  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the current status of the second year of application of Integrated Science and Science Laboratory Experiments, which are common courses of high school, and to explore suggestions for curriculum development in the future. To this end, the results of the survey of a total of 244 science-core and general high schools were compared with the survey result of 2018 school year. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted with nine science teachers of the focus group to discuss the current state of curriculum implementation. According to the results, as in the first year, most of the Integrated Science courses were implemented in 6-8 units, and in most schools the number of teachers in charge of Integrated Science per class were 3-4. In the teacher's focus group interview, teachers insisted that Integrated Science requires integrated teaching approaches and is good for generating students' interest, but it is difficult to implement process-based assessment due to issues such as ensuring fairness of assessment. Most of Science Laboratory Experiments courses were implemented in two semesters, one unit per semester, and there was little link between Integrated Science and Science Laboratory Experiments because of the different teaching staff. The school life record entry method of Science Laboratory Experiments has been changed to criterion-based assessment starting in 2019, so students' satisfaction or flow of classes is much better than expected, and teachers can teach without burden. Based on the research results, ways to support the settlement of Integrated Science and Science Laboratory Experiments as common subjects, and ways to improve those subjects in the next curriculum revision were suggested.

  • The purpose of this study is to identify determinants for preferred funeral methods depending on socio-economic characteristics. In South Korea, the Act on Funeral Services, Etc. categorizes funeral methods into burial, inurnment, and natural burial. This study empirically analyzes how and what socio-economic characteristics affect choices among these three categories. Data is collected from Social Survey 2017 and funeral facilities in the country. The data to be analyzed is developed in terms of a hierarchy which puts the burial and cremation methods in an upper class and the inurnment and natural burial methods in a lower class. Based on this data, a nested logit model is employed to conduct empirical analysis. The analysis indicates that those characteristics that have a statistically significant influence on preferred methods include gender, age, householder, marriage, satisfaction with life, class awareness, monthly income, housing type, housing tenure type, and living in city area. Each variable's modulus of calculated direct and cross elasticity need to be used to analyze the outcome of a nested logit model. In this study, the modulus of direct and cross elasticity are determined for the significant variables. The calculated direct elasticity is applied to analyze the likelihood of choosing each funeral method when there are changes in the significant variables. When a particular method has been selected, on the other hand, the cross elasticity is utilized to analyze changes to the likelihood of choosing the other methods. One of the most notable results is related to natural burial. In order to meet the demand for natural burial, it is necessary to provide more burial sites and raise awareness of natural burial. This will facilitate the efficient use of national territorial space.

  • This study investigated the status of kitchen of units in elderly housing facilities and the housing needs of residents. Compared with a lot of comprehensive and alternative studies on elderly housing facilities until now, specialized studies of behavior of elderly housing life and detailed dimensional study have hardly made. Therefore we intend to examine the status of kitchen planning on representative elderly housing facilities in Korea. As the methods of this study, we executed a field study into 4 representative elderly housing facilities in Korea. We visited each 2 units out of the outstanding 4facilities and surveyed the total 8 kitchens. Then we analyzed the space planning and kitchen furniture design of them and the state of kitchen commodities, and measured the kitchen equipment. In addition, we executed interview about satisfaction, preference, use from the residents. As a result, we could find out that depending on whether residents were sewed with meal offered from the facilities or not, the pattern of usage and commodities were quite different. It is necessary to supply the simplest spaces just for preparing some refreshment and tea are suitable. And for the self-cooking residents, much larger cabinets and utility rooms are additionally needed. Safety and functional aspect were quite well designed. Washing machines are usually built-in the kitchen cabinets, and residents are satisfied with this arrangement. We hope that the supplementary study about old people habit and behavior will be a good data of kitchen planning for Korean-type elderly housing units of facilities.
