본 연구는 급변하는 디지털 환경 하에서 개인의 정보추구 행동에 영향 을 미치는 변인들을 확인하는 것이 목적이었다. 이를 위해 디지털 리터 러시와 미디어 교육 경험을 독립변인으로 하여 각 변인의 하위 구성요소 가 정보추구 행동(검색과 공유)에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 조사하였다. 대학생 총 226명을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 실시한 결과, 디지털 리 터러시의 구성요소인 정서와 참여, 비판적 읽기는 검색행동과 공유행동 에 정적(+) 영향력을 보여주었으나, 가치는 공유행동에 부(-)적 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 미디어 교육 경험은 학교와 가정의 미디어 교육 경험이 모두 정보추구 행동(검색과 공유)에 정(+)적 영향을 보여주 고 있었다. 이러한 연구결과는 추후 적극적인 정보추구 행동을 위해 디 지털 리터러시의 정서와 참여, 비판적 읽기를 향상시킬 수 있는 학교와 가정의 미디어 교육에 단초를 제공한다.

The purpose of this study is to observe the influence education experience (home, school, and mass media) on reducing practice behavior(purchasing, using, disposing and leading) of food-related wastes. The study also sought to promote strategy and suggest effective activation plans for the vitalization of behavior of reducing food-related wastes. The study subjects were 412 adult consumers who answered a structured questionnaire. The main findings are as follows: First, the scores of home education experience were 3.61±0.71, which was the highest, and 3.45±0.74 for school education experience, which was the lowest. Second, according to factor analysis, the reducing practice behavior of food-related wastes was converged purchasing, using, disposing and leading behavior. The scores of disposing behavior were 3.79±0.67, which was the highest, and 2.87±0.82 for leading behavior, which was the lowest. Third, the common variables influencing the reducing practice behavior(purchasing, using, disposing and leading) of food-related wastes were home education and mass media and the powerful variable influencing was home education. The results of this study can be used as basic data for the development of educational programs for effective food-related waste reduction.

This study attempted to examine what changes of creative play characteristics occur when having education experience using multimedia in the field of early childhood education. In order to conduct the study, 15 infants at H day care center and 15 infants at S day care center, both located in Seoul, were selected as the subjects. The program processing was composed of extension activities using multimedia after listening to fairy tales using multimedia. For study instrument, the behavior test for creative play developed by Hwang Yoon Sae (2008) was used. This instrument consisted of total 5 subfactors: intrinsic motivation – imagination; sensitivity – curiosity; durability – immersion; various interests – challenge; and initiative – independence. For statistical analysis, SPSS 17.0 was used, and t-test was used for the statistic process. As a result of the experiment, it was concluded that the education experience using multimedia has positive effect on overall characteristics of creative behavior of infants; in detail, behavior characteristics of infants in the aspects of intrinsic motivation – imagination, sensitivity – curiosity, and durability – immersion were remarkably improved, whereas the characteristics in the aspects of interests – challenge and initiative-independence did not show any particular changes. In other words, the infants who receive a lot of multimedia materials have more creative thinking than those who do not receive a lot of multimedia materials, and this thinking ability is also reflected in play activities.
