The purpose of this study is to see the effects of school climate on school violence and fears of attending school. The direct relationship between school climates and fears of attending school will be examined, as well as the indirect and mediated effects of school violence in that school climates influence the fears of attending school. A theoretical model of the relationships of school climates, school violence, and fears of attending school will be given. The subjects of the surveys were chosen from 12 junior high schools in the Seoul, Gyeonggi area through convenience sampling. 1,317 surveys were then analyzed. School climates directly affect the fear of going to school through the mediums of peer and teacher violence. The derived results stress the necessity of improving school climates in order to reduce violence from peers and teachers and to reduce fear of attending school.

This study was to investigate factors influencing the school adjustment according to gender and body mass index (BMI) of middle school students who participated in the 2nd-wave Korea Children and Youth Panel Study (KCYPS). This study used a crosssectional design with secondary analysis with KCYPS. The variables were parental interest, behavioral problem, aggression, attention problem, somatic symptom, social withdrawal, depression, and academic achievement. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regressions. School adjustment was significantly associated with academic achievement high, explaining 11.3~19.1% of the variance in boys. School adjustment was significantly associated with attention problem, explaining 14.9~42.4% of the variance in girls. Factors influencing school adjustment were significantly different according to gender and BMI. To improve the school adjustment, it is necessary to develop gender-specific school adjustment promotion programs according to BMI.

사회가 복잡하게 변화됨에 따라 온난화 등의 해결하기 어려운 새로운 문제들이 등장하고 있다. 이를 효과적으로 해결하기 위해서는 창의력과 절차적인 사고가 요구되며 이러한 능력을 키우기 위해 소프트웨어 교육이 필요하다. 이에 따라 2015개정 교육과정에서 정보교과의 비중이 증가하였으며, 2018학년도부터는 중학교 정보교육이 의무화되었고, 그 동안 실제 생활에 접목하여 문제 해결력 및 컴퓨팅 사고력을 향상 시킬 수 있는 피지컬 컴퓨팅이 도입되었다. 하지만 고등학생의 경우 이전 교육과정에서 새롭게 도입되었기에 피지컬 컴퓨팅 수업이 진행되기가 쉽지 않다. 본 연구에서는 고등학생의 피지컬 컴퓨팅 구현 능력 향상과 이를 통해서 문제 해결력 향상에 어떠한 영향이 있는가를 알아보기 위해서 피지컬 컴퓨팅 교육 프로그램을 위한 과정으로 오래된 운영체제에서만 사용이 가능한 구형 프린터기의 드라이버를 최신 운영체제에서도 사용이 가능하도록 프린터 드라이버를 커스터마이징하여 윈도우 10에서도 사용이 가능하도록 하는 소프트웨어 교육을 설계하였고 이를 고등학생에게 적용하기 위하여 학생들의 사전 사후 검사를 실시하고자 한다. 자원의 재활용과 환경적인 측면에서 그 동안에는 신제품 구입 후 빠른 IT환경의 발전 및 변화로 멀쩡한 하드웨어를 폐기하고, 최신 운영체제에 대응하는 하드웨어를 새롭게 구입해야 했으나, 본 교육과정을 통해 각 가정에 있는 구형 프린터의 재사용을 위한 프린터 드라이버 제작이라는 선순환적인 교육목적을 추구하며 소프트웨어 교육이라는 본질 측면에 좀 더 가까이 다가가며, 해당 하드웨어 제품에 대한 소프트웨어의 저작권 교육도 함께 진행할 수 있으며, 잘 만들어진 소프트웨어의 경우 새로운 시장을 창출할 수 있도록 하는 계기가 될 것이다. 학생들의 흥미에서는 좋은 반응을 보였으나 실제 문제 해결력을 위해서는 저변 확대가 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 오래된 구형 하드웨어를 최신 운영체제에서도 사용할 수 있도록 하는 과정에서의 실생활에 적용되는 유용한 피지컬 컴퓨팅을 보다 효과적으로 사용하기 위해서는 프로그램의 설계에 대한 지속적인 연구가 필요할 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to understand the school achievement of domestic adopted children in Korea and its related factors. Although the developmental outcomes of domestic adopted children were the focus of research interests, their school achievement has never been fully addressed in Korea. The subsample (9-17 years old) of 5th wave data of was used for the analysis. The results showed that the school achievement level of domestic adopted children was not significantly different from their non-adopted peers during elementary school years except the mathematics, but changed drastically after they entered the middle school, showing significantly lower level from their non-adopted peers. Factors related with the overall school achievement were the level of school, maternal education, age at adoption, child's self-esteem and school adjustment. For specific subject, however, significant factors were found to be somewhat different. Based on the results of the study, the practical guidelines to improve the school achievement of adopted children were suggested. Also, suggestions for the following studies were made.

It is increasingly clear that student mastery of concepts and skills in geographic education is based on a complex set of variables. Sex and gender are the key variables. Much has been written about biological sex differences in learning, but less attention has been paid to the impacts of socio-cultural gender on learning geography. As such, the aims of this paper are two-fold. First, to examine theories which seek to explain why males and females might differ in their geographic and spatial knowledge or skill. Second, to examine the extent of sex differences and gender traits in the geographic learning. The results of study illustrate clearly that there are more similarities than differences between the sexes. Therefore, there are significant gender differences between the preferences of regions, contents, activities in the secondary geographic learning. The results also provide insights into improving contents and method of geographic education.
