The purpose of this study was to synthesize and interpret the findings of previous qualitative studies that investigated the lived experiences of Korean emerging adults who aged out of the foster care system. Based on our selection criteria, we extracted and analyzed 14 papers that were published between 2010 to 2023. Our meta-synthesis found that the emerging adults' life world consisted of seven domains: family experience, life tasks, education and work, financial issues, home and family, interpersonal relationships, and psychological and emotional issues. We restructured the emerging adults' lived experiences using van Manen's concepts of lived time, lived space, lived things, lived self-other, and lived body. Our meta-synthesis revealed that these emerging adults experienced multidimensional difficulties due to shortcomings of formal and informal social support after aging out of the foster care system. Their difficulties accumulated in their interaction with lived time. Based on the level of their accumulated difficulties, we categorized the emerging adults into stable, struggling, and isolated groups. However, it is important to note that many of them adapted to their own life world and strived to move forward. This qualitative meta-synthesis provides a comprehensive understanding and new interpretation of emerging adults who transition from foster care to independent living in the context of Korea.

This study aims to examine individual perceptions and lived experiences of the Net generation of student teachers and the previous generation of teachers about their technology use in education. The participants of this study include 106 pre-service teachers and 50 in-service teachers from one teacher education university in Korea. Employing a mixed methodology, we first empirically examined the participants' perceptions toward multiple variables related to technology use in education, namely (a) past ICT experiences in schools, (b) personal computer use, (c) constructivist belief, (d) computer efficacy, (e) attitude toward computer in education, and (f) prospective computer use. In addition, we conducted face-to-face interviews with selected participants for the in-depth investigation of their lived experiences about technology use, beliefs, and attitude. Results indicate that there are significant differences between in-service and pre-service teachers in their prior experiences with technology in schools. However, the pre-service and in-service teachers did not differ significantly in their beliefs, attitude and other technology-related variables, which may indicate the danger of generational determinism in the Net Generation debate. The analysis of interview narratives revealed two major themes about the interplay of one's agency and structural changes in the participants' lived experiences with technology use in education: (a) transition from negative past experiences to opportunities for positive computer use, and (b) attitudes formation and change through apprenticeship experiences and structural influences. In conclusion, this study suggests that the Net Generation debate should move beyond dichotomous or techno-centric thinking. There is a critical need to pay more attention to develop deeper understandings of the fundamental diversity existing within the generation itself. Implications for teacher education are also discussed.

Purpose: This study was done to explore the lived experiences in older Korean women with early stage of Parkinson's disease. The research question was "What is the meaning and nature of the older women's experiences who were diagnosed with Parkinson's disease?" Methods: In this study, we adopted van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenological approach to find the lived experiences of older women diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Six older women diagnosed with Parkinson's disease within five years participated, and data were collected through in-depth interviews. Results: Five fundamental lifeworld themes and seven subthemes emerged from the data. The first theme of corporeality had three subthemes: 'being shocked by an unexpected diagnosis', 'fewer things can be done due to the illness' and 'lost my prettiness'. The second theme representing relationality was 'hiding the illness because of others' whispering'. The temporality theme was 'fear of symptom aggravation'. The spatiality theme was 'being placed in a blind spot of information'. The last existential theme of material had 'obsession with drugs'. Conclusion: The results of this study provide an in-depth understanding of older womens experiences of living with Parkinson's disease. The findings can help develop interventions specific to these group of women to provide sufficient emotional support and accurate information.

이 연구는 중년기 뇌졸중 발병 후, 장애인으로 사는 삶의 경험을 탐색하고자 한 것이다. 이를 위해 van Manen의 해석학적 현상학 방법을 활용하여, 내부자 관점으로 그들의 삶을 이해해보고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 본질적 주제는 '반동강 난 삶', '단절과 고립', '거듭나는 삶', '재발의 두려움에 짓눌림', '가족의 울타리로 버텨냄'인 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해, 중년기 뇌졸중 발병의 경험은 '가족을 지켜내야하는 삶에 드리워진 재발의 그림자'로 맥락화 하였다. 이 연구는 중년기 뇌졸중 장애인의 삶의 본질과 그 의미를 규명함으로써 이들에 대한 실천적 개입의 기초자료를 마련하고 있다.

이 연구의 목적은 정규학위 과정의 온라인대학에 다니는 노인학습자들의 삶의 경험을 묘사하고 이해하는 것으로 질적 연구방법론을 적용하여 노인학습자들이 대학에서의 학업에 대해 해석하고 의미하는 바를 고찰하였다. 자료는 사이버대학에 입학하여 학업을 수행하고 있는 서울과 수도권 지역에 거주하는 10명의 노인들과의 심층면접을 통해 수집되었다. 사이버대학에서의 노인학습자들의 학업경험에 대한 분석 결과 과거의 자아, 관행 깨뜨리기, 새롭게 도전하기, 자기실현을 얻기, 새로운 정체성으로 통합됨, 미래지향적 자아라는 6개의 중심주제가 파악되었다. 결론적으로 참여자들은 온라인대학에서의 학업의 경험을 통해 과거지향적인 자아감에서 더욱 긍정적이고 미래지형적인 자아감으로 변화한 것으로 나타났다.
