본 논문은 한국 수학 교육학계에서 사회적 구성주의자로서 소개되어지고 있는 Vygotsky의 이론의 재분석을 통해 우리에게는 아직 낱선 그의 이론인 사회문화주의 이론(sociocultural theory)을 소개하는 것을 그 주목적으로 하였다. 특히 아동의 수학 학습에 있어 교사의 역할의 중요성을 어떻게 Vygotsky가 사회문화주의 이론이라는 렌즈를 통해 설명하고 있는 지를 분석하였다. Vygotsky는 사회주의문화를 주장함으로써 Piaget와 같은 아동중심적 학습이론과 그 색채를 매우 다르게 취하고 있는데, 첫째, 그는 수학 학습이란 아동의 개인적인 수준에서보다는 사회적 수준에서 이루어진다고 주장하고 있다. 이는 본질적으로 Vygotsky가 왜 구성주의자로서 이해될 수 없는가를 보여주는 근본적인 이유이다. 둘째, 어떻게 사회문화작인 구조(예: 학교, 교실) 속에서 학습이 일어나는가를 설명하기 위해 근접 발달 영역 (Zone of Proximal Development: ZPD)이라는 개념을 도입하였다. 이는 아동이 누군가의 도움을 통해 도달할 수 있는 잠재적 발달 영역을 의미하며 Vygotsky 이론의 핵심이 되는 개념이다. 셋째, 사회문화주의 이론은 행동(mediated action)과 심리학적 도구(psychological tool)를 강조하며 결과적으로 학습의 아동 내부에서의 독립적이고 내재적인 생성보다는 외부적인 환경과의 제휴 된 모습과 그 결과들을 강조한다. 넷째, 따라서 아동의 수학 학습 과정에 있어 주체는 아동 홀로가 아니며, 교사와 보다 우수한 아동들의 역할이 매우 중요함을 강조하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 사회문화주의 이론에 대한 이해를 돕는 것과 아울러, 이를 통해 수학 학습에서 교사의 역할에 대한 그 이론적 기반을 제공하고 있다. 구성주의가 활성시켜 온 아동 스스로의 지식의 건설이라는 중요성에 비추어, 사회문화주의 이론의 제안을 통해 아동의 수학 학습에서의 교사의 적극적인 역할의 가능성을 제시하고 있다.

본 연구에서는 과학교육에서 다양한 학습자를 포용한다는 것은 과학 학습 참여와 소외 현상에 작동하는 사회문화적 기제를 분석하는 것이 전제되어야 한다는 문제의식 하에 관련 연구 동향을 고찰하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 과학 학습 정체성에 대한 사회문화적 접근으로 수행된 해외 학술지 논문 85편을 분석하였다. 논문 분석 결과는 먼저 연도별, 국가별 출판 수와 같은 기본적인 현황과 함께 연구 대상으로 삼은 학습자의 사회문화적 배경, 연구 맥락(상황), 연구 방법에 대한 범주별 현황을 제시하였다. 다음으로는 주요 연구 문제와 주제에 대한 이론적 틀과 구체적인 연구 사례를 제시함으로써 해당 연구 주제에 대한 보다 심층적인 분석을 시도하였다. 분석 결과 해당 분야 연구는 과학 학습을 공동체에서 참여함으로써 정체성을 발달해가는 과정으로 바라본다는 점에서 학습자가 지닌 다양한 사회문화적 정체성을 학습에 긍정적인 자원으로 바라보고자 하며, 이를 억압하는 과학수업의 문화나 사회에서의 담론을 비판함으로써 과학 학습에 있어 정당한 학습자(legitimate learner)의 범위를 확장하는데 기여해 오고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 연구들은 특히 과학교육에서 공정성(equity) 이슈를 강조하며, 전통적인 과학수업에서 소외되어 온 다양한 학습자들을 포용하고 행위주체성의 발달을 촉진하고자 하였다. 이러한 분석 결과를 바탕으로 앞으로 우리나라에서 '모두를 위한 과학교육'의 실현을 위해서는 과학 학습의 참여와 소외 현상을 둘러싼 다양한 사회문화적 기제에 대한 연구의 필요성을 주장하였고 이와 관련된 연구의 방향을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the sociocultural meanings of flapper look in American society during the 1920s. Using the ProQuest database, I searched articles from The New York Times published between 1920 and 1929 for opinions and discussions on the flapper look. Keywords included "clothing," "dress," "fashion," and "flapper," and advertisements and articles on menswear, leisurewear, and bathing suits were excluded. In the resulting articles, I extracted the following sociocultural meanings: autonomy, activeness, practicality, attractiveness, and extravagance. Meanings were analyzed from the opinions and discussions focusing on skirt length, dresses that directly and indirectly exposed the body, heavy make-up, non-constricting underwear, the H-line dress, bobbed hair, hygiene, comfort, and consumption. In sum, the 1920s flapper look represented progressive characteristics such as autonomous and active womanhood and practicality, which matched the technological development of the time. However, the flapper look was commercialized and exploited to make women look attractive and extravagant. Even though American women had access to higher education, more economic power, and suffrage in the 1920s, they were limited in their ability to overcome social conventions and the power of consumerism. Understanding the double-sidedness of flapper look within the social context of the time would enhance the comprehension of the relationship between women's lifestyles and changing fashion.

Life expectancy has increased and people are more concerned with keeping their 'youth'. Appearance is a competitive edge and people are caught up in a baby face fad that has expanded into a culture and beauty trend. This study examined the definitions and phrenological characteristics of a baby face and the causes of the baby face fad in a review of the baby face as a "sociocultural and beauty cultural code" based on literature, journals, previous papers, and Internet materials. Anatomically speaking, a "baby face" refers to a face that keeps the features of a child's face without aging signs. The baby face fad gained momentum due to the influences of the digital culture, the encouragement of the mass media, changes to the social structure, dietary improvements, new living styles, and an evolving aesthetic sense. The results reveal the sociocultural backgrounds behind the "baby face fad" settling down as a part of culture in addition to the phrenological characteristics of a baby face. It is also estimated that the baby face fad could affect the beauty culture and trends as a social phenomena.

Purpose: The aims of this study were to develope a structural model of health insensitivity and to verify the model of health insensitivity. Method: There were three theoretical variables in the hypothetical model. The endogenous variable was health insensitivity which is a concept including bluntness of health risk perception and unhealthy behavior. The exogenous variables were composed of personal factors and socio-cultural factors. In personal factors, neuroticism, external health locus of control, blunting style of information-seeking, deficit of self-efficacy, knowledge deficit related to health, health-related experience, age and education were included. Whereas socio-cultural factors include perceived group size of unhealthy behavior and stereotypes of unhealthy behavior. Result: Personal factors and sociocultural factors were significant in explanation of the health insensitivity. Relationship between personal factors and sociocultural factors was significant, too. However, the optimistic bias as part of health insensitivity was not supported by these data. GFI, AGFI and PGFI were .95, .92, .65, respectively. Therefore, this model was verified to be a good fit to the data and parsimonious. Conclusion: Nursing to change unhealthy behavior has focused on personal factors rather than sociocultural factors. Based on this result, however, the sociocultural factors should be considered as well.

Purpose: The increase of cosmetic surgery procedures is partly motivated by more positive attitude toward cosmetic surgery as a means of improving physical appearance. In this study factors expected to predict need for cosmetic surgery were examined. Methods: A descriptive design was used with 321 high school girls who completed a questionnaire about sociocultural attitudes toward appearance, body image, self-esteem, and need for cosmetic surgery. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed to examine factors affecting need for cosmetic surgery. Results: Bivariate correlations showed that need for cosmetic surgery was positively correlated with internalization and awareness of sociocultural attitudes toward appearance, and appearance orientation in body image and negatively correlated with self-esteem and ideal body mass index (BMI). Multiple regression showed that the predictive variables explained 22.1% in need for cosmetic surgery. The significant factors influencing need for cosmetic surgery were greater internalization and awareness of sociocultural attitudes toward appearance, better appearance evaluation and higher appearance orientation in body image, lower self-esteem, and lower ideal BMI. Conclusion: Overall, results of this research suggest that prevention of media influence and body image disturbances, and promotion of self-esteem are very important to young women.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of major variables and their relationship with the males' appearance consciousness that affect the men's cosmetic consumption. Also, the study also intended to verify the differences of men's cosmetic consumption between Chinese and Thai males. The samples consisted of 200 males who ranged in age from 18 to 35 years (M=24.64). One hundred participants were Thai and one hundred were Chinese. Based on literature review, six research questions were proposed. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, factor analysis, t-test, and multiple regression were used for this study. As the results, the sociocultural attitudes of consumers towards their appearance are positively relevant to the self-esteem and public self consciousness. Also, appearance consciousness such as appearance evaluation and appearance orientation led more cosmetic consumption. Chinese males revealed higher scores on public self-consciousness, appearance orientation, and sociocultural attitudes toward appearance than Thai males. Based on these results, some implications for global cosmetic markets would be suggested.

The present study aims to phenomenologically investigate the adaptation experiences of Vietnamese immigrant women, with in the sociocultural context of their native country. In-depth interviews with a total of seven Vietnamese immigrant women were analyzed by the phenomenological method of A. Giorgi(1997). A total of 127 meaning units and 7 themes with 17 sub-themes, which rendered central meanings that indicated situational structures, were derived. The statements of situational structures were re-categorized in accordance with the sociocultural context of their native country. As the socioeconomic aspect, "aspiration for new opportunities and a new world" and "disappointment and frustration" were derived. The aspect of familial value and culture involved "conflicts over the unilateral acceptance of differences" and "building social relationships". The aspect of female status was associated with "conflicts due to patriarchal hierarchy". The aspect of child caring involved "education as a symbolic value" and the "double-sidedness of mother identity strategy". The gist of Vietnamese immigrant women's adaptation experiences is "to grow into a subjective mother despite conflicts due to the disappointment and frustration behind aspirations".

This study was designed to find out how the sociocultural attitudes toward appearance, BMI(Body Mass Index) of adult women affect their body image and body satisfaction. A questionnaire was prepared in the survey and a total of 456 adult women were selected by way of stratified random sampling. The research findings are as follows. The sociocultural attitudes toward appearance were shown in two factors of 'internalization' and 'recognition' The body image was shown in three dimensions of 'care for appearance,' 'concern about weight,' and 'appearance attractiveness'. Internalization, recognition, and BMI affected care for appearance. Concern about weight was affected by internalization, and BMI. Appearance attractiveness was affected only by BMI. Most people were not satisfied with their weight and overall body shape in spite that they in fact had normal or lean figures except 3.3% of the total samples. From the above research findings, adult women's satisfaction with their body was shown high when they were subjectively satisfied with their appearance attractiveness. And the results indicate that adult women are under pressure of socioculturally distorted image of beauty.
