The primary purpose of this research paper is to study the nutrition intake status of high school students and their physical growth and development. Further, it made an attempt to find and define nutritional problems and assist in their growth and development through proper nutritional management. One hundred students in both sexes, first year grade in senior high school were provided with questionnaires. For six days the respondents filled out the questionnaires. They were asked to keep record of what they ate each meal. Their nutritional intake were analyzed in accordance with what they ate. Findings, conducted on percentage, CR test, t test, and F test, were as follows: 1. For the living circumstance a) Average numbers of brother and sister in sampled family were four. b) Seventy to eighty percent of the students were brought up by mother's milk at their infants and approximately 40% of students were weaned at the age of 7 to 18 months. c) Fifty percent of the respondents revealed irregulity in their meal time. d) Monthly average expenditure for daily food reached $20{\sim}40%$ out of total income. e) The most favorite foods reflect as follows: The most favorite main dish is boiled rice and side dish beaf. Fruits. juice, milk, ice cream are more popular snack among whole students. 2. Nutrition survey a) Calory sad nutrients were found to be below the recommended level, especially in calcium, vitamins A, $B_2$ and C. b) The total calory intake were composed of 73% from carbohydrate, 14% from protein and 13% from fat in the case of boys. The girls were 65%, 14%, 21% respectively. c) Both boys and girls in their animal protein intake averaged about 33% out of total protein intake. d) Meat consumption of the majority respondents were proportionate in $10{\sim}20%$ in their total food consumption. 3. The result of statistical analysis were as follows: a) Statistical significant differences in the relationship between the calory intake and physical growth index were observed at the level of p<0.05. b) Statistical significant differences in the relationship between the protein intake and physical growth index were observed at the level of p<0.05. c) Statistical significant differences in the relationship between meal time and physical growth index were observed at the level of 0.02<0.05. d) No statistical significant differences in the relationship among calory, protein intake and school records as well as intelligence were found. The experiment indicated that there is a direct relationship between nutrition and the physical growth and development, whereas There seems to be an indirect relationship between nutrition and intelligence.

This study aims at seeking the effective career guidance and operational plan. We collected data from questionaries to 305 students of vocational school, and 135 students on vocational course for the recognition of and request for vocational home economics curriculum. Collected data were analysed by frequency, percentage, and X(sup)2, and SPSS/PC(sup)+ program are used for the statistical analysis. 1. The main considerations of students in their decision of course were the accessibility of getting a job, or a higher education aptitude, interest, and so on. They made their own decision in choosing their course, relatively were satisfied with their choices. As for the course after graduation they hoped to come by a job related to their major in order to have3 an opportunity for further education, and teachers stood up for the large extent to which their students are satisfied with vocational training by answering that there would be higher possibility of using their major. 2 The results of the investigation into the desirable home economics vocational training in future showed that students of vocational schools desired for the scientific teaching and learning method. Students on vocational curse requested that the educational system should be supported. And new curricula were those for gerontology. interior design, and cookery and bakery.

This paper aims to examine how well university students, who are going to be primary school teachers, understand the International System of Units (SI), focusing on seven basic units such as 'm', '㎏', '㏖', 'A', 'K', 's', 'cd'. This study specifically investigates whether the students know the seven units and understand their uses and how they read and learn them. The subjects were 1030 students from the University of Education in Jinju, Geongsangnamdo. Data was collected through a questionnaire which was designed by this researcher and checked by an authority, and the frequency and percentage of reponses to each question were obtained and analysed. Findings show all the students knew very well that 'm' and '㎏' are included in the seven units, compared to the others which low percentage of the students considered as the elements. In terms of understanding of use, the units of the length 'm', the mass '㎏', and the time 's' are well understood, presumably, because they are often used in ordinary life and school, while the amount of substance '㏖', the electric current 'A', the thermodynamic temperature 'K', and the luminous intensity 'cd' are not as well understood. It is probably because 'A', 'cd', and 'K' are hardly used in everyday life. With respect to reading the units, the subjects read 'm', '㎏', '㏖', and's' much better than the others. As for the source of learning them, most students answered they learned them in schools, which implies school education is very important. From these results it is concluded that school education should be accompanied with use in everyday life for understanding and using the units. SI Base Units understanding was investigated by an academic year. According to this investigation, generally the right answer rate differed 4<2<3<1 by an academic year in order. For the Senior, Sophomore appeared the right answer rate more high. because, they learned before in deepening or elementary course on chemistry and physics related with SI Base Units. On the other hand, for the junior answered low rate by this reason that they couldn't remember about SI Base Units that learned before. For the Freshman appeared low rate by this reason that they were not learned or graduated from the department of liberal art in high school.

In this study, a survey was conducted of students in grades 7 through 12, student teachers enrolled in their senior year at teachers' colleges, and science teachers. Subjects were surveyed on their conceptions of phenomenon related with dissolution, saturation, and extraction. The models and analogies used by student teachers and science teachers to explain dissolution were sought. The highest percentage of students thought of dissolution as a phenomenon in which particles broke into the spaces between other particles. The models or analogies used by the highest percentage of science teachers were similar. They generally conceived of dissolution phenomenon through what we call the 'space conception'. A conception of dissolution phenomenon as 'hydration through attraction of solvent and solute' was held by more student teachers than science teachers; there were some differences, however, according to their academic background. The percentage of teachers professing this view decreased when they attempted to explain the process of extraction of matter in a solution after other matter had dissolved or after the solution was cooled, indicating that the 'hydration' conception was not firmly established in the student teachers' cognition. Therefore, it can be inferred that the conceptions of dissolution as 'hydration' were transformed into the conceptions of dissolution as 'space' after teaching dissolution phenomenon as practicing teachers. This finding should be considered in teacher-training courses.

A study on food sanitation in school textbooks was performed for 7 months from October 1, 1992 through may 31, 1993. A total of 243 textbooks (77 from elementary school level, 52 from junior high school level and 114 from senior high school level) were reviewed and analyzed. This study was performed in order to develop better method for teaching the subjet of food sanitation to students effectively. The results are as follows: 1) A total number of pages of textbooks dealing with food sanitation were 48 pages (0.53%) in elementary level textbooks, 38.05 pages (0.31%) in junior high school level and 105.05 pages (0.34%) in senior high school level. 2) 104.05 pages were allocated for the subject of food storage, 33 pages for insect and rodent control, 32 pages for food poisoning, 15 pages for food contamination and 7 pages for kitchen hygiene. 3) Of the four categories of textbooks, the numbr of pages dealing with food sanitation were 145 in home economics, 31 in physical education, 12 in social studies and 3.0 in science. 4) Home economics and physical education textbooks allocated many pages in dealing with food sanitation. Home economics textbooks had 88 pages for food storage, 26.05 pages for food poisoning, 7 pages for food contamination, and 2 pages for kitchen hygiene. Physical education textbooks had 15 pages about food storage, 4 pages for food poisoning, 5 pages for food contamination, and 1 page for kitchen hygiene. 5) Social studies textbooks had 5 pages for food storage, 4 pages for insect and rodent control, 3 pages for food contamination. 6) The number of pages dealing with food sanitation in elementary school level textbooks were 20 in physical education, 13 in home economics, 12 in social studies, 3 in science respectively. 7) The number of pages dealing with food sanitation in junior high school level textbooks were 31.05 in home economics, and 7.00 in physical education textbooks. 31.50 pages were about food storage, 6 pages about food poisoning, 13 pages about insect and rodent control, and 1 page about kitchen hygiene. 8) The number of pages dealing with food sanitation in senior high school level textbooks were 101.05 in home economics and 4 in physical education textbooks. 64 pages were about food storage, 21.05 about food poisoning, 13 about insect and rodent control, 4 about kitchen hygiene, and 3 about food contamination. 9) Pictures, drawings and tables were used in explaining food sanitation in the textbooks, 32 drawings of a total of 38 cuts in elementary school level textbooks, 8 pictures of 10 cuts in junior high school level and 13 tables of 14 cuts in senior high school level were used. 10) 5th grade textbooks of elementary school did not have a subject on food poisoning. Other grade textbooks in elementary school level did not contain a subject on food contamination and insect and rodent control. It's recommended that these subjects be contained in the textbooks. 11) It is necessary to teach a subject on health or health and environment independently and contain food sanitation in the subject. It is recommended that a textbook on health or health and environment be published and taught to students. 12) It is recommended that teachers specialized in health education be assigened to schools to teach health related subjects. 13) It is recommended that book publishers use the latest information in the textbooks and technical terms be unified.

The purpose of this study was to identify: (a) the latent profiles of the difficulties associated with the schoolto-work transition (decline in confidence, mood swings, family disagreements, the burdens of familial expectations, economic hardship, and a lack of support) made by university students, (b) predictors (gender, age, grade, university location, co-residence with parents on weekdays, monthly household income, and parental educational attainment) of these profiles, and (c) how the profiles were associated with mental wellbeing. The participants of this study were 311 senior or above students (164 males and 147 females) under the age of 29, who were unmarried and preparing for employment. The findings of this study were as follows. First, the latent profile analysis revealed three distinct profiles: the "low overall difficulties" type (25.4%), the "moderate overall difficulties" type (49.9%), and the "high overall difficulties" type (24.7%). Second, the factors that predicted each profile included gender, age, co-residence with parents on weekdays, monthly household income, and parental educational attainment. Third, the "low overall difficulties" type demonstrated the highest level of mental well-being (emotional, social, and psychological well-being). This study was significant for examining the latent profiles of the difficulties associated with the school-to-work transition made by university students preparing for employment, while also exploring their mental well-being. Based on the results of this study, practical implications, limitations, and suggestions for further study were discussed.

Today’s teenagers were significantly deficient of calcium intakes, taking on the average only 55.4 percents of the recommended. Milk was the major source of calcium intakes, and therefore the school milk program need to be readdressed to remedy this problem. However, school milk program(SMP) was said to be simply the substitute for milk at home, so that no more than a minimal effect on total milk consumption be warranted. This Study aimed to find out whether or not the school milk program was an effective measure to increase teenager’s milk consumption and explored the relation between school milk and total milk consumption for 1,079 junior and senior high school students who were surveyed by questionnaire from 15th June to 15th July in 2006. A Tobit model was used for the statistical analysis. In this model, we first regressed milk consumption on 5 variables i.e. degree of satisfaction, participation in SMP, sex, school, region. But the variable region was not significant statistically. Then we regressed on 4 variables except for region. The results showed 4 variables were all significant and the marginal effect of variable ‘participation in SMP’ was 1.3. Especially, the marginal effect 1.3 means that the students participating in the school milk program consumed 1.3cups more than the non-participants, which indicated the effectiveness of school milk program to improve the calcium deficiency program of teenagers.
