This study verified the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Student Career Construct Inventory(K-SCCI) that was translated into Korean language from the Student Career Construct Inventory (SCCI) developed by Savickas et al.(2018). To achieve this, this study conducted item content analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and criterion-related validity in 530 university students. As a result of item content analysis and exploratory factor analysis, it was found that 4 factor models and 18 items were the most appropriate in K-SCCI. The 4 factors were named as crystallizing a vocational self-concept, exploring to gather information about occupations, deciding to commit to an occupational choic, and preparing to implement that choice. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis to verify the goodness-of-fit of the 4 factor models, it appeared to be appropriate. As a result of analyzing the correlation with related measures to verify the criterion-related validity of measures, it was found that student career construct was negatively correlated with employment anxiety but positively correlated with career adaptability.

The purpose of the study was to investigate and develop a practical approach to integrating student-driven mathematical problems posing in mathematics instruction. A problem posing activity was performed during regular mathematics instruction. A total of 540 mathematical problems generated by students were recorded and analysed using systemic procedures and criteria. Of the problems, 81% were mathematically solvable problem and 18% were classified as error type problems. The Mathematically solvable problem were analysed and categorized according to the complexity level; 13% were of a high-level, 30% mid-level and 57% low-level. The error-type problem were classified as such within three categories: non-mathematical problem, statement or mathematically unsolvable problem. The error-type problem category was distributed variously according to the leaning theme and accomplishment level. The study has important implications in that it used systemic procedures and criteria to analyse problem generated by students and provided the way for integrating mathematical instruction and problem posing activity.

e-learning has been recently introduced in all educational domains and it has expanded rapidly in educational field. Blended learning, which has emerged with e-learning nowadays, is an exact example of a new paradigm. It has not only educational effects of traditional classroom learning, but it also has effects of e-learning which provides learner-centered classroom environment and removes barriers of time and space. This study looked into several e-learning contents evaluation criteria that were already studied, And arranged with the evaluation question item that can evaluate learning effectiveness of e-learning contents in elementary school through a questionnaire executed in elementary school teachers. And it used this evaluation question item and the study accomplishment results of an education ruler, and applied to learning effectiveness evaluation of e-learning contents. This paper will give future directions and assessment criteria of e-learning. Moreover, this thesis will provide theoretical and practical materials for developing e-learning contents to improve quality of blended learning.

In this article, I intended to develop the contents of regional learning in social studies and in geography education. In achieving the goal of regional teaming, we have to investigate three facets, i .e. theoretical, organizational, and practical facet. In particular, practical facet is very important one in that it is directly related to content development. As the criteria of content constitution, I proposed two elements, 'historical-geographical landscape'and 'region-related discourse' which are pertinent to the case region, Yonsan in Chungcheongnam-do, Korea. And then, on the basis of disciplinary results in geography, I developed the scope and sequence of contents by utilizing three lagers of space which are 'habitat space', 'social space', and 'power space', three geographical concepts of 'site→symbolic landscape→territoriality', and three spatial scales of 'local→inter-local →regional one'correspondingly.

Objectives: This study is an explorative study for developing an instrument to measure habitual physical activity level of school-aged children. Methods: HPAQ-S consists of 41 items and a self-reported 5-day recall instrument designed to assess habitual physical activity level for school-aged children. For the validity and reliability test, a sample consisted of 28 children, aged 10-11 years old. Results: 41 question items showed an acceptable internal consistency (cronbach's alpha=.89). A significant positive correlation with the pedometer results (r=.69, p<.001) and with Borg's questionnaire (r=.76, p<.001) support the validity of HPAQ-S. Conclusion: HPAQ-S may be more useful for measuring habitual physical activity level of elementary school-aged children in large populations.

This study aims to provide suggestions for improving national curriculum monitoring system. To achieve this goal, we analyzed the Korean national curriculum monitoring system in terms of actual problems and challenges faced by school teachers, and drew criteria for analyzing overseas curriculum monitoring system. Based on the criteria, we investigated the Australian and Singaporean national curriculum monitoring system. We especially carried out interviews with school teachers, principals, officials in Ministry of Education, and tried to identify the actual condition of curriculum monitoring system beyond superficial investigation of them. The results of this study provide four suggestions such as integrated way of monitoring, multi-way open system, and substantial approach into monitoring operation which will lead into meeting with the purpose of the monitoring system of national curriculum.

The purpose of this study is to find out the mediation effects of social-support for adolescents' game addiction and school adaptation. For this study, 353 middle school students in the West-Gyungsangnamdo areas were included in the analysis. Setting as covariates, a mediator and extra variables significantly correlated with the criterion variable, regression analysis, SPSS Macro and bootstrapping methods were used to assess the mediation effects of social-support for adolescents' game addiction and school adaptation. The results showed that adolescents highly addicted to games tended to have more difficulty in adapting to school. However, it was found that social-support (mediator) fully mediated the influence of the adolescents' game addiction (predictor) on school adaptation (criterion variable). Based on the results of the analysis, we suggest implications for social work practice to improve how game-addicted adolescents settle down in middle school through increasing social-support - the mediator - and hence bring about a decrease in game addiction among adolescents.

According to the 2007 national curriculum amendment, new 'informatics' textbooks have been used since 2010 as a textbook for middle school first graders and will eventually be used in other grades. However, only a few studies that have evaluated the 'informatics' textbooks, have been performed. What is worse is the fact that none of the evaluating tools even exist. Therefore, we propose the criteria of selecting 'informatics' textbooks in middle school. Its contents can be summarized as follows: First, this paper classifies previous studies on textbook evaluation into general criteria of selecting textbooks, method of textbook analysis based on how inquisitively students can learn and previous studies which analyzed existing secondary school 'informatics' textbooks and propose the criteria of selecting 'informatics' textbooks in middle school. Second, using the proposed selection criteria for 'informatics' textbooks and other evaluation criteria, five kinds of informatics textbooks were analyzed. Furthermore, it is expected that we can use the selection criteria as a material to choose the new 'Information science' textbooks, and to suggest alternative directions of future studies in the area of evaluating 'Information science' textbooks.
