The purpose of this study is to analyze the paths of the presence that influences the use of the virtual simulation in the special education classrooms. The participants consisted of 76 students who majored in special education in J and K universities. Participants took a three lectures of 3-h. that addressed the theory and practice of virtual technology such as virtual reality(VR) and augmented reality(AR), and then completed the questionnaires on participants' presence level and expectation level of virtual simulation for special education. Study results were as followings: (1) Enjoyment and Communication have direct effects on positive expectation, while Immersion has a direct effect on negative concern; (2) Reality, Accessibility Performance, Communication, and Immersion have indirect effects mediated by Enjoyment on positive expectation; and (3) Communication and Reality have indirect effects mediated by Immersion on negative concern. Lastly, the implications and suggestions for future research were presented.

To understand the use of the ebooks among undergraduate students, a questionnaire was devised and collected data from 466 respondents. The level of ebook and its service awareness appears to be low, and only about 30% of the students have used ebooks in the past. Students access ebooks primarily through the library homepage. 73% of the users read 3 ebooks and below. The subject and area of reading is fairly spread, however literary works and genre fiction were most popular And the purpose is split into academic and private reading. Most of the users lack of knowledge about additional functions. Overall satisfaction level is low. Discomfort and ebooks illiteracy constitute the major reasons of nonuse, however about 88% of the nonusers show willingness to use in the future. According to the interview, active users are familiar with the screen reading as well as perceived advantages of ebooks. Nontheless, their satisfaction level is still low. Based on the results, recommendations for creating awareness, education, production development and service evaluation are suggested to promote the ebooks use.

Serious games allow learners to experience situations that are impossible in the real world for various purposes. To date the major applications of serious games include military, government, education, corporate and healthcare applications. This paper aims to provide an overview of the applications of serious games for various health-related purposes, particularly for Health and Medicine education, health risk prevention, behavioral intervention, and disease self-management. These games identified numerous papers reporting empirical evidence about the impacts and outcomes. There is potential promise for serious games to improve health outcomes. We discuss implications of using serious games for health-related purposes and future direction for research in this area.

Since the U.S. government officially accepted North Korean(NK) as refugees starting in 2006, about 120 North Koreans have come to and been living in the United States. However, little is known in regard to what the North Korean refugees need for a qualify life. This study aims to explore the essential experiences of North Korean defectors who have settled in the United States after escaping North Korea. Research inquiries are why North Korean refugees have chosen the United States for their settlement, and how they are living in the United States. Data were collected from in-depth interviews with eight NK refugees. For data analysis, grounded theory approach by Strauss and Corbin(1998) was employed. The data analysis identified the central phenomenon, protective and risk factors, and core actions and consequences of NK refugees' adjustment in the U.S. The central phenomenon was "voluntary choose to come to the U.S." The core action and consequences in the process of their adjustment were 'searching for the meaning of life,' and 'achieving acculturation.' The findings may provide deeper understanding on the situation of North Korean refugees in the U.S. and implications for how to help them adjust well in the society.

The purpose of this study was to understand the experiences of work-family reconciliation of Korean nonprofit organization workers. To achieve this purpose, researchers collected data from in-depth interviews and analysed the data through qualitative case study approach that is useful to reveal the invisible phenomenon. As results, the researchers found several categories that were related to work-family reconciliation and experiences in those categories. Specifically, 'the richer-get-richer' in the category of institution, 'organizational culture is important', 'can use but also not', 'the pure value of work' in the work, 'struggling: acceptance and easing my mind' in the family and finally 'measuring and tightrope' in between the work and family. Penetrating analysis of the nature of these found three themes, 'ultimate choice, nonprofit', 'proper than the best: a tipped scale is also balanced', 'systems are living things: ever-changing'. Based on these findings, researchers suggested several policies and practical alternatives to support work-family reconciliation of NPOs and their workers in Korea.

본고(本稿)에서는 지난 1973~93년 기간동안 제조업부문에서의 고용(雇傭), 임금(賃金), 생산성(生産性) 등의 변화추이(變化推移)에 대한 분석을 통하여 우리나라 중소제조업(中小製造業)의 세가지 특징적(特徵的)인 팽창양식(膨脹樣式)으로 (1)급격한 양적(量的) 팽창(膨脹), (2)중소기업(中小企業)과 대기업(大企業)간 임금(賃金) 생산성(生産性) 격차(隔差)의 거대(據大), (3)산업조정(産業調整)에 따른 고용조정(雇傭調整) 등에 주목(注目)하였다. 이러한 중소제조업 고용의 동태적인 변화에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 최근 심각히 부각되고 있는 중소제조업 생산직의 인력부족문제를 단순히 '노동(勞動)에 대한 초과수요(超過需要)'로 파악하는 정태적(靜態的)인 관점(觀點)을 비판하였으며, 또한 중소기업 인력(人力)의 질(質)이 대기업(大企業)에 비하여 상대적으로 저하되었음을 보임으로써 중소제조업(中小製造業) 고용문제(雇傭問題)의 핵심은 양적(量的)인 부족(不足)이 아니라 '인력(人力)의 질(質)'의 문제임을 강조하였다. 특히 우리나라 인력개발체계가 국가적(國家的)으로 직업자격(職業資格)을 갖춘 중간기술인력(中間技術人力)을 제대로 배출해 내는 데 실패함으로써, 대기업에 비하여 종업원에 대한 교육훈련에 있어서 규모의 경제를 갖지 못하는 중소기업의 경우 질 높은 인력의 확보에 어려움을 겪는 데 문제의 심각성이 있음을 지적하였다. 또한 본고(本稿)에서는 우리나라의 중소기업(中小企業)이 생산현장(生産現場)에서 바로 활용할 수 있는 직업자격(職業資格)을 갖춘 중간기술인력(中間技術人力)을 제대로 공급할 수 있도록, (1)직업기술교육(職業技術敎育), 직업훈련(職業訓練), 자격제도(資格制度)간의 연계(連繫) 강화(强化), (2)새로운 국가기술자격제도(國家技術資格制度)의 확립(確立), (3)인력개발(人力開發)네트워크의 구축(構築), (4)인력개발지원체계(人力開發支援體系)의 정비(整備) 등 네가지를 기본방향(基本方向)으로 하는 우리나라 인력개발체계(人力開發體系)의 전반적(全般的)인 개편(改編)을 제언(提言)하였다.

The environment of education has been undergoing dramatic developments in recent years with the development of information technology such as digital information transfer, storage and communication methods. Education and training technology is constantly evolving and growing. Because we continually meet the new and interesting advances in our world. The evolution in education and training at a distance can be characterized as a move from traditional learning to u-learning. This paper concerns with the application of u-based education methodology for people with disabilities targeting to empower them. Instead of the classic educational support such as extended time to take exams, a reader and/or scribe to assist with exams and note taking services. In this paper, we introduce the definition of inclusion and disabilities which does not been fully understood what they mean and then possible implementing materials which can empower the students with disabilities with accomplishments. We would like to point out that we concentrate on the aspects of instructional science particularly related with inclusive classes.

This study analyzes the right guarantee level of Job Creation Project for the Elderly by participation type based on Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing. The analysis is conducted using '2012 Job Creation Project for the Elderly Participants Survey' of Korea Labor Force Development Institute for the Aged. The major findings are as follows: First, "social contribution" type's implementation level of "active participation in society and development" is not high enough. Second, considering the average age of the participants, the level of "work and the ageing labor force" is high enough while the practical level is not high in market. Third, the level of "access to knowledge, education and training" is not enough within "market entrance" participants. Fourth, the level of "poverty reduction" and "income security" is not high. Based on the results, this study proposes that the quality of "social contribution" type's occupations and "market entrance" type's education should be improved. Also, the wages of the entire occupations provided by this project need to be raised.
