In this paper we have reviewed major theories of international migration by three phases of migration : initiation, perpetuation, and adjustment. Through the review it is found that factors affecting the three phases are not mutually exclusive but interrelated, and argued that for a comprehensive understanding of the phenomena we need a theoretical guideline useful to locate all the important factors associated to the entire process of migration. Neoclassical economic theory which has played a leading role in migration research. fails to be such a guideline. since it is grounded on the unrealistic assumption of rationality and does not take into account for historical-structural factors, as neo-Marxian theorists have claimed. Two major Marxian theories, dual labor market theory and world system theory, have been successful to identify macro-structural factors that induce main flows of international migration, but do not so in exploring situational factors affecting the process of migration, especially social and cultural factors. Accordingly this study proposes that in order to grasp international migration process comprehensively we need to research the phenomena in view of action system theory, that is, to study migrants\` economic, political, social, and cultural situations inclusively.

이 연구는 필자가 2007년 하반기부터 1년간 필리핀에 머물면서, 여성들의 국제결혼에 관해 실시한 연구결과의 일부이다. 이미 한국에서 결혼생활을 하고 있는 외국인여성을 대상으로 한 국내연구와는 달리, 이 연구는 출국준비 중인 필리핀신부들을 대상으로 심층면접을 실시하고 있다. 특히 면접대상자가 일상적으로 사용하는 언어를 이용하고, 시집식구들을 의식할 필요 없는 자유로운 분위기에서 면접이 이루어졌다는 점, 그리고 출국이전의 상황과 심경을 알아보았다는 점 등은 이 연구가 가진 장점이다. 또한 한국으로 들어오게 된 과정을 역추적 하는 방식이 아니라, 결혼, 국내외배우자선택, 특정국적의 배우자선택 과정을 여성 개인의 시각에서 서술토록 한 것도 기존의 연구와 다른 점이다. 연구결과, 필리핀여성의 국제결혼은 미국, 캐나다, 일본 등을비롯해 다양한 국적의 배우자와 이루어지고 있으며, 한국은 그 중의 하나에 지나지 않음을 알 수 있다. 한편, 한국인 남편은 국제결혼알선업체를 통해 만나는 사례가 다수이지만, 한국에 취업이나 시집을 간 친지를 통해 만나는 경우, 취업이나 휴양을 위해 필리핀에 남편이 방문한 동안 만나는 경우, 온라인 교제싸이트를 통해 만나는 경우 등 만남의 경로가 다양함을 알 수 있다. 또한 만남의 경로에 따라 서로 다른 결혼관과 가족관이 발견된다. 이 연구의 결과들에 비추어, 국제이주노동에서 논의되는 이론들의 일부 요소들이 국제결혼현상에서도 어느 정도 설명력을 가진다고 판단된다. 이와 동시에 국가간 방문기회와 인터넷교제기회의 증가라는 전지구화 현상 또한 국제결혼의 또 다른 일면을 파악하는데 주요한 요소가 될 것으로 보인다.

This paper focuses on how international marriages among Asians have been represented by the Korean media. Due to globalization, the so-called 'ethnoscape' has changed, and so ethnicity or racial identity within the boundaries of the nation-state changed. The recent diaspora of Asian women into Korea through international marriages has reflected how globalization has proceeded at a regional or local level. This paper attempts to analyze Koreanmedia discourses on the Asian female diaspora. This study analyzes what kind of generic forms TV dramas, other shows(TV reality programs, TV journalistic programs), movie and internet have employed to represent international marriages and how they have portrayed the subjectivities of the Asian female diaspora. This study discuss how this representation has been contested by the 'realities' of their international marriages. By examining how the Korean mainstream media have dealt with the conflicting issues of the Asian female diaspora, this paper intends to look critically at how local discursive practices have substantiated the changing ethnoscape. As a result of the study, this paper can find international marriages among Asians have been represented by Korean media still patriarchal system in male-oriented society. The otherness of Asian women justify the strong work of household affairs, and so justified life is standardized 'a kind of daughter- in-law', 'a complaisant daughter-in-law' in the process of migration. Also the otherness of Asian women standardized 'a victor' or 'a harmer' through international marriage of money that commercialized 'sexuality'. After all Korea media discourse on Asian women's international marriage, the gender issues on it have not been focused on a serious level.

The objective of this study is to identify the community living experiences of married immigrant women in rural areas. For this purpose, we conducted qualitative research by sampling 14 married immigrant women who had lived in Korea for over three years by having in depth interviews with them. This study employed the grounded theory method suggested by Strauss and Corbin(1998). When raw data from in depth interviews with the participants were processed by open coding through the continuous comparison method with theoretical sensitivity, a total of 13 categories, 27 sub.categories, and 71 concepts were extracted. In case of axial coding, according to the results of analyzing through the paradigm procedure, the causal conditions for the community living experiences of married immigrant women in rural areas were 'Uncertain start' and 'Confront practical problems,' and the central phenomenon was 'Search for existence to participate in community activities.' Contextual conditions affecting the phenomenon was 'Regret international marriage,' 'Experience conflicts,' and 'Look with negative prejudices,' 'Overcome the actual' and action/interaction strategies were 'Look for a breakthrough of life' and 'Manage to acceptance.' Intervening conditions for promoting or suppressing the action/interaction strategies for the central phenomenon were 'Social support system' and 'local limitations,' and as a result, the community living experiences of married immigrant women in rural areas appeared to 'Prepare the future,' 'Hope continuous social activities,' and 'Expect public support systems.'

This paper introduces a fundamental investigation into the establishment of a framework for integrating fieldwork into special education teacher preparation programs. This paper introduces a comprehensive framework for the implementation of semester-based practicum systems in special education teacher training programs. The paper delineates essential stages including preparation, adaptation, responsibility readiness, mutual responsibility, and evaluation, emphasizing the importance of collaboration, hands-on training, and feedback interactions. Moreover, the study delves into practical learning frameworks such as the Experiential Learning Model, Sociocultural Theory, and the Apprenticeship of Observation Model. It highlights their significance in connecting theoretical concepts with practical applications and in cultivating reflective practices among pre-service special education teachers. Moreover, the study explores two significant practicum models, namely the Class-Academy Model and the Professional Development Schools (PDS) Model, examining their elements, advantages, and impacts on teacher education programs. The paper provides valuable insights into improving the preparation of special education teachers by incorporating structured practicum experiences and innovative models that blend theoretical knowledge with practical application.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the life experiences of fifteen marriage immigrant Asian women who went through running away from their home countries, marrying with Korean men, divorcing from their husbands, and coping with many difficulties after their divorce in Korean society. In order to conduct this study grounded theory methods have been employed. The central phenomenon digged out from this study was 'resistance to baffled reality' (i. e. dislocation). The causal conditions which brought about the central phenomenon were 'escaping for survival' and 'experiencing the gap between reality and expectation. 'The intervening conditions included 'getting to know the reality of their husbands,' 'losing hope,' and 'not being able to pull themselves together.' The contextual conditions consisted of 'being treated as maids,' 'becoming victims of family violence,' 'making up their minds to survive,' 'securing future life,' 'being marginalized,' and 'being aware of themselves as strangers.' The action/interaction strategies on the central phenomenon were 'building support systems,' 'building up will for new life,' and 'reconstructing social identity.'The final outcome was 'arranging places of new settlement.' The divorce was classified as four types: 'coping and growth,' 'emancipation and settling down,' 'being overwhelmed by livelihood,' and 'continuous wandering.' Based on these results, this study provided a few political and practice suggestions to prevent family violence and divorces among multi-cultural families, and also to bumper the impacts of divorce.

This paper came up with the theoretical modelling of the metrology for the acoustic power using ultrasonic radiation force and showed some theoretical results. In order to do this, a scattering model for a rigid circular cone based upon the Kirchhoff approximation was made, which was followed by the calculation of acoustic power, and then, was converted to the radiation force. From these works, it provided the accuracy and limitation of the conventional method using a circular cone, and the expanded metrology modelling that can be applied to a circular cone with arbitrary apex angle. Using these, this study provided the dependence of the metrology for the acoustic power using ultrasonic radiation force on the frequency and the size of the target. As a result, the correction was yielded in the value of the acoustic power calculated by the suggested International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) method, which needs to be added when the frequency and the size of the target was considered.

The study seeks to examine the alignment between the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) and the Six Principles of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) through qualitative analysis. The study utilizes a qualitative methodology that entails a comprehensive review of the existing literature to establish connections between MOHO and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) principles, with a specific focus on collaborative special education environments. Data collection involves examining academic literature on MOHO, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) principles, and the partnership between occupational therapists and special education teachers. Thematic analysis is employed to identify recurrent themes and relationships, offering valuable insights into the theoretical foundations of MOHO and its compatibility with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)The Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) highlights the significance of active engagement and meaningful participation in inclusive education. It promotes the development of independence and self-determination in occupational performance for children with special needs. Moreover, MOHO stresses the importance of offering tailored support and adjustments for these children.
