This study investigated the relationship between science high school teachers' beliefs of gifted education and classroom practices. The data of this case study were collected from three science teachers who worked in a science high school through qualitative research methods such as interviews and classroom observations. The other various data related to science high school management and the teachers' teaching were collected and analyzed using the constant comparative method. The results of the study are as follows: the teacher of long period in-service experience in science high school had teacher-centered belief, and his classroom practices were matched with his beliefs. The teacher of short period in-service experience in science high school had student-centered belief, and her classroom practices were matched with her beliefs, also. The teacher of medium period in-service experience in science high school had student-centered belief, but her teacher-centered classroom practices were mismatched with her beliefs. From the results, it could conclude that school culture affects on teachers' classroom practices stronger than beliefs. The longer career period of science high school changed easier teachers' beliefs into knowledge education for university entrance examination removed from gifted education. To solve these problems, we suggest the needs of teacher education programs for science high school teachers.

This study examined the effects of adolescents' stress coping behavior on gambling addiction using the irrational belief of gambling as a mediating variable. For this, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 377 high school students in Jeju. Data processing analysis of the research was verified by Baron & Kenny's regression analysis in 4 phases and a Sobel Test was done to verify the significance level on the mediation effect. The study results can be summarized as follows. First, while problem-focused coping had a negative (-) correlation with gambling addiction, emotion-focused coping had a positive (+) correlation with gambling addiction. Second, the irrational belief of gambling had no mediating effects on the relationship between problem-focused coping and gambling addiction. Third, the irrational belief of gambling had a full mediating effect on the relationship between emotion-focused coping and gambling addiction. In conclusion, emotion-focused coping under stress situations would enhance the gambling behavior by increasing the irrational belief of gambling. Therefore, it is necessary to develop programs to improve the adolescents' stress coping skills and rationally correct their irrational belief of gambling, which will be helpful in preventing adolescents' gambling addiction. The limitations of this study are discussed together with suggestions for future research.

With the proven benefits of and increased interest in using technology in education, the role of teachers has become more important in integrating technology into mathematics classroom. Thus, it is important to improve preservice teachers' technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK), which are influenced by their beliefs. This study examines how preservice secondary mathematics teachers' experience and beliefs related to technology use in the mathematics classrooms impact their TPACK. The results of this study show that preservice teachers who have more experience using technology and who hold student-centered beliefs towards technology use display higher levels of technology-related knowledge than preservice teachers who have little experience and who hold teacher-centered beliefs. Understanding the relationships between preservice teachers' TPACK and beliefs provides insights into how teacher education programs can support preservice teachers to develop TPACK and integrate technology into their future mathematics instruction.

노현송. 그가 구청장으로 취임해서 일한 것은 불과 5개월 남짓. 그에게서는 그 기간만큼의 신선함말고도 농익은 열정 같은 것이 느껴진다. 44세의 젊은 나이에, 민선 구청장으로 선출된 그이에게는 예리한 판단력과 확실한 추진력 외에도, 강서구를 서울의 새로운 중심도시로 만들어 보겠다는 어떤 고집 같은 것이 있기 때문이다. 그래서일까. 올해 강서구에는 구민을 위한 문화공간이 곳곳에 개설되는가 하면 구민을 위한 복지사업이 눈에 띄게 많았다. 평생 사람 사이의 '신의'를 최고의 신념으로 갖고 그 신념을 지키고 실천하며 살아온 사람. 그래서 강서 구민들이 노 구청장에게 거는 기대는 사뭇 크다. 갖고 있는 신념만큼이나 확실하게 강서구를 위해 헌신적으로 일할 것을 믿기 때문이다.

This study was conducted to explore the mediation effects of irrational belief on the relationship between game addiction and anger behavior. For this study, 431 middle school boys in Chungcheong areas were included in the analysis. The results showed that game addiction was positively correlated with direct anger-out, rumination, diffusion as well as irrational belief. The boys at high risk of game addiction showed higher mean scores on irrational belief, direct anger-out, rumination: and diffusion than other students. Irrational belief (mediator) partially mediated the influence of the boys' game addiction (independent variable) on direct anger-out, rumination, and diffusion (dependent variable). Finally, limitations of this study and suggestions for future study were discussed.

This study has surveyed 379 social workers to recognize how much they believe their behaviors are ethical related to dual relationship and how many they have experienced dual relationships with their clients. In addition, we also examined if there were significant differences in social workers' beliefs and experiences according to their socio-demographic characteristics and organizational properties. To accomplish this purpose, we conducted frequency analysis, single sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance focusing on sexual, bartering and private relationships. Respondents tend to have a little permissive attitude about dual relationships while they little experienced of them. Social workers's beliefs and experiences are different depending on gender, education level, work experience, position, training experience of ethics and service target. From these results, it suggested that code of ethics for social workers and the curriculum of social work ethics should be revised reflecting on present field situation and inspiring ethical sensitivity.

Even though identical science textbooks are used in elementary science classes, differences exist in teachers' teaching practices. The purpose of this study was to understand the relationships between elementary teachers' beliefs of science learning and their science teaching practices. An Likert-scale survey and interviews were performed on four elementary teachers to obtain information about the beliefs of teachers in science learning. In order to understand their teaching practices and the relationships between teachers' beliefs and their teaching practices, 2 classes per each teacher were recorded and instruction analyses were performed in the aspects of teaching contents, methods, and learning environments. The results showed that teacher A and B, who held traditional beliefs of science learning, taught their classes mainly based on teacher's explanation. While, teacher C and D, who held constructive beliefs of science learning, reorganized the contents of textbooks and applied various teaching methods and strategies in conducting their teaching practices. There were differences in teachers' beliefs of science learning and teaching practices. These differences in beliefs were related with their science teaching practices.

성공한 창업가들이나 저명인사들에게 성공의 요인을 물어보면 운이 좋았다고 이야기를 한다. 새해가 되면 신년 운세를 보거나 중요한 사업에 대한 의사결정을 앞두고 운세를 알아보는 사람도 많다. 우리나라뿐만 아니라 토머스 J. 스탠리가 20년간 백만장자 733명을 분석하여 저술한 <부자들의 선택>을 보더라도, 백만장자의 12%가 자신들의 경제적 성공요인으로 '운'을 뽑았다. 하지만 현실적으로 지배적인 개념임에도 불구하고 그동안 행운에 대한 과학적 검증이 많지 않았다. 운에 대한 전통적인 관점은 운을 외부 요인으로 보고 무작위하고 통제 불가능하다고 보았기 때문이다. 통제가 불가능하기 때문에 미래를 예측 하는 데에 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 간주하고 있었다. 행운은 운명처럼 정해져있는 것일까? 왜 운이 좋은 사람들은 자신에게 유리한 기회를 잘 인지하고 포착하는 것일까? 현실 속에 운이라는 개념이 존재한다면 이런 현상이 벌어지는 이유에 대해 과학적 탐구가 필요할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 행운은 외부 환경에 의해서 무작위로 정해지는 것이 아니라 개인의 내적 속성으로 운을 통제 할 수 있다는 것으로 보았다. 행운에 대한 신념이 있는 사람은 우연한 사건에 대해 우연기술을 통하여 기회역량을 높일 수 있다는 것을 검증하고자 한다. 이를 검증하기 위하여 총 332명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고 행운의 신념이 우연기술의 매개역할로 창업 기회 역량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 행운의 신념은 기회 역량에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 행운의 신념은 우연기술의 하위요인인 호기심, 인내성, 유연성, 낙관성, 위험감수 모두에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 우연기술의 하위요인 중 인내성, 낙관성, 위험감수만이 기회역량에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것을 나타났다. 넷째, 우연기술의 하위요인인 인내성, 낙관성, 위험감수는 행운신념과 기회역량의 관계에서 매개효과가 있다고 판단할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 행운에 대한 높은 신념을 갖고 우연 기술을 더 개발한다면 창업 기회 역량을 더 높일 수 있음을 시사한다.

The unprecedented pandemic caused by the COVID-19 has led to a massive global public health campaign to slow the spread of the virus. Thus, this study examines the importance of individual's prevention behavior intention by adapting health belief model(HBM). In addition, we added social variables to understand the prevention behavior better considering the situation in which collective behaviors are important. The online survey results(N=298) showed that higher level of perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived peril, perceived social norms and lower level of perceived responsibility led to higher prevention behavior intention. Peril was the most influential factor among all the variables. In addition, perceived severity and social norms followed after that. Additional analysis also implied that socio-HBM model we proposed better explained the prevention behavior intention than traditional HBM.

It is critical to examine changes in teachers' beliefs on how to teach and learn mathematics through teacher education programs. This study aims to develop an instrument measuring elementary pre-service teachers' beliefs on student- and teacher-centered instruction. After developing questionnaires with mathematics education experts, the structural validity of the instrument was evaluated by collecting and analyzing data from 166 pre-service teachers. Parallel analysis and exploratory factor analysis were applied sequentially to collect validity and reliability evidence. The results showed that this instrument can be used to examine changes in pre-service teachers' two different types of belief: student- and teacher-centered instruction. We also suggested how to interpret scores appropriately.
