This study aims the meta analysis based on the results of the empirical studies related to Job of life-long educators who are working in life-long education center, and the relationship between variables. In order to deliver this objective, articles published in domestic journals from December 2000 to April 2019 were collected, and total of 14 studies and 170 sub data were coded. With those data, the meta-analysis was executed by CMA(Comprehensive Meta Analysis) 3.0 program. The results of this meta-analysis study are as follows. First, the overall effect size associated with Job of life-long educators was 0.767, indicating between medium and large effect size. Second, the effect sizes of dependent variables that are influenced by job of life-long educators were Organization immersion, Job performance, Job satisfaction, and Job stress in order. Third, the effect size of Individual focus variables study was almost twice as big as that of mutual relation focus variables. The implications of this study were suggested based on the analysis results to provide the directivity about how we consider life-long educators related to their job.

The aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis of the learning outcomes of immersive learning technologies in English language teaching (ELT). This study examined 12 articles, yielding a total of 20 effect sizes. The Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) program was employed for data analysis. The findings revealed that the overall effect size was 0.84, implying a large effect size. Additionally, the mean effect sizes of the dependent variables revealed a large effect size for both the cognitive and affective domains. Furthermore, the study analyzed the impact of moderator variables such as sample scale, technology type, tool type, work type, program type, duration (sessions), the degree of immersion, instructional technique, and augmented reality (AR) type. Among the moderators, the degree of immersion was found to be statistically significant. In conclusion, the study results suggested that immersive learning technologies had a positive impact on learning in ELT.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to conduct a meta-analysis of results of death education program implemented with a wide range of learners from preschoolers to the elderly and use the findings to suggest effect sizes of the intervention program, variables, and measurement tools and activity elements of the variables. Method: Among preceding studies conducted domestically until 2015, 21 studies that meet the meta-analysis criteria were selected and analyzed using CMA(Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3.0 version). Results: The findings are as follows. The overall average effect size was rather large at 0.997. Reviewing by research subject group, victims of domestic violence indicated the largest effect size(2.381). As for variables, death awareness showed the largest effect size(2.908). In terms of activity elements, the largest effect size for total number of sessions was 16 sessions (4.972), while that for per week sessions was 2 sessions/week (2.327). With effect size for activity hours largest at 30 minutes(5.365) followed by 108 minutes(2.381) and 360 minutes(1.607), it was found that there is no positive relationship between activity time and effect size. In terms of publication type, effect size of academic journal paper was 1.107 while that of thesis or dissertation was 0.894, indicating that academic journal papers are relatively highly effective. Conclusions: The present study is meaningful in that it provides baseline data applicable to program development and implementation by verifying the effectiveness of domestically implemented death education programs and variables relevant to such programs.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder intervention programs on firefighters through a meta-analysis. Methods: Seven studies were selected for meta-analysis. The overall average effect size, effect sizes for each intervention variables, and publication bias were analyzed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis(CMA) version 2.0 (Biostat, Englewood, NJ, USA). Results: Post-traumatic stress disorder intervention programs were found to have a very low, not statistically significant effect (effect size=-.171, confidence interval=-0.361~0.019, Z=-1.768, p>.05). However, these programs was less than 50 (effect size=-.622). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that further research on the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder intervention among firefighters is needed in order to develop more effective programs.
