  • This study aims to propose desirable operational strategies for public library programs as a means to alleviate the daily difficulties faced by married immigrant women. To achieve this, We conducted an analysis of 326 multicultural programs from 132 institutions, all of which were supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 2022. The purpose was to gain an understanding of the current situation and identify any issues related to these programs. Additionally, we conducted interviews with married immigrant women to gain insights into the challenges they encounter in Korean society and to determine their specific demands regarding library programs. Furthermore, we interviewed librarians responsible for multicultural services to better comprehend their experiences in managing such programs and to understand their perceptions of multicultural services for married immigrant women. Based on these findings, we have proposed four operational strategies for public library programs targeting married immigrant women. These strategies include: 1) Program content, 2) Program operation method, 3) Building a personal network and utilizing human resources, 4) Collaboration with other institutions.

  • A variety of competencies for good teaching in mathematics has been discussed. It has been expected that there is discordance between researchers and teachers' perspectives on the competencies. We attempted to investigate teachers' perspectives rather than researchers' to narrow the possible discordance. First, we built a list of competencies for good teaching that mathematics teachers should meet by reviewing literatures. Second, we investigated mathematics teachers' perceptions about what requirements teachers should meet for good teaching, how mathematics learning experiences at the university level influence teachers' competence cultivation, and how pre-service teacher education influence teachers' competence building. Based on the results, we discussed mathematics teachers' competencies for good teaching and provided implications for pre-service teacher education.

  • This cross-sectional study investigated the relationship among three factors related to patient safety activities: (1) Experiences, (2) Perceptions, and (3) Willingness to Participate. An online survey was administered to 195 people in November 2019. Participants were admitted to a general hospital within the past year. Patient safety activity experience had a significant direct effect on patient safety perception, and patient safety perception had a significant direct effect on willingness to participate. Patient safety perception thus significantly mediates the relationship between patient safety activity experience and willingness to participate. It is necessary to increase patient safety perception through publicity of and educating on patient safety activities performed by hospitals. Doing so may increase willingness to participate in patient safety activities.
