The totality of language learning comprises three integrated components: linguistic, cultural, and attitudinal (Wilkes, 1983).Positively sensitizing students to cultural phenomena is urgent and crucial. A positive attitude toward L2 culture is a factor in language learning that leads to cross cultural understanding. This research examined, through a survey analysis, how three groups of students (one high school group and two university student groups) viewed the role of their foreign culture (i.e., American and British cultures) in achieving cultural understanding. The focus was upon how EFL learners approach the target language culture as well as their own culture.

일반인의 목재에 대한 인식개선은 목재이용 확대를 통한 목재문화 정착이라는 목표를 달성하기 위하여 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 목재문화 활성화를 위한 전략마련을 위한 기초연구로 일반인의 목재문화 체험현황과 요구사항에 대하여 설문조사를 수행하였다. 조사항목은 목재문화 인식, 목재문화 이용현황, 목재문화에 대한 선호와 요구, 목재문화의 하위분야 인식, 목재문화 자원에 대한 인식, 목재이용 트렌드, 목재관련 생활환경 등 7가지로 분류하였으며, 조사결과를 목재와 문화체험에 대한 인식, 유형별 목재문화자원에 대한 인식, 생활환경과 목재이용 트렌드, 목재문화에 대한 선호와 요구의 4가지로 구분하였다. 본 연구에서는 4가지로 구분된 항목 중 일반인의 목재와 문화체험에 대한 인식을 분석하였다. 일반인은 목재와 목재문화에 대하여 재료, 문화유산, 친환경 등의 이미지를 갖고 있으나 2가지를 크게 구분하지는 않았다. 목재이용은 인간의 신체와 정신에 긍정적 영향을 미친다고 판단하고 있으나 목재의 활용이 산림을 파괴하는 것이라는 인식을 응답자의 45%가 갖고 있었다. 또한 목재와 관련된 직업은 기술자 또는 기능인이라는 인식을 갖고 있으며, 목재교육전문가와 같은 교육자로서의 인지도는 상대적으로 낮게 조사되었다. 목재문화와 관련된 주요사업에 대한 인지도는 응답자의 50%에 미치지 못하였다. 응답자의 30%가 목공체험을 포함한 목재교육에 참여한 경험이 있었으며 대부분 수공구를 이용한 경험이 있었다. 목재문화프로그램을 통해 제작하고 싶은 것은 가구류, 소품류, 건축물 등이 있었다. 목재문화체험장에 대하여 알고 있는지에 대해 응답자의 23%가 인지하고 있다고 응답하였으며 이들 중 방문경험이 있는 경우는 약 50%이었다. 목재교육 전문가에게 요구되는 역량으로는 목공기술에 대한 응답률이 73%로 제일 높게 측정되었다. 일반인의 목재에 대한 인식을 개선하기 위하여 현대인은 체험에서 교육적 요소보다 오락적 요소를 중요하게 생각한다는 점을 고려할 필요가 있다. 보다 많은 일반인에게 목재문화 체험의 기회를 제공하기 위하여 오락적 요소를 포함한 다양한 콘텐츠의 개발과 이에 대한 적극적인 홍보가 필요하다고 판단된다.

문화유산은 민족의 삶과 지역성을 함축하고 있는 역사적 상징이다. 한중경계의 압록강과 두만강 지역에는 다양한 민족의 문화유산이 분포하고 있다. 이에 한중간의 경계에 분포하고 있는 문화유산에 대한 연구는 우리 민족의 정체성과 역사적 문화의식을 확립하고 이를 교육적으로 활용하기 위해서 매우 중요하고 시급한 연구과제이다. 그러나 중국이 고구려의 문화유산을 세계문화유산으로 등재하고 동북공정을 본격적으로 추진하면서 고구려와 발해 뿐 아니라 조선시대와 근현대의 역사문제와 문화유산을 둘러싸고 우리나라와 갈등을 야기하고 있다. 본 연구는 한중경계지역의 문화유산에 대하여 문헌학적인 연구보다는 박물관에서 시각적인 자료활용과 교육학습의 연계를 위하여 문화사적 인문경관의 전시콘텐츠 구축과 이를 활용한 교육적 학습방안을 찾아 보았다. 이러한 연구결과를 통하여 근대국가에 대한 영토인식 뿐 아니라 세계문화유산에 대한 중요성을 인식할 수 있으며 동북공정에 대한 실질적인 이해를 학습할 수 있다. 그리고 웹이나 앱의 구축을 통한 역사 문화 관광자원으로 활용할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 박물관의 전시자료를 활용한 학습프로그램에 따라 동북지역에 대한 한중간의 문화적 특징을 이해할 수 있다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the cultural competency of elementary school nurses. Methods: Data were collected from a convenience sample of 109 school nurses who were recruited from elementary schools across three large cities in South Korea. The daata were analyzed with independent t-tests, a one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: School nurses who had experience caring for multicultural students showed a significant difference in the cultural competency (t=8.75, p=.004). Factors affecting their cultural competency were awareness of multicultural families (${\beta}=.17$, p=.006) and transcultural self-efficacy (${\beta}=.69$, p<.001), which explained 58.6% of the total variance. Conclusion: The findings suggest that it is necessary to provide more training and educational programs for school nurses to improve their awareness of multiculcural families, including interventions to enhance transcultural self-efficacy, in order to enhance their cultural competence and to help them provide tailored care for multicultural students with diverse cultural backgrounds.

Despite the perceived significance of cross-cultural studies in environmental education, only few of this kind have been conducted in Korea because of several barriers such as additional communicative, fanancial and administrative efforts. This cross-cultural study was conducted to examine if there were any significant differences in environmental awareness and attitude toward current environmental issues. The results revealed that the American subjects appeared to be more concerned with environmental issues, have higher willingness to act, and have more internalized Locus of Control than the Korean subjects. Similar observations have been reported by Horsley's(1984) study that compared environmental attitudes among students from 10 different countries. This study, however, suggested possibility of alternative interpretations of the results from the perspective of social- and cultural pscyhology.

Few instruments are available to measure nurses' perceptions of cultural competence in South Korea. Furthermore, the equivalence of factors between original and translated instruments has not been evaluated. The specific aims of this study were to identify the validity and reliability of a Korean version of the Cultural Awareness Scale (K-CAS) and to evaluate the equivalence of factors between the original CAS and the K-CAS. A total of 515 nursing students completed the 26-item K-CAS, 28-item Caffrey Cultural Competence in Healthcare Scale (CCCHS), and eight-item Openness to Diversity and Challenge Scale (ODCS). The K-CAS exhibited good reliability (${\alpha}=.83$) and construct validity by correlating with the CCCHS (r=.344, p<.001) and ODCS (r=.394, p<.001). Confirmatory factor analysis results of the K-CAS confirmed the same factor structure as the original CAS. The K-CAS could be a useful tool to assess the concept of cultural competence among nursing students and nurses.

In contemporary times, there is an increasing demand for a dedicated healthcare environment, all over the world. The main motivation for this demand is the level of awareness manifested by the users and reflected on their expectations. Therefore new research strategies and design actions are investigated in order to answer to the users' needs and to provide objective design tools for the specialist. This study continues a series of previous developments of the Healthcare Environment Color Index that should be used for public facilities in Korea and abroad. The cross-cultural approach is a new opportunity for exchanging know-how and for testing and calibrating the perception of the users on the color index. The gathering of results was made based on the online survey provided in this phase in English version for the Romanian users. The survey was intended as an objective mean of research and an efficient way of disseminating information on the subject thus contributing to increasing the level of awareness of the users. A total of 86 Romanian and 89 Koreans with valid answers took part in the survey. Comparative visualizations of the results showed significant similarities concerning the patterns of color preferences but also cultural and emotional differences. As a result both categories of users proved to be aware of the relation between healthcare environment color and its effects on health. They also showed a common understanding on the potential of the color index. As a result the most appealing colors to be applied to the healthcare environment were the series G and B, and the most effective ones were proved to be the ranges of high lightness and low saturation but also the medium high lightness and medium saturation. Both the similarities and the differences of choice between Romanians and Koreans show that cultural and emotional differences of color recognition are important and that should be taken into consideration in design, in order to generate an inclusive and efficient healthcare environment.

The purpose of this study is to identify cross-cultural features among Korea, China, and Japan by comparing differences in facial awareness, attractiveness preferences, and consideration of facial parts in a group of Korean, Chinese, and Japanese men and women as they evaluated the faces of Korean women in their 20s. A survey was conducted targeting male and female Korean, Chinese, and Japanese college students in their 20s. Frequency analysis, ANOVA, Duncan test, factorial analysis, and reliability analysis, MANOVA were carried out using SPSS 18.0. The results of this study are as follows: Faces of Korean women in their 20s were evaluated by Korean, Chinese, and Japanese men and women in their 20s and were classified into four categories as 'Youthfulness', 'Classiness', 'Friendliness' and 'Activeness'. Differences in facial image awareness were observed depending on nationality and gender. Korean participants were found to place importance on overall morphological factors; The Japanese focused on the eyes; and the Chinese on the skin color. Women of all nationalities showed, on average, a higher awareness of facial parts than men. No significant differences in facial attractiveness preferences were found based on nationality or gender, but there were differences in how the participants evaluated faces for attractiveness, showing that reasons for preferences may vary even if the preferences are the same.

Purpose: This study evaluated the effect of a teaching model to improve cultural competency (TMCC) for Korean undergraduate nursing students. Methods: A nonequivalent control group pretest/posttest quasi-experimental study was conducted with a convenience sample of 168 undergraduate nursing students in South Korea. The experimental group of 121 seniors was taught a 13-week teaching model in order to improve cultural competence. A control group with 47 junior students underwent nursing major courses, but did not take this teaching model. Before and after the program, students' level of cultural competency was measured using the Questionnaire for Cultural Competence (QCC) consisting of three sub-scales: "awareness and desire," "encounter," and "nursing skill and knowledge." Results: After the experiment, the experimental group showed significantly higher improvement in the Questionnaire for Cultural Competence in the three sub-scales of "awareness and desire," "encounter," and "nursing skill and knowledge" than the control group (p=<.050). Conclusion: A teaching model to improve cultural competence was effective in improving Korean undergraduate nursing students' cultural competency. Further studies need to be repeated in order to identify the effectiveness of the teaching model to improve cultural competency with graduate or clinical nurses.
