The purpose of this study was to develop children-friendly comic books and animation for dietary education of 3rd or 4th grade elementary students. Through a literature review on current dietary problems and dietary education for children, 15 educational themes were chosen on both healthy eating and safe dietary life. Comic books and animation were developed based on the themes by the brainstorming and help of professional animators, and they were applied and evaluated in the field. The developed comic books and animation, with its own characters, proved to be of high quality and effective educational materials for children's healthy and safe eating. Compared with the reference group, the tested group has shown a significant improvement in dietary knowledge and attitude (p < 0.05). And both parents (level of understanding 4.29, level of interest 4.49, level of usefulness 4.46, level of design satisfaction 3.95 in 5-point Likert scale) and children (level of understanding 4.63, level of interest 4.57, level of usefulness of 1st comic book 4.44, 2nd comic book 4.49, level of design satisfaction 4.06, level of usefulness for knowledge pages 4.22 in 5-point Likert scale) have shown high levels of interests and satisfaction. Therefore, these materials could be utilized as effective educational materials for elementary students in school lunch time, extra-curricular activities, or after school programs.

This research aims to build a concept map reflecting gifted elementary students' perception on fun factors of the classes for the gifted. Data for this research was gathered through brainstorming of 80 students currently attending classes for the gifted. 10 of them were selected as focus group for classification and evaluation, and 140 gifted-class students were asked of the fun factors for level of agreement after concept map analysis. Results of the research were, first, 46 final statements about fun factors which are categorized into 6 sub-categories ('the gifted class teacher's encouragement and feedback', 'confidence and chance', 'teamwork and intimacy with gifted friends', 'fulfilling, beneficial, and rewarding feeling', 'new and special experiments', 'qualitatively different class level and learning environment'). Second, the gifted students showed highest level of agreement on 'new and special experiments' category among the 6 sub-categories. Implication of this research on the field has been discussed.

Background : Although a number of studies are related to QA improvement, there are few studies applied various method of QA tools. This study reviewed the availability of general quality assurance(QA) tools according to ten steps in performing quality improvement activities at emergency room of a tertiary teaching hospital which has more than 1,000 beds. Methods : All patients in emergency room from 15th Oct. 1997 to 5th Sep. 1998 were surveyed. The survey data based on the patient's records of emergency room were evaluated according to length of stay, and we tried to identify problems with management of emergency room. To solve the problems, our team applied general QA tools(brainstorming, flow chart, nominal group technique, benchmarking, cause-and-effect diagram, run chart, control chart) to quality improvement activities and discussed the availability of the tools. Results : After the activities such as changes of staffing, the establishment of local area network and chest pain clinic, application of triage and so on, the percentage of patient who had stayed more than six hours was reduced from 56.0% to 46.8%. The mean number of patients per day in emergency room was increased from 49 to 62. But the reporting time for laboratory test was not changed after these activities. Conclusion : Each QA tool has unique benefit and limitation, but we can implement and evaluate the quality improvement activities more scientifically and systematically by applying these tools to practice according to QA ten steps.

The purpose of the study was to examine the image types of the traditional child rearing by mothers with infancy and early childhood through Q-methodology. To conduct that, Q-group was first formed from mothers who raised their child in traditional way after their brainstorming about the method and interviewing them. Based on the subject's shared statements, Q-standard was made with 40 subjects. The 40 subjects were asked to grade each statement from one to nine and then their responses were analyzed by QUANL program. The image types were classified into 4 groups. There were 'Type 1: Relationship-oriented parenting through harmony' 'Type 2: Archetypal Parenting based on the Korean traditional values,' 'Type 3: Practice-oriented Parenting to respect life,' and 'Type 4: Attachment Parenting modern variants necessary.' This study serves as a momentum to see the impact of traditional child rearing on modern child upbringing by examining mother's viewpoints on traditional child rearing.

According to the recent systemic changes such as construction market reduction, five days per week system, introduction of construction duration reduction bidding system and post-construction sale system, the bidding competition have been enhanced. However, there are many construction schedule risks which could delay construction completion. Without the proper identification of construction schedule risks and the structured construction schedule risk management, the competitive advantages of construction project could not be made. Previous researches to solve the problem have been focused on the construction schedule categorization, construction schedule management, and the system development to manage the construction schedule risk. Therefore, this study selected the reinforeced concrete construction as the studied work due to the major impact characteristics on the total construction duration and the quite accident rate, and then proposed the real construction schedule risks of reinforced concrete construction and the construction risk management method based on the previous studies, many times of expert interviews and brainstorming.

Next, practical designing was performed to achieve the creative designs according to Lamb & Kallal's design process. and the superiority of the newly designed swimming suits was evaluated by using Grant's alpha-beta model. The results of this study can be summarized as follows : First. in the problem apprehension stage. the need for swimming suit designs with Korean traditional images for professional swimmers was acknowledged, and three major criteria. which are functionality, aesthetics. and symbolism has been verified. Second. in the preliminary brainstorming stage, considerable amounts of data for the design concept considering the criteria above have been gathered. The athletic one-piece for women and the brief for men in style and nylon/lycra in fabric were used in the aspect of functionality. And the S Korean traditional colors in color and Tae-guk motive and others in pattern were selected to apply Korean traditional images in the aspects of aesthetics and symbolism. Finally, the 13 series of creative designs with 4 themes( l17pieces in total) have been suggested. Third, in the design improvement stage. after the preference to each design was surveyed, reformation of the designs was arranged on the basis of the results. Fourth, in the prototyping stage. the 17 actual prototypes, including 13 pieces for women and 4 pieces for men were produced. Fifth. in the evaluation stage. the evaluation procedure using Grant's alpha-beta model was performed.
