Study purpose is to analyze the changes in the level of self-efficacy, exercise commitment, and health related quality of life of the adults with intellectual disability through the swimming program participation. Study subjects were 12 adults with intellectual disability residing in a residential care facility and they participated in 12 weeks swimming program. Changes in the level of self-efficacy, exercise commitment, and health quality of life were analyzed. To measure self-efficacy, General Self-Efficacy Scale was used and the level of general, social and physical self-efficacy was measured. To measure exercise commitment, Exercise Commitment Scale was used and the level of cognitive and behavioral commitment was measured. To measure health related quality of life, Short Form-8 Health Survey was used and the level of general health quality of life was measured. As the results after the swimming program participation, the level of self-efficacy, exercise commitment, and health related quality of life of the subjects was statistically significant improved. Swimming program participation acts to positively improve the level of self-efficacy, exercise commitment, and health related quality of life of the adults with intellectual disability. Thus, the application of swimming program for them should be considered.

Recently, lifelong learning ability was newly proposed as scientific literacy, the goal of the science curriculum. To solve various science-related problems students encounter in life, lifelong learning abilities related to science beyond school science education are required, but empirical evidence shows that students can solve problems they actually face through scientific literacy. It is not easy to find in the existing science education research. In addition, there is a lack of discussion on how to cultivate lifelong learning ability suggested in the curriculum through school science education. In this study, attention was paid to SSI education as a method for students to cultivate lifelong learning ability through school science education and to develop their ability to solve science-related problems encountered in life. In this context, statements in the existing SSI education studies were reviewed to discover discourses related to lifelong learning, and their types and characteristics were distinguished. It was possible to confirm lifelong learning and its applicability with focus on science education research through this. For the study, 18 literature materials on the subject of SSI education were selected, and the discourses related to lifelong learning in the SSI education research were discovered by examining the statements revealed in the data. As a result of the study, there are four categories of discourses related to lifelong learning: 'awareness of science,' 'connection between science and everyday life', 'promotion of participatory citizenship', and 'construction of identity'. Various SSI education studies have already had lifelong learning perception in various contexts, and the four types of discourses related to lifelong learning could be linked to the four types of learning presented in the UNESCO Lifelong Learning Report. SSI education tends to view students' life experiences as part of their learning and aims to help students develop the character and capacity to make responsible decisions on social issues related to science and put them into practice. This competency can be continuously connected to the real-life of students outside of school as a lifelong learning ability. This study requires expanding the discourse related to lifelong learning in science education and operating and managing the overall educational system to foster students' lifelong learning ability.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships among cognitive function, activities of daily living (ADL), participation and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly. Methods : Cognitive function, ADL, participation and quality of life were assessed in the 144 elderly people residing in the community. We used MMSE-K for measuring cognitive function, K-ADL for ADL, K-ACS for participation, and GQOL for quality of life. Results : Cognitive function was significantly correlated with social activity of participation and quality of life (physical health, psychological health, social relations and economic level). ADL was significantly correlated with participation (instrumental ADL, leisure activity) and all sub-areas of quality of life. Social activity of participation were significantly correlated with all subarea of quality of life except physical health. Among the variables, the most relevant variable was leisure activity. Conclusion : It was related to quality of life in the order of participation, ADL, and cognitive function. Among the sub-areas of participation, leisure activity was the most correlated with quality of life. This study, thus, aimed to provide basic data for successful elderly life by examining the correlation between cognitive function, daily life activity, participation and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly.

오늘날 과학은 모든 사람의 일이 되었다. 그러나 과학은 대중의 것은 아니다. 매우 역설적으로 들릴지 모르지만 이것은 사실이다. 과학은 우리 생활에 미치지 않는 곳이 없고 과학 없이는 삶을 이어가지 못한다. 그런데도 불구하고 과학은 대중에 의해 직접 소유될 수 없다. 과학이 극도로 추상화, 전문화 되어 있고, 대중은 기술이란 매개를 통해 그것과 접하기 때문이다. 과학기술의 지배가 나날이 강화되어가는 이 세계에서 대중이 그 내용과 밑에 깔린 사고방식을 이해해야 할 필요성은 절실한데 실제로 그것이 쉽지 않다는 데 문제가 있다.

빙하가 사라지고 있다는 충격적인 보고는 인간을 우울하게 한다. 미국의 과학잡지 은 2002년 송년호에서 서남극 빙하의 붕괴에 대해 심각한 진단을 내리고 있다. 빙하의 붕괴가 계속된다면 인간의 삶의 터전은 달라질 수밖에 없다. 해수면의 상승으로 해안지대의 도시들은 침수되고, 거기에 살고 있는 수억 명의 사람들은 '엄청난 환란'을 피해 내륙으로 이동해야 한다. 소리 없는 빙하의 붕괴를 인간은 과연 어떻게 받아들여야 할 것인가.

모든 생물이 번식을 위해서 뿐만 아니라 성적활동을 통해 삶의 희열을 만끽할 수 있는 성. 그러나 우리는 빈번히 그 성의 중요성에 대해서 잘못 해석하는 경향이 있다. 이 책에서 저자는 번식과 쾌락에 따른 성의 생물학적 본질을 풀이하면서 성은 탄생은 물론 죽음과도 연관성이 있다고 본다. 그리고 성은 진화하며 앞으로 개인의 성정쾌락은 번식의 굴레에서 벗어나 새로운 단계로 접어들 것이라고 내다보고 있다.

봄은 탄생의 계절이다. 성경에 따르면 인간은 이른바 '지식의 나무'의 열매를 먹은 죄로 인해 행복한 에덴의 삶으로부터 추방당했다. 그렇다면 인간의 불행은 알려고 하는 데서 시작된 것이란 말인가? 우리말의 '아름답다'는 본래 '앎(知)'에서 온 말이다. 앎의 학문인 과학은 우리에게 아름다움과 불행을 동시에 안겨준다. 탄생은 이렇듯 생태적으로 양면성을 자고 있다. 그러나 그것은 또한 인간이 선택할 수 없는 숙명이다.

In this study, we investigated whether the degree of anxiety, depression, stress, and ego resilience in the COVID-19 epidemic situation could affect the quality of life of college students and analyzed the correlation between them. In addition, the causal relationship and mediating effect on ego resilience, stress and quality of life were analyzed and necessary countermeasures were proposed. As a result of analyzing the correlation between each variable, it was found that anxiety, depression, stress, quality of life, and self-resilience all had significant correlations. In particular, stress was found to play a complete mediating role in the effect of ego resilience on quality of life. It is expected that this study will be used as a basis for research on the effect of stress and self-resilience on the improvement of quality of life in the Corona situation.
