This study proposes smart-phone game applications success model based on mobile internet success model and investigates the effects of cultural propensities especially, uncertainty avoidance and power distance at the individual level. To achieve our research purposes, the study conducted survey in Korea and a total of 221 people participated in the survey. We classified user types by cultural difference as a moderating variable. User's cultural propensity classified two groups: high uncertainty avoidance and high power distance, low uncertainty avoidance and low power distance. This study results reveal that the impact of quality factors on user satisfaction have difference according to cultural propensities.

In this study, We found out that bibliotherapy program for university student has its strong point and effectiveness. The result of this study are follows: 1) bibliotherapy program is a safe method which covers the advantage of group psychotherapy and make up for the disadvantages. 2) significant changes in imitational behavior, cohesion and acceptance of reality suggest the necessity of bibliotherapy program that focuses on university career. 3) In light of the gloomy reality of young people, the fact that university students discuss love and hope for romance was meaningful phenomenon. It is necessary to study the after reading activities that can enhance the effectiveness of the bibliotherapy program and the specific topics and media that is needed by universities. The study is an approach that is widely available in university and will be the first step to establish the professional direction for bibliotherapy program.

This study aims to identify the effect of music psychotherapy on motivation for learning in the underachieving student. The study divided nine children into two groups and placed four children in a test group and five children in a control group. After conducting a pre-test, the researcher performed music psychotherapy with the four children in the test group for about 12 weeks, twice a week, totaling 18 sessions. Quantitative data were measured in pre-and-post tests using Mann-Whitney's U-test, and the effects of the therapy were analyzed using Wilcoxon. The findings of this study were as follows. Music psychotherapy was shown to be effective for improving all types of motivation for learning in underachieving students (p < .001). This was shown by assessing improvements in the experimental group across four sub-areas of motivation for learning (p < .1), and directly measured by examining the subjects' lingual responses related to motivation for learning. These results demonstrate that music psychotherapy is effective for enhancing motivation for learning in underachieving students.

This study constructed an experiment group and a comparative group, composed of high school students preparing for "Na" type math exam and provided one-to-many tutoring cooperative learning. This study tested the differences between group and between pre- and post-treatment scores by group using non-parametric statistics techniques. Moreover, this study conducted an open-type survey twice and had individual interviews to examine the affective domains of students. The difference in scores between the experimental group and the comparative group was not significant. However, the difference between pre- and post-treatment math scores was only significant in the experiment group among the three groups. Additionally, the student-teacher could reflect on him or her and improve self-efficacy while teaching other ordinary students. The ordinary students were more interested and motivated in the lessons and became more confident. In terms of mathematics competency, we could see that communication, problem-solving, reasoning, and attitude & practice were improved.

We investigated the relationship of brain dominance with mathematics and science achievement. The participants were 131 middle school students (male: 74, female: 57). It was found that the above average group in mathematics and science achievement had the highest frequency with left lower brain (LLB) (mathematics: 33.8%, science: 35.0%), whereas the below average group in mathematics and science achievement had the highest frequency with right lower brain (RLB) (mathematics: 38.7%, science: 36.1%). The LLB score showed a significant difference between the above average group and the below average group in science (p<.05). In the correlational analysis, the LLB scores had the highest correlation coefficients (mathematics: r=.28, science: r=.26). The LUB scores had the second highest correlation coefficients (mathematics: r=.18, science: r=.24). These results suggest that LLB and LUB are related to mathematics and science achievement. Therefore, we insist that the assessment of mathematics and science achievement should consider brain dominance.

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a re-employment education to job-seeking anxiety, job-seeking stress and Career belief in an effort to prove the effectiveness of re-employment education. The subjects in this study were 67 believer who were users of G church in the city of K. A re-employment education was conducted in fourteen sessions, once a week. The major findings of the study were as follows: First, the experimental group who participated in the re-employment education felt less job-seeking anxiety. Second, the experimental group who participated in the re-employment education felt less job-seeking stress. Third, the experimental group who participated in the re-employment education showed improvement in Career belief.

This study aimed to investigate the difference of the disabilities type of caring competency, caring appraisal(caring burden, caring satisfaction), self-help group support for parents who have children with disabilities. The data were collected by a self-reported questionnaire from 301 parents who have disabled children(180 mental disabilities & 121 physical disabilities). Given the three types of invariance satisfied, latent means analysis(LMA) is performed to test mean differences on the four factors across the two groups. According to LMA where the parents who have children with physical disabilities are used as the reference group, the parents who have children with mental disabilities showed higher latent mean values on the self-help group support and caring burden. However, the parents who have children with physical disabilities showed higher latent mean values on the caring satisfaction and caring competency.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Tetris game on the cognitive abilities of students with mental retardation. Especially, this study focused on the arrangement of figures and the task attention. To do this, 33 students with mental retardation in a middle school participated and were assigned to the two treatment group. The experimental group did the Tetris game three times a week for 4 weeks, but the control group didn't the Tetris game. The experimental group revealed more higher improvement than the control group in the arrangement of figures and the task attention. The Tetris game can be used as an educational program to improve the cognitive abilities of students with mental retardation.

어떤 현상에 대한 학생들의 수업전 개념구조가 과학자들의 그것과 다를때 이 수업전개념을 간단한 정성적인 퀴즈를 통하여 학생 스스로 인식하게 하고 실험 또는 관찰을 통하여 학생 자신의 수업전개념 보다는 과학자들의 개념이 실험결과를 더 잘 설명할 수 있다는 것을 깨닫게 함으로써 학생들의 수업전 개념구조를 변화시키려는 교수모델을 고안하여 그 효과를 검토하였다. 고등학교 1학년 남학생 115 명(실험집단 58명, 비교집단 57명)과 고등학교 2학년 여학생 120명(실험집단 59명, 비교집단 61명)을 대상으로 뉴우턴 제2법칙에 대한 학습에 적용하고 2주후에 뉴우턴 제2법칙에 관한 시험(13문항)을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 퀴즈에 사용한 것과 유사한 상황을 다룬 문제에서는 실험집단의 성적이 비교집단의 성적보다 유의하게 높았다. 그러나, 같은 개념을 다루나 새로운 상황의 문제에서는 그 효과가 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 한가지 개념이 여러가지 새로운 상황속에 나타날때 학생들에게 이미 친숙한 상황과 새로운 상황사이의 유사점을 강조하며 위의 교수법을 계속하여 사용한다면 학생들의 뿌리깊이 밝힌 수업전 개념구조를 변화시킬 수 있으리라 사료된다. 위의 교수법은 학생들이 자신의 수업전 개념구조를 명확히 인식하고 그 불합리함을 깨달아야 하므로 자신의 수업전 개념구조에 근거하여 어떤 결과를 예측할 수 있는 예측논리(Expectation or biconditional Reasoning)가 형성된 이후의 학생들에게만 효과가 있으리라 가정하였으나 교수방법과 예측논리 사이에 유의한 상호작용효과(interaction offect)는 나타나지 않았다. 다만 여학생의 경우에서만 학생들에게 새로운 상황의 문제에서도 예측논리를 이미 형성한 실험집단의 평균이 이에 상응하는 비교집단의 평균보다 높았다. 이것은 남학생과 여학생을 지도한 교사의 교수경력과 학생들의 수업전 개념구조에 대한 교사의 인식정도에 큰 차이가 있었음을 고려할 때, 위의 수업방법을 사용하는 데 있어 교사가 학생들의 수업전 개념구조가 학생들의 개념획득에 얼마나 커다란 영향을 끼치는가에 대해 인식하는 것이 중요한 요인임을 시사한다.
