국내외적으로 스마트러닝은 자기주도형 학습과 같은 새로운 학습모델을 통해 기존 학습과 비교하여 높은 학습 성과를 있다. 그러나 다문화 가정 학부모는 디지털 기기에 대한 접근성과 자료 활용 능력이 일반국민에 비해 현저하게 떨어지는 정보격차로 인해 기존의 교육 콘텐츠의 효과적 활용은 제약점을 갖고 있다. 이 논문에서는 다문화 가정 학부모의 지능형 맞춤 교수학습 지원체제의 주요한 요구사항인 정보격차 해소를 위한 다문화가정 맞춤형 학습콘텐츠 추천 시스템의 설계를 기술한다.

One of the main reasons of information divide of multi-cultural family is caused by language barrier that is associated with low education level. In addition the social problem can be triggered by the information divide that may increase the gap of economic inequality. With respect to the overall capability of accessibility of digital devices and the level of data utilization, the parent of muiti-cultural family's level is inferior to that of the parents of an ordinary family. However the traditional learning contents management system for those parents is not appropriate to decease the gap of the information divide. To handle this problem, it is necessary to construct a customized learning contents management system that is used to support the education of the parents of multi-cultural family depending on the level of understanding the learning contents written in korean. In this paper we design the korean to korean translation based learning contents management system and show the result of its prototype.

During the pandemic status of COVID-19 since 2019 December, demands and attention on various convergence services with non-contact technologies and social adoption are increasing. Along with these increased demands and attention, the digital divide issues should be concerned to understand the informatization degrees of rural area residences, the elderly, the disabled, and the low-income. Furthermore, rural area residences may be the elderly, the disabled, and the low-income also. It may mean that the rural area should be considered as in noticeable status of the digital divide. This study focuses on the policy alternatives to reduce the digital divide in rural areas with a literature review methodology and on the factors on informatization issues in rural areas. For the aims, this study analyzes the EU cases of informatization in rural areas to find out the advantages and disadvantages of the suggested policies. As the analysis result, it is clear that the EU countries try to enhance the economic and growth powers rather to reduce the digital divide gaps. Also, it can be considered that the EU countries focus on supporting the rural area to adopt the non-contact information services newly rather on maintaining the IT education services and the infrastructures in off-line environments.

정보산업은 우리나라 여건상 국가발전을 위한 전략산업으로서 많은 잠재력을 갖고 있다. 또한 국가사회의 정보화 촉진을 위한 핵심수단으로서 정보산업의 성장 및 발전은 시급한 과제라고 할 수 있다. 특히 국민의 정보화 체감도와 밀접한 관련이 있는 정보 이용부문에서는 선진국과의 격차가 더욱 큰 상황에 있으며 정보이용부문을 비롯 국가정보화 수준을 혁신적으로 제고하기 위한 정보산업육성방안의 수립이 시급한 상황에 있다. WTO라는 새로운 국제환경의 변화에 적극적으로 대응코자 정보화 및 정보산업에 대한 금융지원 방안을 제시함으로 21세기 핵심산업으로 부상하고 있는 정보산업관련 금융지원방안의 주요내용을 본고에서 알아보고자 한다.

This study examined relevant literature to review the concept of low-income class, its criteria and types. Based on the cases surveyed, the service status of public libraries for low-income class in South Korea was determined. Based on the findings of this study, we proposed new library services necessary for low-income class, such as the implementation of relevant programs aimed at resolving the digital information divide of low-income class, the introduction of employment programs for the self-economic-support for low-income class adults, and the introduction of reading and counseling therapy services. In addition, this study proposed five policies for activating library services for the low-income class: (1) To revise the act on library law so as to clarify the concept of low-income class, its criteria and types, (2) to revise the master plan for library development so as to bolster the library services for low-income class, (3) to conduct a national-level survey of the low-income class status and of the library service status, (4) to determine the actual features of the low-income class and their information demands, and (5) to prepare library services tailored to the diverse types of low-income class.

Recently, Korean society has emphasized the level of digital information usage in each individual's life due to the advent of the intelligent information society and the great digital transformation. The purpose of this study is to examine how the level of digital information usage of people with disabilities affects their satisfaction with life and whether social support moderates the relationship between the level of digital information usage and life satisfaction. This study analyzed the data of 2,200 people with disabilities taken from the 2020 Survey on the Digital Divide conducted by the National Information Society Agency. The results of the analysis suggest that people with disabilities have a higher degree of satisfaction when they are employed and have a higher than average monthly income and higher levels of digital information usage and social support. In addition, the results show that social support played a negative moderator role between the level of digital information usage and life satisfaction. This shows that life satisfaction can increase when the disabled frequently use digital devices and technologies in their daily lives without relying on social support, and suggested the need for intervention in policies and practice sites.

Individuals and organizations in the modern society produce diverse digital objects everyday, which are not only valuable information resources at present but also will be invaluable digital heritage for the future generation. TRAC(Trustworthy Repositories Audit & Certification: Criteria & Checklist) is one of the evaluating tools against which digital archives could be assessed for their preparedness to perform the task of long-term preservation. The current study uses TRAC to assess OASIS(Online Archiving & Searching Internet Source). The results show that the web archive has a greater room for strengthening in the object management infrastructure than in organizational and technical infrastructures.

Modern society has become a "digital risk society" with the rapid advancement of digital technologies. The growing use of digital tools in education has led to discussions on managing digital risks that arise in teaching and learning contexts. Among all subjects, science education has experienced significant digital transformation, emphasizing the need for strategies to address digital risks within the subject. This study explores digital literacy education as a possible approach to addressing digital risks in science education. To achieve this, the study analyzes the types of digital risks prevalent in modern society and examines the trends of research on digital risks within the context of digital literacy education. This was done by collecting 415 SSCI articles published over the past decade (2014-2023) with the keyword "Digital Risk" and conducting topic modeling and hierarchical clustering to identify types of digital risks. Additionally, 110 KCI articles published with the keyword "Digital Literacy Education" were collected and classified according to the identified digital risk types. These articles were then compared and analyzed based on publication year, school level, and subject to understand the characteristics of digital risks within science education. The findings are as follows: First, the identified digital risk types include intellectual property infringement, spreading fake news, privacy infringement, cyber financial crimes, gaps in digital literacy, digital technology overdependence, and social structural risks. Second, an analysis of publication trends over the years revealed that discussions on digital risks increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, with research on the digital literacy gap being the most prominent. Third, in terms of school level, digital literacy education addressing digital risks was more actively researched in primary education than in secondary education. Finally, subject-area analysis indicated that science education had the lowest proportion of research on digital risks relative to overall digital literacy studies. In science education, discussions primarily focused on intellectual property infringement, spreading fake news, and gaps in digital literacy. This study emphasizes the importance of addressing digital risks in science education and provides foundational data for further discussions on this topic.
