Recognizing the necessity of content-centered teacher professional development programs in a rapidly changing educational environments, this study analyzed the contents of teacher professional development programs in terms of teachers' participation by program contents and teachers' perception of the necessity and the effectiveness of such program contents. Employing Teaching and Learning International Survey(TALIS), this study analyzed the perception of 4,000 Korean secondary school teachers. The results showed that the programs with the highest teacher participation were mainly subject-centered while the teacher participation rates on the newly required contents such as ICT, intercultural counseling, school management and administration, and new job skills were low. Besides, when teachers were asked to identify the content areas where teacher professional developments are needed, the level of teachers' perception of the programs with low participation rates was accordingly low. Lastly, this study implies that since the years of teaching experience serve as a determinant on the types of the contents that teacher professional developments are needed and on the teachers' perception of the effectiveness of such contents, the course of teacher development should be taken into consideration when the contents of teacher professional development programs are developed.

This study aims to understand the change of migrant policies, namely assimilation, multiculturalism and social integration, in the West through critical perspectives and to derive implications for the Korea's migrant policy from the experience of the West. In 1970s, assimilation policy was severely criticized from the limitation of cultural diversity, and multiculturalism expanded rapidly in the West focusing on the migrant's right and cultural difference. However, multiculturalism received severely criticism because it makes social isolation and segregation between mainstream society and migrants. Since 2000 social integration became the major policy for migrant incorporation, focusing migrant's attitude and practice to receive the value and culture of mainstream society with the active participation of socioeconomic activities. However, social integration policy reveal some problems which regard migrants as the object of control, and also as the object of discrimination. The experience of the Western policies suggests on the careful selection for the migrant's incorporation policies in Korea with the consideration of social inclusion of migrant, analysis on the problems of multiculturalism and social integration policy, and the necessity of mainstream society's change into the acculturation.

The purpose of this study is to analyse literacy of children from multicultural backgrounds, and identify cognitive-linguistic predictors that can affect their literacy. First, the higher-grade students showed better cognitive-linguistic variables in reading and writing performance. Second, it has been noted that the predictor variable of reading in children from multicultural backgrounds was homeostasis in visual form, which is a sub-variable of visual perception. This implies that detained characteristics play an important role in reading prerequisite. Therefore it can be said that it is more important to recognise features and clues about the details than reading familiar words. Furthermore, learning consonants and vowels should come first rather than studying letters at the first stages of learning Korean.

This study examines and compares public library services for immigrants in the U.S. in the early 1900s and nowadays. U.S. public libraries in the early 1900s supported the Americanizing movement by opening English language classes and providing information that is essential for U.S. citizenship. Public librarians also recognized the importance of foreign language materials; by providing foreign language materials and developing diverse services to reach immigrants, public libraries eventually hastened assimilation processes. Despite a gap of one hundred years, the situation today is not very different. Public libraries still try hard to serve their ethnic patrons with extensive foreignlanguage collections and culturally diverse library programs, while still emphasizing English language education.

In recent years, research about Natural User Interface (NUI) has become focused because NUI system can give natural feelings for users in virtual reality. Most important thing in NUI system is how to communicate with the computer system. There are many things to interact with users such as speech, hand gestures, body actions. Among them, hand gesture is suitable for the purpose of NUI because people often use a relatively high frequency in daily life and hand gesture have meaning only by itself. This hand gestures called multi-cultural hand gesture and we proposed the method to recognize this kind of hand gestures. Proposed method is composed of Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) used for hand shape recognition and Histogram of Oriented Displacements (HOD) used for hand center point trajectory recognition.

This study investigated perceptions of early childhood teachers about children of Female International Marriage Migrants(FIMM) and their classroom conditions. Data was collected from 117 teachers of kindergartens and day care centers in Jeonnam Province using a 28-item inventory composed of classroom conditions and perceptions of teachers about the children of FIMM. Results showed that over 70% of teachers' students were children of FIMM. Children's traits included poor language skills, confusion of identity, and socio-emotional problems due to passive interaction with peers. Programs specifically for FIMM and their children are rare. Teachers considered difficulties teaching children of FIMM are due to lack of economic support, hardship of managing multicultural curriculum, restrictions in application of that curriculum, and institutional inertia.

사람이 다르면 인정이 다르고, 인정이 다르면 민속도 달라지기 마련이다. 불을 어떻게 인식하고, 불을 어떤 방식으로 대했는가 하는, 민족 저마다의 민속행위를 주목하는 까닭이 바로 여기에 있다. 그러나 불은 본디부터 인간에게 종속되 것이 아니었고, 오히려 인간이 함부로 다가설 수 없는 변화무쌍한 변물이었다. 그렇기에 불을 '그 어떤 것' 으로 여기고 여기에 신성을 덧붙여 숭봉하는 태도는 모든 문화에 두루 나타나는 보편적인 현상이다. 아마도 불을 얻는 데 소요되었던 노력과 그 노력의 깊이에 따른 지혜의 축적이 그만큼 길었기 때문일까. 한편으로는 숭엄한 사건을 서술하는 신화(myth)로 기억되고, 한편으로는 굳건한 신앙의 대상으로 일상의 삶에 영향을 끼치면서 규범으로 자리잡고 있다. 이를테면 원초적인 신성을 지닌 존재로서 엄중한 신격으로 숭신되기도 하고, 특별한 의례로 해마다 반복되며 규범과 도덕률로 일상을 구속하고 있다. 일상에 가까이 있되 결코 범접할 수 없는 장엄인 것이다. 몽골 유목민의 경우도 예외는 아니다. 다만 그 양상과 의례의 세부 모습이 다를 따름이다.
