본 연구의 목적은 한국 중년 여성의 자녀 결혼 경험을 현상학적 방법으 로 분석하여 그 경험의 본질적 의미를 파악하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위하 여 본 연구에서는 자녀의 결혼을 경험한 50대와 60대 한국의 중년 여성 들을 대상으로 심층 면담을 진행하였고 참여자들의 생생한 일상적 경험 의 본질 구조를 드러내기 위해 Giorgi의 현상학적 방법을 사용하여 분석 하였다. 연구 결과 205개의 의미 단위, 33개의 주제, 14개의 주제묶음, 7개의 범주가 도출되었다. 도출된 7개의 범주는 ‘자식의 새로운 보호자 가 생김’, ‘나의 과거와 미래의 삶을 바라봄’, ‘자식을 품에서 떠나보냄’, ‘나를 과시하고 싶음’, ‘자식에 대한 나의 마지막 과제를 마침’, ‘새로운 가족에 대한 적응’, ‘자식에서 남편으로의 회귀’이다. 본 연구는 그동안의 연구에서 한국 중년 여성의 자녀 결혼에 따른 정서가 부정적인 것으로 나타났던 것과 달리 한국 중년 여성들은 새로운 가족을 맞아들임, 기쁨, 홀가분함 등의 긍정 정서를 느끼게 되고, 자녀와의 심리적·물리적 분리를 이루며, 새로운 가족을 받아들여 적응하는 한편 자신 곁에 남은 남편과 의 삶을 준비하는 등 자신의 지나온 삶을 정리하고 남아 있는 삶을 재정 비해 나간다는 본질적 의미를 밝혀냈다는 데 의의가 있다.

Background: The Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach is recognized in the field of health promotion as a way to optimize intervention for promoting health by taking into account specific social, economical, and institutional situations of the community. However, the CBPR approach has not been applied in the field of community-based rehabilitation. Objects: This study was conducted to explore the self-perceived satisfaction of therapists and disabilities on the Short-term Intensive Home-based Rehabilitation (SIHR) program developed using the CBPR approach as well as determine the points that need improvement. Methods: This research was conducted through in-depth interviews. The SIHR program was developed, applied, and evaluated by both the researchers and four therapists on the basis of the CBPR approach. The SIHR program was administered to four disability for 1 hour a day, 2 or 3 times a week, for 8 weeks, and their self-rehabilitation was monitored once a week for 4 weeks. After all intervention periods, in-depth interviews were conducted by using a semi-structured questionnaire for the therapists and disability. Results: The therapists were satisfied with the contents of the SIHR program, such as behavioral change technique and goal-directed training. They were also satisfied with the process of developing the program through a community network. Disabilities were satisfied with the therapists’ persuasive and emotionally interactive way of delivering the SIHR program as well as the individually customized rehabilitation training and physical improvement. The short period (8 weeks) of the SIHR program was noted by both therapists and disabilities as the part that needs improvement. Conclusion: The SIHR program developed using the CBPR approach was feasible and satisfying to therapists and disabilities. However, a longer SIHR program should be developed. Community networks could help therapists effectively utilize community resources and thereby provide more rehabilitation program for persons with disability.

This study aimed to investigate the perception, consumption, and acceptability of convenience mealsin low-income female elderly attending a lunch program at a community well fare center. Using in-depth interviews, qualitative data were collected 11 elderly females (62.5±11.2y) living in Seoul. Participants tried to eat various foods in small-portionsat home, although they ate out what they were offered. Elderly females preferred lunch box-type meals containing a bowl of rice served with toppings, gruel, or Bibimbop due to the growing unavailability of cooking or preparing a meal. Side-dish type convenience mealswere also preferred among elderly females since boiled rice can be easily prepared according to individual preferences. In addition, participants preferred healthy foods. Convenience meal planning and production, appropriate kinds of foods, cooking methods, menus, and packaging should be selected based on the elderly's functional atrophy in chewing, swallowing,digestion, and metabolic diseases. Furthermore, food preferences and comfort foods among the elderlyneed to be identified and characterized. Therefore, more information, including bite size, cutting size, and food texture, should be provided to understand and develop convenience meals for the elderly.

This paper investigates the status and change of qualitative research in TEFL and applied linguistics in an effort to project the direction of TEFL research in Korea. This paper first reviews a first and a second coming of age of the research in TESOL and applied linguistics, focusing on qualitative research methodology. For the study, the issues on a definition of qualitative research are raised, and three exemplars such as case study, conversation analysis, and ethnography are discussed in terms of assumptions, methods, data analysis and interpretation, and evaluative criteria. The importance and directions of qualitative research studies in TEFL in Korea are also suggested.

국제경영학과 정치학의 만남은 매우 흥미로운 분야이며, 이는 정치적 위험에 대한 연구에 의하여 이루어진다. 그러나 우리나라에서는 이에 대한 연구가 미약한 편이다. 본 연구에서는 정치적 위험의 기존 방법의 문제점인 보편타당성과 편승효과를 극복할 수 있는 구조적ㆍ질적 방법을 소개하는데 주 목적이 있다. 적용방법의 타당성을 제시하기 위하여 중국의 정치환경을 사례로 분석 하였다. 구체적으로는 델파이분석에 의거하여 향후 5~10년에 걸친 중국의 정치 및 정책변화의 가능성과 변화 발생시기를 예측하였으며, 텔파이분석 결과를 교차영향력 분석에 적용함으로써 변화요인 상호간의 관련성을 추정하였다. 교차영향력 분석의 결과를 바탕으로 시나리오를 작성함으로써 중국의 정치환경변화의 대안을 마련하였으며, 중국 정치환경변화의 대응전략을 탐색하기 위하여 면접조사를 시행하였다. 델파이방법, 교차 영향력분석과 시나리오 작성법을 체계적ㆍ순차적으로 일관성있게 적용한 것이 본 연구의 특색이라 하겠다.

The purpose of the study was to investigate how the Cheongwon Organic Life Festival, a rural festival, affects the farmers of the local farms in Cheongju. Based on grounded theory, this study analyzed the objective using a qualitative research program, the Nvivo11 program. The data was collected through in depth interviews from 13 farmers who participated in the Cheongwon Organic Life Festival, and were also residents of Chungcheungbuk-do. The roles of the local festival expected by farmers, were the sale of local agricultural products, local public relations, regional revitalization, a sense of pride as a farmer, exchange of business ideas for sales of agricultural products, and a line of direct communication between farmers and consumers. The farmers who participated in the Cheongwon Organic Life Festival insisted that sales should rise. The results showed that the farmers who participated in the festival felt socially and psychologically stable while participating. The programs at the Cheongwon Organic Life Festival include a concert, hands on involvement, and agricultural sales, which have a direct influence on both sales and attracting visitors during the local festival. Farmers who participated in the Cheongwon Organic Life Festival asked for the improvement of the overall operation of the festival, including the problems with the admission tickets, parking, arrangement of facilities, festival venue, time, and etc. The suggested improvements for the Cheongwon Organic Life Festival focused on the quality certification system of agricultural products, as well as the organic farming of products, thereby to gain trust from the consumers.
