The computer education has not to remain literacy education but to change with object of training a member of real society which is logic in thinking, initiativeness in suit with the knowledge information-oriented society by teaching the theory of computer science. This study examined effects and applied by means of developing project- based programming teaching model for elementary students in a classroom when teachers instruct programming education This study is expected to contribute to make computer teaching methods better, by providing teachers with teaching models of computer programming education for elementary students.

The purpose of study was to examine whether a MBTI based self growth program had any effect on improving the ego identity of dental hygiene students. The subjects in this study were first grade and second grade class A,B each 80 persons, total 160 persons. As the measuring instruments, the researcher used Ego Identity scale of Korean style developed by Park, A-Chung. This instrument was administerd twice before and after the program as a pretest and post-test. The data were analyzed by t-test, ANCOVA conducted by spss 12.0 program. The finding of study were as follows: First, there was statistically significant difference on the ego identity between the two groups. Second, there was statistically significant difference on the subjectiveness, the intentionality toward an aim(3.43), initiativeness(3.46), intimateness(3.74) between the two groups. The results of this study suggested that the MBTI based self growth program might serve the ego identity of dental hygiene students and brought inner changes to them.

The present study was conducted to (1) explore the perceptions of Korean men and women about what is an important relationship for them and how do each gender group construe relational self, and (2) develop the scale to assess the factors of relational self and verify construct validity of the scale. 40 college students and 60 adults participated in survey and FGI (Focused Group Interview) respectively, and content analysis of their responses yielded 2 categories with 39 characteristics of relational self. The one category was named 'instrumentality' which was important to men and the other was named 'expressivity' which was important to women. The list of 39 items was administered to a nationwide sample of 1503 Korean adults to assess their construal of relational self through the 6-point Likert scale. Principal axis factor analysis showed that the two categories were unidimensional with high reliability. As a result of factor analysis on each category, a total of 9 factors were extracted. Specifically, the instrumentality consisted of factors such as utilitarianism, independence, initiativeness, self-assurance, and competence. And the factors of expressivity were empathy, passiveness, dependency, consideration. The tests of mean difference revealed that men had higher scores in most of the instrumental factors, while women had higher scores in most of the expressive factors. But there was no sex difference in the interdependent self-construal scale(Cross, 2000) which has been frequently used for measuring relational self. This is related to the Korean's collective cultural characteristics, and it was concluded that the relationship with others is very important to both Korean men and women, but the meaning and expectation of the relationship as well as the method for its preservation are different to each sex group. In addition, the correlation analyses indicated that the feminity score was positively correlated with the expressiveness while the masculinity score was positively correlated with instrumentality. This result implicated the differences of relational self among Korean people were related to the socialization process of each sex, i.e., sex role identity. Finally, limitations of this study and the directions for future research were discussed.
