The purpose of this study is to find the mediative effects of social capital in the effective path of the satisfaction of education welfare project on school adaptation, and to find out the path difference between elementary and middle school students. We surveyed 153 elementary and 124 middle school students in Gangwondo. These data analyzed by multiple group analysis of structural equation. Elementary school students realized that social capital has an effect on school adaptation. Middle school students realized that the satisfaction of education welfare project has an effect on school adaptation, and social capital has an effect on school adaptation. There is not a mediative effect of school capital on the effect of the satisfaction on school adaptation for two groups. Based on these results, implications to improve the school adaptation for elementary and middle school students were suggested.

In many countries, recently computer programming eduction has become mandatory for K-12 students. Generally since programming is difficult for K-12 students to learn, a lot of previous works have been published in which the study motivation and class satisfaction increased when game programming was applied to programming classes. We investigated a research in which we used game programming in the programming classes for middle-school students, and analyzed educational effects. In this paper, we described the specification of the games and our class model that were applied in the research. Also, we analyzed changes made to computation thinking abilities, creative thinking abilities, and perceived support for programming after the programming classes. As a result, it was found that those abilities and the perceived support were increased. Additionally, we applied Havruta learning, a kind of paired learning, in the programming class, and have known that it increased the educational outcome with respect to the traditional method.

Recently, gambling problem of youth has seriously increased. the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of sociodemographic and gambling characteristics on the future gambling participation intention among middle school students. Analysis through chi-square test and logistic regression was conducted using data from 10,228 middle school students collected in the 2018 Survey on Youth Gambling problems given from Korea center on Gambling problems. The research findings were as follows. First, among the demographics factors, sex, grade, allowance and parents-children communication showed significant difference on future gambling participation intention. Second, among the gambling factors, awareness of gambling seriousness and spending, frequency, time, cost, chasing behavior, problem gambling level showed significant difference on future gambling participation intention. Third, grade, awareness of gambling seriousness, gambling frequency, chasing behavior, problem gambling predicted the occurrence of future gambling participation intention. Based on these results, the present study suggests the prevention and intervention of gambling problem among middle school students.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the intensity of middle school students' consumer competency and to assess effectiveness of Home Economics education on consumer competency. One group pretest-posttest quasi experimental design was employed to assess the effectiveness of Home Economics education on 1st grade middle school students' consumer competency in Gyeonggi province and 154 data copies were used for analyses. The results obtained were as follows. First, the cognitive consumer competency of the middle school 1st grade students was lower than the median of 37.66 out of 100 points, and the practical consumer competency was slightly higher than the median of 3.26 out of 5 points. As for cognitive competency, citizen competency was higher than deal competency. As for practical competency, deal competency was higher than citizen competency. Second, quasi-experiment intervention statistically enhanced the middle school students' consumer competency including the cognitive and practical competency. Third, the middle school students' perceived helpfulness of Home Economics education, perceived importance of deal competency and citizen competency, the level of cognitive citizen competency were statistically influential to practical consumer competency(deal and citizen competency). However, gender, life satisfaction, and cognitive citizen competency were not influential to practical consumer competency(deal and citizen competency). The outcome offered the basic information of middle school students' consumer competency and confirmed the effectiveness of Home Economics education on the middle school students' consumer competency.

The purpose of this study was to compare science teachers' perceptions with students' perceptions about the important aims of laboratory activities in science instructions, to identify whether there was a difference between them. For the purpose, the two questionnaires were designed; for secondary science teacher and secondary student. The samples selected in each group were 108 middle school teachers, 109 middle school students, 104 high school teachers, and 110 high school students. The survey responses from each group were analyzed through multiple response method. The results indicated that science teachers selected the science process skills as important aim of laboratory activity whereas students selected the ability for creative problem-solving and the central tendency of teachers' responses about certain item-science process skill was relatively higher than students' responses about certain item-the ability for creative problem-solving. From these results, we found there was the difference between teachers' perception and students perception about the important aims of laboratory activities in science instructions.
