As the importance of small and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs) has increases, it has been accompanied by an increase in the amount research attention paid to the factors contributing to the competitiveness of SMEs. Human resource management(HRM) should be the central themes of the discussion. This study is performed to provide basic and broad information of the current state of HRM in SME as the first step for such an effort. The conditions of HRM and the degree of introduction and utilization of six different HRM practices, incentive regulation, complaints handling system, suggestion system, employment stability system, performance evaluation system, and regular education and training, are analyzed through the data collected form 763 SMEs of four industries in Daegu, Only 2 percent of responding companies had been formed unions, 43% evaluate their employment conditions are difficult. And 39% of the SMEs appraise their human resources are more competitive than those of other companies. The ration of introduction of regular education and training system is highest and that of performance evaluation is lowest among the all responding companies. In addition, employment stability system is found as the most actively utilized HRM practice. The implications of these results and future research directions are suggested.

Academic libraries in Korea have had more and more troubles in management due to the drastic increase in quantities and budgets for purchasing expensive international academic information resources. In this research, with a focus on the international electronic information resources, an attempt is made to overcome such difficulties in management of academic libraries in the following steps: First, the amount of budgets for purchasing resources and building collections for academic libraries is analyzed; Second, the current state of academic library consortia, both domestic and foreign, is reviewed; Third, the current administrative issues and strategic directions of domestic academic library consortia, including the KESLI Consortium of KISTI, ACE Consortium of KERIS, and Consortium of Korean Council for University Educations, are examined; and Fourth, based on the above collected information, a proposal is made to improve the collection and distribution system for international academic information resources in Korea.

Grid computing has a large scale virtual computing environment that enables a collaborative processing through sharing resources of geographically distributed organizations. In recent year, the development of wireless networks and mobile devices enables mobile devices to consider as a resource of the grids. However, there are some problems such as low performance of processors, small capacity of storages, limited capacity of battery, and low bandwidth. In this paper, to overcome these limitations occurred in mobile grid environments, we proposed a proxy-based mobile grid system. Our proposed system enables mobile devices to play roles as a resource consumer and a resource provider and to collaborate with wired grids through a mobile router. Also, we propose an adaptive job scheduling scheme to cope with context changes of mobile devices and compare our scheduling scheme with other scheduling schemes using a simulation tool, SimGrid, to verify the validity of our job scheduling scheme.

This study aims to figure out factors influencing health and moderating effect of social support resource between those factors and health of low income women in diverse spheres. The data of low income women were 239 cases and were utilized SPSS ver. 21 program. The main results of this study are as follows: firstly, health of low income women is identified medium level. Secondly, education level, self-efficacy and social support resource are related to the self-rated health of low income women. Especially, social support resource functions as moderators on between education and self-rated level of the health of low income women. Consequently, the findings suggest the need to expand the social intervention range to promote health of low income women from cost benefit to psychological support such as capacity building for self-management and establishment of safety-net to extend social support. And subsequently, the time attribute of the factors related to low-income women's health and the diverse characteristics of the subjects should be considered.

This study aims to identify what kind of epistemological resources were activated in unproductive and productive practice by students participating in scientific argumentation, and to explore which contexts result in changes in argumentative practice. We collected transcriptions of participants' argumentative lessons and interview, participants' work sheets, and researchers' field notes. The analysis revealed that the focus group activated different kinds of epistemological resources depending on their practice; propagated, belief, and accumulation in unproductive practice and constructed, understanding, accumulation, formation and rebuttal in productive practice. We found two contextual cues that led to these changes; unfamiliar form of argumentative task was provided and emotional, epistemic, and conceptual support of the epistemic authority. This work can be provided as additional case studies to analyze changes in practice according to learner context-dependent epistemology, and we expect to contribute to discussions of productive epistemology and stabilization for students' authentic science engagement.

본 내용은 첨단 정보통신 기술을 이용하여 강의자 중심의 단방향 교육(Teaching) 환경을 학생 중심의 양방향 교육(Learning) 환경으로 개선하여 보다 창의적인 인재를 양성할 수 있는 교육환경 구축에 관한 내용이다. 우리나라를 포함한 OECD 국가들은 ICT활용 수업에 대한 필요성을 공감하고 교단 선진화를 위한 연구 및 지원을 다양하게 진행하고 있다. 학생들에게 지급하는 교과서를 인쇄매체 대신에 메모리 스틱, CD-ROM 및 인터넷을 통한 전자 매체로 대체하는 방안 등이 그 예이다. 따라서 학생들이 강의실에서 멀티미디어를 이용해 강의를 듣고, 과제를 풀며 정리된 내용을 발표하고 토론할 수 있는 양방향 수업환경이 요구된다. 그러나 컴퓨터를 활용한 수업을 진행할 때의 문제점이 강의내용을 학생들에게 효율적으로 전달하기가 어렵고, 학생들의 컴퓨터를 통제할 수 없기 때문에 수업을 이탈하는 경우가 발생되는 등 교육에 역효과가 초래된다. 본 내용에서 소개하는 양방향 수업진행 장비(드림랩)는 강의자가 학생들의 컴퓨터 모니터, 키보드 및 마우스를 자유로이 통제할 수 있어서 강의자의 화면과 음성을 실시간으로 선명하게 학생들에게 전달하고, 학생들의 내용을 모니터하고 제어할 수 있으며, 개인지도 및 수준별 그룹지도가 가능하다. 또한 강의자에게 개인적으로 질문을 할 수 있고, 학생들의 내용을 자신의 자리에서 전체 학생들에게 발표할 수도 있다. 드림랩은 순수 하드웨어로 구성되어 컴퓨터 기종이나 운영체제에 영향을 받지 않으며, 컴퓨터 자원과 네트워크 자원을 사용하지 않기 때문에 컴퓨터나 네트워크의 성능을 저하시키지 않는다. 또한 사용법이 간단하고 유지관리가 쉬운 장점 등이 있다. 따라서 컴퓨터를 활용한 수업진행이 원활하여 다양한 과목에 활용 가능하고, 학생들의 자발적인 수업 참여로 강의 중심 교육에서 자기 주도적 수업환경(T2L, Teaching to Learning)으로 자연스럽게 전환되어 교육의 질적 향상과 함께 창의적인 인재를 양성할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study explored the experiences and difficulties of science teachers who participated in overseas educational voluntary activities. Seven science teachers who had visited Timor-Leste participated in the study. All collected data including the teacher interview were analyzed. As a result, teachers visited Timor-Leste to fulfill social roles and to meet the expectations of others. After returning from Timor-Leste, the teachers regained their passion for teaching and gained confidence in taking on new challenges. Teachers had difficulties in conducting seminars due to the unstable social situation and lack of awareness of Timor-Leste teachers, and experienced communication limitations due to language barriers. Nevertheless, teachers cooperate with local priest to improve these limitations. In addition, teachers supplemented the limitations caused by the non-establishment of the curriculum through the evaluation meeting. In order to improve teaching expertise and promote active participation of Timor-Leste teachers, the seminar method was modified. The experience of volunteering in Timor-Leste made teachers think about the importance of cooperation and the necessity of education. Based on the above results, we discussed ways to activate voluntary service.

The purpose of this study is to exploring the direction of woman engineering education by the analysis of learner's recognition. In order to investigate the direction of woman engineering education, the literature reviews were explored in the context of the human resource developmentand in the viewpoint of instructional technology. The survey results such as the learner's experience recognition of engineering education were analyzed and they were discussed by experts in the field of education, instructional technology, and engineering. From the analysis result of 399 students(man:206, woman:193) in P university, there were significant differences with man and woman to the factors of (a) understanding, (b) satisfaction, (c) motivation, (d) learning ability, (e) parents' expectation, (f) pleasure in the study, and (g) expectation grade. This study was suggesting the recommendations of woman engineering education in the viewpoints of cognition, emotion, motivation, environment and instructional strategy. The research results will show the cues of human resource development for women in the field of engineering education.
