The purpose of the study is to explore how isolated immigrant adolescents seek and use necessary information when they are unable to use significant information sources-their peer groups-in the period of transition before new peer groups are established. Sixteen recently arrived Korean immigrant adolescents were recruited and a mixed method including surveys and in-depth interviews was used through three research phases. This study gained a preliminary understanding of isolated immigrant adolescents' information world: how they interpret their current situations and daily hassles, seek (or do not seek), and utilize information to cope with their daily life problems, and evaluate their use of information, including library systems and interpersonal sources. Five main emergent themes were analyzed from the findings and pertinent theories/models to interpret these unique features were suggested and discussed. The contribution and limitation of the study and future study are suggested and discussed.

The outdoor recreation fever that is drastically increasing in Korea could be the result of the interaction between mass media and popular culture as well as increase of leisure time and disposable income. Thus, the purpose of this study is to specify how the exposure of outdoor recreation through mass media influences potential outdoor recreationists. In order to specify this decision-making process, playfulness, which is the intrinsic characteristic of adults' fun and play, was added to the theory of planned behavior, which has high explanation power regarding human behavior. As a result of the study, it turned out that playfulness significantly influences attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control, and that attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control also significantly influence behavioral intention. These results specify that playfulness is a factor that has a great effect on outdoor recreation that seeks deviant behavior.

Online games are getting more popular among today's fun-seeking young students. The immersive power of these Internet-based games is so strong that many educators consider the integration of the games and learning to enhance learner motivation. However, the online games, which are primarily aiming g for 'fun', have cognitive, emotional, and social features and impacts that are different from the so-called 'educational' games. Therefore an interdisciplinary approach for better understanding of the online game in regard to its impact on learning and fun should be essential. In this study, the researcher will analyze relevant literature and theories from cognitive psychology, media and communication theory, and Ludology to grasp holistic understanding of online game phenomena, which will serve as basis of further research and development in this emerging area.

이 연구는 고등학교 $\ulcorner$기술ㆍ가정$\lrcorner$주거 공간 꾸미기 단원의 교수-학습을 위한 WBI 프로그램을 개발하고 평가하는 데 목적이 있다. 이 연구는 WBI 프로그램을 개발하여 주거 공간 꾸미기 단원의 교과 내용을 학습하고 HOME DESIGN 응용 프로그램을 이용하여 실습함으로써 제 7차 교육과정에서 강조하는 웹 기반 수업과 개별학습을 하는 데 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 프로그램은 ADDIE 모형을 중심으로 학습 내용 선정, WBI 프로그램 설계, WBI 프로그램 개발 수업 적용, 평가 과정을 거쳐 개발하였다. 우선 $\ulcorner$기술ㆍ가정$\lrcorner$6개 교과서의 주거 공간 꾸미기 내용을 정리하고 그 내용을 바탕으로 HTML과 PHP, MySQL로 데이터베이스를 구축하여 학습자와 컴퓨터와의 역동적인 상호 작용이 이루어지도록 설계하였다. 또한 온라인의 개별 학습이 가능하도록 주메뉴를 교과서 연구실, 3D 홈 디자인 실습실, 자료 공유실, 종합 평가실의 네 부분으로 구성하여 이론을 약 6시간 동안 학습하고 나서 3시간 동안 실습을 할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발된 프로그램을 수정 보완하고 프로그램의 질을 높이기 위한 목적으로 청주시 C고등학교 1학년 학생 35명과 가정과 교사 3명을 대상으로 시범 적용한 결과를 바탕으로 프로그램의 작동 여부를 화인하고 오류를 고쳐 프로그램의 문제점을 개선하였다. 본 프로그램을 이용한 회원은 4월 20일부터 6월 1일까지 2개 고등학교 학생 70명, 11개 고등학교 교사 11명이었다. 평가 결과 교사들은 본 프로그램에서 가장 유용하게 이용한 부분으로 ‘3D 홈 디자인 실습실(63.6%)’, ‘교과서 연구실(18.2%)’, ‘게시판. 자료실, 묻고 답하기 등(18.2%)’ 순으로 답한 반면 학생들은 ‘3D 홈 디자인 실습실(47.8%)’, ‘교과서 연구실(34.3%)’, ‘게시판, 자료실, 묻고 답하기 등(17.9%)’의 순으로 답하여 유용한 부분에 대한 순서는 일치하나 비율에 차이가 있어 교사들이 ‘3D 홈 디자인 실습실(63.6%)’을 더 유용하게 이용했음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 프로그램을 사용하는 데 있어 교사는 ‘쉬운 편이다’라는 응답이 63.6%로 학생의 24.2% 응답과 차이가 있었으며, 제시된 학습 내용의 양이 ‘적당하다’에 교사가 63.6%, 학생이 48.4%로 답하여 차이가 있었다. 그리고 교사들은 화면 구성이 ‘잘 구성된 편이다(72.7%)’,‘평상시 수업보다 이해에 도움이 되었다(81.2%)’로 답하여 교사들이 학생들보다 본 프로그램에 더 긍정적인 반응을 보였음을 알 수 있었다. 프로그램에 대한 장점과 개선할 점에 대한 개방형 평가는 교사들의 평가와 유사하여 ‘재미있어서 시간이 부족했다’, ‘잘하지는 않았지만, 직접 디자인해서 재미있었다’, ‘어른이 되면 주거 공간 활용을 잘 할 것 같다’, ‘새로운 경험이라 재미있었다’, ‘흥미롭고 재미있었다’, ‘쉽게 되어 있어 좋다’, ‘가구 배치가 잘 되었고. 흠 디자인한 색상이 잘 맞는다’라는 의견이었다. 그러나 주거 공간 꾸미기 WBI 프로그램을 이용한 수업이 컴퓨터에 대한 소양이 부족한 학생과 집중력이 떨어지는 학생에게는 다소 어려움이 있으므로 학생들의 개인차와 학교 실정에 따른 시간 배당 등을 고려하여 학생의 개별학습과 아울러 학교에서 교사의 설명과 함께 수업 시간에 활용할 것을 제안한다.

This study is intended to reveal reading comic books helps improve creativity. Though the long-lasting negative recognition towards comic books has positively changed these days, we need a ground upon which the social recognition needs improvement in that children's comic books have been used as a learning tool. Its introduction points out that there has been shortage of empirical researches on comic book reading, and as one of the empirical research methods, presents a method of comparative analysis on comic book reading, school study, and creativity tests via survey. The theoretical background in the 2nd chapter, first, puts emphasis on the significance of the creativity theory among all the other theories related to creativity, which focuses on problem-solving capacity. Second, it theoretically reviews the meaning which 'fun' and 'interest' have in development of creativity in the context of developmental process of the modern educational theories. Third, it empathizes that traits of reading comic books start off with 'fun' and 'interest', that awareness of reality gets expanded via the process of characters making their way through a strange world with empathy and absorption, and that comic book reading has to do with creativity. Fourth, it presents a model questionnaire with which to study relationship between comic books and creativity in an empirical way. The analysis on the survey outcome in the 3rd chapter shows, first, that smart students read many comic books, not to mention that studying helps improve creativity, which indicates above all, comic book reading and improvement of creativity are not negatively related, but are mutually complementary. Second, that creativity enhanced by reading comic books is higher than that enhanced by studying, which may mean comic book reading is more effective than studying in developing creativity. It has drawn a conclusion based upon these results, that reading comic books bears positive efficacy on both studying and developing creativity. Standing on this conclusion, it proposes it necessary to develop methods by grades of educating how to read comic books and to provide a recommended list of comic books to read.

In this paper, in order to improve concentration of learning disorder students, m-ARCS model is proposed. The m-ARCS model is based on the ARCS model that is the existing representative motivation support model. The model is designed on mobile environment, and to provide motivation and concentration to learning disorder students by allowing students to engage in various real-life activities. Based on the proposed m-ARCS model, a mobile anchor program is designed and implemented. The followings are concluded after applying the mobile anchor program to learning disorder students. First, students are highly motivated and concentrated by the program. Second, students gain confidence by feeling of success during their study. Third, their basic study ability is improved via the mobile anchor program activities

Argument alternation in English sentences such as “load hay onto the truck" vs. “load the truck with hay" or “Bees are swarming in the. garden" vs. “The garden swarms with bees" present an interesting dilemma for linguistic theory in several ways. Along with each kind of syntactic rearrangement of arguments goes a subtle but significant and systematic change in the verb's meaning. This has been called as different terminology such as “Double-faced", “Verbal diathesis", and most commonly as “Argument alternation", Dowty adopts terminology: Agent-subject (A-subject) form and Location-subject (L-subject) form in referring the two kinds of sentences and analyses as well as describes their different properties. In this paper, I basically follow the Dowty(200l)'s assumption while surveying several linguists's analysis and show its theoretical adequacy. and show its theoretical adequacy.

신경섬유는몸체 안에서 정보의 전달을 액숀 포텐셜(action potential) 형태의 신호(signal)에 의해 수행하고 있다. 우리 몸체에서 두뇌의 지령을 받아 어떠한 동작을 근육에 신경을 통하여 전달하는 것을 생각할 때 두뇌는 정보의 원천(source)으로서, 근육과의 신경접점은 리시버(receiver)로서, 신경섬유는 전화선으로서 간주될 수 있다. 그리고 몸체·안에서의 정보의 전달의 원리는 통신공학이론에 의하여 설명되어 질 수 있다. 저자는 생리학에 깊은 지식이 없어 전자공학분야에 종사 하시는 분들을 위해 이 재미있는 생물학적 현상을 설명할 수 있는 신경조직의 구조(mechanism)와 수학적 모델을 소개하고자 한다. 저자는 독자가 신경조직의 구조의 이해를 위해 액숀 포텐셜(action potential)의 구조를 소개하고 수학적 모델를 위해서는 호지킨-헉슬리 방정식 (Hodgkin-Huxley equation)과 케이불 방정식 (cable equation)을 설명하려고 한다.
