In this study, based on the current curriculum of consumer education in high school with the advent of Web 2.0 age, I analyzed both the curriculum used by new information tools related with Web 2.0 age and the one used by traditional tools to find out the degree of necessity of consumer education for the high school students in proportion to the level of their informational ability. First, compared with the education of food, clothes and shelter in the curriculum of manual training and domestic science, the necessity, importance, and availability were low and the students had a lower level of interest than they had with the three factors mentioned above. Second, after dividing the sector of consumer education in the curriculum into three fields such as reasonable purchase and use, solution and prevention of consumer problems and forming a new consumer trend, I looked into the necessity of the teaching method using conventional tools and the one using new informational tools following Web 2.0 age respectively. Traditional tools were favored for the education of consumption-related laws and policies, consumers' rights for the general cause of consumer problem solving and preventing. For the generation of the new comsumer trend, the new information tools were preferred in the appreciation of consuming culture and the issues of consuming environment. Third, it was revealed that students' level of informational ethics was the highest at 5.55 while their level of information creation and processing was the lowest at 3.96 from the research of six categories of their informational ability.

현재 우리나라의 IT 정보화는 세계 1위의 브로드밴드(초고속 인터넷) 이용국이 될 정도로 빠르게 변모하면서 정치, 사회, 문화 뿐만 아니라 시장 경제에 상당한 영향을 미치고 있다. 특히 소비자의 소비생활형태에도 큰 변화를 가져왔으며 또한 그에 따른 소비자의 인식이 높아지면서 소비자가 시장경제 주체로서의 소비자 주권시대를 열었다. 이러한 IT정보를 기반으로한 소비 문화의 변화와 소비 주체의식의 고취는 정부의 소비자관련 정책과 또 기업의 경영에도 상당한 영향을 미치게 되었다. 그러나 현재 많은 기업들이 소비자에 대한 인식과 그에 대한 대응의 필요성은 인식하고 있으나 실질적인 소비자 대응에 대한 전문성 강화를 위한 인식 및 투자나 기업 입장에서의 실질적인 소비에 대한 연구 및 교육활동도 아직까지는 매우 소극적이고 미흡한 것이 사실이다. 따라서 회사 내의 고객 접점에서의 고객상담의 중요성과 응대 실무에 대해 정리해보았다.

최근 소비자들은 쾌적한 삶의 추구와 가족 중심적 사고로 여가와 레저를 중시하고 물리적 가치보다 정보가치와 시간가치를 더욱 중요시하여 쇼핑에서도 편익성을 추구하는 경향이다. 이와 함께 국내의 소비생활 양식이 서구형으로 변화하고, 교육기회의 증가, 신용사회의 정착, 정보화 사회의 출현 등 홈쇼핑 시장의 성숙조건이 갖추어져 있어 홈쇼핑에 대한 수요는 더욱 증가할 것으로 기대된다. 이에 본 연구는 홈쇼핑으로 의류제품을 구매하는 소비자의 특성을 파악하여 홈쇼핑 활성화에 다소 도움을 주기 위하여 실시되었다. (중략)

As we enter into the 21C, it is important to reassess the knowledge and skills that are necessary for individual consumers and consumer professionals to be able to function efficiently in the rapidly changing society, and also to develop teaching tools fit to enhance the teaming of such knowledge and skills. The Purpose of this study is three-folds: 1) to identify key competencies necessary in the 21C consumer education, especially in higher education institutions, 2) to suggest 'experiential learning' as an ideal pedagogical tool for consumer education in the 21C century, and 3) to provide an example from an undergraduate classroom in the U.S. that applies 'service learning' as a teaching tool in a consumer studies curriculum. Discussions about the potentials for expanding this learning strategy are also provided.

This study was conducted to provide a foundation for housewife-consumer education programs appropriate in the information society. For this purpose, the authors reviewed existing literature, analysed consumer counseling cases, and conducted focus group interviews. The need for housewife-consumer education was illustrated, and desirable educational contents and methods were proposed. The existing housewife-consumer education programs did not work effectively because the contents were too general, and mostly structured with non-interactive one-way lectures. More effective programs should be designed to accomodate the educational purpose and contents which fitted with the specific needs of housewives as the representatives of the family consumer units. It should also take the family life cycle stages into consideration. The education programs would work better when they were oriented more toward actively participating, locally-based spontaneous small-groups.

In this research, we analyzed the performance of the e-village shopping mall as an online agricultural business platform. The results suggested some critical factors that might assist the e-village owners to increase their sales by implementing the e-village information systems. We hypothesized that IT education, IT usage, online community activity, and organizational knowledge sharing influenced the e-village sales. Moreover, we investigated the moderating effect of rural experience tourism on those independent variables (IT education, IT usage, online community activity, and organizational knowledge sharing). The results indicated that online community activity had a positive effect on the online business sales, while IT education, IT usage, and organizational knowledge sharing showed insignificant effects. Furthermore, the interaction effects between rural experience tourism and both IT education and the IT usage were positive and significant. Thus, we conclude that the rural experience tourism moderated the relationship between (1) IT education and e-village sales, and (2) IT usage and e-village sales, but not the relationship between (1) online community activity and e-village sales, and (2) organizational knowledge sharing and e-village sales.

We should set up a policy objective to obtain consumer engagement in smart grid and analyze the key influencing factors in smart grid consumer engagement in oder to deploy smart grid successfully. It is because the successful deployment of smart grid depends on whether the end users accept the smart grid products and services. So far, There have been few studies in Korea which focus on the smart grid consumer engagement. Therefore, we carried out an literature review in terms of smart grid consumer engagement and tried to suggest related policy implications. As a result, we identified key influencing factors such as monetary benefits, environment-friendly characteristics, cyber security and understanding of smart grid. Futhermore, we suggested policy implications related to customer education, linkage between smart grid policies and other environmental ones, cyber security enhancement, etc.
