Exhibition space emphasizes the experience in the space rather than viewing or appreciation of visitors. Because the experience spaces in today's life are limited, people experience rest, comfort, and sometimes extraordinary space experience through exhibition space. Exhibition space has changed from a static place to a space where visitors move and act with the exhibits to freely feel the space. Also, the static space expressed only with illumination and shadow becomes a new space different from daily space for users. This study analyzes the characteristics of phenomenological expression through such user-oriented exhibition space. This study is to analyze the characteristics of phenomenology through the exhibition experience space structure. It is to analyze and study on the characteristics of phenomenological expression of the exhibition experience space structure centered in the opinion of Merlo-Ponti that considers the experience of body among 'characteristics' discussed based on the study of the phenomenological experience published up to date and the viewpoint of Steven Hall that sees light as a subject of creating the space. This study is also considers how the perception of the experiencer is built in the correlation between the phenomenology and exhibition experience space by studying the relationship of the experiencer that is the common point of the exhibition experience space structure and the characteristics of phenomenological expression and analyzing the common point and difference of them. It also focuses on the space of dark whether forming any light rather than looking at the light which is the sense factor among the characteristics of phenomenological expressions. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyze the case on whether there is any light or not applied to the exhibition experience space grounded by the theoretical materials of Merlo-Ponti and Steven Hall based on the characteristics of phenomenological expressions in the exhibition experience space structure and, based on the result, to set up the basics on the characteristics of phenomenological expressions in the composition of exhibition experience space.

The objective of this study is to examine the experiences of living as a nursing student in Korea in terms of: how their time is spent studying and enjoying college life with relation to their goals. The challenges identified in achieving their goals were also analyzed. This study is underpinned with classical phenomenology. Seven qualitative studies were conducted with nursing students between the ages of 20 and 30. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using audio recordings which were then transcribed verbatim. Phenomenological thematic analysis of data was applied. The findings pivot around three interconnected themes: burden, licensing exams, and finding a stable job. Burden was identified as a temporally existing with getting the license and stable job. Burden consumes a lot of time and effort, which leads participants to burn a lot their energy and mental strength in the process.

The purpose of this research is to reveal the essential meaning of deviant peer through Phenomenological approach method on experiences of the teenagers. For an in-depth understanding of the experience world of the teenagers, researcher sought the essential meaning structure about the four Life-world Existentials of constructing human's live-world. Data had been collected through the researcher, the participants' observation, field note, content analysis, as well as in-depth interview "With them. Based on an analytical process of hermeneutical phenomenology of van Manen, researcher analysed essential meanings of the data in light of the four Existential categories through separating thematic statement, decision of essential theme and rewriting. The structure of the deviant peer experienced by the teenagers has been analyzed by the hermeneutical phenomenology so as to extract 28 composition meanings, 30 phenomenon and 18 structure of experience. The results examined by each theme are as follows. This study demonstrates that essential meaning structure of the study participants in the world is the experience of boundary, alert'.

E-Learning, a technology-based learning process is the obtaining of knowledge from the basis of IT technology. The development of e-Learning requires corporate educational staff as well as HR staff, who manage e-learning, to drastically change their roles. The main reason for this is that the properly adapted and highly experienced education and training abilities of HR staff could accelerate the adoption and usage of e-Learning but they need to clearly select and define an appropriate curriculum from among the extensive mass-customized content with an e-learning basis. Here the research has analyzed the influence of the introduction and usage of e-Learning in hotels on HR staff and their roles from the viewpoint of hermeneutic phenomenology.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the research trends of spiritual care in Korea and to make suggestions for future studies. Methods: 209 researches from 1981 to 2012 were analyzed. Results: Among the 209 studies reviewed. 74 were thesis studies and 135 for reported research in academic journal. There were 169 quantitative studies, 11 qualitative studies and 29 other types studies. The most frequently used study design was correlational. The majority of study participants were patients, followed by nursing students, nurses or non-medical participants. In the correlation studies, the variable of spiritual well-being had a positive correlation with hope, self-esteem and spiritual nursing care and a negative correlation with depression, anxiety and loneliness. In the experimental studies, the independent variables were spiritual nursing intervention, spiritual care education program and spiritual promoting intervention. The main theme of qualitative studies were the experience of spiritual care, spiritual experience and the most frequent designs were grounded theory, phenomenology and interpretative phenomenology. Conclusion: The domestic research about spiritual care needs to utilize a variety of approaches including concept or tool development study suitable for Korean peoples, multi-disciplinary research, qualitative study and program development study.

This study aims to analyze and explore phenomenological elements that appear in small-scall art museums with spatial concepts, such as top and bottom, depth, movement, and experienced space on the basis of Merleau-Ponty $Ph\acute{e}nom\acute{e}nologie$ de la perception.' Therefore, small-scale art museums may be regarded as an ideal space that can be analyzed with Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological theory since they should provide viewers with various spatial experiences in a limited space, breaking away from spatial limitations beyond appreciation of artworks. As research subjects, the range of art museums was limited to ones whose designs architectures or interior designers participated in out of all the small-scale art museums constructed after the 1990s, when the concepts and directing methods of spatial experience elements started being applied to art museums. Small-scale art museums chosen as cases were analyzed with Merleau-Ponty's spatial concepts explained earlier, and this study drew conclusions for each one. The significance of this study is that the results of this study can be used as efficient materials to reflect phenomenological elements on planning future small-scale art museums through further studies on various small-scale art museums.

This study is to predict the possibilities of phenomenological spatial design, by recognizing that a phenomenological spatial design brings about a change in the type, regime, role and materials of a spatiality due to the effect of contemporary digital technology and by analyzing their characteristics. Therefore, the study is based on the phenomenology of perception of Morris Merleau Ponty, which has the same concept to contemporary out-of-material and out-of-hierarchical paradigm. The case study has been carried out by selecting some of all works since 1980s, which were influenced by Merleau-Ponty. The analyses were performed by substituting the cases into the spatiality of Situation, spatiality of participation and creation, spatiality of retrospect and prospect, and the spatiality of unpredictability, which were the concept of phenomenological space of Merleau-Ponty for the analyses of features of type, regime, role and material of a spatial design. This article has a great significance in expecting the possibilities of changes of phenomenological spatial design by examining the characteristics of phenomenological spatial design.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the meaning and essence of suicide for elderly people who had previously attempted suicide as an older person. Methods: Giorgi's descriptive phenomenology was used for analysis. The researchers carried out in-depth interviews, recordings and memos individually with four elders. The elders were individuals who had attempted suicide sometime in the past 5 yr. They were interviewed from 5 to 10 times using open-ended questions and a semi-structural format. Demographic data were also collected. Results: The meaning of suicide before a suicide attempt in older people had four core components: conflict with family, powerlessness and despair in their life with a drop in self-esteem, using internal and external resources to resolve their troubles and awareness of imminent crisis. Conclusion: These results of this study will increase understanding of suicide in older people by defining their subjective experience of suicide attempts and applying grounded data in the development of programs that provide concrete intervention strategies to prevent suicide in elderly people.

This research was to understand the features of mathematization and didactical phenomenology, in a way that was not a routine calculation of equation, rather a complete comprehension by the reinventing historical principles of the equation. To achieve the purpose of this study, one-mate middle school student participated in the study. Interview and observation were used for collecting data during the student's performance. The results of research were: First, the student understood the mathematical concepts from a real life and developed the abstract concepts from it, which were very intimately related with his life. Second, the skill and formula definition were accomplished with the accompanying predicted and consequently derived mathematical concepts. Third, through the approach of using the history of mathematics, he became more interested in what he was doing and took lessons with confidence. Forth, the student performed his learning based on the historical reinventing principle under the proper guidance of a teacher.
