본 연구에서는 에듀테크를 선도적으로 활용하는 과학 교사 18명을 목적표집하여 그들이 수행한 과학 수업 사례 와 설문지를 분석하여 에듀테크 활용 과학 수업에 대한 교사의 실행과 인식을 탐색하였다. 연구 결과, 과학 교사들은 수업 중에는 교과 특화 에듀테크를 주로 사용하지만, 수업 전과 후에는 학습 자료를 준비하고 학생 산출물을 관리하기 위해 범교과 에듀테크를 다양하게 활용하였다. 또한 교사 주도의 전체 학습뿐만 아니라, 학생 주도 소집단 협력 학습 및 개별 학습과 같은 다양한 수업 맥락에서 에듀테크를 폭넓게 적용하는 것으로 나타났다. 교사들은 에듀테크를 선별할 때 교육적 유용성과 구현성, 접근의 용이성, 사용 방법의 간편성, 공동 작업 및 상호작용의 용이성, 기기의 호환성, 관 리의 편의성 등을 중요하게 여겼으며, 학생들이 창의적 아이디어를 구체화하고, 다양한 방식으로 학습 결과물을 생산 및 공유할 기회를 에듀테크가 제공한다는 점에 주목하였다. 연구 결과를 토대로 에듀테크 활용 과학 수업이 효과적으로 구현되기 위해 교사와 학생의 교과 역량과 디지털 역량의 균형 있는 지원 방안을 제언하였다.

With the rise of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles, an increasing number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have recognized the significant role of ESG. However, due to limited funding and resources, many SMEs are still confused about how to take the first step toward implementing ESG. This study focuses on 360 SMEs and employs SmartPLS 4.0 for data analysis. The results show that background driving factors (the necessity of ESG), as well as external pressure factors (government pressure, media pressure, and competitive pressure), all have a positive influence on SMEs’ intention to adopt ESG practices. Through a comparative analysis between South Korea and China, the study finds that there is no significant difference between the two countries in terms of the impact of the necessity of ESG on the adoption intention. However, government pressure has a more significant impact on the ESG adoption intention of SMEs in China than in South Korea. In contrast, media pressure and competitive pressure have a more significant effect on the intention of SMEs in South Korea than in China. This research provides a theoretical foundation for enhancing the understanding of SMEs' intentions to adopt ESG practices, which is crucial for promoting social responsibility and enhancing competitiveness. It also offers empirical supp.ort and policy recommendations for policymakers and SME managers, especially in the context of rapidly changing international economic and trade environments, multi-dimensional pressures, and sustainable development strategies.

The objectives of the study were to examine food waste generation and reduction efforts at home, and to identify factors affecting the intention to reduce food waste. A total of 3,321 food buyer responses were used from the 2022 Consumer Behavior Survey for Food of the Korea Rural Economic Institute. Statistical methods for a complex sample were applied by using a SPSS program (ver. 26.0). The average daily food waste generation per household significantly differed by the main food purchaser’s age and household size. Plate waste and food waste from preparation were the main types of food waste. A multiple regression analysis revealed that intention to reduce food waste was influenced by the main types of food waste, the average daily amount of food waste, the perceived amount of food waste, and the perceived importance of food waste reduction after adjusting for the age of the main food purchaser and household size. Since the amount of food waste was affected by a series of food behaviors as well as consumer’s intention to reduce waste, empirical research on the types and amounts of food waste generated in Korean households and qualitative research on behaviors and attitude affecting food waste are needed.

This study examines the beliefs and practices regarding performance assessment among Korean English teachers in secondary schools. A survey was conducted with 109 teachers using a 52-item online questionnaire to investigate the extent to which teachers’ beliefs align with their instructional practices and to categorize them based on these criteria. Although teachers acknowledge the pedagogical advantages of performance assessment, a significant gap exists between their beliefs and actual implementation, primarily due to the considerable time required for its execution. Teachers with longer tenure and higher qualifications demonstrated a more positive and effective application of performance assessment. The findings highlight the necessity for targeted professional development to enhance teachers’ use of performance assessment strategies, especially for those who are skeptical about their effectiveness. Such initiatives are essential for bridging the gap between beliefs and practices, fostering an environment that promotes the effective use of performance assessment, and ultimately improving teaching quality and student learning outcomes in Korean English education.

최근 과학 교육 분야에서는 체화된 인지 혹은 인지의 체화성 또는 신체성에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 그런데 여러 과학 분야 중에서도 지구과학은 체화된 인지가 중요한 역할을 하는 분야임에도 불구하고, 그동안 지구과학 교육에 서 이에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 미흡한 편이다. 이 점을 고려하여 본 연구에서는 지질 현장에서 이루어지는 탐구를 중심으로 지구과학적 실행의 체화성에 대해 이론적으로 고찰하였다. 이를 위해 체화된 인지와 지구과학적 실행에 관한 문헌들을 고찰하고, 그 내용을 ‘지각하기, 상상하기, 표상하기’라는 현장 기반의 지질학 탐구의 세 단계에 따라 제시하 였다. 지질학 탐구 현장에서 지각하기는 몸의 여러 가지 지각 활동을 토대로 탐구 대상에 대한 정보를 창출하는 과정 이다. 상상하기 과정에서는 신체적 경험이 상상의 내용을 제공하며 신체적 제약이 몸의 한계를 뛰어넘는 상상을 유발한 다는 점에서 체화성이 중요한 역할을 한다. 표상하기는 몸을 사용하여 지질학적 탐구 대상의 특징이나 과정을 재현하는 과정으로서, 지질학 탐구의 체화성을 잘 나타내고 있다. 지구과학적 실행의 체화성에 관한 이러한 고찰이 지구과학 교 육에 시사하는 점을 논의하였다.

중동에는 분쟁과 갈등이 상존해 왔다. 이 연구의 목적은 전쟁과 대립 속에 있는 아랍 세계를 향한 선교 방법론과 실천 과제들을 모색하는 것이다. 근대부터 현대까지 팔레스타인-이스라엘 분쟁, 시리아 내전과 이슬람 국가(IS), 하마스-이스라엘 전쟁은 아랍 민족들의 생존을 위협 해 왔다. 위기 속에서 아랍 민족들은 내부 도시들과 주변국으로 이동해 난민의 신분으로 살아가고 있다. 이 연구는 아랍 세계의 분쟁 가운데 아랍 민족들을 향한 선교의 실천에 초점을 맞춘다. 이를 위해, 팔레스타 인 기독교, 로잔 운동(Lausanne Movement), 세계교회협의회(WCC) 의 선교 성명서들을 고찰하고 분석한다. 선교 성명서들에 근거하여 전쟁과 대립의 현장에서 아랍 세계를 향한 선교의 실천 과제들을 도출한 다. 결론적으로, 이 연구는 분쟁과 갈등 가운데 아랍 민족들을 향해 새롭게 실천해야 할 선교적 과제들을 제시하고 있다.

Pepper cultivation requires a great amount of manual labor, especially for varieties needing support stakes to prevent them bending or breaking in heavy winds or rain. In Korea, it is recommended to secure support stakes and string lines carefully, so as to minimize the risk of damage caused by typhoons. The harvesting of peppers is a labor-intensive process with low rates of mechanization.The removal of stakes is particularly time-consuming during mechanical harvesting, and lodging is a major issue during cultivation and mechanical harvesting. Given increased mechanization during pepper harvesting, it is important to consider these issues when undertaking variety development and cultivation method improvements. Further research and development are required to improve cultivation practices and develop pepper varieties that are more resistant to lodging. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of different cultivation methods on pepper lodging, thus broadening our knowledge on the desirable architecture of pepper plants required for lodging tolerance.

This study investigated associations between healthy dietary practices and the odds of prediabetes among Korean adolescents. The data of 1,624 adolescents aged 12 to 18 who participated in the 2017-2021 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. Healthy dietary practices were defined according to Health Plan 2030 criteria, and prediabetes was defined as a fasting blood glucose level of 100-125 mg/dL. After controlling for confounders, adjusting odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for prediabetes were determined for different healthy dietary practices using multivariable logistic regression analysis. Compared with adolescents who engaged in healthy dietary practices, those who did not had a 1.63-fold (95% CI: 1.12-2.37) higher odds of prediabetes. In addition, adolescents who did not consume ≥500 g of fruit and vegetables daily and those who refrained from reading nutritional fact labels, which are both subindicators of healthy dietary practices, had a 1.66 (95% CI: 1.05-2.62) and 1.58-fold (95% CI: 1.06-2.37) higher odds of prediabetes, respectively, than those who did. Increasing the proportion of adolescents engaging in healthy dietary practices, such as consuming ≥500 g of fruit and vegetables daily and reading nutritional fact labels when selecting food, is imperative.

Abstract Purpose : The aim of this study was to identify knowledge and lifestyle habits for glaucoma prevention and to present basic data for future glaucoma prevention education. Methods : From April to September 2023, 447 people in their 20s to 60s were selected and an online survey was conducted. The questionnaire consisted of a total of 30 questions, including 6 questions about the subject's general characteristics, 14 questions about knowledge and awareness of glaucoma, and 10 questions about lifestyle habits related to intraocular pressure. Results : 89.7% responded that they had heard of glaucoma, and 31.1% of respondents knew the difference between glaucoma and cataracts. 34.5% responded that early detection is difficult, 33.3% that complete treatment is difficult, 23.5% that even normal intraocular pressure can cause glaucoma, and 36.0% that the incidence of glaucoma is increasing day by day. The level of awareness and knowledge was higher with age, in women than men, in those with a family history, in professional occupations, with metabolic diseases, and with high myopia. Lifestyle habits related to intraocular pressure were higher with age, among women, when smartphone use was less than 3 hours, and among housewives and professionals. The relationship between glaucoma knowledge and awareness and intraocular pressure-related lifestyle habits was statistically significant (r=0.248, p<0.001). Conclusion : Although the level of basic knowledge about glaucoma was high, the level of specific knowledge was low compared to the increase in the incidence of glaucoma over the past 10 years. Key words : Glaucoma, Healthy Life Practices, Intraocular pressure

This study examined translingual practices in two playdates of a Korean four-year-old boy (Theo) with a Korean boy and an American boy. The boys played a game called Candy Land. In both playdates, the boys’ naturally occurring English and Korean communication strategies were observed and analyzed based on Canagarajah’s (2013) four types of negotiation strategies: envoicing, recontextualization, interactional, and entextualization. They adapted and accommodated translingual practices in communicative situations using strategies such as body language, whispering, codemeshing, and codeswitching. Interviews were conducted with Theo to examine his understanding of his language as a user of Korean and English in the United States. Theo expressed his thoughts about language in metaphor, using his hands, and asserted that he needed English to have a sense of belonging and access to resources in his preschool.

본 연구는 취약계층의 디지털 포용을 위한 기업들의 사례를 통해 탐색하고 비즈니스 모델 캔버스를 활용하여 연구·분석하였다. 취약계층에 중점을 두고, 사업 영역을 구축하고 활동하는 기업의 사례를 통 해 디지털 포용 분야의 핵심 기업 비즈니스 모델을 핵심 구성 요소별로 살펴보고 고찰하였다. 그 결과, 첫째, 디지털 포용기업의 특징으로 사업 활동의 대상이나 목표가 결코 취약계층에만 있는 것이 아니라, 사업의 모든 활동과 과정에서 취약계층을 참여시키거나 핵심 활동의 일원으로 고용을 창 출하는 것 또한 디지털 포용의 큰 의미라고 할 수 있겠다. 둘째, 정부의 노력에도 불구하고 취약계층의 사각지대는 엄연히 존재하며, 디지털 소외 계층의 해소 와 디지털 격차를 줄이는 디지털 포용기업에 대한 정부 주도의 정책이나 제도적인 보완이 필요할 때인 것으로 판단된다. 셋째, 공유가치의 등장과 사회적 가치 창출이 지속 가능한 경영의 전략으로 주목받는 현대 사회의 핵 심 이슈에 걸맞은 신 기업가 정신의 연구와 일선 기업들의 노력이 필요할 때이다. 끝으로 취약계층의 포용과 배려를 위한 기업의 노력과 확산을 바라며, 기업의 공유가치와 사회적 가 치 창출에 대한 후속 연구를 기대해 본다.

This study aimed to determine the association between household types and healthy dietary practices among Korean adults. A cross-sectional analysis was performed using nationwide data on 23,488 participants from the 2017-2021 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Based on self-reported data, the participant household types were classified into single- and multi-person households. The adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for healthy dietary practices according to household types were calculated by applying multivariable logistic regression analysis after adjusting for confounders. Of total, 11.21% and 88.79% were single- and multi-person households, respectively. Compared with individuals living in multi-person households, those in single-person households had lower odds of adhering to healthy dietary practices (AOR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.79-0.98) and consuming adequate saturated fatty acids (<7% of energy) (AOR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.69-0.88). In addition, men and individuals aged 65 years living in single-person households exhibited lower odds of consuming adequate saturated fatty acids and 500 g of fruit and vegetables per day than those in multi-person households. Single-person households often find it a challenge to practice a healthy diet. Hence, nutritional policies and educational support that help individuals living alone consume healthier diets are warranted.

Consumer studies mainly take a cross-sectional approach to understand leisure and home consumption. This paper takes the mundane workplace as a unit of consumption and adopts a processual view to understand what and how cultural capital for impression management is acquired and changes over career trajectories. Integrating the theories of Goffman (1959) and Bourdieu (1977; 1984; 1990), the study explores how embodied habitual practices (habitus) enables and shapes impression management to build desirable work identity (Hallett, 2003). The walking-with interviews are used to seek conversations with senior executives in Hong Kong along their work routes. It proves to be a proficient approach and data collection technique to explore mundane consumption practices where knowledge is incorporated with people’s competence and artefacts (Mak, Lai, Tsaousi, & Davies, 2022). Among different resources for impression management, dining knowledge emerged as a significant cultural practices for performative self and building up of social capital.

James S. Gale (1863-1937), a Protestant missionary to Korea (1888~1927), was well-known for his extensive and profound influence on Korean studies and for his translation of the Cloud Dream of Nine (九雲夢), which was the first Korean classical novel translated into English by a Westerner. However, it is not well-known that Gale published a translation of the Great Learning (Daxue, 1924) and arranged for the publication of the Mean of the Doctrine, the Analects and Mencius. This is because it was known that Gale regarded Chinese characters and Confucian scriptures as obstacles to establishing the Christianity during his early period of mission in Korea. This paper examined the change of Gale’s perspective of Chinese characters and the characteristics of Gale’s Daxue. The analysis compares Gale and James Legg in their translations of the Chinese characters ‘命,’ ‘天,’ ‘明’ and ‘君子’ He employed the pure Korean word ‘Hananim’ for ‘God’ from a traditional Korean religion and its Korean etymology, while he rejected the use of Sino-Korean ‘Sangje上帝’, or ‘Chunju天主’ in the Korean Bible. Gale subsequently translated Daxue from a Korean point of view. However, his Korean perspective is mingled with Christianized concepts, which are illustrated in his translation of ‘命’ as ‘God’s command’ ‘天’ as ‘God’ ‘明’ as ‘glory,’ and ‘君子’ as ‘good man’ and ‘godly man.’
