This study attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of the Supportive Project for the Priority Region of Educational Welfare Investment(SPPREWI) which has been put into action in Korea as a part of national policies for poor school children. In so doing this study aimed to test SPPREWI's legitimacy as well as whether we have to continue this program or not. In order to fulfill this research purpose researchers identified several outcome indicators of SPPREWI, which represent psychosocial and cognitive adjustment. The variables pertaining to psychosocial adjustment domain are: self-concept; depression, anxiety, and suicidal impulse; inclination of assault and indignation; delinquency; school life adjustment; and change in social relations. The variables of cognitive adjustment include recognition of self-control in learning; control strategy of learning behavior; and preparedness for job hunting. In this study the quasi-experimental group contained students from schools which are under the SPPREWI. The control group was composed of students from schools which were free from SPPREWI but under the influence of deteriorating school environment. The quasi-experimental group and the control group were compared in terms of outcome indicators presented earlier. Within the quasi-experimental group both the students below poverty-line and the students above poverty-line were divided into two groups each by the level of service use, and were compared in terms of the outcome variables presented earlier. Study results supported the argument that SPPREWI was effective generally in improving students' school adjustment. Study results also showed that the variable of 'school nurturance' played a significant role in moderating the effect of SPPREWI on a couple of outcome variables specially when schools' overall educational environment was in poor condition. Implication as well as suggestion were presented on the basis of study findings.

This study investigated the effects of scientific inquiry experiments emphasizing social interaction on the academic achievement, the ability for science inquiry and the learning motivation of the students. To examine the differences among the classes of scientific inquiry experiments according to the way of organizing small groups, the effects of the group in homogeneous cognitive level and the group in heterogeneous cognitive level were compared. 255 7th-graders were grouped into the treatment group and the control group. After the treatment group received the scientific inquiry experimental lessons emphasizing social interaction and the control group received traditional lessons for one year, academic achievement, ability for scientific inquiry, and learning motivation were examined. These inquiry experiments were composed of four steps which are eliciting, familiarizing, constructing and bridging. And students can interact with peers and teachers through the process of relating observed phenomena to concept, constructing experiment procedure, and eliciting results. The ANCOVA results revealed that there were significant effects of science inquiry experiments emphasizing social interaction on the academic achievement, the ability for scientific inquiry and the learning motivation of the students. The significant academic achievement of the students in most of the cognitive levels, if not all, was found and degree of improvement in the ability for scientific inquiry was lower than that in the academic achievement. Concerning the effects according to the way of organizing small groups, there were significant improvement in academic achievement and learning motivation of the group in homogeneous cognitive level compared to the group in heterogeneous cognitive level. These results indicate that social interaction in learning is important and it has positive influences on the improvement in academic achievement and ability for scientific inquiry of students.

Research was undertaken to examine the effectiveness of PST for the depression of Korean Elderly. The program and manual for korean elderly was developed based on PST procedures for depression as outlined by Nezu and D'Zurilla(2007). For the purpose, 150 old people over 65 who resided in chunchun were randomly selected. and screened with PHQ-9. 42 elderly who had depression symptom at middle level, were chosen for study and randomly assigned into experimental group(n=23) and control group(n=19). PST is a six session, manual-based conducted over an 6-week period by trained interviewers in the elderly's home. As a results, CES-D and KGDS of the experimental group have been significantly decreased and total SPSI-R has been significantly increased between pre-and post measures while no statically significant change was found in control group. This results suggest that problem-solving therapy program might decrease the depression and enhance the problem solving ability of the elderly and that PST can be suitable to home visit program with social work perspectives.

Despite the benefits of social activity on happiness, humans still spend over one third of their time by themselves-sleeping. The effect of sleep quality on happiness as well as its underlying mechanism are examined in this study. Based on previous findings on the role of sleep in consolidation of memories, it was hypothesized that a good sleep would promote happiness by increasing the likelihood of recalling everyday episodes in a positively biased manner. In Study 1, regardless of one's demographic variables, social variables, and economic status, sleep quality was positively related to life satisfaction. To examine the causal direction of this effect, participants were asked to complete a survey twice with different time intervals. Controlling for baseline variables, sleep quality during previous two weeks (Study 2) or previous day (Study 3) significantly predicted the participants' life satisfaction. Moreover, this relationship was partially mediated by a positive memory bias (Study 3). This study opens interesting questions on a relatively unexamined nonsocial predictor of happiness, sleep quality.

해외건설업의 경영은 지리적$\cdot$문화적 차이, 환경의 다양성, 통제불가능 변수의 존재 등 여러 가지의 불확실성 등으로 인해 국내에서의 건설업 경영보다 어려우며 그마만큼 현지화의 정착이 어렵다고 하겠다. 따라서 당해지역에 기진출 또는 진출하고자 하는 투자기업이 현지에서 국내 기업과 마찬가지로 하나의 기업으로 정착하여 현지에서의 경제적$\cdot$사회적$\cdot$정치적 변화에 능동적으로 대처하고 현지 사회와의 조화로운 성장을 도모할 수 있도록 하는 것이 현지화가 바라는 궁극적인 목적이 되겠다. 이에따라 우리 기업이 해외시장에 현지화를 도모하기 위해서는 현지의 관습, 문화 등을 충분히 숙지하고 거기에 알맞는 제반 경영관리 기법을 개발하는 등 국제 경영능력을 배양하지 않으면 안된다. 이것이 바로 현지화와 직결되는 과제라고 할수 있겠다. 이에 해외건설협회와 경제연구소에서는 해외건설진흥기금 지원사업의 일환으로 건설업 개별기업이 해외 현지화를 정착시키는데 일조가 되고자 $\ulcorner$해외건설의 현지화 정착 방안$\lrcorner$을 마련하였다. 이 내용을 본지에서는 발췌$\cdot$정리, 게재하여 해외 진출에 뜻이 있는 우리 설비업계에 도움을 주고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 온라인 환경과 모바일 환경이 가지는 각 플랫폼의 약점은 서로 보완하고 각각이 가진 강점을 최대한 활용할 수 있는 방법으로 유무선 연동을 이용한 게임을 제안한다. 이를 위해 유무선 연동방식익 게임 구성방법과 이러한 게임구성에 있어 게임 플레이어가 몰입할 수 있는 요인들에 대해 고찰하였다. 본 연구는 게임의 구성요소를 코어메카닉(Core Mechanic)과 코어 메카닉의 변화(Core Mechanic Variation), 캐릭터(Character)로 구분하고 이러한 구성요소들을 물리적, 사회적 시뮬레이션(Simulation)이라는 방법으로 구성하여 이를 실제 유무선 연동방식 구현 사례 게임 <똘끼>를 통해 설명한다. 또한, 게임을 디자인하는데 있어 게임 플레이어가 몰입할 수 있는 3가지 변인으로서 통제감, 숙련도와 도전감, 사회적 상호작용을 제안하고, 이들 변인들을 게임 플레이어에게 제공하는 방법들을 적용 사례 <똘끼>를 통해 설명한다. 본 연구는 하나의 플랫폼에서만 플레이할 수 있었던 기존의 게임과는 차별화되는 유무선 연동을 이용한 게임을 통해 게임의 구성방법과 게임플레이어에게 게임에 대한 몰입감을 제공하는 방법에 대하여 연구함으로써 게임디자인에 있어서 새로운 구성방향을 제시했다는 점에서 의의를 가진다.

오늘날의 경찰활동의 가치는 범죄통제에 초점을 두는, 즉 범죄진압을 강조하는 사건지향적인 경찰활동이라 할 수 있는 전통적인 경찰활동에서 순찰 등의 강화를 통한 범죄예방에 중점을 두는 지역사회 경찰활동으로 그 중심이 옮겨가고 있다. 이러한 지역사회 경찰활의 철학을 실천하는 전략으로서 문제지향적 경찰활동이 강조되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 도시범죄와 관련하여 현실적으로 범죄문제에 대응할 수 있는 범죄예방전략인 문제지향적 경찰활동의 이론적인 틀을 모색하고자 하는데 연구의 목적을 두었다. 이를 위해 문제지향적 경찰활동의 기본적인 개념과 특징, 그리고 문제지향적 경찰활동 실천의 핵심인 SARA모델과 사례를 살펴보았다.
