이 연구에서는 Draw-An-Environmental-Scientist-Test(DAEST)를 이용하여 학생들의 환경과학자와 환경과학자가 하는 일에 대한 인식과, 환경과학자 그림을 그리는데 영향을 미친 요인을 조사했다. 서울시 소재 일반계 고등학교 3개교에서 1학년과 2학년 학생 413명을 대상으로 DAEST를 실시했다. 연구 결과, 학생들의 환경과학자에 대한 이미지는 과학자의 정형적인 이미지와는 다르게 나타났다. 학생들의 그림에는 환경과학자의 나이와 성의 특징이 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않았다. 또한, 대부분의 학생들은 환경과학자를 야외에서 실험기구와 노트북 컴퓨터 등을 이용하여 환경오염과 관련된 데이터 수집을 하는 사람으로 인식했다. 한편, 학생들은 환경과학자에 대한 그림을 그리는데 영향을 준 요인으로 대중매체, 학교교육, 인터넷 등을 제시했다. 환경과학자와 환경과학자가 하는 일에 대한 인식 및 인식에 영향을 미친 요인은 학생들의 학년과 성에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 이에 대한 교육적 함의를 논의했다.

This study was performed to investigate the perceptions of the opinion leaders, such as government officials, researchers, NGO workers, and journalists on the risks of endocrine disrupters (EDs) and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) as well as the related policies on these two hazards or potential hazards. The opinion leaders generally considered the EDs as the most serious hazard among twenty-one environmental health hazards in Korea, and agreed that the EDs would continuously be the most serious hazard. On overall average, the GMOs were ranked the 11th among the twenty-one health hazards. Further investigation indicated that the GMOs were variously ranked by the group of respondents: they were ranked the 2nd by the NGO workers, the 7th by the journalists, the 9th by the researchers and the 11th by the government officials. In general, the respondents considered the dioxin as a hazard with the highest risk while the GMOs were considered less hazardous. The opinion leaders considered that although the risks of the GMOs and EDs were not fully verified, the risks should be controlled through the legislation. The EDs and GMOs should be separately regulated for the time being, while the EDs should put under more strengthened regulation. It is recommended that a web-site containing the information on the EDs and the GMOs be prepared for the journalists. In addition, a training program in relation to the EDs and the GMOs needs to be organized by the Korean Press Foundation and the Korea Food and Drug Administration to educate the journalists. A committee consisting of government officials, scientists, and NGO workers needs to be established, and it should provide framework of future policies and public relations programs.

In agriculture, the rice is the one of important things. Many farmers and scientists have long tried to increase the yield of rice. So many technologies have been developed these days. One type of technology has given rise to a host of concerns and questions, namely Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). The increasing cultivation of GM crops has raised a wide range of concerns with respect to food safety, environmental effects and socio-economic issues and now commercially planted on about 100 million hectares in some 22 developed and developing countries. The scientific evidence concerning the environmental and health impacts of GMOs is still emerging, but so far there is no conclusive information on the definitive negative impacts of GMOs on health or the environment. Nevertheless, public perceptions about GMOs in food and agriculture are divided with a tendency toward avoiding GM food and products in many developed and developing countries. Also Korea is one of that country and is not allow the GMOs now. So I studied whether these GMOs are actually dangerous for environment and whether there are differences in cultivar characteristics such as germination test with TTC tetrazolium, germination test in frozen soil and gene-flow test with glufosinate and strip-bar test. With these experiments, we evaluated the agricultural safety of GM rice and to identify and assess environmental risks.
