The purpose of this study was to explore North Korean immigrant elementary students' cognitive and affective characteristics related to science education. A total of 68 North Korean immigrant students enrolled in 3 to 6 grades and 133 South Korean students in 4 and 6 grades in 3 South Korean elementary schools participated in the study. A short version of Group Assessment of Logical Thinking(GALT) was used to investigate the students' levels of logical thinking, and the Enjoyment of Science Lessons Scale(ESLS) of the Test of Science Related Attitudes(TOSRA) was administrated to examine their attitudes towards science lessons. The statistical analysis of data revealed that the level of logical thinking of the North Korean immigrant elementary students was very low and that this was also the case for the South Korean students. Especially, the mean score of logical thinking of the North Korean immigrant 6 graders was much lower when compared with that of the South Korean counterparts. For both the North Korean immigrant students and South Korean students, the enjoyment of science lessons decreased as they progressed through higher grades. This decreasing trend, however, turned out to be more serious in the South Korean elementary students. Based on these results, suggestions were presented to help successful science learning of North Korean immigrant elementary students.

본 연구는 우리사회에서 불고 있는 조기유학 열풍에 대한 것으로 1990년대 중반 이후 조기 유학의 현황과 추이를 살펴보고, 이에 대한 선행연구들을 검토한 후 호주 한인 학생의 적응을 교민과 홀로 있는 조기유학생, 기러기가족의 경우 부모가 유학 또는 직장 파견으로 함께 가 있는 경우 등 네 집단의 한인 학생들의 학교생활 및 사회심리적 적응을 분석한 것이다. 본 연구는 2002년 6월과 7월 사이에 시드니 주정부 토요학교에 재학 중인 한국인 학생들과 시드니 성당 중고등부 학생에 대한 설문조사 자료를 분석하였다. 이 밖에도 토요학교 등에서 한국어를 가르치는 한국인 교사 31명에 대한 면담자료와 호주 시드니 지역의 이러한 학생들과 학부모를 관찰 및 면담한 자료도 배경자료로 활용하였다. 본 연구의 주요 발견은 학업, 학교활동 및 학업에 대한 열정, 외국인 친구 사귀기, 호주생활 전반적인 만족도 등에 있어서 유학생이 교민자녀 보다 적응정도가 낮은 편이며, 특히 홀로 있는 유학생의 적응도가 가장 낮다는 점이다. 이들을 가르치고 있는 한국인 선생님들도 어머니와 함께 또는 양부모와 함께 와 있는 경우보다 홀로와 있는 유학생의 경우에 실패율이 높다고 지적하고 있다.

Purpose: To describe the emergence of the North Texas Korean American Nurses Society (NTKANS) and to examine its sociocultural contributions to Korean immigrant societies in the U.S. for the last half century. Methods: The study used retrospective historical analysis to explore the first North Texas Korean immigrant nurses' footsteps. Using Christy's historical research methodology, this study explored themes found in the NTKANS Minutes, the directories, and newspapers, and compared them with historical nursing contexts found in documents, immigrant nurse's pictures, and letters. Interviews with twenty first immigrant Korean nurses, the members, were also use d as main data. Results: Since its emergence in 1969, the NTKANS have contributed to local Korean societies through community medical services, financial supports to local Korean associations, local publications, and opening Korean school. In addition, the society has contributed to the other Korean immigrant nursing societies in the U.S. Conclusion: The sociocultural contributions NTKANS had made to Korean immigrant societies were not possible without its members' enormous efforts, personal struggles, and altruistic dedications. The trials and tribulations these immigrant nurses have overcome and the achievements they made for last half century would greatly inspire students and nurses in Korea who may seek international leadership and scholarship.

This study aims to understand the experiences of highly educated married immigrant women from China, who hold a master's degree or higher, when selecting an elementary school for their children and to explore the significance of that experience. This study included eight participants, all of whom were married immigrant women who had resided in Korea for a minimum of five years. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, which were conducted over approximately one year, from June 2022 to August 2023. The study was approached as a case study. As a result of this study, the similarities between the cases were "choices based on charactercentered education and cultural convergence", "choices for the child's future and career", and "choices influenced by the primary caregiver's use of bilingualism". The differences observed in the cases appeared in "choices based on the balance between global education ideals and economic realities", "choices based on specialized curriculum content", and "choices based on connections to higher-level schools". This study is important, as it underscores the need to conduct various research initiatives on multinational immigrant women and their children. These findings suggest that the study can contribute to the development of multicultural policies that are grounded in the actual experiences and critical awareness of married Chinese immigrant women, who constitute a substantial part of Korean society.

The existence of Korean schools is one of the salient characteristics of Overseas Koreans. How do such schools for Korean immigrants' children try to construct Korean ethnic identity? Also, how is immigrant children's ethnic identity developed and reinforced by the education at those schools? This paper explores these questions based on an ethnographic research at a Korean school in Paris from September 2005 to December 2007. The cultural education for immigrant children at the Korean school has a tendency to emphasize the most exotic traits of Korean culture. And this emphasis on the unfamiliar elements of Korean culture doesn't seem to help to form the ethnic identity of Korean immigrants' children. Instead, the students appear to get the sense of being a member of Koreans more from the education outside of classroom such as scholastic events than in a classroom of a Korean school. That's because scholastic events allow them to play out some of the Korean culture in more inter-ethnic settings. Therefore, it can be concluded that ethnicity of immigrant children is rather developed in inter-ethnic social contexts than born with or taught in class.

본 연구는 우리나라 다문화수학수업의 실태를 파악을 위해 다문화학생이 포함되어 있는 초등학교와 중학교 수준의 수학수업을 관찰 분석하였다. 초등학교 수학수업의 경우 '학생들의 삶과 맥락화', '수학적 대화' 범주에서 양적 질적 분석결과 다문화수학교육의 준거에 부합하는 수업이 이루어지고 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 '교사의 긍정적인 기대'범주에서는 양적 분석 결과가 긍정적이었던 반면 질적 분석을 통해 다문화 학생에 대한 교사의 불평등한 신념과 태도를 확인할 수 있었다. 중학교 수학수업의 경우 모든 범주에서 다문화수학교육의 목표를 성취하기에 적합하지 않은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 연구 참여 교사들의 '다문화적 역량' 검사 결과는 수학교사가 다문화수학수업의 실천에 활용할 수 있는 자료와 교수법 등에 대한 연구와 지원이 필요함을 시사하였다.

본 연구는 다문화적 가정 배경을 지닌 이민자녀들의 한국학교에서의 교육적 경험을 심층적으로 조사하기 위하여 기획된 장기연구프로젝트의 일환으로서, 파일럿으로 실시된 기초조사연구이다. 본 연구를 통하여 연구자는 외국에서 태어나 한국으로 이민 오게 된 세 명의 이민자녀들을 연구 참여자로 선정하여 이들 세 학생이 본국과는 다른 문화적 사회적 맥락을 가진 한국에서 겪는 적응과정 및 경험, 장애 등을 질적 연구방법을 통해 살펴보고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 연구 참여자들의 목소리를 직접 반영하기 위하여 내러티브 탐구와 반구조화된 심층 면접기법을 사용하였다. 연구결과 이들 이민자녀들이 그들의 교육에서 가장 시급하게 느끼는 문제는 그들의 연령과 단계별 특성에 맞춘 보다 체계적인 언어교육 프로그램임을 알 수 있었다. 이들 이민자녀들도 한국에서 태어나고 자란 다문화적 가정배경을 가진 다문화가정자녀들과 마찬가지로 학업성취도와 교우관계, 그리고 미래 진로역시 한국어 습득능력과 밀접한 관계가 있기에 한국어 교육이 무엇보다 중요하다고 인지하고 있었다. 다만 이민자녀들의 경우에는 한국에서 태어나고 자란 다문화가정 자녀들과는 달리 입국하는 연령과 국적이 보다 다양하므로 이들의 보다 다양한 특성을 고려한 한국어 교육 프로그램이 시급하다는 지적이었다. 이와 같이 좀 더 차별화되고 체계화된 언어교육 시스템의 필요성과 함께 또 하나 시급한 문제로 언급된 사안은 이들 이민자녀 청소년들 개개인을 전인적 교육관점에서 바라보고 전인적 교육을 실시할 수 있는 대안교육학교들에 대한 지지가 필요하다는 것이었다. 본 연구는 아직 부모들의 국제재혼에 따라 한국으로 이주하게 된 이민자녀들에 관한 연구가 부족한 현실에서 이들 이민자녀들의 관점에서 그들의 목소리로 그들의 한국에서의 교육경험에 관해 알아보고 교육적 시사점을 찾고자 한 점에서 그 의의를 찾을 수 있다.

When globalizing Korean food, it is important to conduct regional consumer research before entering the market so that an effective market strategy can be developed. This study was conducted to compare the perceptions regarding Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Korean food between Swedish and Yugoslavian university students in $V{\ddot{a}}xj{\ddot{o}}$, Sweden, where regional market research is lacking. As immigration increases worldwide, comparison of consumer perceptions of immigrants and domestic individuals will provide meaningful insight for use in the development of marketing strategies for areas where immigrant populations are increasing rapidly. In this study, six attributes of Asian food, fresh vegetables, low fat, chicken and sea food, exotic ingredient, value for money and unknown food, were compared. The perception of fresh vegetables and low fat of Chinese food differed significantly among the two groups. Because both of these attributes are health related, these findings indicate that recipe modification may be necessary to adapt to the preferred taste of target customers in this prospective market.
