In this Information Age, the needs for the performance evaluation is raising to increase the higher-thought ability for creativity and problem-solving, to improve the quality of the teaching-learning process. However, it is very difficult to carry out the authentic performance evaluation in our educational environment. Therefore, we design and implement the Performance Evaluation Processing System as one of the learning-teaching processes. We study the theoretical base of evaluation types and of learning-teaching methods, and inquire appropriate performance evaluation methods. Among the methods, we focus on the Report, a type of performance evaluation using the most widely in the Society. We constitute a basic form and design the evaluation system of the Report. The evaluation system consist of the teacher's module and the learner's module. Teachers make the form of report, provide it for learners and evaluate the report on teacher's module, Learners make out the report, submit it to the teacher and use it for presentation in class, on learner's module, The teacher and learner can apply this system as follows. The teacher can use the report that have been already made, or that make for themselves as a step for evaluation and they can evaluate learners by the submitted report. The learner not only can see their own result of evaluation but also can use ICT at their presentation.

Using the 3rd to the 6th wave data from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey(KCYPS), we examined the effects of academic characteristics and social relations on the trajectories of the life satisfaction among adolescents. OLS results showed that male students were more satisfied with their lives than female students in the 3rd grade of middle school. As academic characteristics, academic achievement and the level of class adjustment improved life satisfaction but the amount of learning time spent had a negative effect on life satisfaction. However, the effect of academic achievement lost its statistical significance after including variables of social relations. Relationships with parents, teachers, and friends had positive effects on life satisfaction. The longitudinal analysis using the fixed effect estimation also showed a similar result of the associations among the variables to that in the OLS analysis. The life satisfaction gap between male and female students narrowed over time from the 3rd grade of middle school to the 2nd grade of high school. The effects of relationships with parents and friends showed significant effects on both female and male students, but the relationship with their teachers was significant only for female students. Based on the results, we discussed the issues of Korean education related to the life satisfaction among adolescents.

Despite the importance of the program development activities and the necessity of the systematical investigation on the features of the program development activities in the social service agencies, it has been observed that recent social work studies have ignored an important study area of program development, including the activities of collecting data in the process of program development in social service agencies. Therefore, this study was undertaken to investigate salient features of the activities of collecting data for program development in the social welfare centers in Korea. A questionnaire was constructed with three parts, including a dependent variable and 6 independent variables, and 201 questionnaires were collected from 353 agencies during two months. As the result of the descriptive analyses, the five noticeable features were found, (1) the activities of collecting data for program development in the agencies are very active; (2) staff in his/her twenties are in charge of program development; (3) diverse data are collected in the process of program development (4) hard data are more collected than soft data in the process of program development; (5) the respondents are more despondent on knowledge learned from individual studies than knowledge learned from academic institutes. Multiple regressions were applied to analyze the relationship between independent variables and three kind of dependent variables - total feature of data collecting, collecting hard data, collecting soft data. The result showed that the total feature of data collecting was critically influenced by social workers' autonomy, openness, and knowledge learned from academic institutes, and workload. The activities of collecting hard data was influenced by the above variables, except social workers' workload, The activities of collecting soft data were influenced by the social workers' autonomy, openness, and knowledge learned from academic institutes, and workload. Major findings were discussed and several suggestions were made for future research and improvement of the program development in social welfare centers.

The purpose of this study was to provide information on adoptive families and obtain the basis data for adoption-related programs that are useful to adoptive families by examining their experiences in the adoption process, post-adoption adaptation, and adoption programs. For the study, in-depth interviews were conducted on six mothers who publicly adopted elementary school children and had expressed high satisfaction with adopted families and their willingness to participate in this research voluntarily. The main results exhibited parents' happiness post-adoption along with positive changes, such as internal growth, marital love growth, favorable response from others, and child's unexpected responses to adoption. However, open adoption mothers have coped with efforts to sympathize with and accept their children's feelings as they suffer from adoption, and with active support from their spouses, parents, and their own children. Open adoption mothers participated in various adoption-related programs, support, and voluntary self-help groups provided by adoption agencies or public organizations, and above all, their experience in self-help groups and peer groups of adopted children was found to be very useful. Based on these main results, we suggested strengthening welfare services for open adoption families, implementing education to better understand adoption, education for school teachers, students, and welfare staff, providing practical programs for adoptive families, and promoting self-help groups.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of youth activities on adolescents' sense of community using "Korean Children & Youth Panel Study" data collected by the National Youth Policy Institute. Especially, this study tried to reflect various aspects of youth activities, such as participation in activities, number of types of activities, and satisfaction with activities. Also, this study paid particular attention to examining the cumulative effect of youth activities. The main results are as follows. First, the participation of youth activities, the satisfaction level of experiential activities, and the number of kinds of experiential activities varied according to income level and regional scale. Next, the results of the OLS regression analysis on adolescents' sense of community show that participation in youth activities, number of kinds of activities that participated in, and satisfaction with activities during the first-year of high-school all influence adolescents' sense of community. On the other hand, the results of analysis of the effects of cumulative experience during middle school during middle school shows that it is difficult to ensure long-term effects by only participating in youth activities. Positive effects persisted only when adolescents participated in high quality youth activities during middle school. The results of this study show that the qualitative aspects of youth activities are important for sustaining the effectiveness of youth activities.

The research was performed responding to the growing needs of Korean foster care programs. It deals specifically with the people who voluntarily provide foster care despite the lack of Government support. The research has also made an effort to understand how the foster parents perceive their parent roles for the foster children. According to the research results based on the parents from the H foster care center, it showed that foster parents generally come from higher educational backgrounds compared to their equivalent age group and also similar or even higher income levels than the average family residing in an urban area. Conclusively, their traits in socio-demographic factors is said to be homogeneous. The research also focused on examining the role perceptions of Korean foster parents. The foster parents were well aware and educated on the significance of the children's psychological adjustments. However, the research recognized some role responsibilities that the parents failed to understand. Hopefully the foster care centers will take on such responsibilities and contribute in helping the parents realize their insufficiencies. Based on the results of the research, the researcher was able to recognize the important issues involved in the recruitment, selection, and education process for the foster parents. Additionally, new role adjustments are necessary among both foster parents and foster centers.
