Parents in South Korea are known for their high level of educational zeal for their children. As a result, their children usually take extra classes in institutions as well as participate in other extracurricular activities such as sports and music. The purpose of this study was to examine the lifestyle and dietary behaviors of Korean elementary students involved in such activities. The total number of subjects was 550 fourth to sixth graders in elementary schools in Sejong, Korea. Of the total subjects, 88.0% were involved in extracurricular classes or other activities for an average of 7.34 hours/week. The subjects were assigned to one of four groups based on the degree of extracurricular activities: No extra-class (n=66), Low extra-class (1${\leq}$taking time<5 hours/week, n=118), Medium extra-class (5${\leq}$taking time<10 hours/week, n=184), and High extra-class (taking time${\geq}$10 hours/week, n=182). More subjects in the High extra-class group went to bed late (P<0.01), were under stress (P<0.01), and skipped breakfast, compared with those in the other groups. The ratio of students who answered 'I go to an institute without a meal' (P<0.01), 'I prepare a meal for myself' (P=0.053), or 'I eat out before going to an institute' (P<0.01) was higher in the High extra-class group than in the Low extra-class group. The frequency of eating fast food was higher in the High extra-class group, compared with the other groups. These results indicate that a high amount of extracurricular studies may have a negative effect on the children's lifestyles and dietary behaviors. Therefore, this study alerts parents to the potential harm of excessive extracurricular activities to their children's health.

The purpose of this study is to activate Home Economics integrated career education for strengthening career development competency in a career education intensive semester & grade system. To do this, the trend of subjects-integrated career education, and the relationship between achievement standards of Home Economics in high school and career development competency were analyzed, methods for Home Economics subjects-integrated career education were investigated, then a case study was developed. The main research results of this study are as follows. First despite the importance of subjects-integrated career education, there are much rooms to improve in operation of the career education intensive semester & grade system. Therefore, the systematic preparation for subjects-integrated career education is required at the time of application of the 2015 revised curriculum and the expansion of the career education intensive semester & grade system. Second, all achievement criteria in three domains of Home Economics were shown to be highly related to career development competency. Eventually it could be confirmed that the Home Economics is a core subject that meets the goals of career education and hones career development competency to be prepared as future human resources. Finally, in order to strengthen the career development competency, a case study of Home Economics integrated career curriculum focusing on the association with curriculum-teaching & learning-evaluation was developed and proposed. Even though the developed case study of curriculum has not been proven yet in the class, this study is expected to contribute to the enlargement of career education of Home Economics in the career education intensive semester & grade system as fundamental data for integration of Home Economics and career education.

본 연구는 2019년 물관리기본법 시행과 함께 추진하는 유역물관리체제 수립과 운영에 대해 분석하고자 한다. 유역물관리는 기존의 행정체계 중심으로 추진된 물관리에서 드러난 비효율성을 극복하고 물순환에 기초하여 더욱 효율적이고 자연 친화적으로 운영하고자 하는 통합물관리의 기초이다. 유역물관리제도를 적절하게 수립하고 운영하기 위해서는 한국보다 앞서 유역물관리제도를 채택하고 운영해온 경험을 면밀하게 검토하고 장단점을 학습하여 한국 현실에 맞게 응용하는 지혜가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 유역물관리제도를 성공적으로 수립하고 운영해 온 영국(잉글랜드 및 웨일스)과 프랑스 사례를 검토하여 시사점을 도출하고자 한다. 영국(잉글랜드 및 웨일스)은 1973년 유역관리청을 10개 대유역에 설치하여 유역물관리체제를 수립하고 운영하였지만 1970년대 및 1980년대 경제난을 겪으면서 관련 투자가 줄어들고 하천의 수질 악화가 지속하였으며 유역관리청과 지방정부와의 긴밀한 협조 부재로 관리의 어려움이 증가하였다. 결국, 1989년 10개의 유역관리청을 상하수도 서비스회사로 전환하고 물서비스감시청, 음용수감시국, 환경청 등의 규제기관을 수립하여 규제와 서비스를 분리한 독특한 유역물관리체제를 수립하였다. 영국의 유역물관리체제는 2000년 유럽연합물관리지침의 도입으로 10개 유역을 11개의 유역으로 재편하고 국가소통위원회, 유역소통위원회 14개, 유역파트너쉽 100개 등의 기구를 설치하여 유역거버넌스를 강화하였다. 프랑스는 1964년 새로운 물법 도입을 통해 전국을 6개 대유역으로 나누고 각 유역에 유역관리청과 유역위원회를 설치하여 본격적인 유역물관리제도를 수립하였다. 초기에는 유역관리 조직과 지방정부 간의 알력이 상당하여 수도요금에 자동부과되는 약 19%에 달하는 물세에 대한 거부감이 상당하였다. 그런데 이러한 물세가 유역관리청의 관리로 물관리 사업을 위한 펀드로 조성되고 물관리 사업 시행 시 대규모 자금을 조달할 수 있다는 실효성이 입증되면서 점차 유역관리제도가 정착할 수 있게 되었다. 프랑스는 2000년 유럽연합물관리지침의 도입으로 기존의 6개 대유역으로 관리하던 것을 13개 유역으로 재편성하였고 유역감독관 제도를 신설하여 중앙의 감독을 강화하였으며 유역관리청과 유역위원회는 더욱 강화된 거버넌스를 기반으로 효율적인 물관리를 시행하고 있다. 영국과 프랑스 사례는 한국의 유역물관리제도 수립과 운영을 위해 다음과 같은 시사점을 준다. 첫째, 2019년 시행을 앞둔 유역물관리위원회의 구성, 운영 및 역할 등에 대해서는 큰 범위에서 합의를 이뤄야 하겠지만 안정적인 운영과 사업 시행을 위해서는 긴 시간이 필요하다는 점이다. 따라서 인내심과 여유를 갖고 임하되 필요한 원칙은 면밀한 검토와 합의를 통해 세워야 할 것이다. 둘째, 거버넌스의 중요성이다. 영국 사례와 같이 이해당사자 간의 대화와 타협은 중앙정부가 주도하는 것이 아닌 유역, 지방, 도시 등에서의 이해당사자들이 함께 이룩해야 한다. 셋째, 유역관리조직을 위한 건전한 재정확보이다. 프랑스의 예와 같이 유역물관리 조직의 독립성은 재정적 독립이 근본이 되어야 하고 이것은 독립재정을 확보하여 중앙 혹은 기타 유역/지방 조직의 간섭을 피해야 한다.

The purpose of this study is to develop and implement a secondary teacher training program based on the TPACK model to strengthen the capacity of teachers of youth entrepreneurship education in the context of the increasing importance of entrepreneurship as a future competency, and to provide theoretical and practical implications based on it. To this end, a teacher training program was developed through the process of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation based on the ADDIE model, and 22 secondary school teachers in Gangwon Province were trained and the effectiveness and validity were analyzed. First, the results of the paired sample t-test of TPACK in entrepreneurship education conducted before and after the program showed statistically significant improvements in all sub-competencies. Second, the satisfaction survey of the training program showed that the overall satisfaction was high with M=4.83. Third, the validity of the program was reviewed by three experts, and it was found to be highly valid with a validity of M=5.0, usefulness of M=4.7, and universality of M=5.0. Based on the results, it is suggested that in order to expand entrepreneurship education, opportunities for teachers' holistic capacity building such as TPACK should be expanded, teachers' understanding and practice of backward design should be promoted, and access to various resources that can be utilized in entrepreneurship education should be improved.

The purpose of this study was to develop a plan to ensure that students lacking basic science skills acquire the minimum needed science learning ability while completing the common curriculum. We surveyed 27 elementary and secondary science teachers with experience in research and teaching related to basic skills support to investigate their perceptions of the criteria for minimum achievement standards using Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results indicated that the science teachers tended to describe low achievers as lacking science learning competency, accumulating a science learning deficit, and lacking prerequisite knowledge. However, there were some differences in the characteristics that the elementary and secondary teachers paid attention to in students with insufficient science and basic academic skills. Specifically, the secondary teachers demonstrated greater sensitivity towards low learning motivation and difficulties in using scientific symbols, whereas the elementary teachers were more sensitive towards students' attitudes towards science or lack of experience. Furthermore, it has been observed that the prioritization of items, categorized by school level, differs in terms of setting minimum achievement standards to ensure basic skill support. This implies the need to develop minimum achievement standards considering various variables based on the school level. As there are diverse opinions among science teachers, depending on their expertise, regarding the factors to be considered when developing these standards to guarantee science and basic skill support. Based on the findings of the study, policy support is required to enhance teachers' professionalism in developing students' basic skills while considering the individual context and diversity of low achievers. Additionally, it is crucial to establish a shared vision for students lacking basic skills to reduce the gap between national policy and the practices of science teachers in ensuring support for basic skills.

In this paper, we propose a new approach to speaker identification technique which uses an ensemble of multiple classifiers (speaker identifiers). KPCA (kernel principal component analysis) enhances features for each classifier. To reduce the processing time and memory requirements, we select limited number of samples randomly which are used as estimation set for each KPCA basis. The experimental result shows that the proposed approach gives a higher identification accuracy than GKPCA (greedy kernel principal component analysis).

This paper deals with traveling salesman problem(TSP) with the stochastic travel time. Practically, the travel time between demand points changes according to day and time zone because of traffic interference and jam. Since the almost pervious studies focus on TSP with the deterministic travel time, it is difficult to apply those results to logistics problem directly. But many logistics problems are strongly related with stochastic situation such as stochastic travel time. We need to develop the efficient solution method for the TSP with stochastic travel time. From the previous researches, we know that Q-learning technique gives us to deal with stochastic environment and neural network also enables us to calculate the Q-value of Q-learning algorithm. In this paper, we suggest an algorithm for TSP with the stochastic travel time integrating Q-learning and neural network. And we evaluate the validity of the algorithm through computational experiments. From the simulation results, we conclude that a new route obtained from the suggested algorithm gives relatively more reliable travel time in the logistics situation with stochastic travel time.

When participating in problem-based learning (PBL), it is important for medical students to generate claims and provide justifications for their claims in small group discussions. This study aimed to investigate the effect of argumentation instruction on medical student learning experiences with PBL. A total of one hundred first-year preclinical students from Inje University College of Medicine, who had attended argumentation instruction, participated in this study. All of the participants completed a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire regarding their learning experiences with PBL, before and after the argumentation instruction. The questionnaire comprised 22 items with eight subcategories: argumentation activity, reflection, integration of basic and clinical science, identification of lack of knowledge, logical thinking, self-directed study, communication, and attitude toward discussion. The collected data were analyzed through a paired-sample t-test. The results of this study found that the argumentation instruction promoted the preclinical students' experiences with argumentation activities, reflection, an integration of basic and clinical science, the identification of their lack of knowledge, logical thinking, and self-directed study, and it increased positive attitudes toward group discussion. The findings suggest argumentation instruction can enhance medical student group discussions and help students achieve the objectives of PBL, including acquisition of basic and clinical science knowledge and development of clinical reasoning and self-directed learning abilities, which can highlight the meaningful learning experiences students have with PBL.

오랜 세월동안 위대한 이동수단을 만들어내고자 하는 인간의 꿈은 오늘날 눈부신 각종 운송기구를 만들어 내는 결실을 얻고 있다. 자동차 네비게이션 시스템도 그러한 결실중의 한 예라고 할 수 있을 것이다. 지능적으로 판단하고 정보를 처리할 수 있는 자동차 네비게이션 시스템을 부착함으로써 한 단계 발전한 운송수단으로 진화할 수 있을 것이다. 이러한 자동차 네비게이션 시스템의 단점이라면 한정된 리소스만으로 여러 가지 작업을 수행해야만 하는 어려움이다. 그래서 네비게이션 시스템의 주요 작업중의 하나인 경로를 추출하는 경로추출(Route Planning) 작업은 한정된 리소스에서도 최적의 경로를 찾을 수 있는 지능적인 방법이어야만 한다. 이러한 경로를 추출하는 작업을 하는데 기존에 일반적으로 쓰였던 두 가지 방법에는 Dijkstra s algorithm과 A*algorithm이 있다. 이 두 방법은 최적의 경로를 찾아낸다는 점은 있지만 경로를 찾기 위해서 알고리즘의 특성상 각각, 넓은 영역에 대하여 탐색작업을 해야 하고 또한 수행시간이 많이 걸린다는 단점과 또한 경로를 계산하기 위해서 Heuristic function을 추가적인 정보로 계산을 해야 한다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 적은 탐색 영역을 가지면서 또한 최적의 경로를 추출하는데 드는 수행시간은 작으며 나아가 동적인 교통환경에서도 최적의 경로를 추출할 수 있는 최적 경로 추출방법을 강화학습의 일종인 Q- Learning을 이용하여 구현해 보고자 한다.
