The purpose of study suggest that new strategies available for the physical therapy curriculum development are trying to elicit from world-renowned universities those to keep pace with the globalization. The curriculum of 3 universities in Australia was compared with those of a four-year course in Korea. The 3 university are Sydney, Melbourne and Queensland Universities in Australia. Overall, the curriculum in Korea not only showed overlapping subjects, a shortage of clinical time and foundation science but, didn't deal with many subject to satisfy international recommendation. We suggest that a new curriculum should be based on the three parts which are foundation, essential divided into 6 areas and selection subject, particularly extended clinical experience to essentially need to be physical therapy in the world-standard.

A significant number of all reported accidents in Korea involved education and training Based on the Labor Ministry data, statistics, show the education cause was directly involved in 38% of major accidents, Since safety managers have in charge of safety education at the factory, occupational safety curriculum must be studied to train safety manager effectively. In this study an analysis on relative importance of industrial safety curriculum for a good safety manager was performed by Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) The results showed that relative importance of industrial safety curriculum by AHP was safety management(w=0.240) ergonomics and system safety(w=0.201) construction safety(w=0.182) mechanic safety(w=0.139) electronic safety(w=0.134) and chemical safety(w=0.104) in order. The results could be used for industrial safety curriculum planning in university and safety organization such as Korea Occupational safety and Health Agency.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the international trends of how the core competencies are reflected in mathematics curriculum, and to find the implications for the revision of Korean mathematics curriculum. For this purpose, the curriculum of the 9 countries including the U.S., Canada(Ontario), England, Australia, Poland, Singapore, China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong were thoroughly reviewed. It was found that a variety of core competencies were reflected in mathematics curricula in the 9 countries such as problem solving, reasoning, communication, mathematical knowledge and skills, selection and use of tools, critical thinking, connection, modelling, application of strategies, mathematical thinking, representation, creativity, utilization of information, and reflection etc. Especially the four most common core competencies (problem solving, reasoning, communication, and creativity) were further analyzed to identify their sub components. Consequently, it was recommended that new mathematics curriculum should consider reflecting various core competencies beyond problem solving, reasoning, and communication, and these core competencies are supposed to combine with mathematics contents to increase their feasibility. Finally considering the fact that software education is getting greater attention in the new curriculum, it is necessary to incorporate computational thinking into mathematics curriculum.

This study analyzed the evolutionary content in 13 textbooks developed from the first to the 6th high school biology curriculum, The content analysis of textbooks, which were delineated nine component, was performed on the 80 evolutionary categories, According to the result, the proportion of the total evolutionary content in textbook increased from the textbooks developed by the Ist curriculum to the textbooks developed by the 6th curriculum, but the proportion of 'main narrative' in total evolutionary content was gradually decreased. It also showed that biology curriculum and points of view of textbook writers influenced on the proportion of evolutionary contents. On the whole, the topics of analysed textbooks exhibit insufficient diversity, Any categories- 'group selection', 'gene selection', 'gaps in fossil record', 'co-evolution', 'punctuated equilibrium', 'mosaic evolution', 'place of labor in human evolution', 'human race differentiation', 'criticism of "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny", and 'human activities affecting evolution' - were not treated and others - 'theory of neutralism', 'theories of major episodes(excepting extinctions) found in the geologic time scale', 'sympatric speciation', 'clinal and area-effect speciation', 'polyploidy and evolution', 'gradualism' and 'evolution and origin of mammals' - were treated very lightly, the most emphasized topic was 'phylogeny in general' and 'formation of precells', 'miscellaneous' in the order of emphasis. 'Theory of natural selection' was lightly treated as just one of evolutionary theory though it should be emphasized as major theme of evolution. Also, the law of recapitulation, of which biologists doubt the validity, was discussed as an evidence of evolution in some textbooks. And the agents of genetic equilibrium disruption like genetic drift and migration were treated as of little importance. On the basis of above result, it was suggested that the textbook writers introduced the more meaningful evolutionary topics focused the theory of natural selection in explanation of evolution and evolution theory.
