This paper describes the development of a system and algorithms for high-quality welfare services by recognizing behavior development indicators (activity, sociability, danger) in children aged 0 to 2 years old using action recognition technology. Action recognition targeted 11 behaviors from lying down in 0-year-olds to jumping in 2-year-olds, using data directly obtained from actual videos provided for research purposes by three nurseries in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions. A dataset of 1,867 actions from 425 clip videos was built for these 11 behaviors, achieving an average recognition accuracy of 97.4%. Additionally, for real-world application, the Edge Video Analyzer (EVA), a behavior analysis device, was developed and implemented with a region-specific random frame selection-based PoseC3D algorithm, capable of recognizing actions in real-time for up to 30 people in four-channel videos. The developed system was installed in three nurseries, tested by ten childcare teachers over a month, and evaluated through surveys, resulting in a perceived accuracy of 91 points and a service satisfaction score of 94 points.

정보생산을 촉진하는 새로운 형태의 사이버공간이 나타나면서 지식의 창출과 지식을 얻는 형태가 변화하고 있다. 최종사용자에게 웹 애플리케이션을 제공하는 컴퓨팅 플랫폼인 web 2.0의 도입으로 손쉽게 자신이 필요한 정보를 분류할 수 있는 웹 컨텐츠가 활발히 제공되고 있으며 제공된 컨텐츠를 활용하여 수많은 정보 속에서 자신만의 보석을 찾아 손쉽게 지식을 쌓아 관리를 하고 있다. 이러한 지식공유서비스는 무분별한 정보, 중복된 지식, 그리고 단순한 관리로 인해 자신이 원하는 지식을 얻기란 쉽지 않은 것이 사실이다. 본 논문에서는 온라인상의 정보를 탐색하기 위해서 인터넷을 이용하던 네티즌들이 정보생산자로서 참여하는 공간으로 등장한 '지식공유서비스'를 기반으로 지식 창출 및 관리자로서 시니어를 활용하여 지식의 수용자로서 유아들을 위한 NIE (News In Education) 활용 교육 체계를 제안한다. 뉴스는 유아부터 성인까지 활용될 수 있는 좋은 교육 자료로서 NIE를 통하여 사고력, 논리력, 표현력, 창의력 등 여러 영역에 걸친 능력을 향상시킬 수 있다. 특히 유치원이나 학교의 교과과정에 맞추어 이러한 능력들을 더욱 배가 시킬 수 있다는 점에서 NIE가 더욱 각광받고 있다. 본 연구는 미디어 융합의 결과로 인터넷 뉴스를 활용해 생활과 분리되지 않은 통합교육을 할 수 있는 SCORM 기반의 유아용 콘텐츠를 생성하여 유아 교육에 활용하고자 한다. 또한, 유아용 NIE 교육 콘텐츠는 시니어들을 NIE 강사로 양성하였을 때 학습 자료로도 활용된다. 시니어들을 NIE 강사로 양성함으로써 시니어의 일자리 창출 및 지역사회 통합과 1세대인 여성시니어와 3세대인 아동 간의 세대통합을 이끌어 낼 수 있도록 하는 것에 목적을 두고 시니어 NIE 콘텐츠를 생성하고자 한다. NIE에 생성되는 지식을 생성하고 관리하기 위한 지식 솔루션으로 위키의 기능을 추가하여 개발하고자 한다. 위키를 사용하므로 개별적으로 존재하던 지식을 공동의 지식으로 공유할 수 있으며 의견을 하나로 통합하는 과정에서도 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다. 위키를 이용한 시니어 NIE 콘텐츠에서는 교수 학습 계획안 및 NIE 아이디어를 공동 작업을 통하여 효율적으로 지식을 생성할 수 있으며 여러 사람들이 여러 단계를 거치면서 하나의 정제된 지식을 생성하게 되므로 양질의 교수 학습 계획안이나 NIE 아이디어를 창출할 수 있을 것이다.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects on sensory integration interventions for korean children which focused on vestibular - proprioceptive system. Methods : Authors systematically searched published studies in DBpia, KISS and RISS databases from August to September 2015. Key words in the search were 'sensory integration intervention', 'sensory integration therapy' and 'vestibular-proprioceptive'. By using the inclusion and exclusion criteria, we selected seven studies for further analyses examining level of evidence and methodological qualities. Information for the analyses were on study designs, participants, interventions, outcome measures and results. Results : Grade IV rated evidence was found from five studies, and Grade III and Grade V rated evidence was found from one for each study. The methodological levels of the quantitative studies were 'fair' (2) and 'poor' (5). Subjects for the studies were developmental delay (5), Asperger Syndrome (1), and not specific diagnosis (2). Single-subject design was most frequently used and motor area were most frequently evaluated. The interventions used the studies showed positive effects on outcome measures. Conclusion : This study presented the summary of sensory integration intervention based on vestibular-proprioceptive system for Korean children. More studies with high level of evidence and various study designs need to be followed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the existing augmented reality (AR) contents in education and to develop digital AR contents to promote the learning outcomes in nursing skills education. AR contents has been widely used in education such as children's books, coloring, or exhibition experiences, but rarely developed in nursing education. We wanted to develop AR contents on nursing skills which required memorization of complex contents. In order to improve nursing students' memorization skills, we developed AR techniques holding and executing cameras along with game elements of time and points. In order to give the effect of placing objects in front of the user's eyes, an augmented reality camera was applied, and a total of 40 levels were created to produce the sequence of nursing techniques. This study showed that learning contents in the medical field requiring expertise could be implemented as AR contents. The content developed in this study will be used as a learning aid for nursing students.

The current generation of adolescents stands out as the most digitally interconnected in the annals of history, navigating an era characterized by unprecedented levels of technological connectivity. This study explored the impact of smartphone addiction on the quality of peer relationships among adolescents, with a focus on the mediating role of depression. Analyzing data from 2,288 responses of 14-year-old adolescents extracted from the 2022 cross-sectional data of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey 2018, research questions were tested. The findings showed that smartphone addiction among adolescents exacerbates depression, consequently leading to a deterioration in the quality of peer relationships. The results contribute to expanding scholarly understanding of the intersection between digital technology and the mental and social well-being of adolescents. Furthermore, there is a call to action for parents, teachers, counselors, policy maker, and practitioner in education institutions to establish programs that monitor and intervene in cases of excessive smartphone use among adolescents.

The purpose of this study is to examine the environmental factors influencing the multicultural acceptability of adolescents, and to improve the multicultural acceptability of adolescents. This study seek to confirm family environmental factors, school environmental factors, community environmental factors on the multicultural acceptability of adolescents, and provide an alternative to increase the multicultural acceptability of adolescents. This study used data from the first grade of middle school in the Korean child and youth panel data, and a total of 2,278 data were used for analysis. The analysis was done by multiple regression analysis through SPSS 18.0. The results were as follows: the environmental factors shown to significantly affect the multicultural acceptability of adolescents were school factors, such as school adaptation, and community factors, such as community awareness and community consciousness. As a result, it was found that school adaptation, school environment factors, community awareness and community consciousness affect the multicultural acceptability of adolescents. These results suggest that the role of school environment and community environment is important for enhancing the multicultural acceptability of adolescents. In the school environment, various education and programs should be prepared, and in the community environment, it is necessary to strengthen the role of the community and community consciousness.
