The purpose of this study is to find out the actual status of the math after-school program in the elementary school and the content of the program. We survey the 115 math external math lecturers of the 100 elementary schools in Busan and analyze the results. Research questions are set as follows. 1. What is the status of the elementary math after-school? 2. How is the content of the program of the elementary math after-school? The results of the survey are analyzed as follows. First, any of the external math after-school lecturer did not major in math education and 87% of them majored in another discipline. Second, 47% of the external math after-school lecturers are employed by privately-held companies. Third, 64.4% of the content of the after-school programs is the supplement and deepening of the regular math class. Fourth, 76.5% of the time of the first class of the math after-school program is 50 minutes and 46% of the math after-school opens 5 classes per a week. Fifth, most programs consist of the problem-solving style class. Sixth, it is difficult to run the math after-school according to students' level and grade. Based on the above discussion, I suggest the following. First, math after-school class should be the action-oriented class to motivate the positive and interested participation of the students. Second, lecturer training and various math class programs is required to improve the quality of the math after-school class.

This study analyzed the different needs between the after-school programs of elementary schools in metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas to understand the areas that need addressing to meet with the requisites of the programs. To this end, this study conducted a survey among teachers with experience in after-school management (n=233), and the needs and performance recognized by teachers were analyzed in the IPA model matrix. To sum up the results, 'Online educational infrastructure', 'Efficient administrative operation', and 'Supply of professional after-school instructors' were identified as the prior needs in metropolitan area. On the other hand, non-metropolitan area, 'Supply of professional after-school instructors', 'Quality educational contents', and 'Online educational infrastructure' were identified as the prior requisites to be addressed. Based on research findings, the study suggested implications in developing and implementing related policies. Research findings will be expected to refer as baseline data for activating after-school online program operations and improving its programs to meet with the different needs of regions.

The objective of this study is to describe the status of operation of after-school science activities in elementary school and offer suggestions for the activation of such programs by targeting parents who participated in an open class, and examining their recognition of the program. To achieve this, announcement sheets for after-school science activities in 809 elementary schools in Gyeonggi-do were collected to examine the class names, class fees, material costs, and management status of class hours. In addition, 36 parents who participated in an open class were targeted, and their recognition of the program was analyzed using the results of a questionnaire. A draft of the questionnaire was developed by revising and complementing the 2013 customer satisfaction survey of the living science class of the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science & Creativity. The final questionnaire was completed by consulting 1 science education professor and 12 Master's candidates in science education for advice on the validity of the questionnaire content and terminology. The collected data were analyzed using a statistical program. Based on the results of the study, the following suggestions are proposed for the activation of after-school science activities in elementary school. First, the needs of education consumers (parents) should be identified and reflected persistently to activate after-school science activities in elementary school. Second, a science program that reflects the demand and choice of education consumers (parents) needs to be developed for the continuous activation of after-school science activities in elementary school.

교구로봇' 교육은 영재교육과 경진대회를 통하여 초등학생과, 학부모, 교사에게 기대와 인식이 매우 보편화 되었다. 또한 창의성과 통섭교육에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 초등학교 방과후 교실의 로봇교육은 더욱 증가할 것으로 보인다. 그러나 방과후 로봇 교실 운영에 대한 초등현장의 교구로봇 교실 운영 실태조사가 이루어지지 않고 있을 뿐만 아니라 지도교사 양성이나 체계적인 프로그램 운영 관리가 부족한 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 초등학교의 방과후 '교구로봇' 교실 운영실태 및 교사의 인식을 조사하여 문제점을 파악하고, 보다 바람직하고 효율적인 방향으로 방과후학교 로봇교실이 정착될 수 있도록 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.

The aims of this study were to organize whether the Kindergarten After School Specialized Art Program could be applicable to young children, and whether this program would be effective to the development of young children's art competence. This study consisted of two steps: development of the Kindergarten After School Specialized Art Program and examination of its impact on children's art competence. This study used a two-group pretest/posttest design. Statistical analyses employed for this study were descriptive analysis, ANOVA, and repeated measure ANOVA. The results were as follows. Firstly, the Kindergarten After School Specialized Art Program was developed based on a literature review relevant of current art education. Secondly, the experimental group revealed a significant improvement in four components, whereas the control group showed a significant, but slight improvement compared with the experimental group in only three components. Thirdly, in between group comparison, a competencies on the four components based on multiple-creative ability in the experiment group were higher than that of the control group and the difference between both groups was statistically significant. Therefore, the program seemed to be effective in the improvement of art competence and multiple-creative ability. In addition, recommendation for the future research about after school teachers' and parents' recognition of the Kindergarten After School Specialized Art Program and strategies for its application are suggested.

The major purpose of this study is to contribute to activating the career education. To realize the goal, the study has investigated and analyzed an actual condition of the career instruction, which was conducted by the after-school class in the vocational high school. Based on such a research, it has also diagnosed the problems and suggested the plans in order to improve the troubles and manage the career instruction effectively. There are some summarized results of the study as follows. First, Students hope that as well. Students tend to prefer the career educational program for subject-related further study, career experience courses and getting certificates of qualification in order to choose their proper job. Second, the career instruction of after-school in the vocational school focuses on the entrance of universities and gaining certificates of qualification. Third, students have participated in the career educational program to enter the universities and get some certificates of qualification. Forth, teachers have considered the overwork of teachers attributed to the program and the lack of the cost as a major factor to interrupt the effective progress of the program. Finally, most teachers and students hope to have the program after school during weekday.Therefore, for more effective management of career education in the after-school of the vocational high school, the administrative and financial support should be required, and it is necessary to have good qualified teachers and consistently keep investing the funds in improving the program.
