In order to examine the educational effects and future directions of unplugged activities, we conducted a systematic review of Korean journals and theses from 2007 to 2016. Three kinds of database were used for systematic review: RISS, KISS, and E-article, and were performed searches using options such as 'unplugged' and 'play-centered'. Based on the protocol selected in the framework of the systematic review, 37 articles were selected analyzed in terms of research status, research subjects, research methods, research hubs, study mechanisms, educational methods, and research effects. Unplugged activities were the most popular among elementary school students. Educational effects were found to have significant effects on academic achievement, problem solving ability, and logical thinking ability. In the affirmative domain, there was a significant effect on interest, curiosity, and motivation. Based on the results of the analysis, the characteristics and implications of Unplugged activities and present the direction of future education were discussed.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the learning environment on the learning achievement of the learners and to improve the learning achievement of the learners while accepting the fact that it is difficult to change the class environment in which the middle and large group. Among the learner's positive and cognitive factors, we examined the factors that can classify learners into homogeneous groups in programming learning. The difficulty level of the learning contents influenced factors that classify the homogeneous group, and the factors were analyzed by dividing the intermediate difficulty and the final achievement. In addition, we examined the factors that affect the difference between two grades in order to analyze factors affecting steady learning regardless of difficulty level. It was found that the learners' personal motivation influenced the learning achievement of easy learning contents, and the performance self - efficacy had influence on the learning achievement and achievement of difficult learning contents.

This study examined the spirituality of dental hygiene and students and examined whether it affects the stress that may occur during clinical practice. The research tool consisted, clinical practice stresses, and general characteristics. It was held from March to July 2019 for 280 dental hygienists and students in K area. T-test and ANOVA were conducted for differences in spirituality and clinical practice stress according to general characteristics. The correlation between spirituality and clinical stress was analyzed by Pearson corrlation coefficients. As a result, dental hygiene and clinical practice stress of students were negatively correlated with spirituality, major satisfaction, and academic performance. If the motivation to apply to the department was grade, the clinical practice stress was higher. The limitation of this study is that it is impossible to make a concrete comparison because previous studies on the spirituality of dental hygiene and students are insufficient. Therefore, various studies on spirituality and clinical practice stress for dental hygienists are needed, and strategic search will be needed.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact and significance of married women's graduate school experiences, as well as to assess the differences in the images of a model woman and that of a real life married woman, and their implications in the aspect of social policies. Results showed that the reason married women enter graduate schools are psychological conflicts, feeling of emptiness, and self motivation for self realization. It was also found that once married women are in graduate school, they are faced with many difficulties such as balancing work and family lives, dealing with academic difficulties and physical / economic obstacles as they struggle to continue their studies. After exploring how the study participants overcame their difficulties and accomplished changes in their lives with the best use of available resources such as firm willingness to continue their studies and support from family and friends, this researcher wishes to present a sound guidance resulting from this study to married women who are preparing for graduate school.

The Korean government has tried to introduce pipeline natural gas from Russia, instead of liquefied natural gas from Middle East Asia since 1990s. While this energy cooperation in North East Asia has been discussed in real politics and academic societies, the previous studies have shown the limits on policy implication because they just suggest necessity and possess the problems of weak theoretical frameworks. Therefore, this study tries to analyze the motivations, conditions, and stages for energy cooperation in this region from the viewpoint of economic integration theory. As a result of analysis, these countries in North East Asia have only one motivation, namely economic interest. On the contrary, they have several conditions including real benefit, complementation in economic structures, and convergence in policy goals. In conclusion, this study suggests that low level cooperation such as preferential trade agreement in the field of natural gas is possible and necessary in North East Asia.

This study develops and validates an objective scale to measure newspaper use at home by elementary school students and parents. We developed a preliminary scale of 59 items through the review of literature on newspaper use and mediation as well as the examination of content validity by education experts. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 programs. A total of 42 items were supported by 703 parents with students in grades 1-6 using exploratory factor analysis. The model included 3 categories and 9 sub-factors: instruction (modeling, restriction, and text instruction), activities (play activity, conversation, online mediation, and scrap activity), and belief (academic achievement and information acquisition). Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed and validated the model fit; in addition, convergent validity, and discriminant validity, and cross validity was confirmed through correlation analysis by gender comparison and grade comparison. We also verified the validity of this scale through correlation analysis based on Yu and Jung (2012)'s newspaper mediation variables and scale in regards to children's motivation for using newspapers. Finally, internal consistency reliability and half reliability were also confirmed. In conclusion, the suitability and stability of home newspaper utilization scale for elementary students (HNUS-E) were confirmed. This scale provides parents and educators with ideas for the development of the children's literacy, cognitive, and affective domains that can be effectively used in research on newspaper use for school-aged children.

At present, the secondary school teacher employment examination(SSTEE) is the only gateway to become a national and public secondary teacher in Korea, and after the revision from the 2014 academic year, all the questions of the exam have been converted to supply-type test items, requiring more definitive, accurate, and solid answers. Compared to the selection-type test items that measure recognition memory, the supply-type questions, testing recall memory, require constant memorization and retrieval practices to furnish answers; however, there is not enough learning tools available to support the practices. At this juncture, this study invented a mobile app, called ONE PASS, for the SSTEE. By unpacking the functional mechanisms of the brain, the basis of cognitive processing, this ONE PASS app offers a set of tools that feature brain-based learning principles, such as a personalized study planner, motivation measurement scales, mind mapping, brainstorming, and sample questions from previous tests. This study is expected to contribute to the research on the development of learning contents for applications, and at the same time, it hopes to be of some help for candidates in their exam preparation process.

The importance of interoperability between weapon systems is continuously increasing. Usually it is implemented by data exchange. The existence of information heterogeneities between systems decreases the efficiency and quality of the implementations enterprise-widely. Many other developed countries increase the efficiency and quality of the implementations by using information exchange model commonly. However, Korean military is still not aware of the importance and necessity of the model. This study explains the necessity of development and adaptation of the Korea command and control information exchange model(KC2IEM), and presents the methodology for the development of the model, and verifies and improves it through a prototype model development. The completion of the information exchange model could not be possible by academic research, therefore this study contributes as a motivation and a stepping stone for the following developments.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of technical acceptance factors of Chinese MZ generation consumers' use of online fashion platforms on behavioral intentions and usage behavior, and to determine whether satisfaction plays an additional role in the relationship between behavioral intentions and usage behavior. The research results can be summarized as follows. First, among the technology acceptance factors that influence Generation MZ consumers when they use online fashion platforms, it was found that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, price value, habit, and content quality significantly influence the behavioral intention to use online fashion platforms. Second, the facilitating conditions and the platform usage intention of Chinese Generation MZ consumers directly and significantly influence the usage behavior on online fashion platforms. In contrast, it was confirmed that habit does not significantly influence actual usage behavior. Third, this study confirmed the moderating effect of satisfaction on the relationship between behavioral intention and usage behavior on online fashion platforms. This research, which proposes a research model explaining the usage intention and behavior of online fashion platforms based on UTAUT2, integrating not only the organizational aspect but also the consumer aspect to empirically verify the usage intention and the final usage behavior from the general consumer's perspective, has academic significance.

The various types of play structures and environments in which the playful motivation of YouTube users is effectively implemented are the main backgrounds of YouTube development and activation. This study discussed the types of play in YouTube space by dividing them into 'Agon', 'Alea', 'Mimicry', 'Ilinx' categories. And, it was found that the types of play that can be experienced in YouTube spaces are not divided into clear boundaries, but the elements of 'competition', 'luck', 'mimicry' and 'vertigo', which are essential characteritiscs of each category, are fused into various combinations. As such, this study is sufficiently academic in the fact that it is a humanistic approach to YouTube. In addition, it is a practical research result that can be actually used in the process of planning and producing user-centered similar platforms in the future.
