Korean 7th national curriculum gave the right to elect the advanced subject such as physics II, chemistry II. Students could elect the subject by their aptitude and interest. But, actually, the choice was constrained by school circumstances such as the number of teacher and the number of class. high school students. We investigated the demand about school science and perception about scientifically specialized high school in which the students could have all advanced science subjects by the survey of 336 middle school students including 148 students in the science education center for the gifted, 220 high school students, and 70 science teachers in capital region. As results of this study, most of the high school opened chemistry and biology advanced subjects, but only 37.1% of them opend physics advanced subject. This constrained students' right of elect the subject by their interest. While most of middle school and high school students normally demanded the more experiment in the class and the easier science content, the students in the science education center for the gifted demanded more science class time. The students who wanted to have science career had very positive recognition of scientifically specialized high school and science teachers agreed to running the scientifically specialized high school.

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of the distributed leadership upon kindergarten teachers' commitment of teachers. As a result of the analysis, first, the teachers' recognition on the distributed leadership at a kindergarten was confirmed to have a significant difference depending on the teaching career and the academic background. And the commitment of teachers perceived by the kindergarten teachers was identified to have a statistically significant difference according to the teaching career, academic background, and scale. Second, the kindergarten situation and the teacher leadership among sub-factors of the distributed leadership were indicated to have a positive effect on the commitment of teachers. Especially, the teacher leadership was confirmed to have a positive impact on the whole of professional consciousness, educational love, and passion, which are sub-factors in the commitment of teachers. What the distributed leadership has a positive influence upon the commitment of teachers at a kindergarten can be known to be ultimately the time when a teacher oneself fully recognizes responsibility, influence, and authority with thinking that a teacher oneself is a leader, rather than a director's leadership. Accordingly, a director's many responsibilities and authorities need to be properly entrusted so that the kindergarten teachers can display much more leadership.

The purpose of this study is to develop an engineer competency model using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to improve the national technical qualification system. Korea has managed technical human resources at the government level through the operation of a national technical qualification system that certifies engineers with national certificates or technical grades by laws. However, there have been increasing concerns that the government system is separated from global standards and does not reflect an engineer's comprehensive capabilities. For these reasons, the new architecture of the system has been continuously discussed and becomes a major policy issue of the Korean government. For the development of the engineer competency model, domestic and global models were separately structured using 554 valid questionnaires with a consistency ratio (CR) of 0.1 or less. The relative importance of engineer competency factors in a domestic model was career (0.383), qualification (0.253), academic degree (0.195), and job training (0.169) whereas the order in the global model was career (0.308), global ability (0.237), job training (0.175), domestic qualification (0.147), and academic degree (0.134). The results of AHP analysis indicated that the evaluation factors and methods recognized by engineers were different from a current government model focusing on domestic qualifications. There was also perceptual difference in the importance of engineer evaluation factors between groups depending on the type of organizations and markets. This means that it is necessary to reflect the characteristics of organizations and markets when evaluating engineer competency. Based on AHP analysis and literature reviews, this paper discussed how to develop a new engineer competency index (ECI) and presented two effective index models verified by simulation test using 59,721 engineers' information. Lastly, the paper discussed major findings of our empirical research and proposed policy alternatives for the improvement of a national engineer qualification system. The paper contributes to the management of technical human resources since it provides quantitative competency models that are objectively developed by reflecting market recognition and can be effectively used by the policy makers or firms.

This study aims to compare the difference between the recognition of professionalism and teaching efficacy of the gifted education teacher by majoring in education for the gifted from the graduate school. The subjects were 44 graduate students in gifted education major and 56 gifted education teachers of elementary school who did not major in the education for the gifted. The results were as follows. First, the education for the gifted children majors showed higher statistical significance in the subject knowledge, the instructional strategies, the understanding gifted student, personal efficacy and outcome expectancy than the teacher who did not major in the education for the gifted children (p<.05). Second, in the results of Two-Way ANOVA by the major status in education for the gifted children and the gender, there was the interaction effects in the subject knowledge, the understanding gifted student, personal efficacy, and the females were influenced by the recognition of professionalism and teaching efficacy by the major status in education for the gifted children more than males. In the results of analysis on the major status in education for the gifted children and career for gifted education, the instructional strategies and personal efficacy showed the significant interaction effect (p<.05). Third, in the results of analysis on the relations between the recognition of professionalism and the teaching efficacy, all subordinate scopes of the recognition of professionalism and teaching efficacy showed the significant positive correlation (p<.05). In the results of the multiple regression analysis, the subject knowledge and the instructional strategies have effects on the personal efficacy. So the majoring in education for the gifted children from the graduate school may have significant effects on development of the subject knowledge and the professionality of the instructional strategies of the gifted education teacher, further, it can be said that has positive effect on teaching efficacy.

This article is a theoretical and empirical study of engineering and gender, and also explores the policy development of WIE program. WIE in Korea aims to foster talented women engineers through the introduction of gender-sensitive engineering education system, field-adaptive skill improvements of women students, and industry-university collaborations. This study examines gender perspectives to analyze our WIE program. It is important to recognize that it's not enough to acquire institutional and structural equity in developing women in engineering. Above all, we should note our situations that has frustrated women's career development in engineering. In university education, we need to improve the engineering faculty's recognition of gender equity. Efforts to establish the professional identity of women engineers, involvement of men and women students, and building of women engineers' network are necessary elements to implement successful WIE program. Additionally, we discuss that policy support to WIE program should be continued and enlarged in university level.
