본 연구는 미 L-A에 거주하는 한국이민 노인들의 특성을 파악하고, 그들의 생활만족도에 기여하는 결정요소들이 무엇인지 가려내며, 그 얻어진 결과를, 동일한 시각과 접근으로 시도되었던 미국 노인들에 대한 선행연구들의 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 연구는 1986년 12월에서 1987년 2월까지 3개월간 미 L-A 카운티에서 거주하는 55세 이상의 한국 이민노인 390명을 대상으로 설문지 조사를 실시하여 그중 192명을 자료분석에 사용하였다. 단계별 중다 회귀분석의 결과, 활동성의 제약정도, 결혼상태, 재정적인 안정, 교육정도, 연령증가 등 5가지 변인들의 특별히 한국노인의 생활만족도가 강한 연관성이 있었고, 반면 자신들이 평가한 건강상태, 지인과의 사회적인 상호작용, 미국거주 년한 등은 노후생활의 안녕에 전혀 직접적인 영향력을 행사하지 못했다. 그러나 자신들이 평가하는 건강상태는, 활동성의 제약 등과 같은 다른 변인에 미치는 효과를 통해서 생활만족도에 간접적으로 강하게 영향을 미치고 있었다. 이러한 결과를 선행연구에서 나타난 서구나 미국노인의 생활만족도 결정의 세 요인인 건강상태, 사회경제적 지위, 사회적 활동성과 비교해 볼때, 사회적 활동성과 연령증가 변인에서 서로 상반되는 대조를 보이고 있었다. 즉, 백인노인들은 나이가 듦에 따라 생활만족도가 낮아지거나 혹은, 연령증가와 생활만족도 사이에 별로 유의할 만한 관계를 보이지 않고 있으나, 본 연구에서의 한국노인은 나이를 먹으면서 오히려 생활만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 사회적 활동성은, 백인노인의 생활만족도에 긍정적 혹을 부정적으로 가장 강하게 영향을 미치는 요인중 하나임에 반하여, 한국노인들은 이것이 자신들의 생활만족에 중요한 것이라 믿고는 있었지만 실제 통계학적으로는 영향력을 행사하지 못하는 요인이었다. 주거환경(자식과의 동거여부) 역시, 이제껏 한국사회에서 기대되어왔던 통념과는 달리, 한국노인의 생활만족도에 아무런 영향을 주지 못하고 있었다.

In Korea, the number of foreigners reached about 1,260,000. So we are now living in a multicultural society. There are more than 36,000 multicultural students in kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school(2010's standards). In other words, Still more multicultural students are expected to increase in the future. As a matter of fact, one of the biggest problems which mixed couples and immigrants from other countries have had is most concerned about possible bias and discrimination of their children. Study has shown that multicultural students are alienated from the others at school, because of their skin colours, the pronunciation they speak Korean, and maladjustment in their school life. Actually, multi-cultural education program should be applied to the first grade in elementary school. Besides, teachers have to direct multicultural and general students with integrated education. Study also found that it is necessary to use more visuals and pictures as the main multi-cultural education. And books and CDs should be used as guide materials. It's desirable that the appropriate time to teach relate to lesson.

This study has surveyed 379 social workers to recognize how much they believe their behaviors are ethical related to dual relationship and how many they have experienced dual relationships with their clients. In addition, we also examined if there were significant differences in social workers' beliefs and experiences according to their socio-demographic characteristics and organizational properties. To accomplish this purpose, we conducted frequency analysis, single sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance focusing on sexual, bartering and private relationships. Respondents tend to have a little permissive attitude about dual relationships while they little experienced of them. Social workers's beliefs and experiences are different depending on gender, education level, work experience, position, training experience of ethics and service target. From these results, it suggested that code of ethics for social workers and the curriculum of social work ethics should be revised reflecting on present field situation and inspiring ethical sensitivity.

Due to globalization and the increasing number of international marriages, Korea has become a multicultural society. In 2012, the Korean Ministry of Education established guidelines for education on multicultural understanding for all K-12 students. The purpose of this study is to understand how education on multicultural understanding is conducted and to provide suggestions for improvements. Based on the six goals of multicultural curriculum in Bennett's conceptual model, this study explores how multicultural education specialists conduct their instructions and how they convey the value of multicultural understanding in public schools. Four multicultural education specialists were recruited, and various qualitative data were collected from pre- and post-interviews and classroom observations. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The study findings show that the participants educated elementary students by introducing their own (or spouse's) culture through their traditional clothes, food, and customs. This indicated that they focused mainly on developing multiple historical perspectives and strengthening intercultural competence. However, their current education on multicultural understanding may not help students to increase an awareness of the state of the planet and global dynamics, and to build social action skills. Finally, we suggest that multicultural education should be integrated and infused into national (regular) curricula so that all students can enhance their multicultural understanding.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to identify the relationship between fish consumption and blood mercury levels in a sample of adult Koreans. Methods: The study subjects were 299 residents of Busan (male: 65, female: 234) and 185 residents of Namhae (male: 69, female: 116), South Korea. Demographic characteristics, current smoking, current drinking, fish consumption per week, past history of amalgam treatment, and residential district were recorded by trained interviewers in June and July, 2009. We considered a portion of fish to be equivalent to 70 gm weight, and calculated amounts of fish consumed per week. Using chi-square tests, t-tests, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression analysis, we estimated the relationships between blood mercury levels and amount of fish consumed per week and other factors. Results: The mean blood mercury level of our subjects was 6.61 ${\mu}g/L$, higher than the criterion defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (5.8 ${\mu}g/L$). In multiple linear regression analysis, residential district and amount of fish consumed per week were associated with blood mercury levels. However, marital status, current drinking, and gender, and age were not associated with blood mercury levels. Conclusions: In conclusion, we suggest the implementation of systematic and periodic population-based studies to decrease the risks of mercury poisoning among South Koreans who consume fish as a regular part of the diet.

이 연구는 스스로 건강상태를 올바르게 인식하고 있는지 알아보고 건강상태 인식 유형에 따른 건강행동과의 관계를 살펴봄으로 건강수준의 향상과 더불어 건강한 노후를 맞이할 수 있도록 하고자 하였다. 2008년 1월부터 12월까지 실시된 국민건강영양조사 제4기 2차년도(2008) 자료원을 사용하였으며, 200개 조사구 약 4600가구의 만1세 이상 9,744명중 만19세 미만을 제외하고 건강설문 및 검진조사에 참여한 4,688 명을 최종대상자로 분석하였다. 자료는 SPSS 18.0을 이용하여 성별에 따른 인구사회학적 특성, 건강상태 인식 유형별 분포, 주관적 건강상태에 따른 객관적 건강상태와 일반적특성 및 건강행동을 교차분석관적 시에 카이제곱검정을 하였으며, 단변량 분석에서 의미 있는 변수들을 독립변수로 하고 올바른 인식군과 그릇된 인식군으로 나눈 건강상태인식유형을 종속변수로 하여 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시하였다. 이 연구의 주요 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 주관적 건강상태에 따라 실제 객관적인 건강상태를 살펴본 결과, 건강상태를 과대평가하는 사람의 비율이 가장 높았으며, 건강상태를 올바르게 인식하는 사람보다 그릇되게 인식하는 사람이 더 많았다. 2. 주관적 건강상태를 좋음으로 인식하는 군에서 객관적 건강상태는 여자보다 남자가 건강을 과대평가하였고, 연령이 증가할수록, 읍/면지역에서, 결혼상태는 별거 사별 이혼상태에서, 교육수준은 낮아질수록 건강을 그릇되게 인식하여 과대평가하였다. 3. 주관적 건강상태를 나쁨으로 인식하는 군에서 객관적 건강상태는 연령이 낮아질수록 건강을 과소평가하는 경향이었고, 읍/면지역보다 동지역에서, 미혼일 경우, 교육수준은 높아질수록 건강상태를 그릇되게 인식하여 과소평가하였다. 4. 건강상태 인식 유형별로 건강행동을 살펴본 결과 주관적 건강상태를 좋음으로 인식하는 군에서는 체중조절, 월간음주, 우울증상경험, 건강검진에서 유의한 결과를 나타냈고, 주관적 건강상태를 나쁨으로 인식하는 군에서는 현재흡연과 월간음주에서 유의한 결과를 나타내었다. 5. 주관적 건강상태를 좋음으로 인식한 군에서 객관적 건강상태를 종속변수로한 로지스틱회귀분석결과를 살펴보면, 건강을 과대평가하는 그릇된 인식군으로 될 위험도가 남자보다 여자에서 감소하였고, 70대에 비하여 연령이 낮아질수록 위험도가 감소하였으며, 미혼에 비하여 기혼, 별거 사별 이혼에서 위험도가 증가하였고, 체중조절을 하는 사람이 체중조절을 하지 않은 사람보다 위험도가 높았다. 6. 주관적 건강상태를 나쁨으로 인식한 군에서 객관적 건강상태를 종속변수로한 로지스틱 회귀분석결과를 살펴보면, 연령을 제외한 모든 변수에서 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다.

The purpose of this study was to develop a practical reasoning model for the 'parenthood' part of the 'marriage and child rearing' unit of high school first-grade technology & home economics based on the instruction objectives selected from 11 different kinds of textbooks, and to examine the effects of the model. Learning objectives and contents were selected, and a practical reasoning teaching model of six sessions was developed and implemented in class. The subjects in this study were students in five first-year classes in a high school located in the city of Icheon, Gyeonggi province. The effectiveness of the model was analyzed by conducting a survey on the students before and after its application. Assessments were also conducted on the lessons applied. Students who received instruction according to the practical reasoning model underwent a significant change, as they displayed higher scores in understanding the meaning of parenthood, preparation for parenthood, and the role of parenting. As a result of applying the model, it was found that the classes proved to be helpful to the students.
