The purpose of this study was to observe school education system, higher education, and fashion education in Germany to find a good model for an desirable future education to lead a creative students in Korea, thereby reshaping curriculum. We also analysed the curriculum of the fashion design offered in Hochschule Pforzheim and Berlin University of Art. We used secondary data collection by literature reviews of articles and web sites on the internet. Results of this study are as follows: German school and education system oriented with differentiation even though there are variety of them. Students can select their education system, considering work field and their own life & humanities. Various fashion education institutions were found to have their own education concept to enhance creativity with different system. Our results of analysis of the fashion design program of Hochschule Pforzheim and Berlin University of Art show their creativity education in their curriculums with module basis. Two universities have a differentiate education direction for the same aim to do creative design study and research. We realized that students learn and get the knowledge and apply to the field with a long term internship, communication skill and presentation development courses. Project based modules enable students to be creative, and active human. Strong design basis, and humanities disciplines will support people to creative design works. These two universities offer a good model of program to build up self education drive, academic and practical ways of training, and project based, internship, etc.

The purpose of this study is to analyze firm's motivation of participating and investing in apprenticeship in Germany and Korea, and to investigate institutional factors influencing firm's motivation. By comparing institutional factors of the two countries, it aims to drawing out policy implications for improving Korean apprenticeship. The main method for data collection was comprehensive literature review on international organizations, each countries' government and research institutes' policy materials, statistical data, research outputs and media resources related to each countries' apprenticeship. Considering whether firm's motivation for participating and investing in apprenticeship is production-oriented or investment-oriented, Germany is more inclined to investment motivation with firm's covering net cost during apprenticeship period. On the other hand, Korea is more inclined toward production orientation with firm's expectation of gaining net profit during the training period. Why is firm's training motivation different in these two countries? The author tried to find the reason from the difference of institutional factors of the countries by dividing institutional factors into 4 categories: context(tripartite relations, legal framework), input (flexibility of the system, government incentive), process(training contents, training duration, quality assurance), and output(completion/retention rate, apprentice's productivity). The key implication from the comparative analysis of institutional factors is that it is necessary to enforce companies to have "accountability" on the minimum critical elements, but also to ensure them to have "autonomy" on the rest of the elements.

One of the current issues in Workers' Compensation Insurance is about the coverage range. Korea uses the definition of worker under the Labor Standards Act in Workers' Compensation Act and solved the problems associated with the coverage range of insurance group by the exceptional clause only for the groups which was raised about the need for the social protection. The purpose of this paper is to draw implications for solving problems which are associated with the coverage range of insurance group by reviewing the German literature. We focus on volunteers and persons in special types of employment. German government supports the activity of volunteers by providing with the protection service against the accidents. This paper shows how the coverage range is extended from the dependent employees in the introduction of the Workers' Compensation Insurance to the people who need social protection focusing on the volunteers. The implications of this research are following. First, German system shows that Workers' Compensation Insurance can be extended to the groups which do not belong to the dependent employee but are worthy of protection. Second, it is necessary to provide volunteers in the social welfare system with the protection service against the accidents and the statutory accident scheme is recommendable to use. Third, volunteers in the social welfare system need to be compulsory insured. Fourth, Korea should find their own way in solving problems associated with persons in special types of employment.

The purpose of this study is to explore appropriate fire safety education programs for young children by both examining the actual damage condition and problems associated with fire accident in young children and considering fire safety education programs in America and legal basis for fire safety education in Korea. The results are as follows. First, the mortality of young children by fire accident in Korea is higher than that of U.K, Germany, and Sweden. Second, it is defined by the Child Welfare Law in Korea to implement the mandatory fire safety education for young children in kindergarten and preschool programs. Third, in order to activate fire safety education programs for young children, the fire safety education needs to be suitable for children's developmental characteristics, and various audiovisual materials and activity programs should be developed and provided. Fourth, fire safety education both for early childhood teachers and parents needs to be interrelated and systemized to reduce the risk of fire accident.

This study compared 14 programs for the economically disadvantaged or minority students with potentials in 5 countries - US, UK, Germany, Australia, and Israel, attempting contents and characters of Korean Head Start to be developed, that is the program for economically disadvantaged gifted students or students from multi-cultural families, who are gifted at risk of under-representation and under-achievement. School wide enrichment programs, which served all students with gifted programs, using RTI model in the pursuit of equity and excellence, turned out to be effective as early interventions and identification implemented for economically disadvantaged or minority students with potentials. Gifted programs for low Social Economic Status (SES) or minority students played a role as a bridge for disadvantaged students to get into a regular gifted program or even higher gifted schools and to have a competency to compete with affluent gifted students. The principles of the programs were acceleration and differentiation. Most programs also ran a parents' education and a mentor program to motivate and support disadvantaged students socially and emotionally. Collaboration among governmental offices and usage of external resources were more effective to support these students and the programs.

최근 들어 기업가적 활동을 촉진하는 데 있어 무엇보다도 여성의 경제활동 참여와 사회안전망 구축의 필요성이 제기되고 있는바, 본 연구에서는 사회화경험과 기업가 활동의도의 관계에 대한 맥락적 차이 규명에 초점을 두고, 이들 관계에 대한 성별의 조절 효과와 사회안전망의 삼원조절효과에 대해 규명하고자 한다. 본 연구 목적은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 사회화경험(창업경험, 기업가정신 교육경험)이 기업가 활동의도에 미치는 효과를 규명하고, 이들 관계에 대한 성별의 조절효과를 검증한다. 둘째, 사회화경험 및 기업가정신 교육과 기업가 활동의도의 관계에 대한 성별 조절효과가 사회안전망과 같은 국가 맥락적 차이가 존재하는지에 대해 삼원상호작용 분석을 통해 검증한다. 상기 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 본 연구는 (재)한국청년기업가정신재단에서 제공한 글로벌 기업가정신 추세 리포트(GETR) 자료를 활용하였다. GETR자료는 한국을 포함한 총 20개국(한국, 일본, 중국, 인도네시아, 인도, 싱가포르, 런던, 독일, 러시아, 덴마크, 핀란드, 영국, UAE, 이스라엘, 남아공, 터키, 이집트, 미국, 브라질, 칠레, 호주)을 대상으로 국가별 최소 2,000명을 표본으로 선정해 설문조사가 이루어진 자료이며, 유효 응답자 기준 총 40,388명이 설문에 응답하였다. 그러나 자료 검증과정에서 전체 응답자 중 2,506명이 불성실 응답자 및 이상치로 확인되어 최종 분석과정에서 삭제되었다. 따라서 37,882개의 표본이 최종 분석에 활용되었으며, 여성 17,997명 (47.5%), 남성 19,885명(52.5%)으로 확인되었다. 분석 도구는 Hayes의 Process를 활용하여 사회화 및 교육, 성별, 성별 격차의 삼원상호작용 효과에 대한 분석이 이루어졌다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 창업경험 및 기업가정신 교육경험은 기업가 활동의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 이들 관계에 대한 성별 조절효과를 살펴본 결과, 성별 조절효과는 기업가정신 교육경험과 기업가 활동의도의 관계에 대해서만 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 구체적으로, 기업가정신 교육경험이 기업가 활동의도에 미치는 긍정적 효과는 여성이 남성보다 더 강한 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 사회안전망의 삼원조절효과를 분석한 결과, 창업경험과 기업가 활동의도의 긍정적 관계는 여성이 남성보다 더 강한 것으로 나타났는데, 이러한 효과는 사회안전망이 높은 집단에서 더 높게 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다. 즉, 과거 창업경험이 있는 여성은 사회안전망이 높다고 인식할 경우 과거 창업경험이 있는 남성보다 기업가 활동의도가 더 많이 증가하는 것이다. 이와 관련된 논의는 본문에 제시하였다.

The aim of this review is to present a German system of an outpatient care center under the German Health Insurance Act and home care (integration of medical care, basic care, bathing) under the Long-Term Care Insurance Act. This idea of a German integrated home care system should contribute to the development of a Korean home care model. Prior the introduction of long-term care insurance (1995), and with the of the health insurance law (1989), German outpatient care centers already provided medical and basic care services for patients with acute and chronic symptoms. Since 1995, patients with acute symptoms and rehabilitation periods under the Health Insurance Act have been eligible for home care. The Long-Term Care Insurance Act is intended for all citizens who are unable to carry out their daily activities for more than six months. In 2017, 13,657 (97%) of 14,050 outpatient care centers provided home care services after long-term care and health insurance. In other words, patients in Germany can use home care in both the acute and chronic phase at the same home care center, or 'integrated home-care center'.

This study was initiated to explore the Christian educational challenges of building a "Peer Consciousness" in North and South Korea after reunification. During the period of division, North and South Korea have became heterogeneous in almost all elements of society, including politics, economy, culture, and education. Considering the various social conflicts that the two heterogeneous societies will experience in the process of reunification, the issue of social integration is no longer a side issue of institutional integration or economic integration, but has become an essential element in itself. This is why the Korean church and Christian scholars need to study in depth the social conflicts and integration issues that may arise before and after reunification. For the study, we analyzed the forms of social conflict based on the theory of ''Human Needs Theory', which states that human needs are the conditions for social conflict. Social conflicts stem from the unfulfillment of various human needs, which in turn extend to identity conflicts that seek to form a sense of belonging. In light of the case of unified Germany, where social conflicts converged into identity conflicts, I predicted that conflicts in unified Korea will soon become identity conflicts. The direction of Christian education that should suture the conflicts in the post-reunification society was derived from theological reflection on the concept of 'publicness of Christian education' and 'kingdom of God'. As a concrete educational plan for social integration, I presented the discourse of love of God and love of neighbor through Christian education for dual identity as a citizen and disciple, and emphasized the need for re-socialization education through faith communities

The Ruhr region used to be a large industrial area, working as an engine of economic growth of the Germany. However, the region has been suffering from economic and social problems originating from de-industrialization. Since the 1970s, various levels of governments have attempted to solve the problems with policies of regional innovation, e.g., establishing technology parks, competence centers, and business incubators to promote start-ups, technology transfers, and networks between governments, businesses, universities, public research institutes, and the public. In this context, this paper attempts to analyse governance of regional innovation policies of the Ruhr area, based on an analytical framework developed by a groups of researchers, i.e.. Bae et al (2006), The paper concludes that the roles of governments are important in creating and implementing regional innovation policies of the Ruhr area, the policies heavily rely on the R&D capacity of local universities and public research institutes; and various levels of governments have different roles to play.
