The purpose of this study is to examine the concepts and features of K-fishbone analysis used in the AeLT program and to find suggestions. For this purpose, I analyzed the AeLT Training Manual and lecture PPT file and AeLT final reports. The procedure of K-fishbone analysis is as follows. First, specify the problem to be solved. Second, brainstorm the cause and factor of the problem. Third, cluster problems and elements with the same factors. Fifth, the branching branches (2nd branch , 3rd branch) extending from large thorns become the sub-cause. After all the causes of the problem have been identified, the causal relationship and the correlational relationship are analyzed. The cause of receiving the most arrows is the fundamental cause and the priority of the solution. K-fishbone analysis should 1) consider as many causes and sub-factors as possible through brainstorming and 2) by doing casual and correlation relationship analysis, help to ① determine the more critical factors of the problem, ② remove unnecessary elements that hinder the discussion, so increase concentration on the subject, and ③ in the situation of the lack of data and information, improve the analyst's understanding of the problem and its causes. Moreover 3) It is suitable for solving problems especially in developing countries. The implications of K-fishbone analysis are as follows. First, it can be effectively used in invitational training for policy makers in developing countries. Second, it will be more widely used in inquiry classes in the school. Third, it can be widely extended and utilized as a method of RCA.

The purpose of this article is to understand the status of education informatization in the Philippines based on trainee reports of the APEC e-Learning Training Program from 2007 to 2013. The entire number of the Philippines trainees was 60. 15 K-Fishbone analyses, project areas of interest, and purpose for participation in the training course were included in the scope of analysis. Specifically, this paper highlighted a trend in changing ICT policies and initiatives in the Philippines through K-Fishbone analysis. There were 3 major trend shifts in education informatization: the initial period (2007~2008) showed a Reversed Trapezoidal type, which then changed to Diamond type (2009~2011) and recently to Left Side Stingray type (2012~2013). Through the initial stage (2007~2008), education policy, an education integration system, motivation and HW, SW were all been equally important. During the interim period (2009~2011), supply of HW, SW and training received greater attention, followed by the demand for education policy and an education integration system in recent years (2012~2013). Finally, the analysis results of the K-Fishbone analysis proved that they fit well with the policies and initiatives implemented by the Philippines Department of Education.

The purpose of this research was to identify the situation of ICT use in education in the Russian region, its reasons, and possible problems and solutions. In order to achieve the attempted purpose, analysis was done on thirteen individual and collaborative final presentations of 34 Russian (Sakha) trainees who attended the APEC e-Learning Training Program during 2007-2013 and Russian government project on ICT in education. The results of the research are as follows. First, the most mentioned problem and need to the Russian education informatization was identified as a shortage of ICT equipment. The next two problems identified were the problem of the insufficiency of educational resources and lack of teacher motivation in using ICT. Third, the implementation of ICT in Russian schools should become one of the important objectives of the region’s education administration and school administration. Thus, Russian regional government officials, who are responsible for education, need training to implement better policies and measures for improvements of ICT use in education. Also it’s important for them to learn the best foreign experience in using ICT in Education and adapt it by taking into consideration culture, geographical and other regional features.

The purpose of this study is to discuss and analyze the trends in ICT in education informatization and the need for more scholarly research and dialogue done between Korea and Chile due to their similar ideals in furthering ICT in education in their respective economies. In result of this, 29 individual and team reports submitted by Chilean trainees in the APEC eLearning Trainee Program from 2006-2014 were analyzed. From this study, the results based on the reports were as follows. 1) The need for high quality teacher training programs created by the government and motivating the teachers to participate in these programs. 2) Implementation of more cooperation and collaboration between teacher-student, teacher-expert, and publicprivate partnership programs. 3) Improving students’ aptitude in utilizing ICT, especially in education. 4) Due to the majority of the trainees’ coming from the teaching profession, more research is needed to be done by other stakeholders involved in education informatization, such as government officials, learners, and professors, in order to enhance the totality of this study.

The Asia-Pacific region is an engine of global growth in political, economic, social and cultural aspects but tangible and intangible conflicts also remain in the region due to different backgrounds and experiences in history, culture, and so forth. In this respect, APEC has played its role to narrow divides and facilitate cooperative activities among 21 member economies since 1989. However, it is required to point out how these member economies can initiate and manage cooperative activities efficiently under challenging situations like recent economic crisis and remaining conflicts. This paper presents the role of education to enable member economies to understand each other and find a way to work together, and reviews one representative international educational APEC project: APEC Future Education Forum.

This paper explores the APEC Edutainment Exchange Program (AEEP) as a model for international student exchange. This program has been conducted in the APEC region since 2007 to respond to the increasing international demand for youth exchange. The AEEP is based on PBL (project based learning)- oriented experiential learning, and includes multinational team activities with support systems formed by human and physical resources. Accordingly, this paper reviewed prior research on international student exchange programs and experiential learning, as well as the AEEP. While the AEEP cases reviewed here focus on the participants in the Asia-Pacific, this paper demonstrates the potential of this program to be applied to similar situations elsewhere.

The purpose of this study is to develop preliminary learning program of UCC making techniques for assistance of project based international students exchange program. This study drew design principles based on examination from the experts and the experts from the field which resulted in development of Tam & Edy advance learning program for AEEP with the assistance of application enterprise. Multinational students will be able to receive help through Tam & Edy learning in terms of international exchange of AEEP learning activities.

개방화, 세계화의 심화로 국제사회 및 국가간의 상호의존성이 확대되고 있으며, 이에 따라 국제개발협력의 역할과 중요성도 커지고 있다. 또한 글로벌 시장의 개방과경쟁이 날로 심화되고 선진국 위주의 시장확대, 성장이 한계에 다다름은 물론 OECDDAC 가입 등 외교적 국격향상에 따라 대개도국 국제개발협력 확대에 대한 내외부의수요가 증가하고 있다.이러한 대외환경의 빠른 변화는 정책 및 국제공조의 강화 등 거시적 수준의 변화뿐만 아니라 국제개발협력의 방법론의 미시적 수준의 변화를 동시에 요구한다. 이에본 연구는 국제개발협력의 방법론에 대한 새로운 접근법으로서 오픈 이노베이션의 가치를 검토 하였고, 특히 교육분야에서 오픈 이노베이션의 운영사례인 ALCoB을 분석하여 향후 국제개발협력 방법론의 대안을 제시하고자 하였다.

Persistent accidents related to food safety and expanded international trades have urged the world to be aware of the gravity of the accidents. Accordingly many countries have tried to come up with various laws, regulations, measures, support networks and educational programs for the agenda, particularly focusing on harmonizing food safety technologies among nations and fostering professionals. Also, APEC newly organized Food Safety Cooperation Forum (FSCF) in 2007 to exert multi-dimensional efforts to improve food safety for Asia Pacific nations. Up to now, 35 activities have been promoted since 2007 and additional 20 activities are waiting for their turns for action on the list of APEC project agenda. FSCF has the objective that it helps the stakeholders in food supply chain develop their own competence in that area, thus increase international trade among nations and maintain the globe healthy by applying the highest standards and best practices for the management of food safety ranging from production to consumption. To achieve this strategic objective, APEC subsequently formed Partnership Training Institute Network (PTIN) to build up the multilateral networks of specialists from governmental agencies engaging in food safety management, industries, academia and international organizations in Asia-Pacific region. This attempt made it possible for the world to exchange their scientific and technological information concerning food safety and strengthen related education and training. Today, international cooperation is essential for food safety management. Therefore, we need to participate actively in the activities of APEC FSCF to contribute to improving food safety technologies for the member countries of APEC. We also need to connect the domestic support programs with theirs.
