The purpose of the research undertaken for this paper was to demonstrate the effects of WBI on students' achievement and their reactions. WBI was adapted for use on the lesson Theme of Poems in Korean textbook for Middle School second graders. Hypothesis 1 was that there would be meaningful differences in students' achievement between the experimental group using WBI and the controlled group in a traditional instructive class. And the statistical calculations showed that the experimental group produced larger numbers in terms of both the average and standard deviation. Hypothesis 2 was that there would be the more highly rated outcomes from the experimental group applying WBI for students' interest, understanding, and concentration. The responses to a Questionnaire concerning stated items showed significant differences in favor of WBI class. Based on these analyses, this thesis represents an effort to potential application of WEI to learning of Poems, in light of research evidence that reveals its respective effect to further students' achievement and interest.

The purpose of the study was to explore the potential of the Cluster Analysis and the Community Analysis of Social Network Analyses family in job-task analysis for curriculum design. These two multivariate analysis techniques were expected to bring us relevant and scientific information as well as inspiration in investigating the structure and nature of job system, which are critical in developing relevant curriculum. To pursue the purpose mentioned above, qualitative and quantitative data were collected from "S" Corporate, a major large high-tech manufacturing company, and analyzed by relevant analytic procedures. Results indicate that there are discrepancies between formal job structures and actual ones. Following Community analysis showed that the presence of center-marginal structure along with clustering structure in the current job formation. Interpretations of the results of the study are provided in light of past research and additional data collected from the study. Implications of the study are also discussed along with suggestions for future research.

Social problems are coming to light due to the dysfunction which is caused by the improvement of ICT and the increasing information with computers and one of these problems is teenagers' computer toxicosis. In order to measure such an toxicosis, test paper that is developed by Kimberly S. Young is typically used. In this study, along with the test paper, localized Korean Internet addiction test (K-index) was used and the study was also made on the basis of such result. With results of sorting the data on the basis of K-index diagnosis criteria, it showed general users were 534 (64.8%), with potential risk users were 229 (27.8%) and high risk users were 61 (7.4%). This study was for the purpose of finding out sufficient and essential conditions ( outer behaviors ) of computer toxicosis for high risk users and searching for preventive measures for them.

This study focuses on a comprehensive set of potential determinants of teachers' attitude and efforts for preventing students' piracy of digital contents. The proposed model is based on the theory of reasoned action, developed by Ajzen and Fishbein. The model was tested using responses from 177 teachers. Partial least square method was used to analyze the results. The hypothesized model was largely supported by this analysis, and the overall results indicate that intention for preventing students' piracy of digital contents is mostly influenced by the attitude and the social influence. The perceived level of recognition as well as the punishment for digital contents piracy has also been found to have some direct and indirect impact on the intention. But, on the contrary to our expectation, the teachers' efficacy has no influence on either the attitude or intention. As a conclusion, the academic and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the needs of teachers as main users to make suggestions for active use of educational information sharing system. The study sets three research tasks about the problems of the current system, improvements, and desired content from the perspective of teachers. To collect specific opinions, we conducted an open questionnaire survey and made a qualitative analysis using the NVivo 10 program. The present system has such problems as functional issues, lack of data reliability, systemic problems for sharing and use. We suggest that in order to enhance Web site services, authoring tools for editing contents and new search engines with customized search function need to be provided. In addition, the open market service system has to be established, so that teachers can actively create, share, and distribute to meet the various needs of teachers. Finally, to promote free access to the system, copyright issues need to be resolved to prevent the potential digital piracy.

The purpose of this study was to investigate variables which have an influence on young children's peer interactions. The data of 966 4-year-old children and their parents and class teachers were extracted from the 5th Panel Study on Korean Children in 2012 by Korea Institute of Child Care and Education. The data were analyzed by means of ANOVA, Pearson's coefficient and multiple regression. The results were as follows: First, boys' play disruption and play disconnection were higher than girls', and girls' play interaction was higher than boys'. Second, sociability and activity of temperament, and teacher-child interaction were related to peer disruption. Third, teacher-child interaction and sociability of temperament significantly affected play interaction. Controlling parenting behavior of the mother was positively related to peer interaction in girls. Fourth, teacher-child interaction, sociability and emotionality of temperament significantly affected play disconnection. Social parenting behavior of the father was negatively related to play disconnection in boys. Lastly, teacher-child interaction was the clearest indicator for young children' peer interactions. These findings suggested a potential role of the teacher in young children's peer interactions.

A total of 448 male students(220 college-bound students, 228 vocational students) were surveyed through a self-administered questionnaire in Daegu from November to December 2003. This study aimed to identify the pattern in cigarette smoking according to personality type and related factors to smoking. Among respondents, $30.8\%$ of college-bound students and $69.3\%$ of vocational students have ever smoked. The rate of current smoking was $9.2\%$ in the college-bound students and $56.6\%$ in the vocational students. Smoking experience and current smoking status was significantly associated in psychotic personality in the college-bound students and in extroversive and psychotic personality in the vocational student group. The logistic regression analysis revealed that smoking of parents, siblings, and friends were significant variables on the current smoking in the college-bound students, and smoking of friends and extroversive and psychotic personality in the vocational students. As a results, this study suggest that those students who have the factors identified in this study regarded as having the potential to start smoking, and they can be subject to anti-smoking programs to help them quell their desire for smoking or delay.

Objectives: This study aims to examine the trends of mobile-health research in terms of community participation. Methods: A set of 24 peer-reviewed articles were identified for review. Two authors independently reviewed the articles using a literature review matrix and reexamined as a team. Review categories include: general characteristics, research methods, levels and ranges of community participation, and research topics. Results: Most of the articles were published in 2013-2014, including one domestic paper. Multidisciplinary approaches were used in 65% of the studies. Community participation was at low or mid-levels of Arnstein's participation model. In mobile-health research so far, the level of participation tends to improve as more diverse stakeholders participate in health promotion initiatives with mobile-health. The review yielded five types of mobile-health research for community health promotion: improving the quality of primary healthcare through the community health workers' capacity enhancement; improving the data collection capabilities; facilitating exchanges of community information and resources; reinforcing community identity; and monitoring physical environment of the communities. Conclusions: Although at an early stage of research development, application of mobile-health to community health promotion via participation has a potential. Multi-disciplinary approaches should be fostered for further development.

The purpose of this research was to find out relation between the attitudes toward work and leisure in later life and intention to move to senior community available to work among 50's in Seoul, Incheon, and Kyunggido. The same research questions would be revealed as the previous one done by Cho & Cho(2006). The data were the part of the survey collected from 556 respondents with questionnaire during November, 2002 by the Hong's research team(2004). The results of this study showed that most respondents were somewhat actively preparing toward work in later life and the level of preparation differed by the individual characteristics such as age, health and occupation. They preferred various work items specially managing facility center, raising animals and plants, and managing educating center, which were different from what current elderly workers were mainly involved in. Similarly to the work, most respondents cared for the kind of leisure activities to continue and saved money for the leisure expenses in later life. The better the economic conditions, the more actively prepared for leisure in later life. They were strongly expected to participate in public leisure facilities and programs for the elderly as a user, volunteer, and/or activist. Over two thirds of the respondents preferred to work and live together in later life and over two out of five had intention to move to the senior community available to work. The more active in work and/or leisure in later life, the higher intention to work together and/or to move to the community. Those results generally supported the previous research showed that the needs of work and leisure in later life would be increased and varied, therefor housing for the elderly should considered work space and program as well as leisure. The further study was suggested to focus on the potential and current residents in the sample case of the comprehensive welfare town for the elderly by local administration.

The heavy snowfall event over the eastern part of Seoul, Korea on Mar. 04, 2008 has been abruptly occurred after the frontal system with the heavy snowfall event had been past over the Korean peninsula on Mar. 03, 2008. Therefore, this heavy snowfall event couldn't be predicted well by any means of theoretical knowledges and models. After the cold front passed by, the cold air mass was flown over the peninsula immediately and became clear expectedly except the eastern part and southwestern part of peninsula with some large amount of snowfall. Even though the wide and intense massive cold anticyclone was expanded and enhanced by the lowest tropospheric baroclinicity over the Yellow Sea, but the intrusion and eastward movement of cold air to Seoul was too slow than normally predicted. Using the data of numerical model, satellite and radar images, three dimensional analysis Products(KLAPS : Korea Local Analysis and Prediction System) of the environmental conditions of this event such as temperature, equivalent potential temperature, wind, vertical circulation, divergence, moisture flux divergence and relative vorticity could be analyzed precisely. Through the analysis of this event, the formation and westward advection of lower cyclonic circulation with continuously horizontal movement of air into the eastern part of Seoul by the analyses of KLAPS fields have been affected by occurring the heavy snowfall event. As the predictability of abrupt snowfall event was very hard and dependent on not only the synoptic atmospheric circulation but also for mesoscale atmospheric circulation, the forecaster can be predicted well this event which may be occurred and developed within the very short time period using sequential satellite images and KLAPS products.
