The study reviews theoretical and empirical research literature in information needs, seeking and uses in order to search for the most pertinent metatheories for studying information practices of the disadvantaged. The study examines the salient features and main theories/models of each cognitive, affective and social approach in the user-centered paradigm through analyzing prior information practices studies. While analyzing the main features of each cognitive, affective and social approach, the study points out the limitation of research using the cognitive and affective approaches to fail to theorize the relationship between individuals and complex and dynamic socio-cultural contexts in information practices. As an alternative, the study suggests using the social approach as a pertinent metatheory for understanding information practices of the disadvantaged who are entangled with myriad social contexts and issues. In order to verify the pertinence, the study examines the advantages of the social approach through analyzing both the main models related to everyday information practices under social constructionism and the main findings from information practices of the disadvantaged.

This study examines the mobility of the disadvantaged population groups in terms of public transportation using the 2014 smart card data in Seoul, Korea. Particularly, we focus on the disadvantaged population such as senior group, junior group, and low-income population group. Based on the spatial distributions of public transportation mobility levels and the disadvantaged population groups, we identify specific areas where public transportation service should be improved for the disadvantaged population. As a result, we identify 15 administrative-dongs where the ratio of the disadvantaged population is high while the mobility index of public transit is low. The main contributions of this study are as follows. First, we use the smart card data which contains the information of actual trip made by individuals and develop the evaluation process of urban mobility for the disadvantaged population groups. Second, we identify the specific areas where public transportation service should be improved for the different group of the disadvantaged population. Lastly, we discuss policy implications to improve the urban mobility of the disadvantaged population.

This paper discusses the current situation of public libraries in Korea, from the viewpoint of Ranganathan's 'Five Laws of Library Science'. Public libraries have very rapidly grown in Korea in the past ten years. With an average growth rate of 5.8% per year, the number of public libraries reached to 703 in 2009, and the number of people served per library have gradually reduced every year, even if still far below other advanced countries. However, there are still some attempts to retrain people of their right to read whatever they want. In this paper, it is emphasized that in public libraries more attention and financial and strategic assistance should be given to the disadvantaged people, and the equal right to benefit from library services should be ensured. And the library as a growing organism should be balanced with the responsible library director, devoted librarians, and concerned people in the community.

Recently, Korea has implemented the compulsory employment system for the disabled. The compulsory employment system for the disabled is a system that imposes an obligation on the state-local governments, public institutions that employ 50 or more full-time workers, and business owners of private companies to employ more than a certain percentage of the disabled. Accordingly, the expected effects of compulsory employment of the socially disadvantaged, including the disabled, were investigated.

본 논문에서는 소외계층 초등정보영재를 위한 온라인 머신러닝 교육 프로그램을 개발하였다. 교육 프로그램은 초등정보영재 전문가가 개발하였으며, 인공지능 교육 전문가가 검증하였다. 교육 프로그램은 15차시로 구성하였으며, 인공지능에 대한 이해, 데이터 수집 및 표현, 모델 선택, 훈련, 평가, 실생활 사례 제작, 예측으로 내용을 구성하였다. 교육 프로그램에서 학습 모형은 이재호와 홍창의(2009)의 문제 중심형 e-PBL 학습 모형을 본 연구에 맞게 수정하여 활용하였다. 향후 연구에서는 개발한 교육 프로그램을 소외계층 초등 정보영재에 적용하고, 교육 프로그램을 통한 소외계층 초등정보 영재의 변화를 분석하고자 한다.

본 논문에서는 인공지능 교육에서 소외계층의 지원 방안을 도출하기 위하여 소외계층과 일반 학생의 인공지능 교육과 관련된 여러 요인의 실태를 조사하였다. 실태 조사 결과를 소외계층과 일반 학생을 비교하여, 소외계층의 인공지능 교육에서 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 연구를 위하여 인공지능 교육 관련 실태를 조사할 수 있는 설문을 구성하였으며, 온라인을 통해 설문을 진행하였다. 연구 결과, 소외계층 662명과 일반 학생 1,482명이 설문에 참여하였다. 소외계층은 일반 학생보다 인공지능에 대한 관심이 높았으며, 프로그램이 언어나 피지컬 컴퓨팅을 경험한 학생 비율이 높았다. 또한, 인공지능 직&·간접적 경험의 비율은 일반 학생과 비슷한 수준이었다. 하지만 인공지능 교육 경험 비율은 일반 학생이 약 20% 높았다. 이러한 내용을 종합하였을 때, 인공지능 교육에 대한 관심은 높지만, 인공지능 교육을 받는 학생의 비율은 낮은 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

일반 학생과 소외계층 학생은 컴퓨팅 기기에 대한 접근성은 큰 차이가 존재하지 않지만, 컴퓨팅 기기를 활용하는 역량에서는 큰 차이가 존재한다. 이러한 문제는 소외계층과 일반 학생 사이에 컴퓨팅 사고력 차이를 유발하였으며, 공교육에서 이루어지는 소프트웨어 교육의 효과 차이를 초래하였다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 소외계층의 컴퓨팅 사고력을 분석하는 연구를 진행하였다. 소외계층 학생을 대상으로 설문 조사를 진행하고, 설문 결과를 요인에 따라 분석하는 연구를 진행하였다. 연구 결과, 소외계층 학생은 학교급이나 성별에 따른 컴퓨팅 사고력의 차이는 존재하지 않았다. 반면에 경험한 프로그래밍 언어에 따른 컴퓨팅 사고력의 차이가 나타났다. 특히, 소외계층 학생은 프로그래밍 언어 경험이 많을수록 컴퓨팅 사고력이 높은 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Purposes: The purposes of this study are to describe the health problems experienced by VLBW premature infants and their health care services utilization during the first year of life Method: Eighteen mothers of VLBW premature infants completed a survey questionnaire, asking socioeconomic/demographic information, health/developmental problems experienced by their infants, and their use of health care services. Results: Of the 18 infants, 78% experienced respiratory problems such as cold/running nose and wheezing during the first year and 33% experienced gastrointestinal problems such as vomiting, diarrhea and constipation. Twelve (67%) infants visited the emergency department at least one time and 10 infants (56%) were hospitalized at least once during their first year of age. Interestingly, infants without chronic lung disease visited the emergency department more than infants without chronic lung disease (p=.213). Infants living in non-disadvantaged neighborhoods were hospitalized more than infants living in disadvantaged neighborhoods (p=.000). Conclusions: Health care providers should initiate educating mothers, particularly those living in disadvantaged neighborhoods, about post-NICU discharge health care needs of their VLBW premature infants while their infants were still in the NICU so that unnecessary visits to the emergency department and rehospitalizations can be possibly prevented.
