The purpose of this study is to find the mediative effects of social capital in the effective path of the satisfaction of education welfare project on school adaptation, and to find out the path difference between elementary and middle school students. We surveyed 153 elementary and 124 middle school students in Gangwondo. These data analyzed by multiple group analysis of structural equation. Elementary school students realized that social capital has an effect on school adaptation. Middle school students realized that the satisfaction of education welfare project has an effect on school adaptation, and social capital has an effect on school adaptation. There is not a mediative effect of school capital on the effect of the satisfaction on school adaptation for two groups. Based on these results, implications to improve the school adaptation for elementary and middle school students were suggested.

In this study, the perceptions on SW education of K-12 students and teachers were surveyed and analyzed. At the primary school level, there was no significant difference in SW attitude based on school location. However, at the secondary level, students from metropolitan areas showed significantly higher SW attitude scores. In the case of gender, male students showed higher SW attitude scores both in primary and secondary schools. With regard to attitude differences based on prior experience of SW education, students with prior experience showed higher attitude scores in SW education in both primary and secondary schools. The awareness survey among teachers showed that both primary and secondary school teachers showed positive responses to SW education. For the successful induction of the SW education at K-12, four factors (participants, curriculum, teaching-learning method, and support from inside and outside of school) were highlighted.

This study developed elementary and middle school career education programs linked to science subjects and local natural resources, and explored learning effects and implications for developing and operating career programs. In order to achieve the research purpose, a 10-hour career education program using local natural and social resources was developed and applied to 25 elementary and middle school students in rural areas. As a result of the study, most of the elementary and middle school students who participated in this study were not well aware of the natural and social resource value of the area where they lived. Therefore, when developing and operating a regional-based career education program for elementary and middle school students in rural areas, it is necessary to operate a separate teaching/learning activity time so that students can fully know the natural and social information and resource values of the region. In addition, in order to enhance students' participation and interest in career education programs, it is necessary to organize the operation of the program in groups, not individuals, and to guide students in detail by dividing the program's performance process into several sub-steps. Finally, the core material of regional-linked career education-related programs focused more on their own content, that is, agricultural products grown by parents, and future job settings were higher in start-ups that directly operate companies such as travel agencies and manufacturing companies. Given the recent emphasis on career education in the curriculum, it is suggested that local students should pay more attention to finding materials with local resource value in the field of geoscience, which is closely related to natural resources, and developing and operating them as career education programs linked to local resources.

This study aims to investigate how the social capital of middle school students is influenced by their grades, attitudes, and school interests, which are defined as school adjustment flexibility, and how they affect the social capital of middle school students. This study aims to provide a basis for policy discussions on how to shape the social capital of adolescents. The results of the analysis show that school adjustment flexibility has an impact on each factor of social capital. Trust is positively related to school attitudes, and norms are positively related to school compliance and school interest. Network has a positive effect on school attitude and a negative effect on school enjoyment. These results suggest that the higher the ability to follow the rules, the higher the norms of social capital, which suggests that social norms internalized at the individual level also affect group norms, which are the standards of behavior or rituals that members of a group follow when they want to behave as expected of them. We were able to find out that the normative domain of social capital is expanded by increasing the interest in school life of elementary and middle school students, and we confirmed that school class attitude is a major influencing factor in developing the network of social capital. Therefore, in order to increase the social capital capacity of elementary and middle school students, it is necessary to devise a plan to form various networks through multifaceted efforts to increase interest in school life and changes in school class attitude.

Based on the previous reports that majority of teachers have negative perceptions on food additives, a teacher training program called 'Let's teach food additives correctly' was developed and applied to improve teachers' unbalanced perception on food additives and let them teach students with sound scientific background. The 15-hours training program consisted of understanding of food safety and food additives, education materials on food additives, development of teaching-learning plan, meeting with professionals from Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS), visiting MFDS labs, application to school class, and evaluation. A total of 63 teachers participated in the training through 2 sessions conducted in August 2016. As a result, teachers showed high satisfaction rates (4.2~4.5 in 5.0-Likert scale) and 91.5% answered the training helpful for the school class. Although their initial intention to participate the training was to know the details of negative intake effects of food additives, their such perception was totally changed in addition, they suggested a continuous training for teachers and immediate correction of incorrect information in school textbooks. Also, post-training education for 1,172 students by these teachers appeared to improve the understanding of and the native perceptions on food additives significantly (p < 0.001). Above results showed that the training program could solve the problem of transmitting unbalanced information on food additives to students by training teachers, and such channel could be used to facilitate food-related risk communication.

The elementary school curriculum includes some statistical concepts and many graphical methods. However, statistical concepts are difficult to understand; consequently, many of those graphs and numerical summaries are obtained by hand. We develop an intuitive statistics education package called Tong-Gramy focused on 5-8 graders to help students and teachers study statistics. This software covers numerical and graphical statistics that appear in 5-8 graders' textbooks. The graphs provided are dynamically linked to data and every graph is linked to every datum. The graphs of Tong-Gramy are dynamic graphs and morphing technology is used where applicable.

School facilities are one of the important educational requirements, and it is necessary to maintain safe and sustainable for the ongoing educational environment. For this reason, educational government department have an effort to produce school facilities that have become safe, comfort, convenient and high-quality. There are many methods to improve existing buildings and build new schools by energy efficient technology. Even though educational environment of school facilities are improved by the efforts, the energy consumption has a huge increase. Energy is a major budget item for schools. The accurate estimation of energy cost is critical for effective budgeting and financing for the school facility maintenance. Accurate energy cost estimation also allow for a anticipatable LCC (Life Cycle Cost) of new school facilities. In this study, in order to produce a basic information about the present energy usage status in domestic school facilities, energy usage quantity is regionally analysed according to physical characteristics of elementary, middle, and high school facilities. Those results will give a chance to see deeply the pros and cons of energy usage each regional school facilities.

컴퓨터 보급률의 증가로 소프트웨어에 관한 관심이 높아지게 되었고, 이는 초중등학생에게 프로그래밍을 가르치는 계기가 되었다. 하지만 대부분의 프로그래밍 언어는 영어로 구성되어 있어 영어 능력이 부족한 초중등학생이 사용하기에 부담되는 것이 사실이다. 그래서 비영어권 국가에서는 모국어로 된 프로그래밍 언어를 개발해왔다. 한국에서는 몇몇 한글 프로그래밍 언어가 개발되었지만, 현재까지 사용되고 있는 언어가 거의 없다. 또한, 객체 지향을 지원하는 한글 프로그래밍 언어가 거의 없다. 우리는 프로그래밍을 처음 배우는 초보자들이 영어를 모르더라도 객체 지향 개념을 쉽게 사용할 수 있도록 도와주는 한글 프로그래밍 언어 새싹을 개발하였다. 새싹을 통해 객체 지향 개념을 쉽게 습득함으로써 나중에 영어로 된 프로그래밍 언어를 배워야 할 때에서 더 쉽게 배울 수 있을 것이다.
