer relationship is, the higher self-efficacy, class immersion, resilience and so on are.

This study investigated how the 7th national elementary school science curriculum was implemented at science classrooms. Data from surveys with 140 elementary schools, 18 science classroom observations, and in-depth interviews with teachers were used to examine the characteristics of elementary school science instruction. Based on the data, I explored (1)how science curriculum is operated in terms of objectives, contents, methods and evaluation of school science, and (2)how student-centeredness and localization themes are reflected on the reconstructed school science curriculum. It was found that the degree of the reorganization of the national curriculum at the teacher level was minimal. And most of the elementary teachers followed the directions and contents of the science textbook and teacher's guidebook regardless of their own local situations. For most teachers, restructuring science curriculum meant reordering the sequences of the contents, and adding or deleting some units or topics. I also examined why elementary teachers have difficulty in reconstructing science curriculum at the classroom level. The necessity of curriculum reconstruction at the teacher level is also discussed.

Ministry of Education and Human Resources presented on December, 2006, 'Alternative school establishment and operation regulation' of contents that can be recognized attainments in scholarship because is authorized if alternative schools fulfill fixed condition. Even though, one time, it was true that several opinions which try to limit to adaptation school of person disqualified for school, thus, various discussion and efforts that specialized school for alternative education does to grow are appearing. However, the expectation which a lot of non authorized schools will apply is not so high because specialized school for alternative education will be controlled in free curriculum and school operation that have been administered and can not be guaranteed school's sell-regulation if acquire legal authorization. Under such social and educational background I surveyed present condition, law, system, literature investigation of existing study, Japanese system and example and authorized two sample specification schools etc. through 'A Basic Study on the Optimum Facilities Criteria Modeling of Regional Specialized Schools for Alternative Education(2006. 10)'. This study was preceded the succession and I visited 17 schools that permit investigation opening of schools among 29 that is authorized until present. So I try to find out architectural planning criteria to activate specialized school for alternative education more through analyzing school's general present condition, establishment idea, operation and specialized education plan, facilities present condition and characteristic.
