This study started from the need to change the technocentric view of environment into the ecocentric one to overcome ecological crisis today. Thus, the purposes of this study are to reorganize characteristics of ecocentrism, to analyze ecocentrism of Native North Americans as a realistic model, and to finally find suggestions to environmental education. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; Frist, the ecocentric perception on relationship between human beings and nature pursues co-existence through harmony and balance based on holistic understandings. And the ecocentric perception on relationship among human beings attempts to preserve environment by overcoming rule structure among them. The ecocentric perception on relationship between human beings and spirituality is to set life goals to achieve spirituality rather than to pursue material life. Second, Native North Americans have a holistic world view that human beings and nature are an inseparable one through the symbol of 'the Sacred Circle'. They also lived simple lives which satisfies vital needs instead of pursuing material lives in terms of the perception on relationship among human beings. When it comes to the perception on relationship between human beings and spirituality, they feel sacredness from all things in daily life and want to have peaceful relationships with their own inside through spirituality toward 'Mother Earth'. Third, the ecocentrism of Native North Americans make suggestions that environmental education confirm again what roles of human beings are in ecosystem, and that it helps students develop ecological sensitivity by giving them many opportunities to go to field trips. Furthermore, environmental education helps them positively think about and actively choose simple life. In addition, it has to be designed to help students seek sacredness in daily life through ecological imagination. This study has values of newly organizing characteristics of each ecocentric idea by integrating it from complementary aspects, and pursuing direction of ecocentrism and its realistic possibility by analyzing the ecocentrism of Native North Americans as a model of ecological life.

This study dealt with an issue of teaching Korean as a foreign language in North Korea through textbook analysis. The literature in this field has been quite rare compared to that in other fields in Korean language education, which is due to the adverse circumstances under which research into North Korea is currently carried out. The textbooks analyzed were 조선말회화(1) and 조선말회화(3) and the two learners who had studied Korean with these textbooks were interviewed. The main results show that (a) the grammar points in each chapter are unevenly distributed in 조선말회화(1), which makes it not look learner-centered; (b) each chapter in 조선말회화(1) is composed of speech acts, topics and situations, which renders it useful to its learners; (c) 조선말회화(3) emphasizes Korean oral discoursal features as a conversational textbook; and (d) 조선말회화(3) also covers much of reading comprehension-focused contents, which its learners may find burdensome. Foreseeing a possibility of teaching Korean as a foreign language in a reunified Korea makes it critical to carry out research into teaching Korean as a foreign language in North Korea. This calls for future collaborative research into this issue between two Koreas.

The government of South Korea and its medical personnel must make a way by which health professionals who have escaped from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) can play a positive and practical role in unification and south-north medical unification while south-north authority talks on DPRK public health and medicine manpower development are not going smoothly. Medical personnel escaped from the DPRK have to be recruited for the interviewer of the national examination, to improve the accuracy of national examination interviews. For those medical professionals who have escaped from the DPRK with 6 years' medical college education, but failed the interview on the national examination, we propose here a course of 3.6 months for them to have a right to apply the Korean Medical Licensing Examinations (KMLE). We also propose that medical professionals who have escaped from the DPRK who have graduated from a 6-year medical college in the DPRK and who are medical doctors over the fifth grade or with more than 6 years of experience can be qualified as unification medical doctors and be exempted from the KMLE, getting the right to go directly into an internship and residency. They should be permitted to work in manpower development projects for the health professions. They should also be given opportunities such as to become psychiatrists who treat the mental illness of persons escaped from the DPRK and people from North Korea after unification. Medical students in South Korea should earn college credits on the topic of medical unification and not only students, but all South Korean medical personnel, should prepare for north-south medical unification with an open mind. A way for each medical college to participate in DPRK manpower development for the health professions through a memorandum of understanding between the medical colleges of the south and north.

Line graphs are powerful tools in conveying complicated relationships and ideas because line graphs show the relationship that exists between two continuous variables. Also, line graphs can show readers the variations in variables and correlate two variables in a two dimensional space. For these reasons, line graphs have a significant role in physics, especially kinematics. To what extent are Korean college and secondary students able to understand kinematics graphs? Is there a difference between American students and Korean students in interpreting kinematics graphs? The TUG-K instrument (Test of Understanding Graphs in Kinematics) was administered to students in both countries. The results show the difference between American students and Korean students by TUG-K objective. Also, the results are discussed in terms of a graph comprehension theory.

Purpose: This descriptive study was conducted to identify the attitudes of nursing college students to North Korean refugees (NKR) and to examine factors influencing these attitudes. Methods: A total of 195 participants completed a structured questionnaire between September and October 2016. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 program. Results: The results of this study were as follows: attitudes toward NKR was 2.74 out of 4 points; cultural receptivity was 3.25 out of 5 points; nationalism was 2.46 out of 4 points. Cultural receptivity (r=.26, p<.001) and nationalism (r=-.18, p=.036) were significantly related to attitudes toward NKR. Unification attitude (${\beta}=0.27$, p <.001) and cultural receptivity (${\beta}=0.20$, p=.005) explained 13.7% of the variance in attitudes toward NKR. Conclusion: The findings of this study provide fundamental data for the development of a nursing education program on multicultural perspectives. Furthermore, these findings might highlight the need for a nursing education program that could enhance understanding of patients from different backgrounds and recognize their differences, going beyond a national point of view as commonly found in Korea. The nursing education program should also promote an open and receptive attitude.

본 연구는 북한에서 '2013 제1차 전반적 12년제 의무교육강령'이 시행된 이후에 출판된 소학교 1학년과 초급중학교 1학년 과학과 교사용 지도서에 나타난 PCK 요소를 분석함으로써 북한에서 진행되는 과학교육을 이해하는 데 목적이 있다. 분석 결과 두 지도서 모두 '과학 내용에 관한 지식'의 비율이 가장 높았고, '과학 교수전략에 관한 지식', '과학교육과정 관한 지식'이 뒤를 이었다. 반면에 '과학 평가에 관한 지식', '학생에 관한 지식'은 내용이 현저하게 부족하였다. '과학 내용에 관한 지식'에서는 소학교와 초급중학교 모두 '개념 및 이론'의 비중이 가장 높았으며 '실험 및 탐구'의 비중도 다른 PCK 요소에 비해서는 상당히 높았다. 북한의 과학과 지도서는 학생에게 과학 개념 및 이론을 전달하거나 탐구 수업을 진행할 때 '토론'을 활동으로 제시함으로써 구성주의 교수 흐름을 표방하고 있었다. '과학 교수 전략에 관한 지식'은 '주제-특이적 전략' 중 '활동 순서 및 방식'을 안내하는 부분이 주를 이루었으며 '교과-특이적 전략'은 극히 일부분만 제시되었다. 또한 북한의 과학과 지도서는 총론과 각론 모두에서 과학교육의 이론적 배경 요소가 거의 제시되지 않았다. '과학 교육과정에 관한 지식'은 '수업 목표'가 주를 이루었고, '수직 연계'와 '수평 연계'도 일부 제시되었다. '과학 평가에 관한 지식'과 '학생에 관한 지식'은 우리나라의 과학과 지도서와 비교했을 때 차지하는 비중이 작았다.

This study investigates pause positions of Korean students' reading of an English script. 12 natives speakers of English and 18 Korean students were asked to read The North Wind and the Sun. The common pause positions were determined by examining the pauses of the native speakers' readings. Korean students were asked to mark pauses on a script. And then they were trained to put pauses as native speakers of English do. Although some errors have been corrected after the training, others have not been corrected in Korean students' readings. Korean students made fewer errors in marking on the script than in reading the script. They seem to know where to put pauses, but lack of practice makes it difficult to put pause in the right positions when they read. That suggests that teachers should continue to teach students where to put pauses in their reading or speaking English.
