  • 한국의 농촌 지도사업은 농민들이 주곡인 쌀의 자급과 푸른 채소의 주년 공급을 달성할 수 있도록 도왔을 뿐 아니라 4-H 클럽 활동의 지도를 통한 농촌 청소년의 지도와 영농후계세대의 육성 등에도 기여하여 왔다. 1997년 정부는 민주화 지방화의 미명 하에 농촌 지도 교육자의 신분을 지방직으로 전환시켰다. 이러한 지방직 전환은 다양한 문제들, 예컨대 1) 농촌 지도 교육자의 사기와 인원수를 줄여 농촌 지도의 사회교육적 기능을 저하시켰고, 2) 중앙과 지방 농촌 진흥기관의 연계를 약화시켰으며, 3) 농촌지도 교육자의 현직 교육 기회를 축소시켰으며, 또한, 4) 농업 연구와 농촌지도의 연계를 약화시키는 등의 부작용을 야기 시켰다. 흔히 농촌지도 공무원으로 부르는 농촌지도 교육자들은 농업 기술의 전파 보급을 위한 전문직이며 미국 등 선진국에서는 국가가 인정하는 지도 교육자 (extension educator)로 전문직업 능력의 향상을 위한 다양한 노력을 경주하고 있다. 국가 목표인 식량의 지속적 생산, 국가의 균형 발전과 환경 보전은 물론 점증하는 농민들의 요구에 부응하기 위해서 농촌지도 교육자들의 사기를 앙양시키는 것은 중요한 과제이다. 안전하고 질 높은 음식의 지속적 공급을 위해서는 농업 생산자들에게 혁신 농업 기술의 전파 보급이 절대적으로 중요하기 때문에 더 이상 농촌지도사업이 훼손되는 것을 방치해서는 안 될 것이다. 농촌지도 사업의 지속적 발전을 위한 국내의 연구는 물론 아시아 태평양 지역 국가들의 농촌과 국가 발전을 위한 협동적 노력도 필요할 것이다.

  • There are many opportunities for Agricultural Technology Centers and for local communities to benefit from the computer and internet and compete in the information age. However, many rural communities appeared to lack human and financial resources required to enable access to the computer and internet.

  • It is necessary to realize in advance the lessons and knowhow about how to live, which humankind have developed, through learning to decrease the number of trial and error in our first trip to life. The big problem that present mathematical education is faced with is just only to place much importance on doing microscopic research ignoring macroscopic perspective, which results in the ineffectiveness of mathematics for contributing to life. The purpose of present study is to examine the way of living, classify methods of gaining an insight into life using macroscopic perspective, and develop a life model which can suggest a way of gaining an insight into life from external perspective. Also, this study explores a way of building a creative mathematical model for effective insight about life.

There are many assertions related to environment but they are not to be clearly classified because of miscellaneous paradigm. It is possible to classify into two category on the basis of human attitude toward nature and environmental problem. One of them is anthropocentrism and the other is ecocentrism. This classification is helpful to understand various environmental discourses. Owing to different paradigm approach, anthropocentrism and ecocentrism have different concept for environmental problem. Anthropocentrism is powerful to the real life in behalf of economic rationalism. But ecocentrism is important for the only settlement of environmental problem in ecocentric perspectives. Therefore a new scheme for environmental problem solving is necessary through combining the merits of anthropocentrism and ecocentrism.
