The present study investigates secondary school student athletes’ specific needs for English learning and analyzes correlation and a cause and effect relationship among the needs-related variables. Two hundred forty six student athletes enrolled in physical education. Junior and senior high schools participated in the study. Data were collected through a survey that inquired about the students’ perceived English ability and learning areas of interest, their needs for ESP education, and aspects to be considered for ESP course design. The results show that the students put more emphasis on verbal communication (i.e., on speaking and listening) than on written communication (i.e., on reading and writing) and that they wanted more practical ESP education reflecting their needs and interests. Additionally, there was significant correlation (p<.01) among the subjects’ learning areas of interest, needs for ESP education, and aspects to be considered for ESP course design; a cause and effect relationship among the above three variables was discovered by goodness of fit test for structure equation model. Based on these findings, it is concluded that secondary school student athletes’ perceived English ability and areas of interest for English learning influence both their needs for ESP education and aspects to be considered for ESP course design.

Recently, service quality must reflect several demands of customers who show rapid and various changes so as to be compared with the past. So, objective and rapid measuring methods for service quality are necessary. For them, first of all, service company must calculate their standard of service quality accurately by measuring service quality exactly. Kano classified the degree of influence that is the degree of correspondence of the quality attributes of products and services to the subjective satisfaction of customers. As a result, the types of qualities are classified as attractive, must be, one dimensional, and indifference attributes. They have been widely used quality attributes in various industrial fields up to now. However, Kano model has a limit that it ignores the characters of the next frequent numbers even though there are not much gap comparing to the most frequent number in the questionnaire answers. The limit is attributed to the character of Kano model that the most frequent number is accepted as the only quality character. Timko calculated the customer satisfaction coefficient by using Kano’s method and studied the differences in quality character by classifying the quality characteristics in a graphical way through the relationship between the satisfaction and the dissatisfaction coefficient. In this study, we used the quality level determination method of the 7-point Likert scale, which takes the weight into account, to complement the deficiencies of the existing Kano model. We also developed and applied a Potential Satisfaction Level (P) and Potential Customer Demand Improvement (PCDI) Index to present a new approach to the determination of service quality attributes. To measure the level of potential service satisfaction and to understand the degree of improvement, we collected specimens of 51 participants who has been trained in the National Strategy Business Training Program, which has been managed by government agent, and analyzed the results.1)

In response to growing needs for developing Korean Language teacher expertise and diverse Korean language learners, appropriate retraining programs are the key to successful Korean language education.

This study investigated the current status and needs for nutrition education to help reduce children’s sugars intake at the Center for Children’s Foodservice Management (CCFM, n=115), and Child Care Facilities (CCF, n=646) through an online survey conducted from October 5th to 30th 2015. A total of 14.8% of CCFM respondents and 31.9% of CCF respondents provided nutrition education on sugars intake to young children as a main topic (p<0.001). A higher percentage (CCFM 47.8%: CCF 42.4%) delivered nutrition education on sugars intake to young children as a sub-component (p<0.001). Over 90% of the CCFM and CCF participants agreed on the necessity of providing nutrition education on sugars intake to children. The most common reasons given for delivering nutrition education on children’s sugar intake were “there are many more urgent nutrition education topics” for CCFM, and “insufficient nutrition education information and materials” for CCF. The percentage of nutrition education on children’s sugar intake provided to the children’s parents was low showing about 20% in the both groups. The percentage of CCFM participants providing nutrition, education on children’s sugar intake to the teachers in CCF was also low, showing about 14.8%; however, 68.0% of the CCF participants wanted to received teacher's education on guiding children’s sugar intake. Regarding ideas about a nutrition education program on children’s sugar intake for young children, most respondents in both groups answered “sugar intake and dental cavities or obesity” for appropriate education contents, “story telling or puppet show” for appropriate education methods, and “dietitian from CCFM and class teacher together” for appropriate educator. For appropriate education time, there was a significantl difference between the CCFM responses (average 2.7 times) and the CCF responses (average 4 times). Based on the above results, we found that implementing nutrition education on children's sugar intake at the CCFM and CCF, was low; however, awareness of the need for nutrition education on children’s sugar intake and the program development and supply was very high. Also, the opinions of CCFM and CCF participants about a nutrition education program on children’s sugar intake for young children can provide foundation data to develop and implement the CCFM-based nutrition education program.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the fad dieting status and needs of nutrition education on healthy dieting in male and female collegians according to the desired loss weight. The subjects were 611 students (287 males, 324 females) from universities in Gyeonggi and Gangwon provinces in Korea. The subjects were divided into the following four groups based on the difference between their current body weight and their desired body weight: no desired weight loss (WL0), desired weight loss less than 5 kg (WL5), desired weight loss 6 to 10 kg (WL10), and desired weight loss more than 11 kg (WL11). The fad dieting status was surveyed using a questionnaire about 11 selected trendy dieting methods. The higher desired weight loss group showed higher current weight and BMI in both males and females. Self weight overestimation was higher in the females than in the males, and in the WL10 group than in the other groups of males. As desired loss weight increased, weight loss trials and experienced trendy dieting types increased in both males and females. In the male subjects, the experience of the half meal diet and the chicken breast diet was significantly associated with the desired loss weight. In females, trials of more trendy diet types including the half meal diet, cereal diet, fasting, and Atkins diet were significantly associated with the higher desired loss weight. The need for nutrition education on healthy dieting was high among all the different desired weight loss groups, showing that a minimum of 60% of subjects in each group answered ‘necessary and strongly necessary’, with the highest in the WL11 group in both males and females. From these results, desired loss weight is associated with higher current weight status, unhealthy weight control practices, and needs for nutrition education in both male and female subjects. Therefore, in the future, nutrition education programs should give greater attention to providing healthy dieting methods for young collegians who desire more weight loss.

본 연구는 빠르게 변화하는 미래사회를 대비하기 위해 중요성이 커지고 있는 진로교육의 안정적인 정 착과 발전을 위하여 학교교육뿐만 아니라 학원교육에서도 바람직한 진로교육이 이루어져야 함을 인식하 고, 학원구성원의 진로교육에 대한 인식과 요구도를 알아보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 학원 구성원은 진로교육이 학생들의 ‘교육기회 탐색>일과 직업 이해>진로계획과 준비’ 등을 위해 학원에 도입 될 필요가 있다고 인식하는 반면, 자신의 교육능력은 낮게 인식하였다. 경영효과성은 ‘원생입시>이미지 개선>연속 수강’ 등 대체로 높았다. 둘째, 학원구성원은 학원에서 진로교육이 원활하게 이루어지기 위해 ‘학부모의 관심과 참여>학원장의 관심과 의지>강사의 진로교육 전문성 확보’ 등이 필요하고, 진로교육 활성화를 위해서는 ‘정기적인 진로· 진학 상담>학부모 대상 교육>전문기관과의 협력>학원 진로교육 프로그램 개발’ 등이 필요하다고 하였다. 진로교육 내용은 ‘자아이해>교육기회 탐색>진학 준비>일과 직업이해>진로계획과 준비>직업정보 탐색> 진로의사결정 능력개발>대인관계 및 의사소통>건강한 직업의식’ 순이었다. 셋째, 진로교육에 대한 인식과 요구도는 ‘광역시’와 ‘중소도시’가 ‘서울시’보다 높았고, 진로교육을 실시 하는 학원이, 진로교육에 대한 경험이 있는 구성원이 그렇지 않는 경우보다 높았다. 결론적으로 학원에서 진로교육이 바람직한 방향으로 이루어지기 위해서는 학원구성원, 학원장, 학부모, 정부의 관심과 지원이 필요하다.

During the last decade, an increasing number of immigrants came to Korea mainly for getting jobs and following their spouses, and the Korean government attempted to introduce several policies and projects. Among those policies and projects, the bilingual teacher development program was launched for developing bilingual teachers to teach their cultures and languages to multicultural and general students as well. The purpose of this research was to find out what multicultural immigrant women who participated in a bilingual teacher development program wanted to obtain from the program, and possibly to suggest aiming at developing a teacher training program for the future. Twelve pre-service bilingual teachers who were being trained in bilingual teacher development program participated in the pre- and post-questionnaire surveys. The results of the study are as follows. First, 12 pre-service bilingual teachers fully understood their roles as bilingual teachers and they think they are prepared to carry out those roles through the training program and the practicum. However, after the practicum they recognized they need to deepen their knowledge on child psychology, counseling and material development. Next, the pre-service teachers were satisfied with the training program and the courses they took in the program would be helpful to work as a bilingual teacher. However, they demand more practicum in the training curriculum. Some suggestions are made for improving the current system of practicum in the bilingual teacher training curriculum.
