전염병 정보화사업은 1995년 콜레라의 집단 발병을 계기로 1996년부터 추진되었다. 교통의 발달과 국제교류의 증가는 전염병의 전파와 확산속도가 빨라져 국민건강을 위협하고 있으며 기존의 수작업만으로 정보수집 및 효율적인 전염병관리가 어려워 체계적이고 효율적인 전염병관리를 위하여 국가적 D/B 구축, 전염병관리의 의사결정지원자료 축적의 필요성 제기되었으나 독자적인 망 구축에는 막대한 예산이 들고 망의 운영과 유지관리를 위한 예산과 조직의 한계가 있는 상황에서 콜레라 발생을 계기로 보건복지부 방역과, 국립보건원, 국립서울 검역소, 경기도 6개 보건소 및 경기 및 인천 보건환경연구원을 실험적으로 연계하여 전염병 관리에 필요한 정보의 내용과 흐름, 자료 관리를 위한 기관별, 자치단체별 역할과 기능 등에 관한 개념 정립 둥 전산개발과 함께 제도정비 방안 등이 동시에 수행되었다. 이러한 실험과 연구 결과를 토대로 1998년부터 인터넷을 활용한 전염병의 신고 보고, 전염병관련 자료의 D/B를 통한 전염병의 발생 예측, GIS 등 전염병에 관한 모든 정보를 제공할 수 있는 portal site 구축을 위한 2단계 정보화사업이 정보통신부 지원 하에 시도되었다. 약 2년간의 작업 결과 전염병관리의 전산화 가능성이 확인된 후 전염병예방법을 개정하여 전산 보고의 제도적 틀을 만들고 2000년 8월부터 법정전염병은 전산 보고가 이루어 지고 있다. 일방적이 보고이외 전염병관리의 쌍방화를 위하여 각종 지령/정보의 전파, 각종 통계, 지침, 교육자료, 전염병관련 논문 등을 제공하고 있으며, 상담, 민원접수는 전염병 관련 정보의 전문화와 함께 국민과 호흡할 수 있는 시스템으로 운영될 수 있도록 설계하였다. 그러나 현재 사용하고 있는 WEB EDI가 가진 속도 문제, 응용프로그램의 문제로 신고 보고를 C/S 버전으로 전환하여 사용자의 편리성을 증진하고 있다. 또한 예방접종자료의 전산화를 통한 이상반응 관리, 접종주기 관리, 예방접종으로 관리할 수. 있는 전염병관리(Vaccine preventable disease), 학교에서 발생하는 전염병의 감시 등 전염병 포탈 사이트에 걸맞게 정보 내용을 한층 확대하고 있고 일선의료기관도 활용할 수 있는 시스템으로 발전시키고 있다. 이를 위하여 정보관리과도 신설하였다. 그러나 전염병관리의 전산화는 궁극적으로 전염병 자료의 지역화와 그를 통한 전염병관리의 분권화 및 지방자치화를 이루고자 하는 것이다. 기술적인 측면에서 전산망은 쉽게 만들 수 있으나 전염병관리의 개선과 그 정착은 1-2년간의 전산프로그램개발 작업만으로 달성되기는 어려우며 범국가적인 노력과 더불어 일선보건요원의 교육과 훈련 및 보건소장 등 보건관리자의 전산마인드 개발 등의 작업도 매우 중요할 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, we analyzed exhibitions and programs of Daegu National Science Museum in terms of levels of science communication and domains of scientific literacy. Also, we surveyed visitors' perceptions on the exhibitions. As results of analysis on science communication level, 48.3% of exhibitions and programs corresponded to the 1st generation level, 49.0% corresponded to the 2nd generation level, and 2.7% corresponded to the 3rd generation level. In terms of domains of scientific literacy, the contents on 'design world' and 'the nature of technology' got a majority. Also, the results of visitors' perceptions on the exhibitions showed they preferred active exhibitions, that is the 2nd generation. It is recommended to develop more 3rd generation exhibitions and programs based on the paradigm shift about the role of science museums. And it is also recommended to carry out the task to raise consciousness of citizens about scientific literacy and science communication.

The curriculum of programming education including algorithm has been recognized as a very important subject to many students majoring in natural sciences and engineering including electronic engineering and computer related departments. However, many students have had difficulties with it due to its characteristics; as a consequence, they have been in trouble taking upper-level subjects. Flow chart is a diagram that expresses logical stages necessary to solve certain problems and has been widely used to have an understanding of the flow of algorithm. The practice-oriented education of algorithm and programming would be very important to assist the understanding of operation processes. Furthermore, it has been desperately required to the necessity of auxiliary programs that could enhance an understanding of the concept of algorithm and program execution process. This study was aimed to design and embody the learning system of programming languages using basic algorithms so as for students to easily learn basic algorithm among the entire programming curriculum.

This study aims to examine whether assets matter for depression among older adults and whether the relationship between assets and depression is mediated by social activities. The research questions are based on asset effect theory, stakeholder theory, and activity theory. This study used the 5th wave of KLoSA data which is a nationally representative data in Korea. Research findings are summarized as follows: First, we found the negative relationship between assets and depression of older adults. Second, The relationship between assets and depression was partially mediated by social activities of older adults. The findings suggest that older adults with assets are more likely to participate in social activities and accordingly their depression is likely to decline. Based on the empirical findings, we can propose that asset-building programs targeting older adults should be developed and that the financial education and saving chances should be given to middle-aged adults who need to prepare old age in the long-term perspective.

Software (SW) education is guided by the government to operate not only computer subject matter but also related subject matter. SW education is highlighted in the 2015 Revised Curriculum and Guide for Operating SW Education. SW education is related with science education. For example, education on algorithms employing SW and activities using sensors/output control can be an effective strategy for scientific inquiry. The method can also be applied in developing Computational Thinking (CT) in students. In this study, we designed lessons to solve everyday scientific problems using Educational Programming Language (EPL) SW and physical computing materials and applied them to high school students. We conducted surveys that were modified from questionnaires of Internet application capability and based on the standard of accomplishment of SW education as well as elements of CT to find out the change in perceptions on programming and CT of students. We also conducted a survey on students' attitude toward science learning after an SW inquiry activity. In the results, perceptions on programming and CT of students were improved through lessons using unplugged activity, EPL SW, and physical computing. In addition, scores for interest, self-directed learning ability, and task commitment were high.
