In this study, the contexts and values of the movement called 'Science and Citizenship' during the 1930-50s are discussed in relation to the historical development of school science education in Britain and to the current STS movement in school science. A special attention is given to the activities and ideas of a then eminent biologist, Lancelot Hogben(1895-1975) who published a textbook-like science book, called "Science for the Citizen"(1938). From the beginning of the 20th century, there was a growing realization that British education system needed to be changed in order to provide school science teaching to a wider audience with more emphasis on the relevance, industrial and humanistic aspects of science. This was echoed by a lecture series called 'Science and Citizenship' which was reported in the School Science Review, then the only nationwide professional journal for science educators and by a group of professional scientists who had socialist ideas toward society. Hogben was one of the key member of the group and delivered the second lecture of 'Science and Citizenship', titled "Biological Instruction and education for Citizenship". Hogben's main idea, illustrated in this lecture as well as in "Science for the Citizen", was that science education should be a way of teaching citizen for promoting democratic society and to achieve that science need to be taught in more integrated, utilitarian and humanistic manners, for example by showing the usefulness, relevance, historical and democratic aspects of science. In addition, a summary of his own life and activities, the social background and socialist scientists of the time, and comparisons between 'Science and Citizenship' movement and the General Science movement in the UK as well as the progressive science education in the USA, and the STS education movement in 1980s are discussed.

경제적 발달과 사회적 성장으로 인한 도심지 하천과 호소와 같은 수변공간의 개발에 대한 시민의 요구는 다양화되고 높은 수준의 요구가 증가하고 있다. 도심의 수변공간은 도시내 다양한 사회생활과 사람간의 교류가 이루어지는 활동적인 공간이자. 정적이기도 한 다양한 기능을 가진 공간이다. 이러한 도시내 수변공간은 공간은 도시를 관류하는 하천을 중심으로 시민들의 일상적인 휴식과 산책, 여가 생활을 할 수 있는 공간으로 개발되어 왔다. 그러나 전국 주요 도시의 하천들이 수변개발을 통해 동일한 시설과 콘텐츠를 적용함으로써 하천의 다양성이 부족하였다. 수변공간의 개발은 1990년대 이후 도심하천중심의 조경하천으로 개발이 진행되었으며 수변공간 주변에 주거지역이나 상업지역이 들어서면서 기존의 도심 공간에 수변공간이 개발되어 시민의 접근성을 높이고자 하였다. 그러나 개발된 수변공간은 최근의 수변공간 개발은 시민들이 즐겁고 편안하게 즐길 수 있는 공간을 제공하고 지역의 특성을 살리는 방향으로 추진되고 있다. 현재까지 개발된 수변공간은 접근성과 공공성의 결여 주변여건과의 부조화 등이 문제점으로 제시되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 많은 수변공간에서 관광, 축제, 일상휴식, 레저 등 다양한 목적과 기능으로 시민들이 활용하고 있다. 본 연구는 수변공간 개발을 위해 선행연구를 조사하여 문제점과 수변개발의 특성, 유형 등을 분류한 후 수변공간 개발 시 고려사항과 평가사항을 제시하였다.

지역사회경찰활동은 범죄와 무질서, 그리고 범죄에 대한 두려움을 줄이고자 고안되었고, 또한 지역사회의 명백한 요구와 수요를 충족시키기 위해 나타나게 된 하나의 철학이며, 전술이 아니라고 할 수 있다. 지역사회 경찰활동의 기본적 목표를 단순한 범죄의 사후적 통제로부터 더 나아가 범죄예방, 범죄에 대한 시민의 두려움 감소, 공공서비스 강화를 통한 시민생활의 향상으로 확대하여 사전적 예방에 중점을 두고 있다. 우리경찰에서는 현재 지역사회 경찰활동에 관한 여러 가지 정책을 시행해오고 있으며, 이러한 지역 사회경찰활동과 더불어 조현오 경찰청장의 경찰성과주의는 2010년 6월 이후 커다란 이슈가 되어 현재 경찰조직에서 사용되는 평가의 척도로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 사후적 대처의 성격이 강한 경찰성과주의와 사전적 예방활동의 성격이 강한 지역사회경찰 활동의 주된 내용을 살펴보고, 두 정책의 괴리현상에 대한 문제점을 살펴보도록 한다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of ill-structured problem solving program on the social self-efficacy, democratic citizenship, and meta-cognition of the scientifically gifted high school students and provide an opportunity to consider how to improve students' social self-efficacy, democratic citizenship, and meta-cognition when comprehensive character education has been emphasized in science programs for gifted students. The subjects consisted of 17 students(10th graders) and 19 students(11th graders) who were participated in a science gifted program in a Korean high school located in Seoul and pre-examination on their social self-efficacy, democratic citizenship, and meta-cognition was conducted. After applying 12-class-time of ill-structured problem solving program, post-examination on their social self-efficacy, democratic citizenship, and meta-cognition was conducted and student's self-essay about program was also conducted. Paired t-test was used to analyze the data collected and students's self-essays were also analyzed. The results of this study were as follows: First, the findings showed that ill-structured problem solving program developed students' social self-efficacy and especially showed a significant improvement in asking for help. Second, they also showed that ill-structured problem solving program raised students' democratic participation especially in a democratic function. Third, in terms of meta-cognition, ill-structured problem solving program also played a positive role. The result of analyzing students' essays also showed students' positive perception on the program. The findings of the present study suggested that ill-structured problem solving program should be taken into consideration when developing a science program for scientifically gifted high school students.

This study aimed to analyze the relative influence of related variables on the university students' civic consciousness. The study sorted out the data for 1,200 university students from a larger data set collected by Son et al.(2009), and analyzed the data by a hierarchical regression analysis method. The study showed the major results in four aspects. First, personal characteristics and home environment variables had mostly no influence on the students' civic consciousness. Second, on the sub categories of the students' civic consciousness, almost no influence was found in case of the home environment variables on democratic constitution and participation-practice, and in case of the school environment variables on value and attitude. Third, among the home and school variables, parents' attitude(${\beta}$=.228) and professors(${\beta}$=.162) had positive influences on the students' civic consciousness. The results suggest that parents and professors should be the two principal axises in the cultivating process of the students' civic consciousness. Third, on the democratic participation and practice no positive influences were found in any of the social environment variables. Among the social environment variables, politicians(${\beta}$=-.238) and corporations(${\beta}$=-.097) had rather negative influences on the democratic participation and practice. These results raised the question on how school education and social political systems are operated in the democratic manners. Fourth, the study recommends that local government would establish the civic education centers, develop various civic education programs, and provide each school with the programs. The study also recommends that each university would democratize in all the school affairs, and actively implement the civic education for university students as a specialized project.

The study aims to analyze the factors affecting citizens' willingness to cooperate in police activities and to verify the intermediation effects of citizens' trust in police in these relationships. In order to achieve the purpose of such research, we selected factors that are expected to affect cooperation in police activities and police confidence by conducting a survey of 502 adult men and women living in Seoul and utilized them for analysis. The results from the analysis are summarized as follows. First, procedural fairness was confirmed as an influence factor on the cooperative history of police activities. In other words, it is necessary to have police activities conducted more fairly and citizens recognize them in order to induce cooperation from citizens, as the fairer police activities are shown to increase the willingness of citizens to cooperate. Second, it was confirmed that the level of citizen awareness of patrol activities and level of disorder in the community affected cooperation in police activities through the medium of police trust. It can be said that the more positively citizens evaluate police patrol activities, the more police confidence increases and this trust leads to citizens' cooperation in police activities. In addition, as the disorderly environment in the community improves, citizens' trust in the police increases, leading to civic cooperation in police activities. Based on this, the police trust was able to confirm that it had a fully operational effect. Third, if the procedural fairness of police activities increases, citizens trust the police, and this police trust leads to cooperation in police activities. In addition, it was found that procedural fairness had a direct impact on citizens' cooperation in police activities, so it was able to confirm that there was a partial selling effect.

This paper aims at investigating voluntary user participation such as user citizenship behavior and aberrant user behavior in the SNS context. Also it examines on how user participation behavior affects social connectedness, privacy concern, and user satisfaction. The empirical assessment of the research model was conducted using a total of 143 responses. The findings show that user citizenship behavior impacts on social connectedness positively and significantly whereas aberrant user behavior does not influence on social connectedness. Aberrant user behavior is proven not to be related to social connectedness, and to has positive relationship with concern for privacy invasion. Also, the results show that privacy concern is not associated with social connectedness. Finally, social connectedness is shown to be a key determinant of SNS user satisfaction whereas privacy concern is not related to user satisfaction.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of altruism and social trust on giving behavior for COVID-19 among citizens and the differences by gender and age. To this end, this study conducted analyses with a sample of 2,006 regular citizens from the Giving Korea 2020 survey constructed by the Beautiful Foundation. The main analysed results are as follows. First, citizens' altruism and social trust significantly positively influenced giving behavior for COVID-19. Specifically, when altruism increased by one level, the likelihood of giving participation increased about 3.00 times and the likelihood of giving intention increased about 3.60 times. Second, the influences of citizens' altruism and social trust on giving behavior for COVID-19 were moderated by gender and age. Whereas the influence of altruism on giving participation was more pronounced for women, the influence of altruism on giving intention was more pronounced for young citizens. Also, the influence of social trust on giving intention was more pronounced for young citizens. Based on the results, this study discussed strategies for citizens' giving behavior to overcome a disaster like COVID-19.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of altruism and the civil right consciousness on the ageism against older people. Using data of 1,513 persons over 18 years old from the Korean General Social Survey(KGSS)(2011), this study applied descriptive analyses, t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis and multi-regression with STATA14. According to results, the degree of ageism was slightly lower(2.43 out of 5). Compared to age groups, the results were followed: elderly, middle age, and young age group. Among them, the ageism level of the group to have experiences of discrimination was higher than one of the group not to have it. The degree of altruism was high(3.95 out of 5), followed by elderly, middle age, and young age group. The group experienced in discrimination had higher level of altruism than another. The degree of the civil right consciousness was high(5.83 out of 7) without differences among age groups. In the results of regression analysis, the ageism was negatively affected by altruism and the civil right consciousness. Based on the results, this study suggested practical and political opinions for reducing ageism.
