This study analyzed research trends in the field of Practical Arts (Technology & Home Economics) education. From 958 articles published between 2010 and 2018 in the Journal of Korean Practical Arts Education (JKPAE), Journal of Korean Home Economics Education Association (JHEEA), and Korean Journal of Technology Education Association (KJTEA), 958 keywords were extracted and analyzed using NetMiner 4. When the general network structure was analyzed, keywords such as practical arts education, curriculum, textbook, home economics education, and students were high in the degree centrality and closeness centrality, and textbook, practical arts education, curriculum, student, home economics education, and invention were high in the node betweenness centrality. The cluster analysis showed that a four-cluster solution was most appropriate: cluster 1, technology and experiential learning activities; cluster 2, curriculum studies and practical problem; cluster 3, relationships; and cluster 4, creativity and character education. The three journals showed differences in the knowledge network structure: The topics of JKPAE and JKHEEA focused on general content knowledge and curriculum, while the topics of KJTEA were spread across invention and creativity education, and curriculum studies.

This study is a qualitative study that analyzes the achievements and tasks of the cluster curriculum through the experiences of high school students who participated in the health cluster curriculum. As a result of the study, topics such as "Best Choice in a Competitive Environment," "Change in Health Perception," "Desire to Experience Various Health Worlds," "Limits in Non-regular Curriculum Operation," and "Feel Good Imagination" were derived. Through this study, students who participated in the cluster curriculum changed their perception of health positively, and confidence in career setting and career decision-making was improved through acquiring information on health care. However, supplementing the curriculum content in the specialized fields of health care, including classes and practice, was found to be a task to be improved. It is suggested that policy alternatives for career education should be developed by sharing the achievements and tasks raised in this study.

As following four steps, we can make a development about Model-Curriculum of Interior Architecture by an approach of occupational cluster in a College. Step. 1.Selecting of an occupational cluster in which students want to get a job. Step 2. Abstracting and analyzing about occupation , job and task of occupational cluster. Step.3. Selecting of courses by the systematization of occupation, job and task. Step.4. Selecting the goals of instruction in Interior Architecture. Through the above steps, the change of occupation has been promoted among occupational cluster by the development of curriculum based on the planning of Interior Architecture which has the widest range of job and task.

This study is a one group pretest-posttest design study to confirm changes in career choice commitment, career decision-making self-efficacy, and career maturity before and after high school students participate in the Gyeonggi-do health cluster curriculum. The study was conducted on 47 second grade high school students who participated in health clusters of 3 high schools in Gyeonggi-do. The study was conducted from March 8, 2021 to December 29, 2021, and data collection was conducted through a self-reported questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 with frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, and paired t-test. As a result of the study, high school students who participated in the health cluster curriculum improved their career choice commitment(t=-9.01, p<.001), career decision-making self-efficacy(t=-8.45, p<.001), and career maturity(t=-3.63, p=<.002) statistically significantly after participation. Through the results of this study, a standardized program of the health cluster curriculum that can improve the level of career decision-making of high school students should be developed.

Intelligence Fusion cluster is a interdisciplinary program which consists of school of electrical, electronics, and communication, school of computer science and engineering, school of architecture and architectural engineering, and department of industrial design engineering. To make an effective management plan for intelligence fusion cluster, we surveyed students and faculty members who belong to the cluster. A management plan was derived based on this survey. The plan was presented in two ways: by curriculum improvement and research vitalization.

Patient safety is achieved through systematic improvement based on the knowledge and willingness of medical professionals. A systematic longitudinal curriculum for patient safety is essential to prepare medical students and professionals. The purpose of this article is to introduce our experience with a 'workshop for developing a patient safety curriculum' and to compare the results with previous studies. The workshop comprising 15 medical professors and patient safety experts met for 2 days. The Consensus Workshop method was applied, collecting opinions from all of the members and reaching consensus through the following stages: context, brainstorm, cluster, name, and resolve. The patient safety curriculum was developed by this method, covering patient safety topics and issues, and teaching and assessment methods. A total of 7 topics were extracted, 'activities for patient safety, concepts of patient safety, leadership and teamwork, error disclosure, self-management, patient education, policies.' Issues, teaching methods, and assessment methods were developed for each topic. The patient safety curriculum developed from the workshop was similar to previous curricula developed by other institutions and medical schools. The Consensus Workshop method proved to be an effective approach to developing a patient safety curriculum.

In the 2015 revised math curriculum, core competencies have been embodied and presented as skills and achievement standards. In this study, I analyzed aspects of the link between competencies, skills and achievement standards in the 2015 revised mathematics curriculum for elementary schools. According to the study, six mathematics curriculum competencies were presented evenly as 'skills' in each content area of elementary school, but reflected some of the sub-components of the curriculum, and some of them were presented as 'skills' but not as 'achievement standards'. In addition, the types of skills reflected in the achievement standards varied greatly by content area, but a few of specific skills such as 'understand' were found to be highly emphasized. Based on this, several implications were derived to further improve the implementation of competencies. First, 'skill' should be presented in a more systematic way and with more validity of extraction. Second, the extent to which competencies are presented in the achievement standards should be discussed. Third, Mathematics skills should be presented differently by grade(cluster) in achievement standards, 'Guidelines for Teaching and Learning' and 'Guidelines for Assesment'. Fourth, competencies related to content shall be presented separately and in detail.

The purpose of the study was to examine the vocational educational system of Egypt, focusing on the effectiveness of the three consecutive cycle-based curriculum and integrated technical education clusters (ITECs) in order to suggest some implications for innovating the current vocational education system of Korea. The vocational education system of Egypt is similar to that of Korea, in terms of general education to go to university and vocational education to go to labor market. However, the Egyptian system is different from the system of Korea in light of the three consecutive cycle-based curriculum that links secondary vocational education, vocational education of college level, and advanced technical and vocational education. In addition, the Egyptian system has adopted the "cluster" approach which integrates technical secondary school, intermediate technical college, and advanced technical college around one physical area so as to promote vocational education in collaboration with regional industries and to guarantee education quality. In the last part, some potential implications were suggested for upgrading the quality of vocational education of Korea based upon the benchmark results of the Egyptian vocational education system and career development of students.
