Using small and medium sized firms located on 3th seongseo industry complex in Daegu, this study investigated the effects of technology development factors on innovation performance, and suggested the implications in terms of technology policies. Technology development factors are categorized into both fundamental based factors and external cooperation based factors as independent variables. According to the research results, external cooperation based factor positively affects innovation performance, and this positive effect is reported in firms having more than average firm size. Under environment uncertainty, external cooperation based factor plays a key role to increase innovation performance to firms having more than average firm size. Therefore, policy making should be focused on external cooperation, not on fundamental base such as people and infrastructure, and also dissimilar policy suggestion based firm size is needed to be considered.

The focus of design in the contemporary point of view has changed from the improvement in production efficiency for profitability and in styling for sales promotion to human-oriented design. Human-centered design has developed into design which includes social and ethical responsibility and values. With tradition and culture as a base the principles of markets and capital are incorporated as well. Such current design is the outcome of design which honors social values represented based on culture acquired from individuals and society and the the responsibility of the designer who provides it. For the realization of social values in design, it should be considered along with the influence of design on society, this study presented the following cases: First, human-oriented design for those who are isolated, but should not be ignored; Second, cultural-oriented design which makes a contribution to local conditions; and third, usability-oriented design which replaces familiar ideas with new paradigms. This study presented the function and meaning of design in terms of purpose and the methods to solve social and human problems using design. Further studies should deal with the realization and extension of social values through design.

This research examines the effect of globalization of Korean economy on small and medium-sized entrepreneurial firms. When Korea underwent the Asian economic crisis in 1997, it reconstructed Korean venture industry and had helped fuel venture firms' rapid growth. Therefore, this study shows the changed structure of Korean economy and the change of venture ecosystem due to the Asian financial crisis. In spite of a favorable turn of the industrial structure toward venture firms, their globalization level is reported still being low. In this study, we also examine how the Korean economy's globalization affects to the venture environments, focusing on the degree of Korea venture's globalization and role of venture capital. This study indicates that the globalization of Korean economy has played a positive role in the growth of the venture firms. However, with the growth of venture firms, small and medium venture companies have received relatively little focuses in Korean economy because the government policy of economic development has been oriented to large companies for several decades.

The main aim of this study is a meta-theoretical investigation to explain the current theoretical landscape of social innovation theories and researches. First of all, this paper makes a typology of social innovation based on concepts and sectors of social innovation. Second, in terms of societal innovation, which it is a kind of social innovation systematic approach, this paper draws some implications for social innovation policy. My key argument is that social innovation could be specified in three different sectors, public innovation, market innovation, and social economy innovation. However, all of them have attention to such as improving a quality of life and making society more sustainable, so it can be argued that those different sectors are structured on social innovation altogether with common goals. Finally, in order to activate the social innovation ecosystem, the government has to play a key role as a facilitator to make sustainable networks and a governance of social innovation that is needed to coordinate between different features and roles of social innovation sectors.

The main purpose of this paper is to explore the impacts of foreign wife status and social capital on fertility among a group of Chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese wives in Korea. Attention is focused on the argument that minority group status and immigrant social capital exerts an independent effect on fertility, apart from socioeconomic and demographic variables. It is hypothesized that the level and tempo of fertility of foreign wives reflect their social disadvantages and the adaptation process. Micro-data from two socio-demographic surveys were utilized to analyze the reproductive outcomes of foreign and native wives in Korea. Results of analyses reveal that foreign wives in Korea tend to have fewer children compared to native Korean women. It was found that a foreign wife's access to social capital significantly facilitates reproductive behavior. Those who engage themselves more in voluntary activities, have more friends in Korea, and possess better and higher-quality social networks tend to have more children. Foreign wives with a high degree of integration or assimilation to the new surroundings were also found to have more children than other foreign wives.

Software courses required for all students regardless of their major in many universities. SW educational effectiveness model needs to be developed to enable effective communication among students, professors, and SW educators, and to identify the responsibilities of SW educators. SW educational effectiveness model based on literature review is composed of computational thinking, SW literacy, SW awareness, and SW attitude. Computational thinking, focused on analysis and design of problem solving processes, consists of decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithms. SW literacy involves viewing social development based on SW beyond information literacy in the digital age. The SW awareness and attitude were organized by considering the collegiate contexts. The SW educational effectiveness model will be used as the basis for diagnosis tools as further studies.

This study aims to identify the moderating effect of patient activation in relation between trust in healthcare professionals and shared decision making in patients with diabetes mellitus. The participants were 186 patients who received treatment for diabetes at the department of endocrinology in the tertiary hospital located in Daejeon and consented to participate in our survey. The results of this study were a significant interaction between trust in healthcare professionals(β=0.32, p=.045) and patient activation(β=0.32, p=.024) was associated with shared decision making. The patient activation had a moderating effect between trust in healthcare professionals and shared decision making in patients with diabetes mellitus(β=0.25, p=.019). Therefore, it is necessary to assess trust in healthcare professionals to improve negative awareness of healthcare professionals and strengthen trust in them. In addition, to promote participation in shared decision making, it is necessary to develop a convergent program to focus patient activation.

The purpose of this study is to scrutinize the characteristics of a teacher's discursive competence on the basis of mathematical competencies. For this purpose, we observed all semester-long classes of a middle school teacher, who changed her own teaching methods for the last 20 years, collected video clips on them, and analyzed classroom discourse. Data analysis shows that in problem solving competency, she helped students focus on mathematically important components for problem understanding, and in reasoning competency, there was a discursive competence which articulated thinking processes for understanding the needs of mathematical justification. And in creativity and confluence competency, there was a discursive competence which developed class discussions by sharing peers' problem solving methods and encouraging students to apply alternative problem solving methods, whereas in communication competency, there was a discursive competency which explored mathematical relationships through the need for multiple mathematical representations and discussions about their differences. These results can provide concrete directions to developing curricula for future teacher education by suggesting ideas about how to combine practices with PCK needed for mathematics teaching.

최근 들어 기업가적 활동을 촉진하는 데 있어 무엇보다도 여성의 경제활동 참여와 사회안전망 구축의 필요성이 제기되고 있는바, 본 연구에서는 사회화경험과 기업가 활동의도의 관계에 대한 맥락적 차이 규명에 초점을 두고, 이들 관계에 대한 성별의 조절 효과와 사회안전망의 삼원조절효과에 대해 규명하고자 한다. 본 연구 목적은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 사회화경험(창업경험, 기업가정신 교육경험)이 기업가 활동의도에 미치는 효과를 규명하고, 이들 관계에 대한 성별의 조절효과를 검증한다. 둘째, 사회화경험 및 기업가정신 교육과 기업가 활동의도의 관계에 대한 성별 조절효과가 사회안전망과 같은 국가 맥락적 차이가 존재하는지에 대해 삼원상호작용 분석을 통해 검증한다. 상기 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 본 연구는 (재)한국청년기업가정신재단에서 제공한 글로벌 기업가정신 추세 리포트(GETR) 자료를 활용하였다. GETR자료는 한국을 포함한 총 20개국(한국, 일본, 중국, 인도네시아, 인도, 싱가포르, 런던, 독일, 러시아, 덴마크, 핀란드, 영국, UAE, 이스라엘, 남아공, 터키, 이집트, 미국, 브라질, 칠레, 호주)을 대상으로 국가별 최소 2,000명을 표본으로 선정해 설문조사가 이루어진 자료이며, 유효 응답자 기준 총 40,388명이 설문에 응답하였다. 그러나 자료 검증과정에서 전체 응답자 중 2,506명이 불성실 응답자 및 이상치로 확인되어 최종 분석과정에서 삭제되었다. 따라서 37,882개의 표본이 최종 분석에 활용되었으며, 여성 17,997명 (47.5%), 남성 19,885명(52.5%)으로 확인되었다. 분석 도구는 Hayes의 Process를 활용하여 사회화 및 교육, 성별, 성별 격차의 삼원상호작용 효과에 대한 분석이 이루어졌다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 창업경험 및 기업가정신 교육경험은 기업가 활동의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 이들 관계에 대한 성별 조절효과를 살펴본 결과, 성별 조절효과는 기업가정신 교육경험과 기업가 활동의도의 관계에 대해서만 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 구체적으로, 기업가정신 교육경험이 기업가 활동의도에 미치는 긍정적 효과는 여성이 남성보다 더 강한 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 사회안전망의 삼원조절효과를 분석한 결과, 창업경험과 기업가 활동의도의 긍정적 관계는 여성이 남성보다 더 강한 것으로 나타났는데, 이러한 효과는 사회안전망이 높은 집단에서 더 높게 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다. 즉, 과거 창업경험이 있는 여성은 사회안전망이 높다고 인식할 경우 과거 창업경험이 있는 남성보다 기업가 활동의도가 더 많이 증가하는 것이다. 이와 관련된 논의는 본문에 제시하였다.
