In higher education, integration of technologies - particularly generative artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT - has become increasingly widespread, serving numerous purposes to its stakeholders. While users acknowledge the utility of technology, concerns have emerged regarding its misuses. The present study is designed to investigate authentic perspectives and opinions of college freshman students to critically address the relevant concerns, and suggest meaningful solutions. To this end, seven college freshman student participants were recruited in a four-days-long online questionnaire. Their responses indicated that the college student participants appear to find ChatGPT positive in terms of its practicality and usefulness. However, they also showed concerns about a few potential issues (i.e., possible plagiarism and copyright problems). With recommendations the student participants suggested to reduce the aforementioned problems, the article discusses implications of the findings, providing valuable insights into the balance between implementation of AI technologies and dealing with the associated challenges in higher education in general.

Objective: This study examined the code of ethics, which offers guidelines for early childhood teachers' ethical decisions and practices. Results and Conclusion: In the second section of this paper, the meaning of the code of ethics is reviewed. The issues of the code of ethics are also investigated to resolve moral and ethical dilemmas and to maintain high standards of professional conduct in early childhood care and education. In the third section of this paper, a comparison of the ethical codes in South Korea, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States is conducted. Based on the results raised in relation to the code of ethics principles and the results of comparing domestic and international ethics codes, the fourth section of this paper focuses on three topics in the current and future direction of the Korean code of ethics: (a) concreteness and clarity, (b) switching from the viewpoint of least harm to the viewpoint of maximum benefit, and (c) the range of benefits of the code of ethics. Then, including the existence of the last two codes of ethics, we discuss the direction of future difficulties currently associated with the situation in Korea.

This study started from a critical review of the current problem of ethics education in engineering colleges, how it has become stereotyped and perfunctory and hence, is failing to properly foster engineers with a sense of responsibility. Existing engineering ethics education occupies a very limited role and weight in the periphery of the engineering curriculum, unable to hold a central position. This situation is of grave concern, especially when the leadership of engineers with social and professional responsibility is of great importance. Therefore, this study explored new directions and strategies for engineering ethics education while reviewing domestic and foreign studies dealing with the current status and problems of engineering ethics education. First, this study discussed the need for and direction of shifting to ethical engineering education instead of ethics education centered on liberal arts courses. Second, this study presented specific practical strategies to construct the ethical engineering curriculum. For example, it is necessary to establish the ethical engineering curriculum with an education linking ethics with human development goals, ethics education using Korea's current issues and agendas, micro- and macro-level analysis related to engineering, and leadership education.

Purpose: This study attempted to analyze problems of informed consent in the clinical setting and appraise ethical aspects inherent in such issues in order to boost awareness of informed consent and its implementation among healthcare professionals. Methods: Study methods included identifying ethical meanings of informed consent in the clinical setting based on the principal ethics, and exploring the process of informed consent utilizing communicative ethics and feminine care ethics Results: The ethical basis of informed consent encompasses not only respect for autonomy but also prohibiting malice, practicing beneficience, and establishing justice. These principles, however, are limited in illustrating the ethical aspects of communicative ethics and care ethics that are entailed in informed consent within clinical settings. The ethical meaning of informed consent involves a communicative and caring process between healthcare professionals, patients, and family built on mutual respect. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals must fully understand the ethical meanings of informed consent and in turn respect and protect the clients' right to know and making decisions. Nurses especially, must take on the role of mediator and advocate throughout the process of obtaining informed consent, and practice ethical caring by facilitating communication grounded in mutual understanding among the physician, patient, and family members.

본 논문은 신경윤리의 철학적 의미와 인지 패러다임 안에서의 독자적 위치를 검토하고, 신경윤리의 쟁점들을 고찰하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 뇌과학의 발전은 인간 정신에 대한 보다 직접적인 탐구와 개입을 가능하게 하여 전통적인 물질과 정신의 경계를 약화시키고, 인간 본성에 대한 새로운 철학적 질문들을 제기한다. 신경윤리는 기존 법적, 사회적 체계에서 포괄하기 어려운 뇌과학과 관련된 윤리적 문제들을 다루기 위하여 학제적이고 통합적 관점을 취한다. 신경윤리의 쟁점들 중에는 일부 고전적 생명윤리 쟁점과 겹치는 부분도 있지만 뇌과학과의 관련성 안에서만 특수하게 발견할 수 있는 문제들이 더 많다. 신경윤리의 고유 쟁점은 대체로 두뇌활동의 관찰과 복호화를 통한 마음읽기와 두뇌활동에 대한 개입을 통한 인지향상과 관련되어 있는데, 이러한 문제들을 다루기 위해서는 생명윤리 하위 분야를 넘어서는 독자적 분야로서의 신경 윤리가 필요하다는 주장도 제기되고 있다. 최근 뇌과학 연구 동향과 발전 단계를 고려할 때, 국내에서도 본격적인 신경윤리 논의와 관련 분야 전문가들의 협력을 시작할 필요가 있다.

The purpose of this study was to examine how an undergraduate family diversity course supported students to enhance undergraduate students' understanding of diversity issues and cultural competence that are necessary to work with diverse families and children as future family science professionals. We collected qualitative research data from 108 students who were enrolled in five sections of an undergraduate-level diversity course, Working with Diverse Families and Children , using nine open-ended questions. In the current study, we specifically focused on four questions in relevant to what undergraduate students learned and what they desired to learn more about diversity issues in families grounded in Hollinger's developmental model of ethical reflection. Using inductive and deductive iterative processes and triangulation, we conducted thematic analysis. Overall, our findings showed that undergraduate students understood the core concepts of diversity and cultural competence. However, they understood these issues at different stages of Hollinger's model of ethical reflection after taking the course. Most undergraduate students accomplished their cognitive and empathetic understanding of diversity and were primarily in Stages 1 and 2. We suggest interactive and reflective teaching strategies that may be effective for undergraduate students to challenge their own biases, practice ethical decision, and prepare for social actions as family science professionals.

본 연구는 COVID-19로 기술을 활용한 비대면 지역사회 돌봄서비스의 수요가 증가함에 따라 독거노인 돌봄에 있어 인간 중심의 IT 활용방안을 모색하기 위해 진행되었다. 전문가 대상 FGI를 통해 ICT 활용 돌봄서비스 현황, 전달체계의 문제, 윤리적 이슈를 확인하였다. IT를 활용한 서비스로 독거노인의 생활안전과 고독사 예방을 위한 보조기술인 '돌봄플러그'와 정서적 지지의 반려로봇이 활용되고 있었다. 전달체계 상의 문제로는 일상생활 지원을 위한 보조기술 활용에 대한 신뢰 부족, 공급자중심, 일률적 제공이라는 문제가 도출되었으며 대면서비스의 보조적 수단으로 활용되어야 하고 통제 가능하며 편이성이 담보되어야 할 필요성이 제시되었다. 인간중심의 IT 활용을 위한 윤리적 이슈로 '자기결정권의 보장', '사생활보호', '충분한 알권리의 보장', 그리고 '사각지대 포괄'의 이슈가 제시되었다. 연구 결과를 토대로 이용자 중심의 설계 필요성과 인간중심의 보조기술 활용을 위안 윤리지표의 필요성을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 사회보장정보시스템을 통한 데이터감시를 사례로, 사회복지영역의 정보화를 둘러싼 윤리적 쟁점들을 짚어보는 데 그 목적이 있다. 2015년 정부는 차세대 사회보장정보시스템을 개발하면서 정보시스템을 통한 부정수급 적발과 사각지대 발굴기능을 강화할 계획이라고 밝혔다. 그러나 부정수급과 사각지대를 조사하기 위해서는 취약계층에 대한 데이터감시가 불가피하다. 이에 본 논문은 데이터 감시를 둘러싼 논쟁들을 살펴보고, 이어서 사회보장정보시스템을 활용한 데이터감시가 어떤 윤리적 문제점을 안고 있는지 프라이버시, 정확성, 소유권, 접근성의 이슈를 중심으로 구체적으로 분석했다. 나아가 데이터감시를 넘어 정보화 시대에 사회복지가 고민해야할 본질적인 윤리적 딜레마들을 살펴본 후, 시론적 수준에서나마 윤리적 난제들을 개선하기 위한 방안을 제안해보고자 했다.
