  • 본 연구는 서울시 중고등학생을 대상으로 인구학적 특성, 에이즈감염경로지식, 동성애자에 대한 태도, 에이즈 낙인, 에이즈 감염인에 대한 사회적 거리감 사이의 인과구조를 집단별로 규명하기 위한 것이다. 중학교 8개교, 고등학교 8개교에 배포된 설문지는 3,370부 중 수거된 설문지는 3,135였고, 불성실한 설문지 34부를 제외한 총 3,101부(98.9%)가 분석에 사용되었고, 유효하지 않은 사례는 일률적(listwise)으로 제거하여 유효사례 수는 2,977부였다. 분석방법으로 탐색적 요인분석(EFA), 확인적 요인분석(CFA), 공변량 구조분석 등을 시도하였고, 모형을 추정하기 위해 구조방정식 모형을 사용하였다. 모형검증의 추정결과, 첫째, 중학생과 고등학생 간에 에이즈 차별의식의 구성개념인 에이즈 낙인과 에이즈 감염인에 대한 사회적 거리감에서 뚜렷한 차이를 보이고 있었다. 둘째, 에이즈 낙인에 대한 의생변인인 동성애자에 대한 태도는 중학생(${\beta}=.407$), 고등학생(${\beta}=.401$) 모두 강한 정(+)의 인과적 영향을 보였으며, 셋째, 에이즈 감염인에 대한 사회적 거리감의 외생변인인 동성애자에 대한 태도는 중학생(${\beta}=.108$), 고등학생(${\beta}=.080$) 모두 약한 정(+)의 영향을 보였다. 넷째, 에이즈 감염경로 지식은 중학생(${\beta}=.313$), 고등학생(${\beta}=.301$) 모두 강한 정(+)의 인과적 영향을 미쳤고, 다섯째, 에이즈 감염인에 대한 사회적 거리감에 영향을 미치는 외생변인인 에이즈 감염경로 지식은 중학생(${\beta}=.160$), 고등학생(${\beta}=.134$) 모두 정(+)의 인과적 영향을 미쳤다. 여섯째, 에이즈 감염인에 대한 사회적 거리감에 영향을 미치는 외생변인인 에이즈 낙인은 중학생(${\beta}=.616$), 고등학생(${\beta}=.692$) 모두 강한 정(+)의 인과적 영향을 미쳤다. 이상의 분석결과 에이즈 감염인에 대한 낙인 및 사회적 거리감을 해소하기 위해서는 에이즈 지식 중 감염경로에 대한 지식을 높이고, 에이즈를 동성애자의 병으로 바라보는 시각을 해소시키는 것이 필요하다고 판단된다.

  • 한국사회는 IMF로부터 지원을 받는 경제불황기를 경험하면서 많은 변화를 겪어왔다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 급격한 사회변동 이후에 한국사람의 성공에 대한 의식을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이러한 결과를 IMF시대 이전의 선행연구(김의철, 박영신, 1998)와 비교하므로써, 한국사람의 성공에 관련된 사회적 표상을 토착심리학적 시각에서 분석하고 종합하는데 주된 목적이 있다. 분석대상은 총 988명으로, 초 중 고 대학생 481명과 그들의 부(236명) 모(271명)로 구성된 성인 507명이었다. 분석결과, 가장 자랑스러운 성공경험으로 학생은 학업성취를, 성인은 성공적인 가정생활을 지적하였다. 한국사람들에게 성공적인 가정생활이란, 자녀의 교육적 성취와 자녀의 발전 및 화목한 가정을 주로 의미하였다. 성공에 가장 큰 도움을 준 사람은 가족이었는데, 학생의 경우는 부모, 성인의 경우는 배우자가 가장 많았다. 초 중학생에서는 부모가 특히 중요하고, 고등학생 이후는 친구의 중요성이 증가하였다. 어떠한 분야에서든 성공하기 위해 다른 사람으로부터 받은 도움으로서, 학생과 성인 모두 정서적 지원을 가장 중요하게 인식하였다. 성공의 가장 중요한 원인으로서 과반수 정도의 청소년이 자기조절을 지적하였고, 성인 남자는 자기조절을, 성인 여자는 가정환경을 더욱 중요한 것으로 보았다. 이 연구의 결과를 IMF시대 이전의 선행연구 결과와 비교해 볼 때, 국가적인 경제 위기상황 이후에 가족의 중요성에 대한 지각이 더욱 증가하였지만, 학업성취 및 성공적인 가정생활의 중요성, 사회적 지원의 제공자로서 부모와 배우자, 이러한 가족으로부터 정서적 지원의 중요성, 성공의 원인으로서 자기조절에 대한 강조와 같은 핵심적인 결과가 일치하였다. 이와같이 반복적으로 나타난 유사한 결과를 통해, 한국인의 토착적인 성공의식을 종합하고, 이러한 의식의 기저에 있는 신념 및 가치체계에 대해 논의하였다.

  • This study has been undertaken in the light of constructivist view of teacher education. Participant observation, unstructured interview and questionnaire were used to explore the process and the role of practicum in science teacher education. The subjects were 19 student teachers majoring in physics education; 8 had participated at boys junior high school, 11 at senior high school. The student teachers had very critical and negative perception on their school days' science lessons. They had expected to do 'better' in their practicum but there were only 3 to 5 opportunities of teaching under the umbrella of textbook. Explanation in the classroom and solving exercise problem were the main features of student teachers' lessons. Much of the lessons were similar when it is to same topic and the main reference for their lesson preparation was the textbook. The student teachers felt the design of teaching approach as the most difficult thing during their lesson preparation. They realized that teaching is harder than they thought and they should consider students' level and responses. Though they had become to have more positive perception on teaching job through their field experiences, their decision on job preference did not change. More than half did not want to be a teacher. The student teachers recognised the courses related with science education as the most useful to their teaching in practice among the program of college of education which they had taken. The experience of writing one lesson plan or teaching in front of their peers, designing a new demonstration equipment were recognised as valuable and helpful element of the courses. They proposed to reduce the amount of general education courses and to emphasize the courses relevant with science education and practicum. The limited opportunity of teaching in practicum was pointed out as problematic. Though the practicum was recognized as a 'good' experience to student teachers, it was confined by textbook and limited teaching opportunity. In conclusion, the practicum was not organized and implemented as a meaningful experience of science teaching and learning. There should be more structured studies on what kind of perceptions and experiences the student teachers had brought to the science teacher education program, how they interact with the elements of the program and how they affect to their science teaching. The structure and content of practicum also should be studied and developed so as to make practicum as a meaningful experience of science teaching and learning.

  • A secondary survey was conducted of 503 customers, to investigate eating out behaviours at five fast food restaurants of Youido apartment compound in Seoul, in April of 1988. The results are summarized as follows: The majority, 84% of customers, were aged 14 to 30, consisting of junior and senior high school children, college students and company employees. In contrast to the previous survey of 1986, in which no elderly customers were found, a small number of elderly customers were observed in this study. The reasons given by customers for patronizing fast food restaurants were the following, from most to least frequent: 'convenient', 'allows for companionship', 'the pleasant place to eat', 'dining equipment and tableware are hygienic', 'to be able to stay as long as I want', and 'foods rapidly served'. Only 24.2% of the customers purchased the fast foods for a full meal, 38.3% purchased the foods for snacking, and others purchased ice cream only or drink only. The majority of the customers ate the purchased foods at the fast food restaurants. However, a limited number of female customers preferred to take the packed fast foods to their homes. Taste preference was a major factor in food selection from available menu items, among the younger customers; whereas customers over 30 years old were concerned with nutritive balance. Fried chicken, pizza, rolled rice with laver, ice cream, and juice were high on the list of liked foods; in contrast, lower preference was for fish burger, doughnut, spaghetti, Chajang noodles and chili beans. The survey discovered that the preference for fried chicken, pizza, and salad had increased compared to the previous survey of 1986. Preference by food nationality was highest for Korean food, then Western food, Chinese food, and Japanese food, in that order. Customers offered suggestions for better fast food service, such as lowering the price; greater variety in the menu; developing fast foods from the traditional Korean foods; and increasing the proportion of vegetables and fruits on the fast food menu. The customers, in particular, emphasized a need for the development of Korean traditional beverage of malt drink and persimmon punch, as well as mungbean pan cakes and sweet- spicy rice noodles (docbokki), as fast foods.

  • 이 연구의 출발점은 현재 전자오락게임이 유, 청소년들에게 행사하는 매력이다. 이 점을 전제로 이 연구는 유, 청소년들에게 효과적으로 다가갈 만한, 그러면서도 교육적으로 의미 있는 물음들을 내포한 질문지의 구성을 목표로 한다. 물음들에 대한 유, 청소년들의 대답만큼이나 물음을 묻는 과정 자체가 중요하다. 왜냐하면 연구자는 전자오락게임과 더불어 성장한 세대에 배우려는 자세로 조심스럽게 다가갈 필요가 있기 때문이다. 단적으로 말해 이 논문은 설문에 대한 통계적 분석이거나 유, 청소년들의 전자오락게임 수용실태 연구가 아니다. 연구의 무게중심이 전자오락게임에 대해 학생들에게 말을 건네는 방식에 놓여져 있기 때문에 우선적으로 대화가 용이한 대학생들을 출발점으로 초, 중, 고등학교로 그 연구범위를 넓혀갈 수 있다. 결론적으로, 이 연구는 초, 중, 고등학교와 대학교의 교육현장에서 학생들을 가르치는 교사들에게 직접적으로 사용할 수 있는 교육방법의 아이디어를 제공하면서, 교육 콘텐츠로서 문화의 가능성에 대한 새로운 관심을 환기시킨다. 이 연구에서 제안하는 질문지는 앞으로 게임적 상상력을 포함한 본격적인 게임미학을 향한 첫 걸음이기도 하다.

  • Two interview surveys (1976 for 800 patients, 1978 for 200 patients) and an inventory survey through medical records(1978) for epileptic patients who have registered with the Korean Epilepsy Association (Rose Club) since 1971 were carried out by trained health workers in advance of survey. The data obtained from the analysis showed as follows: 1) 35.2% of patients were born in Seoul and 70. 6% of patients born elsewhere have lived in Seoul. 2) 50-60% of patients were 15-30 years cid. 3) 33.4%, 24,6 and 24.6 of all pupils and students went to elementary, junior and senior high schools respectively. 4) 21.2% of all pupils and students had dropped out of school and 51.4% of them were away from school because of epilepsy. 5) 3.1% of all patients had no job at all and students comprised 20.9% of patients followed by clerical work, commercial business and farming with about 6% in each group.6) Reasons given for unemployment such as dismissal (4.3%), quit (27.7%), hesitation to employ (42.5%)and discontinuance of job (25.5%) were basically due to epilepsy. 7) About half(46.2%) of all patients have become Christian since the Rose Club was a voluntary agency which has been sponsored by Christians. 8) 82. 6% of patients were diagnosed as having grand mal as the most. 9) 29.4% of patients explained aura with psychomotor disturbances and 13.8% with sensory disorders. 10) 46.3% of patients were attacked with seizures when they were tired and others(11.6% and 4.9%) after excessive eating and hunger. 11) Patients suffered more seizures in spring and summer rather than in autumn and winter and most patients had attacks 1-5 times a month. 12) For etiologic reasons of epilepsy, 35.5% of patients considered it was caused by psychological stress and 11.5% by trauma. Only 1.1% of patients considered it as having hereditary components. 13) 51% of patients were slow in caring for their own illnesses. They started to reat epilepsy after spending 5 years of time from the initial seizure.
