  • The aim of this study was to identify students' views on the orientation of science and to investigate the relationship between their views and decision-making on socio-scientific issues (SSI). In this study, 27 university students attending a science course were asked to discuss four controversial issues: the Toyota recall, the green car, the global warming and swine influenza (influenza A (H1N1)). The study was comprised of two stages. At the first stage, we examined students' views on the nature of science and on the orientation of science with the open-ended questionnaire based on VNOS and VOSTS. While they held relatively similar views on the nature of science, their views on the orientation of science were distinct as pragmatic, intrinsic, communal and ethical views. At the second stage, to examine the role of their views on the orientation of science in decision-making, we selected four students who had similar views on NOS but different views on the orientation of science. The four students were selected from each group of views on the orientation of science and their decision-making processes were analyzed following grounded theory. Across SSIs, they relied upon their views on the orientation of science as the strategies for decision, though considered different perception, and causal and contextual conditions. This study indicates that understanding students' views on the orientation of science would be helpful for achieving scientific literacy for informed decision.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate moral reasoning among 77 senior medical students. Data were collected through selfreported questionnaires in June, 1995. The short form of the DIT (Rest's Defining Issues Test) was adopted to measure the stage of moral development, which was classified with the stage 2(instrumental relativist orientation), the stage 3(interpersonal concordance), the stage 4(law and order), the stage 5A(societal consensus), and the stage 5B(intuitional humanism), stage 6(universal ethical practice). In particular, the level of principled thinking(P) was measured by summing those scores of the stages 5A, 5B, and 6. The possible range of P is O to 95. The data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA. The results were as follows. 1. The mean score of P(%) was 44.67 (SD=12.82). And the mean score of the stage 5A was higher than the scores of other stages. The mean score of P was not significantly different by general characteristics of the students. 2. The mean score of the stage 5B revealed significant difference by religion (3.17, P=.019) ; The score was highest in buddhist (8.0), which was followed by protestant (6.1), catholic (5.6) and no religion (4.7). 3. The mean score of the stage 4 revealed significant difference by educational background of mother (3.24, P=.017) ; the Score was highest in graduate school (25.0), which was followed by high school (14.1), under-graduate school (13.9), elementary school (12.4), middle school (8.3).

  • 본 논문은 최근 큰 반향을 일으키고 있는 생성형 인공지능 ChatGPT를 연구용으로 사용할 때 고려해야 할 연구윤리의 내용을 살펴본다. ChatGPT와 연구윤리를 직접 연결하는 논의가 많지 않기 때문에, 먼저 연구윤리의 전통적인 주제인 인용과 표절, 위조와 변조, 정당한 저자표기, 연구자 공동체, 연구자의 사회적 책임 등을 차례로 ChatGPT 사용과 연결하여 검토할 것이다. 연구윤리에서 인용이나 정당한 저자 표기를 강조하고 표절이 문제가 되는 원리를 고려할 때, ChatGPT 관련 논의를 허용과 불허, 적발과 처벌의 관점에서만 보는 것은 부적절하고, 기존의 규칙들이 ChatGPT의 작동 방식에 제기하는 근본문제를 직시해야 한다. 이에 따라 연구 목적을 위해서 ChatGPT를 쓸 때에는 일단 그 사실을 최대한 밝히고, 그럼에도 불구하고 해결할 수 없는 문제가 있음을 인식해야 한다. ChatGPT의 장기적인 사용이 연구자 공동체에 미칠 영향과 연구자의 사회적 책임에 대해서도 고민해야 할 부분이 많다. 물론 ChatGPT를 비롯한 생성형 인공지능 기술이 아직 개발 초기 단계에 있는 만큼, 섣부른 결론을 내리는 것은 적절하지 않다. 그러나 신기술과 관련한 연구윤리에 대한 관심이 절실하고, 동시에 ChatGPT와 인공지능 기술의 도래로 근본적인 도전에 직면한 연구의 정의에 대한 연구자들의 논의와 합의가 시도되어야 한다.

  • Sustainability has been a big issue over the whole global industry lately and is an important fashion trend that reflects the modern phase of the time. The concept of sustainable fashion includes physical fashion products made from eco-friendly or recycle materials as well as ethical value such as corporate social responsibility for environment, labor or working condition. Fashion companies of advanced countries who are aware of the geo-environmental and ethical issues found that generating profits by setting trends and pursuing external beauty can no longer be the ultimate goal of fashion companies, and started to recognize the importance of sustainable fashion as a future-oriented trend. Not only fashion industry but also governments of advanced countries have been playing a leading role to educate the people regarding the importance of sustainable fashion and making large investments to foster industry specialists in educational institution. The aim of this study is to propose sustainable fashion design education program that fits the domestic university curriculum and government-leading education program in order to set the foundation for sustainable fashion industry. Thus, this study investigates successful cases of foreign government-led sustainable fashion education that can be introduced to improve domestic sustainable fashion education. The empirical study of the research is developing 12-15 week university level education program to foster specialists in sustainable fashion. The survey carried out by the students who participated in the program shows the change of perception on sustainable fashion. Developed university level program can be spread to municipal corporation, school of continuing education, and etc. in order to derive participation and problem perception of the citizens on sustainability. Developing systemized sustainable fashion design education program would be the first step of sustainable fashion by educating students who will take the leading role in the future fashion industry. Moreover, it can strongly influence future customer education as well as a special education inducing interest on sustainability in everyday life. A follow-up study is expected to serve as a foundation for sustainable fashion to take root successfully in the fashion industry.

  • 중소기업의 사회적 책임에 대한 문제들을 이해하기 위해서는 단순히 대기업의 사회적 책임활동을 중소기업에 적용시키기 보다는 중소기업의 규모와 환경 등 대기업과는 다른 중소기업만의 특성을 고려하여 접근할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 소비자들이 국내 중소기업에 기대하는 사회적 책임활동의 하위차원별(경제적 책임, 법적 책임, 윤리적 책임, 자선적 책임) 기대수준에 비해 실제 중소기업의 사회적 책임활동의 불일치 정도가 해당 중소기업의 이미지 및 구매의도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 그 연구결과에 의하면, 중소기업의 사회적 책임활동에 대한 불일치 요인 중 경제적 및 자선적 책임 요인은 기업이미지 및 기업이미지를 매개한 구매의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난 반면, 법적 및 윤리적 책임 요인은 기업이미지와 구매의도에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

  • 이 논문에서는 과학기술학의 연구성과를 바탕으로 과학기술의 윤리적 측면에 대한 기존의 논의를 보완하거나 새로운 논점을 제기함으로써 과학기술자의 사회적 책임에 관한 체계적인 기획을 시도하였다. 첫째, 과학기술자의 사회적 책임에 관한 객관적 조건으로서 과학과 기술이 제도화되면서 사회와 긴밀한 관계를 형성하고 있다는 점을 지적하였다. 둘째, 과학기술의 공공성을 부각시킴으로써 기존의 전문직업인으로서의 과학기술자에 대한 논의를 보완하였다. 셋째, 과학기술자의 윤리적 갈등을 몇 개의 유형으로 분류한 후 관련된 사회집단을 포괄적으로 고려하면서 윤리적으로 수용가능한 대안을 모색해야 한다는 점을 지적하였다. 넷째, 과학기술자의 사회적 책임을 강화하기 위한 과제로서 부도덕한 행위에 관한 문제제기, 전문가적 증인의 역할 수행, 과학기술단체의 윤리강령 제정, 과학기술윤리교육의 강화를 제안하였다. 이러한 논의는 사회적 중요성이 점점 증대하고 있는 과학기술자가 자신의 활동을 보다 거시적 맥락에서 살펴볼 수 있는 매개체로 작용할 수 있다.

  • Unprecedented amount of genetic information being generated from the result of Human Genome Project (HGP) and advances in genetic research is already forcing changes in the paradigm of health and disease. The ultimate goal of genetic medicine is to use genetic information and technology to develop new ways of treatment or even prevention of the disease on an individual level for 'personalized medicine'. Genetics is play ing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis, monitoring and management of common multifactorial diseases in addition to rare single-gene disorders. While wide range of genetic testing have provided benefits to patients and family, uncertainties surrounding test interpretation, the current lack of available medical options for the diseases, and risks for discrimination and social stigmatization may remain to be resolved. However an increasing number of genetic tests are becoming commercially available, including direct to consumer genetic testing, yet public is often unaw are of their clinical and social implications. The personal nature of information generated by a genetic test, its power to affect major life decisions and family members, and its potential misuse raise important ethical considerations. Therefore appropriate genetic counseling is needed for patient to be informed with the benefits, limitations and risks of genetic tests, prior to informed consent for the tests. Physician also should be familiar with the legal and ethical issues involved in genetic testing to tell patients how w ell a particular genetic risk factor relates with likelihood of disease, and be able to provide appropriate genetic counseling. Genetic counseling become a mandatory requirement as global standard for many genetic testing such as prenatal diagnosis, presymtomatic DNA diagnostic tests and cancer susceptibility gene test for familial cancer syndrome. In oder to meet the challenge of genetic medicine of 21 century in korean health care system, professional education program and certification board for medical genetics specialist including non-MD genetic counselors should be addressed by medical society and regulatory policy of national health insurance reimbursement for genetic counseling to be in place to promote the implementation of clinical genetic service including genetic counseling for proper genetic testing.

  • Background: From 2018 to 2020, the Expert Study on Public Understanding after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident (the Expert Study Group) identified and analyzed activities designed to promote public understanding of science and radiation since the Fukushima accident, and held discussions on how to achieve public understanding in the situation where public confidence has been lost, and how experts should prepare for dealing with the public. This panel session was held at the 53rd meeting of the Japan Health Physics Society on June 30, 2020. Materials and Methods: First, three subgroup (SG) leaders reported their research methods and results. Then, two designated speakers, who participated as observers of the Expert Study Group, commented on the activities. Next, the five speakers held a panel discussion. Finally, the rapporteur summarized. Results and Discussion: SG leaders presented reports from researchers and practitioners in health physics and environmental risks who provided information after the Fukushima accident. During the discussion, experts in sociology and ethics discussed the issues, focusing on the overall goals of the three groups, local (personal) and mass communication, and ethical values. Many of the activities instituted by the experts after the accident were aimed at public understanding of science (that is, to provide knowledge to residents), but by taking into account interactions with residents and their ethical norms, the experts shifted to supporting the residents' decision-making through public engagement. The need to consider both content and channels is well known in the field of health communication, and overlaps with the above discussion. Conclusion: How to implement and promote the public engagement in society was discussed in both the floor and designated discussions. Cooperation between local communities and organizations that have already gained trust is also necessary in order to develop relationships with local residents in normal times, to establish an information transmission system, and to make it work effectively.

  • With the popularization and application of artificial intelligence technology in daily life, new ethical and moral problems constantly appear in human society. These ethical and moral problems have been associated with people's moral behavior and have become crucial issues. In traditional social situations, researches have proved that moral intensity affects people's moral behavior. However, in the context of applying artificial intelligence technology, the mechanism between moral intensity and moral behavior is unknown. Therefore, this study focuses on the relationship between moral intensity and moral behavior in the context of applying artificial intelligence technology, and introduces a new concept - technology moral sense (TMS) into the theoretical model. Research method: We set various situations of applying artificial intelligence technology and adopt the situational experiment method to analyze the relationship between moral intensity and moral behavior in different application scenarios. The results show that moral intensity has a significant influence on moral behavior, while the technology moral sense performs a mediating function.
