The purpose of this study is to examine problems and status quo of the smart media addiction prevention system and to develop convergence policies to improve those systems. Based on the literature review, notable results are as following; Since current facilities including Internet Addiction Prevention Center, Korea Youth Counselling and Welfare Institute, and I Will Center, tend to focus on restricting use of smart media, efforts from various ministries have not worked properly. Therefore, there needs to be more specified and customized services based on regions and ages. Following the precedent set by advanced countries, this study suggest alternative policies to help solving the problem including recommending responsible use of social media through education rather than regulations only, encouraging family participation and intervention, expanding harmful environment block system, and establishing a partnership between local government and private organizations under central government's control. Since smart media addiction is emerging concern, further researches will be needed for developing the Korean standard for prevention policy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore maternal physical activity support for preschool children. Methods: Survey methodology using a self-administered questionnaire was employed. Mothers with preschool children from a daycare center in Daejeon participated in the study. One hundred and fifty-six questionnaires were analyzed. Results: Mothers with preschool children showed a moderate level of physical activity support for their children. Significant factors affecting physical activity support of mothers were monthly household income (${\beta}$=.417, p=.002), maternal self-efficacy for physical activity support (${\beta}$=.231, p=.003), information for physical activity support (${\beta}$=.173, p=.022), and experience of education about physical activity support (${\beta}$=.237, p=.002). These variables explained 26.4% of the variance in physical activity support (F=7.628, p<.001). Conclusion: To improve maternal support for increasing physical activity of preschool children, maternal education and appropriate information should be provided to improve self-efficacy for physical activity support.

While many research focused learners as those who excel in mathematics or science, the identification of learners with potential or demonstrated talent in visual art has also been the meaningful research topic. Since these learners exhibit high performance capability in intellectual, creative and artistic areas, they require services or programs not ordinarily provided by the schools. This research tried to clarify what high performance means when speaking of learners with outstanding talent in the visual arts based on the relevant literature. Also, this research introduced the recent trends in the field of art gifted and talented education. In order to demonstrate critical issues and find new directions in art education for gifted learners, this research conducted the survey, and this survey target group was arts high school students. Based on the survey analysis, this research conducted the semi-structured interviews with focal participants including the teachers and an artist. Interviewees generated many meaningful issues, and interview analysis reconceptualized art education for gifted learners as following. 1) Gifted education should consider learners' excellence, equity, troubles, and struggles that often go unnoticed. 2) We should reform the criteria, standards, and strategies in finding art gifted learners. 3) In order to facilitate meaningful and creative art education, higher education institutions need to change the current college entrance exam. 4) The goal of gifted art education is not only raising the world-class artists. 5) Meaningful art education for gifted learners is in interaction with the environment including group dynamics, parents influence, and teachers.

"관자(管子)" 사편(四篇)은 전국 말 직하황노도가(稷下黃老道家)의 문헌으로 중국철학사에 있어 매우 중요한 위치를 점하고 있다. 하지만 "관자(管子)" 사편(四篇)은 문헌과 저자에 대한 기록이 불확실하고 제자백가의 사상을 포괄적으로 수용 복잡한 사상체계를 형성하고 있기 때문에 오랜시간 사람들의 주목을 받지 못했다. 1940년대 학자들은 중국철학 사료를 다시 정리하였고 이때 곽말약(郭沫若)에 의해 "관자(管子)" 사편(四篇)의 명칭이 처음으로 등장하게 된다. 1994년 "직하황노학파적비판(稷下黃老學派的批判)"과 "송견윤문유저고"에서 곽말약(郭沫若)이 "관자(管子)" 가운데 "심술(心術)" 상하(上下), "백심(白心)", "내업(內業)"의 사편(四篇)를 송견(宋?)과 윤문(尹文)의 저작이라고 주장한 이래 고문헌의 출토와 더불어 "관자(管子)" 사편(四篇)는 다시 학계의 관심을 받기 시작한다. "관자(管子)" 사편(四篇)의 저작 시기는 전국말로 추정된다. 이 시기는 사상의 르네상스라고 불릴 만큼 많은 학자들이 저마다의 독특한 논리들로서 당시의 사회의 문제점을 직시하고 그 해결방안을 모색하였던 시대였다. 농업생산력의 향상과 교통의 발달로 많은 지식인은 제(齊)나라의 직하(稷下)에 모여 전대의 역사적, 철학적 유산을 기반으로 심(心)과 도(道)에 관한 논의를 벌였고, 그 통합적 저작물이 "관자(管子)" 사편(四篇)이다. 때문에 "관자(管子)" 사편(四篇)는 전국시대 제자학(諸子學)을 총정리하는 종합서의 성격을 가진다. 본 연구의 목적은 "관자(管子)" 사편(四篇)에 나타나는 심(心)개념의 연구를 통해 전국말 직하황노도가(稷下黃老道家)의 심(心)에 대한 이해를 살펴보는데 있다. 이를 위해 먼저, "관자(管子)" 사편(四篇)의 중심철학범주인 도(道), 기(氣), 정기(精氣)와 심(心)의 관계에 대하여 살펴보고, 다음으로 "관자(管子)" 사편(四篇)에 보이는 심(心)의 개념분석을 통하여 구체적인 심(心)의 구조와 기능에 대하여 탐색할 것이다. 그리고 마지막으로 심(心)과 그 수양론(修養論)에 대하여 검토할 것이다.

The purposes of this study was to develop a valid scale measuring organization-related anxiety and to use this scale to examine the relation of organizational anxiety to demographic variables, job satisfaction and organizational committment. A series of studies were conducted to develop a scale for organizational anxiety. Initially, the 97 items were adopted by expert ratings. A exploratory factor analysis with a sample of 435 workers yielded a preliminary version of organizational anxiety scale with 28 items. Subsequently, a confirmatory factor analysis was conducted with a sample of 566 workers, leaving 20 items. The final version of the organizational anxiety scale consisted of 4 sub-factors: perception of future uncertainty, perception of locus of control, interpersonal anxiety, and perception of alternatives. In this study, the examined demographic characteristics included sex, age, type of occupation, type of industry, occupational position, monthly income and educational level. Organizational effectiveness was composed of job satisfaction and organizational commitment. As mediators, organizational culture, life satisfaction, self efficacy, and social support were explored. The negative relationship was observed between organizational anxiety and organizational effectiveness. The results showed the significant differences in organizational anxiety by demographic characteristics. The mediators were explored for the relationship between organizational anxiety and job satisfaction and between organizational anxiety and organizational commitment. The negative relationship between organizational anxiety and job satisfaction was mediated by the group culture, the developmental culture, the rational culture, life satisfaction, self-efficacy, and social support. Individuals with the higher level of these mediators reported greater job satisfaction even if they experienced organizational anxiety. The partial mediation effect of the group culture, the developmental culture, the rational culture, life satisfaction, and social support was observed on the negative relationship between organizational anxiety and organizational commitment. These results implies that job satisfaction and organizational commitment can be improved with the interventions on organizational cultures, self-efficacy, and social support despite the presence of organizational anxiety. Based on these results, the implication and limitations of this study and the directions for future research discussed.

The purpose of this study is to analyze changes in gender differences of Korean students in PISA mathematics assessment and investigate possible factors influencing the decrease of gender gap in mathematics performances. According to the results of PISA mathematics assessment, Korea showed significant large gender differences in mathematics achievement in both 2000 and 2003. The gender gap in favor of boys, however, has decreased since 2006. An interesting point from these results is that Korean girls' significant improvement led to the decrease in gender difference in 2006 and 2009 assessment. Based on a review of literature on gender differences in mathematics, possible explanations for the girls' improvement in mathematics achievements are identified as follows: the Korean government policy to encourage and support girls' study in mathematics and science and supportive environments could influence positively girls' attitudes toward mathematics and their mathematics learning; the changes in the mathematics curriculum and textbooks which emphasize similar characteristics to PISA mathematics assessment could affect the girls' improvement by reducing their unfamiliarity with PISA mathematics assessment items.
