The purpose of this study is to explore and describe of the reality of working poor in Korea. In spite of the increasing attention to the working poor, usual definitions of the working poor have some measurement questions. The definition of the working poor should focus on the key dimensions of work and poverty. This study defines working poor as all "persons who have devoted prior 6 months to working or looking for work and who lived in families with incomes below the poverty threshold". This study also defines poverty threshold based on the both concept of absolute and relative poverty. According to this definition, the working poor are almost equally divided between men and women and the majority of them are of prime working age. These characteristics of working poor are seems to be quite different from common sense. Also, serious deficiencies of human capital contribute to the employment problems of the working poor. Their education levels are much less than those of the working non-poor. The distributions of the employment status, occupation, and industry show also that the working poor are highly concentrated in a few low-wage jobs.

Despite the rapid growth of social care, understanding of care is segmental and caring is still marginalizing. The socialization of caring is actually a 'half-socialization' that is the result of injustice surrounding caring. Therefore, it is necessary to approach the problem of caring in terms of justice. In this paper, I discuss the limitations of social justice based on John Rawls 's social contract theory in the discussion of caring justice through feminists'writings on caring ethics. And then applying Nancy Fraser' s three scales of Justice-redistribution, recognition, and representation, the concept of caring justice has been newly constructed. The concept of caring is defined as a unified concept of caring including the aspect of the social rights of the care recipient as well as the labor rights of the care provider. Based on the analysis of care justice, we derive the ideal types of care policy and then evaluate the long-term care policy for the elderly, which is the central axis of Korean care policy. The results of this study are as follows: First, it is necessary to strengthen the labor rights of care providers especially for the socialization of care responsibilities and the proper allocation of social resources. Second, a service delivery system and care culture are needed to ensure the relational autonomy of care-receivers and care-givers for caring ethics and individualization of care. Third, the issue of care should be treated as the central agenda of politics in order to distribute care responsibility democratically and to distribute legitimate resources. This requires a paradigm shift from marginalization of care to mainstreaming of care. Ultimately, we should aim for a Caring Society.

The purpose of this study is to investigate students' understanding of functions based on concept image and concept definition suggested by Vinner, For the study a graphing calculator was provided as a tool for students to use for their exploration. Three students participated in the study using the qualitative research method to identify their processes of understanding functions. The student with previous experiences of the functions had various concept images about the functions and did not have many opportunities to modify their images because the student did not want to depend on the calculator. However, the student who did not have many chances to study about the functions before used the calculator effectively for developing the concept definition on the functions. The calculator played an important role in connecting different representations and finding relationships between these representations supported by dynamic exploration.

In this study, tlhe relationships of high school students' abilities to solve chemistry problems with cognitive variables (logical thinking ability, mental capacity. and learning strategy) and affective variables(self-efficacy, self-concept of ability, learning goal, and attitude toward science) were investigated. The proportion of variance due to the variables for algorithmic and conceptual problem solving ability was studied by a multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that, among the cognitive variables, the logical thinking ability significantly predicted the algorithmic problem solving ability, and the learning strategy was the best predictor of conceptual problem solving ability although not significant. Among the affective variables studied, the self-concept of alility was the significant predictor of both algorithmic and conceptual problem solving abilities. The seif-efficacy was significantly correlated with conceptual problem solving ability, but it had no predictive power.

This paper focuses on issues in the relat~onshlp of library and information science with a closely allied chsciphne, communication studies. It is obvious that researchers in both fields study topics similar in focus, such as information theory, information-seeking behavior includ~ng user studies, systems theory, invisible colleges, the diffusion of knowledge, human interaction with information /communication technologies and the information society. In order to discuss the comparison of theoretical

On inquiry of international comparison assessment, the Korean students achieve high scores in mathematics while they achieve relatively low scores in responses of the affective questionnaire. It can be an important point in mathematics education of Korea, but there are few studies which explore the specific reasons. So in this study, we analysed the results of PISA 2003(in math domain) based on multiple regression analysis and correlation analysis to investigate the reasons and features of those phenomena. We compared the results of Korean students with students of other countries. As a result, there were 7 factors which effect on Korean students' affective domain in mathematics learning and they were statistically significant. According to this study, it needs to improve students' positive attitudes to their school, mathematical interest, and positive self-concept. And it needs to develop an actual instrument to explore the affective domain which effect on mathematics learning.

본 연구는 정책학의 학문적 정체성을 정의·분류하고, 학문적 정체성의 하위차원에서 도출된 연구 질문과 기존 연구에서 제기된 논쟁점에 대해 학문공동체와 기존 연구들이 어떻게 논의하고 있는지를 정리하였다. 이러한 논의를 통하여 정책학의 정체성이 무엇이고 어떤 상태에 있는지, 연구 노력과 활동이 정체성 정립에 기여했는지, 학문적 정체성 구축을 위한 연구 함의는 무엇인지를 파악하고자 한다. 본 연구의 학문적 정체성은 '독자적이고 고유한 이론체계와 방법론 및 연구 대상과 범위를 가지고 있으면서(과학적 정체성) 경계에 따라 차이가 있고 구별되는 독특한 특징을 고민하면서(경계정체성) 공동체를 구성하여 학문의 영역과 미래를 회고·전망하는 것(집단정체성)'으로 규정하였다. 즉 정책학의 학문적 정체성은 세 가지 하위 차원과 각각의 구성요소(패러다임, 한국화, 공동체 활동 등)로 이루어져 있다. 정책학의 학문적 정체성을 종합적으로 판단하면 다음과 같다. 정책의 개념 정립과 이론 구축 등의 멀고 성가신 길을 회피하는 경향이 있는 것으로 판단하여 과학적 정체성 수준은 매우 낮고 그 구축은 요원하다고 하겠다. 빈약한 또는 잘못된 정책 개념을 극복하고 정당한 과정을 거친 개념 규정이 우선적으로 필요할 것이다. 정책학의 한국화에 대한 연구 요청 대(對) 무용론이나 연구 축적은 거의 없다는 비판 등이 대치하고 있는 것으로 판단하여 경계 정체성에 대한 위기를 인식하고 있지만 지속적인 관심과 연구 축적이 필요하다고 하겠다. 학문공동체를 구성하여 (한국)정책학의 위치와 미래에 대해 회고·전망의 장을 열고 있지만 공동체의 목적인 근본적 문제 등에 관한 자극은 부족한 것으로 판단하였다. 구성원들의 응집력은 한국화 등에 대한 공동 노력이 시도되고 있는 반면, 개념 구성 등에 대한 그것은 알려진 것이 드물다. 따라서 집단정체성은 과학적 정체성의 공유(자극, 공동노력, 응집력)는 상대적으로 부족하고 경계정체성의 공유는 시도 단계에 있다고 볼 수 있다. 개념 정립, 이론 구축 등과 같은 과학적 정체성에 대한 연구는 위험이 따르기 때문에 개인적 시도보다는 학문공동체의 관심과 자극이 수반된 공동 노력으로 연구될 필요가 있다고 하겠다.

This study aimed to analyze the historical evolution of general ideas concerning the particles that represent matter properties and matter changes divided into physical change and chemical change. In the science historical viewpoint, the general ideas of the base that represent matter properties has been variously revised the 5types. The definition of the matter change have also changed the 3 types. From the analysis of the definitions in secondary school science textbooks and general chemistry textbooks, we found that a lot of confusion of eras in the contents that define the concepts. Sometimes, the definition presented in one textbook was contradictory to the definitions in other textbooks. This tendency has been sustained in the textbooks from the 4th to 7th science curriculum.

급변하는 사회의 변화에 따라 제조업 중심의 대량생산 전략으로 이윤을 창출하는 수익구조의 시대는 지나고 새로운 산업 형태의 비즈니스 모델 발굴을 통한 사회적 문제들의 해결안을 모색하려는 의도가 요구된다. 이에 미래의 대체 핵심 산업으로서 서비스산업을 국가적 차원에서 발전시키려는 시도를 하고 있으나 서비스의 정의 및 방향성에 대한 개념의 정립에 있어 여러 가지 한계에 부딪히고 있는 실정이다. 또한 국가별 서비스의 이해와 연구 방향에 있어 다소 차이가 있으나 국가별 환경과 인프라를 최대한으로 활용하여 국가 산업의 경쟁력을 강화함에 있어 서비스혁신디자인 학문분야를 다양하게 적용할 수 있다. 가령 한국을 비롯한 미국, 일본, 중국 등의 나라는 제조 산업 기반의 생산성 지향적 서비스(Productivity in Service)를 서비스 산업에 적용하고, 유럽의 대부분의 나라는 생태보존의 방법에 있어 서비스분야를 접목하는데 있는데 Product Service System의 관점에서 접근한다. 마지막으로 지역의 경쟁력 강화를 위하여 서비스 개념의 접근 방법을 지역혁신서비스 (Regional Revitalization)라고 한다. 본 연구에서는 서비스의 개념을 정립하고 서비스의 의미와 연구 분야 별 접근방법 등을 여러 가지 사례로 설명하려 한다. 나아가 본 연구를 통하여 서비스디자인 관련분야의 학문적 기초를 다지는데 기여를 할 것 있을 것이라 생각한다.

The primary purpose of this paper is to examine critically the theory of critical thinking proposed by the late Professor Young-Jung Kim. He defined the basic properties of critical thinking as active reflectivity, and listed deepness, multilaterality and domain-transitivity as primary properties for which critical thinking aims. He, then, pursued how critical thinking can be merged with creativity and proposed the concept 'critico-creative thinking'. I argue that his theory of critical thinking has some limitation, but we can develop his critico-creative thinking further.
