This study aimed to propose the core values of librarians by investigating the core values of domestic and foreign libraries, including ALA's core values, and analyzing related research by domestic and foreign researchers. The research process included literature analysis, case studies, and surveys. The results showed that although the recognition of the need for setting core values for librarians was high (4.48), the awareness and understanding of core values were low. The reasons for recognizing the need for setting core values included improving the recognition and value of librarians, enhancing their professionalism, and establishing the value of libraries. The study proposed approximately 20 core values for librarians, with only two items scoring below 4 points, and 18 items showing high agreement with scores of 4 points or above. Particularly, professionalism, accessibility, diversity, service, literacy, and public interest all scored above 4.4. Analysis of perception differences between different types of libraries revealed significant differences for almost all items, with school libraries showing the most significant differences. The study recommends conducting in-depth research at the national level to reduce the number of core values to within 10 and share them with the nation.

Due to the importance of biotechnological literacy, the educational community in fields such as technology education, science education, and agricultural education has acknowledged the importance of biotechnology instruction for secondary school. Although recognized as a content organizer in the field of technology education, the actual teaching of biotechnology has not been broadly implemented in technology education classes. In the perspective of expectancy-value theory, technology teachers' motivation is the key factor for affecting the biotechnology instruction. This study investigates Korean technology teachers' motivational beliefs toward biotechnology and its instruction and their perceived ability and value toward biotechnology learning contents. To measure their motivational beliefs and attitudes, a composite on-line survey (fifteen motivational beliefs items, eight biotechnology content items, and related demographic items) was developed. Based on 114 Korean technology teachers' responses the researcher performed a descriptive analysis, independent t-test, and factor analyses (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis using M-plus 5.0 and SPSS 16.0). Korean technology teachers' abilities toward eight biotechnology contents indicated lowscores while their values were relatively high. Through the independent sample t-test by two demographic variables (gender and professional development), this study found several significant differences in the perceived value. As a preliminary finding of exploratory factor analysis, fifteen items was separated into two motivational constructs of expectancy (6 items) and value (8 items). One item (item #6) was eliminated due to the cross loading. The final findings of this study may have significant implications for professional development regarding biotechnology and its instruction (both in-service and pre-service training) of technology teachers. Also, the confirmatory facctor analysis supported the preliminary finding. Finally, this study recommends that a validity test for other population, investigation for motivational sub-constructs, and in-depth investigation toward biotechnology instruction.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of teaching mathematics for social justice on students'interest towards mathematics and perceptions of mathematical values. Eighteen 6th grade students, at B elementary school in Seocho-gu, Seoul, who wished to involved in the study participated in the 10 hour lessons. During the lessons for social justice, the researchers analyzed the students' reactions in the lessons according to the three categories: Perceiving given problematic situations of social conflicts, searching for problem-solving methods based on mathematical analysis, and changing social behaviors to solve life issues through mathematics. They also examined changes of students' interest towards mathematics and perceptions of mathematical values through the activities and reactions using the preliminary questionnaires, observations of lessons, and students' activity sheets. The research results showed that the students perceived mathematics as a tool for social justice in mathematics lessons, tried to find problem-solving methods based on mathematical analysis, and expressed their active social behaviors by cultivating the will of practice to solve life issues through mathematics. Based on those findings, the study reached the following conclusions. First, the students recognize many of the social problems in their societies as social justice regardless of their economic levels. Second, learning activities need to design in a way that students can accept the social problems as realistic situations in teaching mathematics for social justice. Third, students look at the world from a mathematical perspective, have interest in mathematics, and recognize the values of mathematics in teaching mathematics for social justice.

"자판기는 왜 네모나기만 하지?" "자판기는 왜 단순 물품판매 기능만 있는 거지? 다른 기능들이 있어도 좋을 텐데..." 단지 호기심어린 동심의 시각만이 아니더라도 이런 궁금증 한번 가져 봤을 법하다. "왜? 왜"하며 고개를 갸우뚱하게 만든다는 것은 그만큼 '블루오션'의 영역도 넓다는 얘기이다. 자판기의 경우 누구도 한계영역을 규정지어 놓은 것도 아닌데 '단순 물품판매 기능'에다 '획일적인 디자인'에 묶여 있는 게 보통이다. 새로운 시각으로 자판기를 다기능화하려는 선각자적인 시도들은 무모한 도전으로 규정지어지기 일 수이고, 이런 환경에서 자판기는 자기 복제만 되풀이 할 뿐 별다른 발전이 없게되는 상황에 이른다. 무궁무진한 아이디어 지향적이라는 특성을 장점으로 하는 자판기가 '단순 획일화'의 벽을 뛰어 넘지 못하는 게 안타깝다. 해법은 자판기 상상력이 충분히 발현될 수 있는 시장환경이 조성되어야 한다는 점이다. 지금 당장만 중시하는 단기적 시장논리로 자판기 가능성의 싹을 죽여 버리는 토양에서 혁신이 일어나기란 정말 힘들다. 이런 점에서 볼 때 금호에 소개하는 지문인식 광고 커피자판기가 시사하는 바가 크다. 핵심은 이제 이런 제품에 대한 관심이 높아졌으면 하는 점이다. 허무맹랑하다고? 사업리스크가 크다고? 이런 선입견을 가지고 새로운 가치를 원천적으로 차단해 버린다면 자판기는 항상 '그 모양 그 꼴' 일수밖에 없다. 새로운 시장을 만들고 발전시키는 것은 항상 무모할 것 같은 도전에서 나온다. 이번에 소개되는 지문인식 광고 커피자판기는 현재 한 개인의 사업모델이기는 하지만 새로운 미래형 자판기 트랜드가 될 수 있다는 점을 주목했다. 단지 개인의 발명차원의 사업모델을 소개하는 이유가 여기에 있다. 자판기의 새로운 가치를 찾고 영역을 확대한다는 측면에서 한번 머리를 '릴렉스'하게 해보자. 자판기 분야에 전혀 경험도 없지만 뜨거운 열정으로 지문인식 광고자판기를 특허 출원한 벤처 청년 황고연이 제시하는 "자판기 상상력"의 세계를 따라가 봤다.

This study aims to investigate how high school teachers and students perceive the purpose of science learning. Participants were high school science teachers and students from one hundred and sixty high schools nationwide, which were selected through proportional stratified sampling method. Teachers and students responded on open-ended questionnaires about the purpose of science learning. The data were analyzed using the semantic network analysis method. Our study illustrates three major finding: First, teachers recognized the intrinsic value related to cognitive domain as the more important purpose of science learning, while students recognized the extrinsic value related to personal usefulness domain as more important. Second, teachers' responses were significantly different depending on the teaching career. Beginning teachers believed both intrinsic and extrinsic values were equally important, while experienced teachers believed the cognitive domain about understanding of scientific knowledge was more important than intrinsic values. In other words, the differences in perception of the purpose of science between teachers and students, the experienced teachers is greater than the beginning teachers. Finally, students' responses were different depending on their academic track. Humanity major students recognized that learning science made their everyday-life easier while science major students recognized that learning science should be related to their future careers. In conclusion, the results of this study is expected to be of use as the basic data to identify the characteristic of teachers and students related to science.
