The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of reading and discussion activities on children's self-esteem in a social welfare center called 'Gongbubang.' A reading/discussion program was constructed to serve the purpose of the study and suit the selected children by referring to earlier studies that found reading programs were effective at boosting the self-esteem of elementary schoolers. The subjects in this study were 21 children in 'HaedamGongbubang', a general social welfare center located in an urban region in South Gyeongsang Province. Out of them, 12 children who involved four boys and eight girls were selected as an experimental group, and nine who included five boys and four girls were grouped into a control group. The reading/discussion program was implemented in eight sessions during a four-week period of time from September 23 to October 15, 2009, twice a week, 50 to 55 minutes each. The instrument used in this study was Yoon Hyang-mi(2008)'s Self-Esteem Inventory, and the collected data were analyzed with a SPSS 12.0 program. The major findings of the study were as follows: First, the reading and discussion activities had an effect on bolstering the general self, social self and academic self of the children in the Gongbubang, a social welfare center. Second, the reading and discussion activities were effective at improving the general self and academic self of the school boys in the Gongbubang, a social welfare center. Third, the reading and discussion activities had an effect on fostering the social self and academic self of the school girls in the Gongbubang, a social welfare center. The findings of the study illustrated that the reading and discussion activities had an effect on furthering the self-esteem of the children in the Gongbubang, a social welfare center, and those activities are expected to be conducive to the self-esteem of children in Gongbubangs, which are social welfare centers.

최근 과학기술의 발달에 따른 컴퓨터 산업의 대중화로 각 가정마다 컴퓨터 1대씩은 필수로 보유하고 있다. 이러한 추세에 따라 초등학교 교육과정에도 재량활동으로 ICT 교육을 체계 있게 실시할 수 있도록 하고 있다. 하지만 컴퓨터를 가지고 정보를 활용하는 순기능을 잃어버리고 역기능이 학습지도와 생활지도의 문제로 등장했으며 컴퓨터 게임으로 인해 수많은 부정적인 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 전국 여러 곳에서 초등학교의 고학년 학생들의 자료를 수집한 다음 이것을 특별시 광역시지역, 중 소도시지역, 읍 면지역으로 구분한 후 학생들의 컴퓨터 게임 사용 실태를 알아보고, 컴퓨터 게임 중독 측정도구를 사용하여 컴퓨터 게임 중독의 유무를 파악하며, 컴퓨터 게임 중독에 영향을 미치는 여러 요인들을 찾아보았다. 중독이 되는 요인으로는 남학생일수록, 학교 성적이 낮을수록, 게임 사용 경력이 오랠수록, 게임 사용 빈도가 높을수록, 게임 사용 시간이 많을수록, 공격성과 충동성이 높을수록, 자기통제가 안 될수록, 부모로부터 존중을 받지 못할수록, 공부스트레스가 많을수록, 대인불안이 높을수록, 친구 따라서 게임할수록 중독이 잘되는 것으로 나타났다. 소속감과 재미와 성취감이 관련이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 중독의 실태 및 요인을 알아 본 바에 따르면, 컴퓨터 중독을 비방하는 가장 큰 방법은 가정에서 부모가 자녀를 존중해주고, 바른 인성을 길러 공격성과 충동성이 높지 않고, 게임을 많이 좋아하지 않는 친구를 사귀는 것이 중요하다고 하겠다. 그리하여 가정과 학교와 사회가 올바로 역할을 수행한다면 정보화의 역기능인 컴퓨터 중독을 예방하고 정보 활용의 본래의 기능을 되살릴 수 있으리라 본다.

This research aims to analyze the process of selecting, maintaining, and changing the method of learning mathematics by middle school students from the perspective of self-regulated learning ability, in order to help students to select a rational method of studying. For this purpose, we defined 'assisted-learning' as all kinds of education that education demanders receive to supplement their regular school studies. As results of the research, it was found as follows. First, the students with high self-regulated learning ability selected, maintained, and changed their assisted-learning based on their concrete decision and rational reasons regarding the effect of their learning process and assisted-learning to themselves. Second, the students with high self-regulated learning ability had tendency to be very active participation in class than the students with low ability. Third, the students with high self-regulated learning ability felt the effect of assisted-learning on their learning mathematics, and felt the enhancement of their interest and confidence. Also, it is notable that the students selected 'their own willingness to study' as a major factor for the success of assisted-learning.

The aim of this paper is to explore and understand, using in-depth interviews, the participant's motivation for becoming a math teacher, ways of dealing with university math knowledge and private tutoring experiences. In addition a larger aim is to understand how the individual's interest in mathematics and turing are linked to his/her larger personal tendencies contrasting secondary and university math learning. In-depth interviews were conducted with 6 pre-service teachers' subjective experiences focusing on motivation and feelings on mathematical knowledge and private tutoring. The output of this research consists of 3 cases, highlighting and conceptually developing the specific aspects under study; different ways in which individuals' involvement with the math learning and tutoring that might be connected with the ways of becoming teachers. Larger aspects of pre-service teachers' subjective experiences were sketched by contrasting the inner aspects of the individuals. Several suggestions were presented at the end with the possible research directions for math education.

The purpose of this study was to investigate students' and teachers' views on the necessity of learning science in Korea. To grade sixth students(n=565) and teachers(n=57) of elementary schools in Seoul, Korea, a question, "Why do we have to learn science?", requiring a short essay of more than 7 lines including the reason and examples was given. From the analysis of short essays with the network analysis, it was found that most students and teachers had views of "we have to learn science to make personal everyday-life easy in aspect of personal usefulness and human everyday-life easy in aspect of social usefulness" with focusing on external value of science and taking examples of everyday-life related. And it was found that students' and teachers' views were somewhat biased toward focusing on external values of science.

This study qualitatively examined the lives of non-tenured, secondary school teachers who are preparing for the teachers' exam. Semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were conducted with ten teachers and the data were analyzed using the consensual qualitative research method. Most of the participants had chosen a contract-based teaching position, believing that it would meet their financial needs, provide them with the satisfaction of being a teacher and, more importantly, afford practical help with their exam preparation. In practice, however, they suffered from low self-esteem and identity confusion due to discrimination by the school administrators. Ironically, this unfair treatment strengthened the participants' commitment to studying for the exam, in order to acquire a stable and secure position in school. However, they experienced a lot of study-related stress, including a lack of study hours, heavy study load, multiple life roles, physical exhaustion, the difficulties caused by the vague exam guide, and anxiety due to previous failure in the exam. Based on the findings of this study, directions for future research are suggested.

From this research, we want to get results that have interested the difference from character of students with the motivation of the learning, confidence and habit through the activity oriented class. When teacher teach students of the learning disability with participant class and activity class, they have encouraged and have positive disposition about mathematics. Therefore teachers should try to give chance doing in mathematics class to students with learning disability.

This study aimed to investigate the difference in response to reading as shown in book reports by personality type and interest type. For this purpose, personality type analysis data, interest type analysis data, and book report data written in subject reading activities were collected from 81 third graders at D Science High School in Daejeon. Topic analysis was conducted on the collected book reports, and the probability of a topic being mentioned was statistically tested according to personality type (thinking type, feeling type) and interest type (investigative type, types other than investigative). Subsequently, the conceptual connection structure of words was measured by keyword network analysis, and the analysis results of topic modeling were complemented by the centrality index. As a result of the study, the topic regression analysis showed statistically significant differences between thinking type (T) and feeling type (F) in topic 2 (understanding and studying) and topic 3 (reading and thinking), and statistically significant differences between investigative type and non-investigative type in topic 2 (understanding and studying). The results of this study can be used as a basis for tailored book recommendations and personalized reading education.
