This study investigated the types and frequencies of student-student questioning (SSQ) in a small group activities, 5 in one group or 2 in one group, during school experiments. Five girls of seventh grade were observed during school experiments and interviewed afterward. Between students, information-type questions were asked more frequently than thought-type questions. Most of the information-type questions were procedural ones and most of the thought-type questions were comprehension ones. However, thought-type questions did not make further discussion in the activities. The rate of answers in the case of 2 in one group was higher than that of 5 in one group. Moreover, the similar tendency was found when we investigated the rate of helpful question-answers. In a pair, lower achiever usually asked questions, not answered as much as in 5 in one group, and higher achiever answered. The frequency of SSQ in a pair was relatively low when there was a big difference of science achievements between pair members. In conclusion, information-type questions were asked more frequently than thought-type questions during school experiments and the rate of helpful question-answers was higher when group members was fewer.

Now, the Korean footwear industry needs the concrete enhancement of its competitive edge for regaining of its previous well known reputation. For this purpose, this study emphasizes the cooperation between the members through the supply chain of Korean footwear industry, as a c-SCM(Collaborative Supply Chain Management) by aid of information system. The key issue will be how well to coordinate operations flow not only through internal process stages, but also through entire external supply chain stages. In other words, the target goal must be the system optimization through the entire supply chain beyond the local optimization of internal supply chain process. We, at first, analyze the traditional structure of supply chain in Korean footwear industry and find out critical problems, and then, we develop the collaborative information framework in conjunction with several collaborative process modules. The suggested collaborative production & supply planning system was designed for sharing information and it is based on ebXML(electronic business eXtensible Markup Language) framework. In this way, the enhancement of the efficiency and competitiveness can be expected through the synergy effect of coordination of information and material flow, the reduction of lead times, and production costs.

Recently, the emphasis on self-directed learning and lifelong education is increasing the importance of school libraries in the curriculum. Accordingly, various studies have been conducted mainly from a structural, institutional and operational point of view. However, more research is necessary on the micro topics such as school library users' autonomous intrinsic motivations in the sense that school libraries play key roles in autonomy-based self-directed education. This study aims at finding out what types of school library use motivations are more important and the degree to which the use motivations affect the school library service quality based on the self-determination theory. In addition, this study examines how the use motivations and the perceived service quality vary depending on the school grade of the library users. Based on a focus-group-interview pilot study, a questionnaire survey was administered on the effects of school library motivations on perceived library service quality to 588 students from 5 high schools and 2 middle schools in Seoul. When the service quality and its components, service affect, information control, and library as place were set as dependent variables, in all these four cases, intrinsic motivations were more significant than extrinsic motivations. In addition, when middle school students and high school students were selected as separate analysis target groups, the results of both analyses show that the higher the intrinsic motivations were, the higher the perceived service quality was. The contribution of this study is that it applies the self-determination theory to school library service, measures the influence of motivation type based on the theoretical basis, and focuses on micro aspects to improve school library services.

This research verified the mediated effect between the level of satisfactory from extracurricular activities and the influence of perfectionism on self efficacy of career decisions. In order to test the theory, a total of 271 students were surveyed from Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, and Chungcheongnam-do. SPSS 21.0 was utilized to study the frequency analysis and technical statistics and a correlation analysis was performed to understand the relationship between major factors. Also, to test the mediated effect we used a recurrent analysis to perform a career analysis. The first result showed adoptable perfectionism affecting the students self efficacy in deciding a career by collecting information on jobs, setting a goal, planning and solving problems. Second, perfectionism influenced the satisfactory level of extracurricular activities. Third, the satisfaction of extracurricular activities acted as a partially mediated effect between the relationship of perfectionism and students self efficacy in deciding their career by collecting information on jobs, setting a goal, planning and solving problems. Therefore, this study indicates to be used as founding material and theoretical implications in order to develop programs to improve self efficacy in career choices for students.

The purpose of this study is to apply the concepts discussed in the previous studies on the China's country image and its impact to the Korean market, to provide basic information about the characteristics of the Korean market for Chinese companies to enter the Korean market, and to provide suggestions related to the country image for Korean companies when they want to enter foreign markets. For this purpose, a survey of 265 college students and workers in Seoul was analyzed using SPSS 2.0 and AMOS 21. The results are as follows. First, the dimensions of China's country image were found to be composed of five factors: fundamental image, socioeconomic image, prestige image, relationships image, and affective image. Second, among the dimensions of China's country image, fundamental image, socioeconomic image, and affective image had a positive effect on product image, and prestige image had a negative effect. Third, affective image was found to have influence on the attitude towards the product. Fourth, China's overall product images appeared to influence consumer attitudes. Fifth, the consumer attitudes to Chinese products appeared to affect the purchase intention. Sixth, for the consumer group whose own consumer ethnocentrism is low, compared to high, images of Chinese products showed a more positive impact on consumer attitudes. In the conclusion, we discussed the implications derived from the empirical results and suggested for future research.

The present study was carried out with a view to examine the protective actions of physical and occupational therapists for patients's privacy. For this purpose, a survey was conducted with the questionnaires that were distributed to 297 physical and occupational therapists engaged in general hospitals as well as in rehabilitation clinics across the country from January 2 to 13, 2012. From the survey, it was made known that the overall extent of protective actions practiced by them was $3.54{\pm}.733$ in average. Divided by area, the average protective action in communication was $3.62{\pm}.776$, followed by $3.57{\pm}1.013$ in direct contact and $3.53{\pm}.780$ in maintenance and management, respectively. The analysis of general characteristics by each area showed that the older their age gets and the longer their career is, the more the protective action is practiced by them. Although they are well aware of the fact that the medical information of patients should be kept 100% secret and they practice it to almost excellent grade (5), the physical and occupational therapists, as key experts in charge of improving functions of patients, were found to have little concern for and little knowledge about contents of protecting medical information. It is thus required to perform public relation and instruction continuously to intensify their awareness of needs to protect patients' privacy and to implant ethical sense in this regard deep in their mind.

Consumers currently show cross-channel shopping behavior between the Internet and store-based retail types when searching information and purchasing sensory products such as fashion items to reduce risks. As consumers compare both types of stores before making a purchase decision, the Internet retail type and store-based retail type started conflicting/competing each other as the combined retail evolution theory proposed(Kim & Kincade, 2006). The purpose of this study is to examine consumers' cross-channel shopping behavior between the Internet and store-based retail types and their importance and satisfaction with information provided by the Internet retail stores. This study employs a quantitative research method using a survey. Demographics, types of stores used for purchase, satisfaction with the type of stores, Internet shopping behavior, importance and satisfaction with product information in the Internet retail stores were asked. MANOVA and descriptive statistics were used to test hypotheses. The result shows that a majority of participants(36.2%) shows cross-channel shopping behavior between the two retail types. Also, most participants(72.4%) decide on their purchase and are satisfied only after cross-channel shopping between the two retail types. Participants were grouped based on their information search and purchase behavior. Significant differences among the groups were found in importance and satisfaction with product information provided by the Internet stores. In measuring participants' satisfaction, a majority of participants(42.1%) showed satisfaction with their purchase at store-based retail stores after information search via the internet, followed by the satisfaction with the purchase at the internet retail stores after information search at store-based retail stores(30.3%). Fifty one point nine percent of participants search information via the internet(vs.48% at store-based retail stores), and they especially look for fiber contents and design details with pictures(37.4%). The satisfaction with price information provided by the Internet retail stores is the highest (m=3.70 out of 5.0) among fashion product information followed by design information(m=3.48). On the other hand, size information, refund/exchange and fiber content information received low satisfaction scores(m=2.81, 2.71, 2.57 in turn). This research suggests the Internet retail stores should provide more variety of information in detail using technology and improving customer services. This study could provide the Internet retail stores a guideline to establish a satisfactory information delivery system.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term drought outlook information based on long-term forecast data for the 2015 drought event. In order to estimate the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) for different durations (3-, 6-, 9-, 12-months), we used the observation precipitation of 59 Automated Synoptic Observing System (ASOS) sites, forecast and hindcast data of GloSea5. The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis and statistical analysis (Correlation Coefficient, CC; Root Mean Square Error, RMSE) were used to evaluate the utilization of drought outlook information for the forecast lead-times (1~6months). As a result of ROC analysis, ROC scores of SPI(3), SPI(6), SPI(9) and SPI(12) were estimated to be over 0.70 until the 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-months. The CC and RMSE values of SPI(3), SPI(6), SPI(9) and SPI(12) for forecast lead-time were estimated as (0.60, 0.87), (0.72, 0.95), (0.75, 0.95) and (0.77, 0.89) until the 2-, 4-, 5- and 6-months respectively.

The purpose of this study is to explore how to use location data for peer relations of infants in free-choice play activities. For this study, location data was collected using wearable devices for 14 students in one class at an early childhood education institution in Chungnam. For the pre-processing of the collected location data, a smoothing technique was applied to recover missing values during the collection process, and the data was visualized using Python's Matplotlib. Subsequently, the movement distance, distance between infants, and interaction types of infants were extracted from the location data using the formula. As a result of the study, it was possible to derive 1) change in moving distance, cumulative value, average value, 2) change in distance and average distance value between infants, and 3) change and trend in interaction type according to the passage of time. These results can provide valuable information on the process of forming peer groups for infants in situations where it is difficult for a teacher to closely observe all members, and can be used as meaningful information for the design and operation of educational programs.

우리나라의 주력산업인 반도체 및 디스플레이의 경우 그 생산 설비의 1/3이상이 진공 장비이며 진공 공정을 통해 만들어진다. 이들 산업 분야에서는 우리나라가 세계 최고의 생산 기술을 가지고 있으므로 자체적인 기술 개발 확보가 중요하다. 최근에는 기존에 개발되어 있는 장비의 성능을 뛰어넘어야 하는 공정 기술력이 요구되면서, 진공 공정 기술 개발이 매우 중요한 이슈가 되었다. 반도체나 디스플레이 산업 등 기존 주력산업의 전후방 산업의 경쟁력 강화 측면에서뿐 아니라 태양전지, LED 등 진공기술을 이용한 신성장 동력 산업의 생산 시스템 경쟁력 확보 측면에서도 진공 공정 기술 개발 중요성은 매우 크다. 지금까지 양산에 적용되는 증착, 식각, 확산 등 진공 공정 운영은, 사전 시험을 통해 얻은 최적 공정의 입력 파라미터들을 정해 놓고 그대로 공정을 진행한 뒤, 생산되어 나오는 제품의 상태를 사후 측정하여 공정 이상 여부를 점검하고 미세 조정하는 형태로 진행되고 있다. 실질적으로 현재 진행 중인 진공 공정에 대한 직접적인 정보가 없으므로 공정 중 발생되는 문제들에 대한 대처는 그 공정이 끝난 후에 이루어지는 상황이다. 공정 미세화 및 대구경화에 따라 기존의 wafer to wafer 제어 개념 보다 발전된 개념으로 센서 기반 실시간 공정 진단 제어 기술의 필요성이 대두되었으며 이를 위한 오류 인식 및 예지기술 (Fault Detection & Classification, FDC) 그리고 이 정보를 이용한 첨단 제어 기술(Advanced Process Control, APC)을 개발하는 노력들이 시작되었다. 한국표준과학연구원에서는 수요기업인 대기업과 장비업체, 센서 개발 중소기업 및 학교 연구소와 공동으로 진공 공정 실시간 측정 진단 제어와 관련된 연구를 하고 있다. 진공 공정 환경측정 기술, 플라즈마 상태 측정 기술, 진공 공정 중 발생하는 오염입자 측정 원천 기술 개발과 이를 구현하기 위한 센서 개발, 화학 증착 소스 및 진공 공정 부품용 소재에 대한 평가 플랫폼 구축, 배기 시스템 진단기술 개발 등 현재 진행되고 있는 기술 개발 내용과 동향을 소개한다. 진공 공정 실시간 측정 기술이 확보되면 차세대 반도체 제작에 필요한 정밀 공정 제어가 가능해지고, 공정 이상에 바로 대응 혹은 예방 할 수 있으며, 여유분으로 필요 이상으로 투입되던 자원(대기시간, 투입 재료, 대체용 장비)을 절감하는 등 생산성을 향상을 기대할 수 있다. 또한 진공 환경에서 이루어지는 박막 증착, 식각 공정 과정에 대한 이해가 높아지고, 공정을 개발하고 최적화하는데 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있으므로, 기존 장비와 차별화된 경쟁력을 가진 고품위 진공 장비 및 부품 개발에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대하고 있다.
