The present study examined the role of dialogue journaling in Korean students' English writing development. Thirteen Korean middle school students participated in a five-week dialogue journal writing program. The participants' English writing skills before and after their dialogue journaling were compared in terms of holistic and analytical scores of their English essays. The study also examined the changes in the participants' language use, as manifested in their dialogue journals. The results indicated the positive influence of dialogue journal writing on the participants' English writing skills in the areas of content and lexical fluency. As for the linguistic evidence that related dialogue journaling to English writing development, the three patterns of change in language use emerged from the participants' dialogue journals: a) raised awareness on grammar conventions, b) raised awareness on discourse conventions, and c) increased depth and richness in idea development. There were also three unhelpful factors associated with little improvement of English writing: a) lack in basic writing skills, b) repetitive use of identical sentence patterns, and c) lack in grammatical and lexical awareness. Overall, the results suggested that dialogue journaling could facilitate Korean students' English writing development when it creates authentic communicative interactions between the teacher and students.

This paper suggests the product supply process model based on the store and production capacity, assortment planning and quick response for fast fashion retailers with BPMN. In the fast fashion industry, the standardized business process model is required to respond quickly market trends and customer requirements based on the quantitative and qualitative criteria. Thus we define the product supply processes which incorporate forecasting and assortment plan, cost and profitability of the production, store capacity based on the visual merchandising, and production capacity of the fast fashion retailers. Also we design the key performance indicators to evaluate the effectiveness of these product supply processes. The product supply process model for the fast fashion has great significance in embracing the fast fashion product development process because it presents the holistic view of the product supply process of the fast fashion and provides a performance evaluation mechanism. A case study shows that adopting the processes, a Korean fast fashion company achieves improvement in various performance indicators.

The reference study was performed to investigate the nursing importance which was based a theoretical background related to horticultural therapy and to examine the possibility which horticultural therapy was applicable as a nursing intervention through analysis on a preceding study. The research subjects related to the areas of horticultural therapy which related as a nursing intervention, were psychological, physical, environmental, and psycho-social aspects. It is judged that the horticultural therapy is effective in treating depression, emotional disruption or anxiety. It seems to be also effective in increasing the muscular tension and, thereby, expanding the scope of joint movements. Such theories show that horticultural therapy may be a good alternative nursing means. Plants act to create a pleasant interior atmosphere by generating anion, controlling the temperature and humidity and purifying the air, and therefore, the horticultural therapy may be applied to clinic or environmental therapy. When horticultural therapy is used as a nursing intervention, patients' sociopsychological needs may be fulfilled. It has been found that horticultural therapy is instrumental in treating perceptive or emotional disruption, depression, loss of self-respect, disrupted everyday activities and social behaviors. In particular, horticultural therapy seems to be effective in managing chronic patients' crisis or improving life quality. Intervention method applied on a preceding study was activity therapy and scene therapy in the horticultural therapy The above findings suggest that the pro-environmental horticultural therapy is useful as a new paradigm of nursing or holistic nursing conducive to improvement of health. So, it is desirable to prove its effects by applying it in the clinic. In order to apply horticultural therapy as a nursing intervention, it will be necessary to educate nurses on principles and methods of horticultural therapy and encourage them to apply it in nursing and clinics. Moreover, it may well be necessary to develop landscape therapy as nursing intervention as well as a variety of horticultural therapy programs befitting the clinic conditions. On the other hand, we need to provide for some scientific ground for horticultural therapy through continued studies. In this regard, this study which focuses on patients' health improvement through change of environment. may well provide for a framework for such studies.

최근 과학기술혁신정책은 그 목표와 영역이 확대되면서 사회 환경 복지 노동 에너지 등 다른 정책 분야와의 결합이 활발해지고 있다. 특히 이명박 정부는 "저탄소 녹색성장"을 주요 국정 과제로 제시하면서 그동안 개별적으로 진행되어 온 과학기술, 환경, 사회, 자원 에너지 등 관련 정책간의 연계 통합이 핵심 과제가 되고 있다. 정책통합은 본질적으로 서로 다른 영역에서의 정책을 하나의 정책으로 묶어주는 것으로 정책의 본질적인 특성인 복잡성 시스템적 특성을 실제 정책과정에 반영하려는 노력이다. 또한 정책통합 과정에서 장기적인 비전의 공유를 강조함으로써 정부 전체의 효율성과 목표달성에 기여하도록 하는 것이다. 향후 우리나라가 나아가야 할 미래를 종합적으로 준비 설계해 나가기 위해서는 미래 예측 기능 강화와 더불어 장기적인 미래상을 바탕으로 현재를 끊임없이 준비해 나갈 필요가 있다. 특히 최근 과학기술혁신은 모든 사회변화의 기반이 되고 사회문제를 적극적으로 해결할 수 있는 핵심요소로 등장하면서, 각 부처가 소관정책에 투입하는 과학기술적 정책수단에 대해 관련 부처가 공유하고 종합적으로 검토하며 필요시 조정 통합될 수 있도록 하는 새로운 정책적 접근이 요구된다. 이와 함께 각 부처에서 각개약진 식으로 진행되고 있는 개별적이고 파편화된 정책 중 공통적 요소는 통합적인 전략으로 묶어 낼 수 있도록 하는 '정책통합'을 정책과정에 반영하거나 조직적 접근을 추가하는 경우 국가 전체적 정책효율은 제고될 수 있을 것이다. 이러한 접근은 영국 호주핀란드 등 선진국에서 최근 도입하는 통합형 정부형태에서도 볼 수 있고, 1990년대 이후 등장한 환경정책담론과도 유사하다. 우리나라의 정책결정 문화의 틀에서 부처할거주의와 수직적 의사결정의 문제점을 극복하고 과학기술적 접근의 비중을 높이며 정책효율을 제고하는 방법으로 정책통합의 방법을 제시하고 이에 필요한 정책과제를 제시하였다.

문화예술교육은 유아의 전인적 발달을 도와 언어능력과 창의적인 사고력을 증진시키고 정서지능을 함양시킬 뿐만아니라 다양한 시각으로 사물을 바라보고 다양한 문화를 이해할 수 있게 하는데 많은 효과가 있었음이 검증되면서 최근에 문화예술교육의 관심은 유아기 예술경험의 중요성과 더불어 예술능력발달에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 수준 높은 문화예술교육은 폭넓은 문화예술의 소양과 감각을 지닌 교사와 문화예술전문가의 긴밀한 협력을 바탕으로 정규수업에서 통합적인 영역을 다루는 것이 가장 바람직 한 일이다. 그러므로 유아교사 양성에 있어서 강화된 문화예술교육을 포함하는 것은 유아문화예술교육의 중요성으로 볼 때 매우 필요한 일이 아닐 수 없다. 4년제 대학의 교과과정 분석으로 예비유아교사 양성교육기관에서 유아교사의 문화예술 전문성을 높일 수 있는 교과과정의 개선과 특성화 방안을 제안해 보면, 유아교사의 문화예술역량 향상을 위해 문화예술능력의 기준과 이수교과목을 제도적으로 규정하고 문화예술전문가에 의한 교육으로 문화예술교과의 확대와 통합교과목을 개발하는 것이 필요하다. 현대사회가 지향하는 인재양성을 위하여 문화예술교육은 유아기 때부터 지속적으로 이루어질 때 그 효력이 발생할 수 있으며 유아문화예술교육은 유아의 예술적 체험을 통한 전인적인 인격형성이 목적이기에 유아교사의 양성과정에서 제도적으로 문화예술교육을 강화하고 문화예술영역에 소양과 감각을 기를 수 있는 체험교육이 이루어져야 한다. 향 후 각 유아교사 양성기관에서는 예술문화의 수용력과 해득력을 높일 수 있는 진정한 문화예술교육이 이루어지도록 폭넓은 문화예술교과의 연계와, 융합 등에 대한 개선적인 연구가 절실히 필요한 것이다.

This paper deals with analyzing accreditation findings and the causes for the deficiencies in the review by the EAC(Engineering Accreditation Committee) of ABEEK in 2014. For this purpose Final Statements of the 266 engineering education programs reviewed by the EAC of ABEEK in 2014 were analyzed on the basis of the each criterion. However, Accreditation Criterion 8(Program Criterion) was excluded in the analysis of the causes for the deficiencies since the program-specific requirements within areas of specialization might vary with the program criteria. As results of accreditation review by the EAC of ABEEK, Deficiency findings were 81 cases which made up 3.81% of total findings, Weakness findings were 1,679 which made up 78.91% of total findings, Concern findings were 124 cases which made up 5.83% of total findings, and Satisfaction findings were 244 cases which made up 11.47% of total findings. Deficiency and Weakness findings against which the relevant program must take actions for the improvement were 82.71% in all. The findings on program accreditation are made on the basis of the Accreditation Actions Guide. Accordingly, in view of formal logic in the accreditation review, the accreditation findings should comply with the Accreditation Actions Guide consistently. In this respect, the Deficiency findings in the accreditation review can be justified. So it is useful for a program or an institution which prepares for the accreditation review to check over the causes for the Deficiency against the Accreditation Actions Guide. On the other hand changeover in the accreditation policy of the ABEEK may be necessary. If the quality of the engineering education is improved continuously through the accreditation review, accreditation fulfills its purpose. To gain this end it is important to place higher value on the 'bigger picture' than on the minor details. In other words, "holistic" evaluation of evidence should form the basis of accreditation review.

In this paper we have tackled the outstanding inventory planning problems over new product launching period in a more holistic manner by addressing first the definition of efficient business rules to effectively control and reduce the inventory risks followed by the rigorous explanations on the implementation guide on suggested inventory planning rules. It is not unusual for many companies in the consumer electronics market to make a great effort to reduce the time to launch a new product because the ability to bring out higher performing products in such a short time period greatly increases the probability for them to remain competitive in the high tech market. Among so many newly developed products, those products with new features and technologies appeal to many potential customers while products which fail to win customers by design and prices rapidly disappear in the market. To adapt to this business environment, those companies have been trying to find the answer to minimize the inventory of old products so they can move to next generation products quickly with less obsolete material. In the experimental implementation of our rule-based inventory planning, Company 'S' reduced the inventory cost for the outgoing products as low as 49% of its peak level of its preceding product version in just 5 month after the adoption of rule-based inventory planning process and system. This paper concluded the subject with a suggestion that the best performance of rule-based inventory planning is guaranteed not from one-time campaign of process improvement along with system development but the decision maker's continuing support and attention even without seeing any upcoming business crisis.
