This study explores the possibility and development plan for science career education in the lower grades of elementary school. Accordingly, science career education programs were developed and applied. We investigated changes in perception and interest in science before and after the programs, and analyzed surveys, research journals, student worksheets, and interview records. Science career education programs for lower-grade elementary school students have a positive effect on the perception of scientists and science. Moreover, they influence students' interest in science. Lastly, students' perception of this program was positive and gave high marks to all parameters such as interest, participation, and understanding of the program.

The purpose of this study is to investigate elementary students' perception on science-related career and teachers' perception on science-related career education. The subjects of this study were 196 5^th and 6^th elementary students and 100 elementary teachers. The results show that 28% of the students desire to have science-related career. More Boys desire science-related careers than girls, and more students with higher level of perception in their science achievement also do than lower level students. The reason students did not desired science-related career were that they were not interested in science and did not have fun in science. Students' perceptions in the factors of science-related career choice were mostly negative except socio-cultural factors. The results of teacher's perception show that 42% of the teachers conducted science-related career education. A lot of teacher did not conduct science-related career education since they perceived the career education were not necessary or important. Students' negative perception on the factors of science-related career choice and the teachers' low perception on necessity of science-related career education can negatively influence students' science-related career choice. The more efforts were required in order to increase positive perception on science-related career.

The purposes of the study were to introduce a new approach in overcoming career problems of adolescents with multicultural backgrounds, and to explore public views on their careers. Using the Q-methodology, the types of perception toward multicultural adolescents' careers and their features from diverse views were drawn, Data from 35 participants and 34 statements were analyzed by using the QUANL-PC program. The identified perception types were classified as four types: neutral perception type, economic hardship perception type, lack of career training perception type, and lack of professional support perception type. The results found that views toward career problem of adolescents with multicultural backgrounds are neither positive nor negative, and their perceptions were more varied and specific beyond the dichotomy. Therefore, to promote the careers development of adolescents with multicultural backgrounds, more individualized career supporting strategy should be provided based on the applicable perception types.

본 논문에서는 SW중심사회로 나아감에 따라 SW와 관련된 진로에 대한 지향도를 높이기 위해 디지컬 테크놀로지를 활용한 직업 체험의 효과성을 검증하고 시사점을 도출해낸다. 다양한 직업인이 되어 인공지능, 사물인터넷, 빅데이터, 3D모델링, 가상현실 등 디지털 테크놀로지를 활용한 직업 체험을 경험한 학생들은 향상된 SW진로 지향도를 보인다. SW진로에 대한 선호도, SW교육에 대한 선호도, SW진로교육에 대한 필요성 인식, SW진로에 대한 정보제공의 필요성 인식이 모두 증가하였고, 이처럼 SW진로지향도를 높이기 위해서는 직업과 연계한 디지컬 테크놀로지 교육이 활발히 이뤄져야 한다.

The purpose of this study is to try to structuralize the perception of the mothers of science-gifted elementary students using the concept mapping approach. The mothers who participated in this research had children who were 5th and 6th graders selected as science-gifted by a regional education office, a science high school and two national universities in a city. One of the authors interviewed 26 mothers, and extracted 50 general statements of their perceptions about the career path of their children. Ten mothers who participated in interviews sorted a shuffled pack of statement cards. The categorization of the statements into the dissimilarity matrix was carried out by SPSS multidimensional scaling analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis to generate a conceptual diagram. After that 140 mothers rated each statement using a Likert-type response scale from one to five. The result showed six clusters of parental views such as were 'Burden of private education, grades and going to the next grade,' 'Thinking about career guidance in gifted education and school,' 'Parental roles in child career education,' 'Difficulties in career guidance at home,' 'Demand for strengthening the parental capacity for career guidance,' and 'Demand for social support.' 'Demand for social support' obtained the highest sympathy from mothers of elementary science gifted.

In this paper we survey the career awareness, demand, and preparation of the students of the department of mathematics education and provide basic data for establishment of career diversification strategies. For this we examined the followings: (1) department selected time and motivation, (2) satisfaction with the selection and training courses, (3) hope and change for a career after graduation, (4) related jobs and career awareness. As a result, most of the students over the course of the high school and middle school chose a career in mathematics education, the biggest motivation appeared to be due to selection was deemed suitable for individual aptitudes. Due to this reason he/she is satisfied with the selection and training process and the curriculum of mathematics education appeared to think it would be helpful to his/her career. It can be observed that the number of students increased to think of another job, depending on the grade ascent. Mostly due to the difficulty of major study as grade up, high competition and low success rate of teacher employment test, employment reduction in the number of teachers.
