The purpose of this study was to classified as the degree of the delinquency and to make clear the differences of adolescents' clothing attitude, clothing regulation attitude according to their delinquency and demographic variables. The results are as follows: First, Delinquency was classified as revolt, breakage and violence, status and property; according to the degree of the delinquency, subjects were categorized as delinquent, middle and exemplary groups. Second, the clothing conformity and clothing importance were higher in delinquent and middle than exemplary group; individuality, fashion and refusal against clothing regulation were most regarded by delinquent group, and followed by and middle and exemplary groups, meanwhile, the reverse was the case for modesty. Third, schoolgirls were more regarded the conformity, individuality, fashion and clothing importance and higher the refusal against clothing regulation than schoolboys; there was no significant difference between both sexes in modesty, and schoolgirls in delinquent group were more fiercely refused the clothing regulation than schoolboys in same group. The better a student did at school, the higher the modesty was and the lower the fashion and refusal against clothing regulation were. The higher a student belonged to a social status, the more he/she regarded the individuality importantly. While exemplary student who belonged to a high social status tended to pursue the individuality regardless his/her degree of delinquency, as for the student who belonged to middle or below social status, the higher the degree of delinquency was, the more he/she regarded the individuality. Besides, delinquent students who belonged to middle or below social status were more sensitive in fashion than those to higher social status.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the needs of middle school students for the practical reasoning in a distance learning environment, to verify the needs differences based on the learner's personal characteristics, student-teacher interaction, and student-student interaction, and to investigate the relationships among student-teacher interaction, voluntary participation of students, and the students' perception of the extent to which practical reasoning is implemented in distance learning. For this purpose, 1,842 middle school students from seven schools in Gyeonggi, Daejeon, Chungbuk, and Sejong areas were surveyed online to investigate the importance of the practical reasoning questions and the how much practical reasoning is implemented in current distance learning. Among them, 1,095 responses were used for final analysis and descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, and path analysis were conducted. As a result of the study, first, middle school students acknowledged that the practical reasoning was important with the importance average 3.76. Based on the locus for focus model, the priorities of the needs in home economics class were examined, and the values and importance of the problem, and the ramification of the solution were considered to be of high priority. Second, characteristics of middle school students, student-teacher interaction and student-student interaction were found to have positive influence on needs for practical reasoning, while no difference were found by gender or voluntary participation in distance learning. Third, the voluntary participation of students and the student-teacher interaction in distance learning had a positive (+) significant effect on perceived implementation of practical reasoning, yet negative (-) significant effect on needs for practical reasoning.

Most middle school and high school students learns under the same study plans and educational courses. Such an equal level education policies prevent the science-gifted from developing and promoting their ability. So it is severely necessary to sort out the gifted in science and make them develop their ability. In this paper, the attitudes of teachers and parents toward the science-gifted student in middle school were investigated as well as the characteristics of the gifted. One hundred science teachers of middle school who recommended the gifted in science and their parents in Seoul area were questionnaired. The follows are the consequences of investigation. 1. Most teachers and parents of the gifted considered that the school should do a special care for the gifted in science. That is, they prefer the enrichment course to the acceleration course for it. 2. The teachers play the role of motivating the study and promotion very well, but do not well as either the advisor or the cooperator with the parents because of their excessive work and lack of professional knowledgement about education of the gifted. 3. The parents play the role of the advisor or the counselor well, but do not well as the cooperator with school. 4. Among the characteristics of the gifted, there are not any differences between boys and girls in conduct characteristics. But there are meaningful difference in emotion characteristics. 5. The education of the gifted is very important for developing of country and personal promotion. So the administrative and financial support are necessary in order to sort out the gifted in science earlier and provide various programs.

This study analyzed each process of demand analysis(A), design(D), development(D), implementation(I) and evaluation(E) of the program to support mathematics learning of students with under-achievement of math in high school. To analyze the demand, a survey was conducted on 235 high school math teachers and 334 high school students who were under-achieved in mathematics. To design and develope the program, this study linked middle school math to high school math so that the students with poor math learning could easily participate in mathematics learning. The programs developed in this study were implemented in three high schools, where separate classes were organized and run for students with poor math learning. The evaluation of the programs developed in this study was done in two ways. One was a quantitative evaluation conducted by five experts, and the other was a qualitative evaluation conducted through interviews with teachers and students participating in the program. This study found that students with poor mathematics learning were more motivated to learn, started to do mathematics, and encouraged to be confident when using learning materials that included easy problems and detailed solutions that they could solve themselves. From these results, the following three implications can be derived in developing a program to support students who are experiencing poor mathematics learning in high school. First, we should develop learning materials that link middle school mathematics to high school mathematics so that students can supplement middle school mathematics related to high school mathematics. Second, we need to develop learning materials that include detailed solutions to basic examples and include homogeneous problems that can be solved while looking at the basic example's solution process. Third, we should avoid the challenge of asking students who are under-achieving to respond too openly.

Background: The tuberculin skin test (TST) has limitations in diagnosing a latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). The interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) was introduced to middle- and high-school students since 2009 by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The aim was to evaluate the utility of IGRA in diagnosing LTBI in middle- and high-school students. Methods: From August 2007 to July 2009, among suspected LTBI students showing TST induration with a 10 mm diameter and over with a normal chest x-ray in school students of Jeju city, 341 students underwent a Quanti FERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-IT) test to confirm LTBI. Results: From 348 students showing a positive TST, a QFT-IT test was carried out on 341 students. The positive QFT-IT rate was 52.8% (=180/341). The positive QFT-IT rate was higher in high-school boys with a 15~19 mm diameter of induration in TST. Conclusion: With the introduction of IGRA for diagnosing LTBI in middle- and high-school students, approximately 47% of students who show a TST induration with a 10 mm diameter and over can avoid taking unnecessary preventive chemotherapy. These results suggest that IGRA is useful for diagnosing and controlling LTBI in Korean students.

Based on Perceptions about Mathematics Teachers (PMT) perceived by high school students, measured by 2189 students from Seoul Educational Longitudinal Study 2014 (SELS 2014), latent profile analysis (LPA) identified five distinct types of student groups (positive, partial positive, middle, negative, extreme negative). These student of positive, middle, and negative groups are positive, moderate and negative perceptions about math teachers. Partial positive group generally had a positive perception about mathematics teachers, extremely negative group was very negative about mathematics teachers. Both of these groups had peculiarly inconsistent trends and several anomalies. The Multinomial logistic regression analyses also indicated that individual factors (gender, major, self-concept, resilience, self-assessment, career maturity), school factors (friendship, relationship with school teachers) and parental factors (academic-relationship, emotional-relationship) were significant predictors of PMT profile groups. The Analysis of variance also indicated that mathematics class (attitude, satisfaction and atmosphere), Mathematics achievement were significant predictors of PMT profile groups. The profiling of perceptions about mathematics teachers resulted in enhanced understanding of the complex range of processes students employed. During mathematics class, implementation of smooth interactions and communications between students and teachers added in the teaching and learning of mathematics.
