Purpose : Enterobiasis is probably one of the most common parasitic infection world-wide. Human is the only known host of Enterobius vermicularis. Children are more commonly infected with Enterobius vermicularis than adults and infections are commonly recurred. In Korea, there is a high prevalence. So, we performed this study to evaluate the present status of Enterobius vermicularis infection among children in the Masan, Changwon areas and to determine the efficacy of flubendazole against this parasitic nematode. Methods : From November to December, 1997, urban and rural elementary school children and urban preschool children were examined for the presence of Enterobius vermicularis egg. All the children were examined once by an adhesive cellotape anal swab technique in the early morning at home by their parents guided by specific instructions for the technique. Results : 1) A total of 644 adhesive cellotape anal swab specimens was collected from 205 urban elementary school children, 290 rural elementary school children and 145 urban preschool children. Among them, 114(17.7%) were positive for Enterobius vermicularis eggs. There was no significant differences in the rate with regard to sex. 2) In the preschool children, the egg detection rate was 42(29.0%) out of 145 children. This rate was significantly higher compared with 72(14.4%) of 499 school children. 3) The egg detection rates in the rural and urban school children were 15.2, 13.7% respectively. There was no significant difference in both groups. In the 3rd grade and below in elementary school children, there was a higher rate compared with above 4th grade group. 4) In day care center where egg detection rate was high as 41%, the children were given two doses of 100mg flubendazole every 3 weeks, including staffs and family members. After treatment, egg detection rate fatted as 6%. Conclusion : Our data demonstrated that there was high prevalence of Enterobius vermicularis infection. In the light of these results, it is necessary to examine and treat children as soon as possible.

Population were selected by two-stage stratified random sampling method and total 3,959 students replied to the self-administered questionnaire survey (1,574 in middle school, 1,664 in academic high school, 712 in business high school). The results were as follows ; 1. The proportion of current smokers was 1.5% in middle schools and 20.1% in high schools. And the smoking rates increased with school grade years (p<0.01). 2. For the motivation of smoking, curiosity was the most frequent factor and the next was temptation by friends. 3. The most common situation on the first experience of smoking was that middle school boys smoked a cigarette which was found in a house, through curiosity, with friends, at home. High school boys smoked a cigarette taken from friends, through curiosity, with friend, on the road or at home. 4. The proportion of smokers who smoke a cigarette regularly was 34.8% among smokers in middle school and 70.2% among smokers in high school. The most proportion of duration of smoking was less than 1 month among middle school boys (20.8%) and more than 2 years among high school boys (43.9%). The first smoking experience was in elementary school among middle school boys and the third grade of middle school in high school students. Most current smokers (73.9% in middle school boys, 65.3% in high school boys) wanted to quit smoking. 5. Smokers had significant association with intimate friend's smoking, mother's and brother's smoking, inharmonious friendships, dissatisfied with home and school life, lower school grades, generous attitude to other smokers, lack of knowledge to passive smoking and no contact to mass media (TV) (p<0.01).

The concepts of core competencies and achievement standards were newly introduced within national curriculum documents since the 2009 Revised National Curriculum. The purpose of this introduction was to develop a curriculum that reflects unique characteristics of each subject and for the effectiveness of student evaluation. The purpose of this study was to suggest a direction for the future national curriculum and achievement standards development through comparing the national curriculum and standards between South Korea and the U.S. In particular, this study focused on two aspects: 1) the hierarchical relationships and the structural system of achievement standards in the curricula of two countries, and 2) the details of differences in two countries' achievement standards of a specific content area, 'family'. The results are as follows: the Korean national curriculum includes core competencies was included in the objective statement, and standards were provided as a lower-level system, while the U.S. national standards was composed of hierarchical system of comprehensive standards(higher-level), contents standards(middle-level), and competencies(lower-level). This may be attributable to the difference in the definition of competencies. The analysis results of detailed contents of the curriculum was related to the terminologies used in curriculum documents of the two countries. For example, work and family balance was frequently mentioned in Korean document, while the U.S. national curriculum just displayed multiple roles of individuals rather than using the term explicitly. Also, terms such as happiness and welfare were frequently mentioned in Korean curriculum, while 'well-being' was more frequently used in the U.S. curriculum. These differences in usage of terms reflects the differences in cultural values and perspectives of the two countries.

Introduction: Although it is well known that medical students are not getting an adequate amount of sleep, there have been only a few studies on the sleep patterns of medical students and the related factors. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the medical students' sleep patterns and the related factors. Methods: A questionnaire package was administered to the $1^{st}$ to $4^{th}$ year medical students at one medical school. It consisted of questions asking about their lifestyles as well as Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), global assessment of recent stress scale (GASS), the center for epidemiologic studies-depression scale (CES-D), and Moudsley obsessive-compulsive inventory (MOCI). A total of 352 students (206 males and 146 females) responded to the survey and the result was analyzed using the independent t-test, the chi-square test, the paired t-test, Pearson's correlation and ANOVA. p-values of less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant in analyses. Results: The weekend bedtime was significantly delayed (0 : 49 on weekday ; 1 : 34 on weekend ; t=-5.23, p<0.001), the weekend rise time was delayed (6 : 58 on weekday ; 9 : 30 on weekend ; t=-24.48, p<0.001) and the total sleep time was increased on weekends (5 : 36 on weekday ; 7 : 39 on weekend ; t=15.94, p<0.001). The PSQI score of all subjects was 6.43{\pm}2.64. PSQI was positively correlated with ESS (r=0.383, p<0.001), GASS (r=0.326, p<0.001), CES-D (r=0.393, p< 0.001), and MOCI (r=0.247, p<0.001), but not with GPA (r=0.072, p=0.228. The more senior students had lower PSQI, GASS, CES-D, and MOCI score (p<0.05). Conclusion: Medical students were experiencing a lack of sleep during weekdays as they have a later bedtime and earlier rise time, and consequently had more hours of sleep on weekends. Overall, the medical students were experiencing poor sleep quality and sleep deprivation. Poor sleep quality is associated with psychological problems (daytime sleepiness, stress, depression, and obsessive tendency).

1. 외국어로서의 영어 교육에 있어서 발음 지도는 어느 정도의 영어 수준에 도달하기를 기다릴 필요없이 가능한 한 저학년에서부터 직접 지도되어야 한다. 즉 영어 교육은 영어 발음 교육부터 시작되는 것이 가장 바람직하다. 어느 정도의 수준 높은 문법 이론을 알고 있는 (대)학생들이라도 발음에 관한 한 많은 연습이 요구되는 경우가 흔히 있다. 바꿔 말하면 이러한 학생들은 그들이 갖고 있는 문법 지식만큼 발음에 대한 적극적인 구사력도 당연히 발휘할 수 있어야할 것이다. 영어 교육을 강조할 때 문장 구조와 어휘 교육이 중요시된다면 발음 또한 조기 교육 단계부터 영어 교육 프로그램의 필수불가결한 요소로 인식되어야 한다. 그렇다면 제일 처음 무엇을 어떻게 시작 해야할 것인가\ulcorner 흔히 음소(phoneme)라는 말의 최소 단위부터 시작하여 자음군(consonant cluster)과 같은 음 결합체를 가르친 다음 단어 강세(word stress)를 다루며, 마지막으로 문장 강세(sentence stress), 리듬(rhythm), 억양(intonation) 등을 포함함 이음말(connected speech)을 가르치는 순서가 될 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 이러한 방법이 이론상 논리적이긴 하지만 실제로 영어를 외국어로 배우는 우리 학생들에게는 얼마나 효과를 거둘 수 있는지 매우 의심스렵다. 오히려 가장 유익한 순서는 기본 억양 과 같은 적절한 표현과 함께 주어진 화맥 속에서의 의미 있는 문장 강세를 가르치고 그 다음에 그에 수반되는 중요한 소리의 발음을 지적해 주는 것이다. 예를 들면 Give it to him과 같은 구조를 교사가 구두로 제시할 때 단어 하나 하나를 강조한 나머지 너무 천천히 말하게 되면 전체 문장의 발음을 오히려 어렵게 만들어버린다. 중요한 것 은 기본 의사소통에 필요한 부분에 초점을 맞추는 일이다. 개별 단어에 부수되는 문제점은 '보충 지도'(remedial teaching)로 교정이 가능하다. 2. 우리의 초등학교 영어 교육의 현황을 고려할 때 비록 발음 지도가 쉬운 일은 아니지만 미래 지향적 결과를 기대할 때 우선 두 가지를 생각할 수 있다. 첫째로 현재의 교육대학교의 교사양성에 있어서 영어교육의 교과과정을 염두에 두지 않을 수 없다. 1981년도부터 교육대학교가 4년제가 명실공히 영어과로 운영되기는 수년밖에 되지 않는 실정이다. 현재의 교과과정도 현장에서 영어교육을 담당하기에는 불충분할 뿐만 아니라 영어발음에 관한 뚜렷한 과정이 없는 실정이다. 혼히 외국인 강사가 담당하는 이른바 영어회화 시간이 곧 발음 시간도 될 수 있다고 생각하기 쉬우나 이것은 전적으로 별개의 문제이다. 따라서 체계적인 발음 교육을 할 수 있는 교과과정이 되기를 바란다. 3. 앞에서 언급했듯이 4년제 이전에 졸업한 현직 교사들은 재학 중 영어 발음에 관한 지도를 받아본 적이 없다. 여기서 중요한 것은 이들 교사들에게 적절하고도 충분한 발음 교육을 시켜야 하는 연수 과정이다. 소리로 듣고 말해야 하는 초둥 영어 교육에 서 교사의 발음에 관한 지식은 그 중요성을 아무리 과대평가해도 지나치지 않을 것이다. 문제는 연수 내용이다. 적어도 현재까지 실시되어 온 초둥영어교육 담당자 연수 교과목 내용은 핵심을 찾기 힘들 정도로 교파목이 다양하고 산만하다. 따라서 예를 들면 영어발음 지도에 관한 과목도 마지못해 끼워 넣는 식의 과목 배정이다. 여기에 고작 할당된 시간은 많아야 4시간 정도이다. 대학에서 한 학기에도 부족한 영어 발음을 아 무런 배경 지식도 없는 초등 교사들에게 4시간 동안 무엇을 어떻게 가르칠 것인가\ulcorner

The 'core concepts', 'generalized knowledge', and 'skills' are newly introduced in the 'contents system' of the 2015 revised national curriculum, and the 'skills' are not clearly defined in the science curriculum. There is a problem of uniformly presenting 'skills' in all 'areas' of science subjects. In this study, it was intended that the teachers' clear understanding of the 'skills' and the philosophy of the revised curriculum would be applied to the school classrooms through the critical problem recognition and consideration of 'skills' newly introduced in the 'contents system' of the 2105 revised science curriculum. First, we reviewed 'science and engineering practice' in the NGSS, which was a reference to the introduction to the curriculum, and identified the problems of 'skills' presented in the science curriculum. It also analyzed critically by comparing 'skills' and 'practices' with other subjects and previous curriculum. Based on this critical analysis, we suggested the following. First, introduce 'skills' items that can implement scientific key competencies, and clearly define each item. Second, present 'skills' that are appropriate according to the subject, 'area', 'core concept', and grade(group) and describe in detail how to apply 'skills' and, third, present 'skills' directly in 'achievement standards'.

The purpose of this study was to explore the direction of application and quality management plan of science curriculum of elementary and middle school according to the 2009 revised curriculum. In order to do this, nationwide survey was administered. The subject was 126 elementary school teachers and 88 middle school science teachers. It was founded that teachers had negative opinion on the introduction of the grade cluster system. They considered that it was appropriate to link the contents of Science subject with Practical Arts(Technology Home Economics) subject by similar topic. Science classes were implemented without changing the number of class hours in most schools. They recognized the necessity of differentiated instruction in science classes, but they seldom applied the differentiated instruction. And they suggested that the teaching-learning materials, evaluation materials and contents be provided to apply the STEAM. This study designates the following strategic supports for the effective implementation of 2009 revised science curriculum; 1) the science teachers training program to provide useful information for understanding and teaching the 2009 revised science curriculum, 2) the teachers' community in the school, 3) the development and provision of the feasible STEAM plans.
