Micro-teaching is one of instructional methods to improve teaching skills whereby teachers present short sessions and receive feedbacks on their performance. In this research, we developed the web based micro-teaching system for more efficient and effective teacher training by placing videotaped session and peer feedbacks near rather than far from each other on the screen. We analyzed previous studies related to the micro-teaching system, and interviewed pre-service teachers to find some suggestions. Based on this analysis, we drew design principles and developed web based micro-teaching system, which helps teachers to plan instructional strategies, to reflect teaching skills, and to participate in peer assessment. We hope that the system will be useful to not only teacher training but also other fields such as presentation or interview skills.

The purpose of this study is to develop an identification model for gifted students, based on class observations and nominations. The definition, issues and methods of identification were examined to achieve the research goal. Gifted identification model based on class observations and nominations consists of 4 steps: The first is the collection of multidimensional information on students, and the second is the evaluation of the students' portfolios with the rubric that has the criteria of rating scales on each information. At the third, students are observed in the class. Then the students are interviewed for the evaluation of their cognitive and non-cognitive characteristics. At the fourth, the identification committee makes a final decision for the selection of gifted students, after considering all the results from the steps. This model will be helpful to identify gifted students who are regarded to have potential abilities, especially economically disadvantaged students.

This paper attempts to examine household's willingness to pay (WTP) for piped water quality improvement in Wonju, where the local government are planning to implement a piped water quality improvement program. We apply a contingent valuation (CV) method to obtain at least a preliminary evaluation of the WTP. The CV survey was rigorously designed to comply with the guidelines for best-practiced CV studies. We surveyed a randomly selected sample of 250 households in Wonju and asked respondents questions in person-to-person interviews about how much they would be willing to pay for the program. Respondents overall accepted the contingent market and were willing to contribute a significant amount (1,583 to 2,776 won), on average, per household per month. This willingness varies according to individual characteristics such as sex, education level, and income. The aggregate value of the program in Wonju amounts to approximately 1.99 billion won to 3.49 billion won per year. The household values can be the benefits that ensue from the program and compared with the costs of the program to determine whether the program is economically desirable.

This study discusses on the influential factors of satisfaction in communication by focusing on the political communication phenomenon that is revealed in our society. The acts of political communication and its communication satisfaction are examined by exploring individuals' political inclination and their media usage which are the main influential factors of political communication. An interview survey was conducted on a thousand adults over the age of nineteen who are residing in sixteen cities and provinces nationwide. As a result, a high rate of online media usage was observed among people with progressive political inclination. It showed that the political communication acts of 'writing/communicating' which indicates ons actively posting their personal opinions, has a positive influence on communication satisfaction. On the other hand, the usage of offline media was dominant over people with conservative and neutral political inclination. A passive act of 'reading/watching,' which is to observe other people's opinions, was shown by most of the interviewees. Therefore, it was able to discuss that in order for a harmonious flow of political communication among our society, the understanding of citizens' political characteristic must be preceded and the differentiated political communication using media must be raised accordingly.

The study was a 2$\times$3 between subject factorial design with two levels of attractiveness (attractive, moderately attractive) and three levels of dress image(masculine, androgynous, feminine). A group of clothing experts and the middle.level management staffs within a large corporation selected two models(attractive, moderately attractive) through two-step evaluation Process after viewing photographs of 50 female university students. Dresses in three levels were selected by a group of five experts. Two models were photographed with controlled background in three different clothes. Data were collected from 162 management level staffs enrolled in the Top Business Management, The Top Policy Science and the Top Press Information Graduated School of Korea University. Each respondent saw photograph and evaluated the applicant in terms of eight items of employment potential and suitable job type (management position vs. secretary) The results of this research were as follows: 1. Physical attractiveness had significant influences on applicants 'employment potential. Attractive applicant's emplolyment potential was evaluated higher than moderately attract live applicant. 2. Dress had little influence on female job applicants 'employment potential, but dress of androgynous image was evaluated relatively positively. 3.

This study examined the job experience of visiting supervisors for multicultural families. To achieve the goal of this study, data was collected by in-depth interviews with 7 visiting supervisors for multicultural families. For an analysis of the data, the grounded theory approach by Strauss and Corbin [11] was employed. The results of an analysis of the categories are detailed below. Through an open coding process, a total of 124 concepts, 33 subcategories, and 13 categories were produced. The central phenomenon was 'uncertain employment '. From the axial coding, the causal conditions were 'employment for economic reasons' and 'frequent policy and regulation changes'. The contextual conditions were 'uneasiness about the evaluation result', 'unilateral work instruction system', and 'little improvement of treatment'. Intervention conditions were 'high level of satisfaction with work', 'handy source of income', and 'no other alternative'. Action/interaction strategies were 'efforts for contract extension' and 'receptive attitude'. The consequences were 'hope to retain employment' and 'agonizing over their rights'.

This study was performed to investigate the currents status of the sexual assaults on women public transportation users and to provide solutions in order to provide safe transportation services to women. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with career women in Gyeonggi-do. The main purpose of the interview was to understand their experiences about sexual assaults while using public transport and to investigate the extent to which their experiences affected their transportation-related behaviors. The effects of various related transport policies on women behaviors were also analyzed by estimating structural equation models. The results showed that among them, CCTV, accessible warning bells, and more police presence seemed to be more effective, but that woman-only sections were not as effective as others in reducing the number of crimes. The results implied that individual subjective norms and their perceived behavioral control, behavior intention were important factors. Based on these results, we recommended additional policies more effective in sexual crime reduction.

Although various efforts to increase the usage of the Yeouido Saetgang river have been made after it was established as the first ecological park in 1997, its usage is significantly lower compared to neighboring Yeouido Han river park. In this study, an interview survey of 1,000 visitors to Yeouido Saetgang river park was conducted. The perception and activity patterns among the visitors were examined. The results showed that about 60 percent of all users were neighboring residents who can move by a walk. Most of the visitors spend their time in the river park taking exercises and observing the ecosystem. It is similar to the characteristics of other city parks in Seoul. The perceptions and activity patterns according to the visitor's characteristics were analyzed statistically. Also, the effect level of activity patterns on the perceptions such as satisfaction, attachment, and willingness to participate was analyzed and discussed.
