To offer insights in organizing professional development programs to promote teachers' substantial ongoing learning, this paper provides an overview of situative perspectives in terms of cognition as situated, cognition as social, and cognition as distributed. Then, it describes research findings on how mathematics teachers can enhance their knowledge and thus improve their instructional practices through participation in a professional development program that mainly provides opportunities to learn and analyze students' mathematical thinking and to perform mathematical tasks through which they interpret the understanding of students' mathematical thinking. Further, it shows that a knowledge of students' mathematical thinking is a powerful tool for teacher learning. In addition, it suggests that teacher-researcher and teacher-teacher collaborative activities influence considerably teachers' understanding and practice as such collaborations help teachers understand new ideas of teaching and develop innovative instructional practices.

This study aims to examine how the specialty of librarians links between users' library experience and their resulting perception of the library in public libraries. After reviewing theoretical background studies, a questionnaire survey was conducted at six public libraries in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. The analysis of the survey results showed that the perception of librarians' specialty had a mediation effect on the relationship between cultural, educational activity and library perception. However, information activity was not linked by the perception of librarians' specialty and only directly influenced on the library perception. Accordingly, the result raised a question of a discrepancy between the areas where the users gain the value of the library and where the librarians' specialty is perceived and some implications were suggested. This research is meaningful in integrating the users' library experience, librarians' specialty, and the library performance by external point of view on the specialty, traditionally regarded as an internal characteristic of the librarianship.

In this study we postulated that the trust plays an essential mediating role in the relationship between the corporate social responsibility activities and corporate evaluation and product evaluation. In addition, we examined the perception difference to the Korean-Chinese consumers in these relations. A model integrating four types of CSR activities(economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic), three dimensions of trust(integrity trust, expertise trust, social benevolence trust), and the corporate evaluation, product evaluation was tested using data of 400 consumers. The results of the data analysis showed that the economic responsibility and ethical responsibility had a significant influence on the integrity trust, expertise trust and benevolence trust in the case of the Korean consumers. But, in the Chinese consumers, the economic responsibility positively influenced on the expertise trust and benevolence trust. The legal esponsibility had a significant impact on the integrity trust and benevolence trust in the case of both Korean consumers and Chinese consumers. Also, ethical responsibility positively influenced on the integrity trust and benevolence trust in the case of Chinese consumers. Finally, philanthropic responsibility had not significant influence on the expertise trust in case of both Korean consumers and Chinese consumers. The results of this study will help corporations to understand the relative importance among the four responsibilities and to make decisions in allocating their resources.

Different from the past studies, in this study we postulates that the consumers' trust play an essential mediating role in the relationship between the two dimensions (eco-friendly manufacturing, eco-friendly campaign) of corporate environmental responsibility activities and the corporate image. Trust is conceptualized into three different forms: expertise-based trust, benevolence-based trust, and honesty-based trust. A model integrating two dimensions of corporate environmental responsibility, three forms of trust, and the corporate image is tested using data of 374 student and general consumers. The results of data analysis show that the eco-friendly manufacturing positively influences on the expert-based trust and the eco-friendly campaign positively influences on the benevolence-based trust. The Effects of Corporate Environmental Responsibility Activities on Corporate Image: Focusing on Dimension of Environmental Responsibility. However, eco-friendly manufacturing, eco-friendly campaign activities have a significant impact not on the honesty-based trust. Finally, our results indicate that the expert-based trust, the benevolence-based trust, and honesty-based trust have a significant influence on the corporate image. Thus, this study demonstrates that trust indeed plays a mediating role between corporate environmental responsibility and the corporate image.

소상공업은 서민 경제의 근간을 이루는 중요한 부분으로서, 일반 대중과 가까이에 있으며 경제 환경에 가장 민감하게 반응한다. 또한 수적인 측면과 고용창출의 측면에서 대기업 혹은 중소기업만큼 우리 경제에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 그러나 국내 소상공인의 창업과 폐업현황을 살펴보면, 전체 창업률은 2.1%, 폐업률은 2.5%, 음식점 업종의 창업률은 2.8% 페업률은 3.1%로 조사되었다. 음식점 업종은 소상고인 폐업률이 가장 높은 업종이며, 음식점 중에서도 커피전문점은 창업률 3.2% 폐업률 4.5%로 창업과 페업이 빈번하게 반복되는 취약한 구조를 보인다. 이는 진입장벽이 낮은 업종은 대규모 소비시장이 아닌 특정 지역이나 계층에 대한 소규모의 무한한 시장을 형성하고 많은 자본이나 대규모 고용의 필요성이 낮다. 따라서 구체적인 사업계획서 없이도 창업하게 되어 운영을 위한 전문성이나 자금이 부족한 경우가 빈번하다. 소상공인으로 창업을 할 경우 창업프로세스가 전문성의 유무에 문제가 없기 때문에 용이하다. 그로인해 전문성이 없는 비전문가로 창업을 하는 경우가 비일비재이다. 대기업이다. 프랜차이즈에 비해 마케팅 믹스활동이 미흡한 것이 현실이다. 이에 고객이 인지하는 마케팅 믹스활동이 브랜드이미지와 브랜드 충성도에 미치는 영향으로 소상공인커피전문점의 마케팅 믹스활동을 중심으로 조사할 예정이다. 그리하여 비자발적 창업을 준비하는 커피전문점 소상공인에 시사점을 제공하여 창업 시 유의할 점을 파악하도록 할 것 이다. 본 연구는 설문조사를 통해 데이터를 수집한다. 대상은 소상공인을 이용하는 고객과 소상공인을 대상으로 마케팅믹스 7P's가 브랜드이미지와 브랜드 충성도에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 한다.

The purpose of the study is to develop an effective model of a science teachers' professional development program. This study consists of two parts: (1) the theoretical review of science teachers' professional development and (2) a case study of a science teachers' professional development programme in the UK. After reviewing recent research on pedagogical content knowledge and new approaches to educational research, the following suggestions emerged: (1) Continuing Professional Development(CPD) should be embedded in teachers' real practice in the classroom and (2) embedded in the everyday life of learners' within the community. (3) CPD should support the development of teachers' communities of professional practice. The case study of 'CPD through Portfolios of Evidence' in the British programme indicated that collecting explicit evidence of good practice in the classroom and establishing agreement as to what constitutes good practice in a teachers' community helped teachers' professional development. Finally, what emerged from the case study of the CPD programme in the UK and the theoretical review of PCK was the following. An effective CPD model of science teachers should comprise these three stages: (1) providing opportunities of professional development, (2) changing practice in the classroom and research, and (3) spreading and sustaining change. The whole process is circular.
