정치적으로 볼 때, 한국은 현재 북한과 남한이라는 분단 현실에 놓여있고, 북한은 제 2세계로 분류되어져 왔지만, 경제적으로나 지정학적 위치를 고려해 볼 때 북한은 현재 제 3세계로 간주되어가고 있다. 비록 이런 논의는 논쟁의 여지가 있기는 하지만 대한민국은 제 1세계와 제 3세계의 중간 어느 정도의 위치에 놓여있다고 본다. 소위, 서방과 태평양의 언저리에 놓여있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 영상연구방법 중 질적방법론의 사례분석과 문헌연구(한국민족영화운동(Korean National Cinema Movement (1980~1990)의 문헌연구)를 통해 제 3세계 영화, 비(非)서방(Non-Western) 영화들, Third Cinema 와 같은 용어들을 현대 동아시아(East Asia) 영화들을 특별히 한국영화에 적용하여 그 용어와 의미들을 논의하고자 한다. 이 논문에서 도출된 결과는, 글로벌 시대에 모든 영화들이 국적(이념)에 따라 구분 되어야 한다고 생각하지 않으며, 이러한 견지에서 동아시아(한국)의 영화는 반드시 재(再)평가 되어야하고, 제 3세계, 비(非)서방(Non-Western), 제 3세계 영화의 영역에 조심스럽게 재(再)위치해야 할 것을 재(再)조명하고 있다.

This study divides and traces experience courses of families' disorganization and reorganization of North Korean refugees in North Korea, China, and South Korea after settlement respectively, from the course of their escaping North Korea to entering South Korea. Through these results, the study is to propose political implications. Main data for the study were analyzed through a case study as a qualitative study method, targeting eight people from July in 2012 to March in 2013. From the study result, though North Korean refugees seemed to disorganize and leave family relations in the course of escaping North Korea, it was found out that this is not disorganization but a preparatory stage which saves families standing at the crossroads of life and death and makes a chance to live with them someday. In these courses, in order for them to overcome their situations and survive, while repeating disorganization and reorganization of families, they used them as a way of saving themselves and their families. It was discovered that these phenomena always occurred simultaneously.

The aim of this study is to examine how labour transition of female householders is proceeded, and to identify mechanisms that cause them to be excluded from labor market. For this, thirteen lone mothers who have had labor experience in the market, while raising children were interviewed. This qualitative case study was proceeded by way of participants' interviews and questionnaires. Finding shows, impoverished lone mothers were horizontally moving incessantly on second labor market. As poverty worsens by years, poor lone mothers tend to be more dependant on the government's support and to transit downward to work-poor labor market. The unprivileged women were excluded from multi-dimentions: market structure, social relations and gender norms. The sex-segmental and human capital-oriented market has excluded women who gave up their career for caring. Female breadwinners were frequently excluded from social relations and opportunities for labor due to their stigma. sometimes they were self-excluded from the market for they had to care for their children. In conclusion, suggestions are given to enhance qualities of lone mother's lives and help them exit from poverty. It is necessary to implement positive labor policy with labor flexibility and stability and to practice socialization of care as care support system is very important for maintaining their jobs. Above all, social awareness of gender role must be changed.

한국 IT아웃소싱서비스 산업이 안고있는 문제의 근원은 아웃소싱서비스 산업구조에서 그 원인을 찾을 수 있다. 이러한 산업구조의 문제가 서비스의 질적인 문제, 방법론의 정교화 문제, 계약의 문제 나아가서는 한국 소프트웨어 산업의 경쟁력 약화에 관한 모든 문제를 잉태하고 있다. 한국 IT아웃소싱 산업구조의 특이성을 무시한 IT아웃소싱의 문제나 문제의 증후군을 대상으로 한 연구나 정책적 해결책을 제시하는 것은 대증적 치료방법에 불과하며 한국 아웃소싱 산업의 경쟁력 확보 전략에 미미한 공헌을 할뿐이다. 우리가 미국이나 여타 국가의 아웃소싱 사례를 한국의 상황에 투영하여 이를 치유의 방안으로 제시하는 어리석음을 벗어나야 하는 이유가 여기에 있는 것이다. 본 논문의 목적은 이와 같은 한국 정보기술 아웃소싱 산업의 근원적 문제구조를 제시하고 이것이 의미하는 IT아웃소싱 연구 방향을 제시하는 데 있다.

The Ministry of Education selected and implemented 'science core school' since 2009 as a policy to strengthen science education to produce talented science students. This study judged that it is necessary to examine the current management practice and diagnose problems to propose improvement measures for more successful management of science core school in the future. To this end, we interviewed and observed teachers and students at a high school specialized in science based in Gyeonggi province which was selected as a science core school, as qualitative study methods such as interview and observation to survey and analyze the current management practice of the school. The management outcome was that the school contributed to fostering talented students in natural sciences and engineering because more varied activities were implemented at the school to develop scientific knowledge of students including experiment, excursion, and circle activity. Identified problems were increased amount of private education due to intense competition over school achievement, negligence of extracurricular activities, burdensome workload for teachers of specific subjects, and lack of expertise of math and science teachers. In conclusion, the following improvement measures are suggested for sustainable management of science core schools: greater liberty should be granted to science core schools; more training opportunities should be given to teachers; college admission program should be improved for science core school students; and it is necessary to introduce courses taught by external teachers, and provide systematic support such as increasing administration staff.

The aim of this paper is to explore and understand, using in-depth interviews, the participant's enthusiasm for and involvement in studying mathematics and the deeper nature of his/her interest in mathematics teaching. In addition a larger aim is to understand how the individual's interest in mathematics and teaching are linked to his/her larger personal fulfillment. We conducted in-depth interviews with 4 pre-service teachers' subjective experiences focusing on deep motivation, pedagogical content knowledge, inner vision. Interviews focus much more on the participant's spontaneous feeling, consciousness, and state as these arise in the interview, and on past foiling, consciousness and state as they appear to the participant subjectively retrospectively in his/her memory. The output of this research consists of 2 portraits out of 4 individual participants, highlighting and conceptually developing the specific aspects under study; different ways in which individuals' involvement with the subject area affects their motivation, inner visions and academic efforts toward becoming teachers. Larger aspects of pre-service teachers' subjective experiences were sketched by contrasting the two cases. Several suggestions were put at the end to enhance mathematics education concerning curriculum development.

This study discusses the occupational value and the feasibility of introducing an accredited detective system that is not the only OECD country. The procedures and methods of the study were developed as qualitative research methods through review of various previous studies and case analysis in related fields. The results obtained through the study are as follows. First, detectives have various social values as public goods. It is basically a policy alternative that can improve the quality of public services and secure the soundness of national finance. This can further enhance the confidence of the people in state institutions. Second, as detectives are already legally recognized in other countries, they will be able to fulfill their social roles as new jobs through cultivation. Next, in order to advance research in the field of accredited detective systems, research based on quantitative data should be more active.
