본 연구는 정보통신기술(ICT)이 재가노인 돌봄에 미치는 긍정 적인 영향을 실증적으로 확인하고, 이를 통해 고령자의 건강, 안 전성, 삶의 질 향상과 돌봄 제공자의 효율성 증대를 분석하였다. 연구 대상은 K도 G군에서 디지털 돌봄을 받고 있는 재가노인 16명과 ICT 기술 활용 경험이 있는 돌봄 종사자 16명이다. 연 구 기간은 2024년 12월 25일부터 2025년 1월 31일까지(약 2 개월)였으며, 연구 결과 ICT 기술은 고령자의 건강 관리와 사고 예방에 중요한 역할을 하며, 실시간 모니터링 및 데이터 분석을 통해 효율적인 건강 관리를 가능하게 하였다. 또한 ICT 기술은 자율성 향상, 신체적·정신적 건강 개선, 여가 및 사회적 참여를 유도하여 삶의 질 향상에 기여하였다. 사회적 고립감 해소 측면 에서도 ICT 기술은 사회적 상호작용을 촉진하며 외로움 극복에 도움을 주었다. 더불어 ICT 기반 돌봄 서비스는 돌봄 제공자의 업무 효율성과 경제적 효율성을 향상시키는 데 기여하였다. 본 연구는 ICT 기술을 활용한 돌봄 시스템의 확대 및 발전의 필요 성을 강조하였다.

The research assesses the impact of a digital procurement (e-purjee) system for sugarcane growers in Bangladesh. The system itself is simple, transmitting purchase orders to local farmers via SMS text notifi cation. It replaces a traditional paper-based system fraught with low reliability and delivery delays. Applying expected value theory, and using decision tree representations to depict growers’ decision-making complexity in an information-asymmetric environment, we compute outcomes for the strategies and sub-strategies of ICT vs. traditional paper-based order management from the sugarcane growers’ perspective. The study results show that the digital procurement system outperforms the paper-based system by tangibly reducing growers’ economic losses. The digital system also appears to benefit growers non-monetarily, because of reduced uncertainty and a higher level of perceived fairness. Sugarcane growers appear to value the non-monetary benefi ts even higher than the economic advantages of the e-purjee system.

This article provides a brief description of the vision and implementation timetable for the iriformation and communication technology (JCT) education policy in Hong Kong. The author examines the effects on teaching and learning of a schoolclosing crisis resulting from the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The findings were that most schools in Hong Kong were still at the elementary stage of using JCT in education. In addition, the author highlights the significant roles of leaders in culture development in schools concluding that the realization of shortfalls is itself a big step forward in making changes.

Malaysian secondary school teachers' readiness to use Information Communication Technology (ICT) is considered a critical skill in terms of national goals for schools that will prepare students to compete in the knowledge economy of the 21st century. The study investigated 303 teachers' ICT readiness in terms of their basic ICT knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards ICT. Data were collected via the Teachers' ICT Readiness instrument which consisted of an ICT knowledge test, an ICT skills test, and attitude towards ICT questionnaire. The results indicated that the majority of teachers had a moderate level of basic ICT knowledge and skills. A majority of the teachers too had a positive attitude towards ICT. Discussion and recommendations focus on the need to capitalize on the positive attitudes to turn these into action, increasing readiness to use ICT.

When it is viewed with hierarchy as a constructional element of education of subject-matter, the objectives model of Tyler's proposed that educational objectives are the most important element which should be decided first in rotational process of curriculum. This is an answer for question of the reason of teaching ICT in school and the most important foundation for upright establishing of ICT education.
