The purpose of this study was to analyze Korean Women's U.S. Ph.D. Degree-seeking Process and career development in the field of science and engineering in the United States. We conducted the analysis on the basis of SED (Survey of Earned Doctorates) data of the National Science Foundation. Since 2001, the number of Korean Ph.D. degree recipients from United States universities has been increasing and about 25% of them were women. Their median age was 33.3 years old, and one third of them were the recipients of research and teaching assistantships while pursuing a Ph.D. degree. At the time of receiving the degree, 51.8% reported having definite commitments for employment or postdoctoral study or research. Over 70% of the degree holders were presumed to stay and work in the United States. The study finally addressed policy implications regarding their recruitment to Korea and a need for a longitudinal survey.

This paper examines the gender pay gap among doctorate holders in Korea to understand the determinants of this gap and control of its variation. A particular focus of this study is to seek to infer the extent to which this pay gap is the consequence of gender-based disparate treatment. The main results indicate that there is a sizeable gender pay gap even among workers with doctorate degrees, that is, very highly educated workers. Moreover, this gender pay gap cannot be largely explained by gender differences in characteristics, indicating the existence of discrimination against female doctorate holders in the Korean labor market.

Doctoral professionals who majored Home Economics Education are relatively rare and recently have been produced in a limited number of institutions. The purpose of this paper was to analyze the Ph.D. Dissertation majored in Home Economics Education by research subjects and methods. Just twenty dissertations published in domestic universities were selected through internet search to be analyzed in this paper. This research showed five research subject areas of the dissertation such as core concepts and perspectives, curriculum, teaching and learning, teachers empowerment, and others. Each subject had three to five references and time difference in publication. The research subject related to concepts and perspectives was more likely to be studied in an early stage, followed by the subject of curriculum. The research subject became to be varied to teaching and learning and teachers empowerment areas. The research methods were associated with the research subject, as expected. Literature analysis was common in the subject on concepts and perspectives, curriculum, and textbook analysis, while survey was in teachers empowerment. Teaching and learning subject used various research methods together. Numerous dissertation with variety of research subjects and methods would be expected to be followed to develop research on Home Economics Education.

23년 전인 1976년 Nebraska대학에서 박사과정을 이수할 때의 일이다. 그때 나는 학위논문을 대수학분야로 잡고 있으면서 대수학의 환론과목과 해석학분야의 위너적분론을 수강했다. 그런데 막상 시험을 볼 때 감기몸살로 대수학 환론과목을 망치는 바람에 박사학위 방향을 해석학분야로 돌렸다. 그때 나를 지도하던 Johnson교수는 20년이 지난 지금까지도 스승으로 선배로서 학문의 동반자 관계를 계속하고 있어 그때 시험의 감기몸살이 나에겐 전화위복이 된 셈이다.

This study analyzed trends in research activity as represented in master's theses and doctoral dissertations in the field of library and information science from 2001 to 2010. This study explores the year of publication, the university of publication, the department/major of publication, and subject by examining recent trends in theses and dissertations in the field of LIS, and comparing the results to previously reported by Sohn, Jung-Pyo, for the period of 1959 to 2002. Conclusions are 1) The finding of this study demonstrate that quantitative progress is being made in library and information science research in 2000s. 2) In comparison to previous study, average number of master's theses and doctoral dissertations per year increased four times. 3) The number of master's theses and doctoral dissertations on the subject area of information services were increased.

해방이후 남북한이 분단된지 이미 46년이 되었다. 그동안 남한에서는 미국의 제도를 많이 도입하여 학사-석사-박사 학위제도가 정착되어 양적으로 엄청난 발전을 이룩하였고 북한에서는 소련의 제도를 모방해서 우리나라식의 종합대학은 존재하지 않고 공과대학도 학과별로 세분화되어서 기계대학, 화학공업대학, 건설대학, 경공업대학, 체신대학, 광산금속대학 등으로 발전되었고 공장대학이 77개나 있다. 김책공업종합대학만이 공과계열학과가 모두 설치되어 있는 대학이고 김일성종합대학에는 공과계열이 자동화학부와 원자력학부 뿐이다. 북한에서는 대학 과정을 졸업하면 학위를 받지 못하며 대학원 3년과정을 마쳐야 학사 학위를 받으며 이 학위는 소련의 Candidate 학위와 같은 것으로서 우리의 석사와 박사의 중간에 해당되는 학위이다. 최근에는 이 학위를 준박사라고 부르고 있다. 이와같이 달라진 남북한의 공학교육제도를 고찰해봄으로써 앞으로 있게될 남북한 교류에 대비하고자 한다.

This survey was conducted on KOSEF's research internship awardees (FY 1998 to 2001) in order to investigate the employment status of doctoral and master's degree holders in Geosciences in Korea. An unemployment rate of KOSEF's research internship awardees (FY 1998 to 2001) was 32.0 percent for the doctoral and master's degree holders in Geosciences. 37.2 percent of employed doctoral and master's degree holders only obtained employment as a full-time and part-time status in industry, research institutions and academia in Korea. The U.S. Census Bureau conducted the 2001 survey of doctoral recipients (SDR). Based on this survey, most U.S. doctoral holders were employed and an unemployment rate for 2001 was only 1.3 percent of the Geosciences doctoral holders. KOSEF or related academic societies should be able to provide a more precise information of the employment status for new doctoral and master's degree holders in Geosciences by conducting the survey of doctoral and master's degree recipients. The results of this survey will be used to understand and to predict trends in employment opportunities in Geosciences for doctoral and master's degree holders.

의과대학 동기 65명중 예방의학자의 길을 택한 사람은 나 하나 뿐이었다. 밤낮 구별없이 대학서 지세운 대학 조교생활 4년, 국내서 박사학위를 받고 미국으로 유학, 하와이대서 '질병역학과 통계학 연계과정' 박사학위를 받을 때까지 연구현장에서 젊음을 불태운 삶의 여정에 지금 나는 만족한다. 젊어서 연구에 많은 시간을 보내고 나이가 들어서 교육에 시간을 보내는 학문의 길은 내가 선택한 가장 적합한 길이라고 확신한다.
