The purpose is a qualitative study that explores the essential meaning of problems in the academic performance process with respect to college life targeting Nursing students in Mature-age students. The participants of this study were 15 students who were 4th graders from a university in K city, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and who had passion for learning and had an awareness of it. As for the data collection, the experiences related to the life of Mature-age students were written through interviews and self-reports within 48 hours of asking questions as a student. The collected data were analyzed using Krippendorff's phenomenological method. As a result of analyzing the experiences of Nursing students in Mature-age students, 34 meaningful statements in 4 categories and 14 topics were derived. The four categories were derived as 'endless hardship', 'the reason for being with them even at the end of the school year', 'the confidence to find slowly', and 'learning life in the academic process'. As a result of this study, it is expected that Adult Learners nursing students will be used as basic data for a program useful for stable and smooth college adaptation and nurturing healthy nursing professions in the future.

The main purpose of this paper is to understand the process of the poverty exit across generations through the live experience based on the grounded theory analysis of the in-depth interview. We find that poverty means a lack of achievement and freedom of agency that is a level of control about resource and situation. So exit of poverty across generations is the state that is not only to achieve functioning but also to recover capabilities. Based on this result, central phenomena of the intergenerational exit process of poverty are support from relation and continuous transition at each stage in life. Even if this central phenomenon is an important event, it has the incomplete attribute. Because support from relation is beyond individual scope of control and participants can't escape second labor market as they don't have enough time in the process of transition. Therefore, this paper suggests that the expansion of state welfare and strategy should support transition as policy priorities to minimize limitation of relation and risk of income loss.

The purpose of this study is to understand the elementary student's growth and its implications from the students' experience participating in the science fair by phenomenological study. The results are as follows. First, the students have various experiences. They acquire scientific knowledge and inquiry skills by conducting in-depth experiments, visiting several places, and interviewing experts. They have some experience in writing experiment journals to record the inquiry process in their own language, and presenting their results in public. Second, the students suffer several difficulties while preparing for the science fair. They have some difficulties when the results were not consistent with the hypothesis, or they had to repeat the experiment over and over. They feel burdened in writing the experiment journal. They had a few time to meet friends or for hobbies. Third, the students improve scientific attitude through the science fair, and they receive a positive effect on the affective side. They developed scientific interest, curiosity, cooperation, etc. And they also gained a sense of accomplishment, confidence, friendship, good relationship with teachers, career interest, etc. This study finds out that students participating in the science fair have a lot of experience that cannot be done easily in a normal science class. Even though students confront some difficulties in the inquiry process, they make good progression and feel accomplished. So the science fair is valuable experience for them.

Education about invention in elementary schools has thus far be conducted mostly through special activities and talented activities rather than through normal curricula. However, with the implementation of the 2007 amended curricula, invention education was reflected as a normal subject unit in the practical subject (technology and home economics) curricula, thereby laying groundwork for invention education being able to be provided through normal subject classes. Thus, at the time when invention education has been reflected as a normal subject unit, it is meaningful to research the effects of elementary school students' experience in invention education on their invention attitudes. This study sought to research the effects of elementary school students' experience or non-experience in invention education on their invention attitudes, targeting those in regional talent private schools who did not take invention talent classes, those who received invention education, and those who did not receive invention education at all. The conclusion of this study is outlined as follows. First, students' experience in invention education proved to be positive in boosting their invention attitude, and continued invention education experience like with students in regional talent invention schools significantly boosted their invention attitudes. Second, considering that students' actual experience in invention education had positive effects on their invention attitudes, the reflection of invention education in the amended curricula was found to be very desirable in improving elementary students' attitudes about invention. Third, according to gender, male students' invention attitude level was found to be higher than that of female students, suggesting that male students more worked on computers, electronic (smart) devices and machines in daily life, leading them to further develop invention attitudes.

This study aims to seek lifelong educational implications and supports for middle aged women who experience empty nest period. Empty nest period has gained limited attention in research even though it is an important period through which middle aged women review and re-evaluate their past life and prepare for their next. This study tries to understand how they experience the empty nest period and how it affects their life, and suggest lifelong educational implications. A total number of 10 middle aged women were interviewed. They were selected by the reason that they either have experienced or are currently in the empty nest period. The collected samples were analyzed by constant comparative method based on grounded theory and were named & categorized through sequential process of open coding, axis coding and selective coding. While story-telling the experiential process of empty nest period, this study found 2 main criteria, will of change and actualization, based on which 4 different types of middle aged women's experience were withdrawn. Those 4 types are self-seeking, role-adaptive, relationship-focused and change-unwillingly and each type was explained with its own characteristics. Based on study result, lifelong educational implications for middle aged women were suggested.
