  • The purpose of this study was to develop evaluation indicators which can help decision making in the quality control and improvement of the job capability strengthening program for the vocational high school depending on the situation, input, process and output of CIPP evaluation model. For this purpose, through the literature review and the research of expert opinions, the evaluation indicators for the job capability strengthening program in the vocational high school was designed. In addition, the Delphi research was conducted to 15 teachers in charge of job searching in specialized high schools and education related experts to validate it. The CVR value which indicates the value of validity was analyzed through the findings of the collected Delphi questionnaires and the degree of opinion consistency was analyzed through the degrees of agreement and convergence. Through the correction and complementation, the final evaluation criteria and evaluation indicators was decided. The evaluation criteria developed from the findings include 7 references such as requirement analysis, objective setting, implementation plan, implementation contents, program activities, program control & evaluation and program performance. Each Criteria has 41 evaluation indicators. It is expected that the finally decided evaluation indicators would be used by the people concerned with the job capability strengthening program at the vocational high schools and contribute to the quality improvement of the job capability strengthening program at the vocational high schools as well as its future directions.

  • Objective : This study was conducted to examine self-selected goals and the outcome measures used in the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach for Developmental Coordination Disorder. Methods : Studies published from January 2012 to October 2022 in the PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, Cochrance Library databases were searched. Keywords used for search were ('developmental coordination disorder' OR 'DCD') AND ('Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance' OR 'Cognitive Orientation to Occupational Performance' OR 'CO-OP'). Among 211 searched studies, 7 selected studies that match the thesis of this study were analyzed. Results : The selected studies showed a relatively high level of evidence overall, including two randomized experimental studies, one non-random two-group study, three non-random one-group studies, one single-subject study. The self-selected goals preference of the children was high in the order of play, education, and daily life activities. Most of applicable sessions were conducted 10 times during a 1-h period, and intervention effects showed positive outcomes on the occupation performance motor domain. To measure the effectiveness of CO-OP, the improvement of occupational performance was evaluated using Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and Performance Quality Rating Scale (PQRS), and the improvement of motor skills was evaluated using Movement Assessment Battery for Children (M-ABC). Conclusion : This study is expected to be used as basic clinical data when applying the CO-OP approach to Developmental Coordination Disorder.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of adding various concentrations of cherry powder(obtained from freezed dried fruit of Prunus serrulata L. var. spontanea Max. wils.) on the physicochemical, antioxidant, and sensory characteristics of jelly. The pH of the jelly decreased significantly with the addition of cherry powder. The sugar content of the jelly increased significantly (p<0.05) with cherry powder added more than 7%. The Hunter color L-values decreased significantly (p<0.05) by the addition of cherry powder, and a- and b-values increased by the addition of cherry powder compared to the control, but there were no constant changes with increasing amounts of cherry powder. For the textural characteristics, the addition of cherry powder significantly (p<0.05) increased the hardness, chewiness and gumminess but there were no significant difference (p<0.05) in the springness and cohesiveness. The antioxidative activity measured by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity of jelly increased as the concentrations of cherry powder increased. The jellies containing 1 and 5% cherry powder had acceptable sensory properties, such as color, flavor, taste, texture, and overall quality. In consideration of the antioxidant properties and sensory characteristics, the highest quality improvement was obtained by adding 5% (w/w) of cherry powder into the jellies.

  • This study selected 3D printing that is highly likely to be adopted in schools. This research was conducted in two stages: 1) proposing the learning activity framework for utilizing 3D printing in education, and 2) exploring the potential of integrating 3D printing in the school field. The '3D printing learning activity framework' proposed in this study includes four phases that are categorized according to the complexity of problem-solving processes and collaborative interaction: Step 1 as production through replication, Phase 2 as means of imaginary expression, Phase 3 as near problem-solving, and Phase 4 as expanded problem-solving. Next, we conducted the field study with 23 students in the 6th grade math class where they learned the various solid shapes and volumes through 3D printing-integrated activities. The lesson was considered as Phase 1, which is the production through replication. Overall, the results showed that the participants had positive perceptions about the efficacy of 3D printing activities, the quality of learning experience, and satisfaction. On the other hand, it was found that the usability of 3D printers and CAD program needs further improvement The contribution of this study can be found in the learning activity framework that can guide 3D printing activity design in school, and in the exploration of enhancing the connection between 3D printing activities and curricular relevance beyond simple interest toward a novel technology.

  • Despite the importance of the needs assessment activities and the necessity of the systematical investigation on the features of the needs assessment in the social service agencies, it has been observed that the recent NA studies have ignored an important study area of NA, the utilization of needs assessment results in social service agencies. Therefore, this study was undertaken to investigate salient features of the utilization of community needs assessment results, particularly, in the social welfare centers located in Seoul city. A questionnaire was constructed with seven parts, including a dependent variable and 6 independent variables, and 67 questionnaires were collected from 90 agencies during two months. As the result of the descriptive analyses, the five noticeable features were found; (1) the needs assessment results in the agencies was not highly utilized; (2) the attitude on the NA activities was not highly positive because the responders thought that NA activities require too much time from agency staff; (3) agency staff was more actively involved in the NA process than agency directors; (4) the responders thought that quality of NA influences on the utilization of NA; (5) the respondents were confident in carrying out NA although they did not have many opportunities to learn the technical skills of NA research. Multiple regressions were applied to analyze the relationship between independent variables and three kind of dependent variables - conceptual utilization, instrumental utilization, total utilization. The result showed that the conceptual utilization was critically influenced by social workers' confidence on NA, attitude on NA, and directors' involvement in NA. The institutional utilization was influenced by the directors' involvement. The total utilization was influenced by social workers' attitude on NA, confidence on NA, and directors's involvement. Major findings were discussed and several suggestions were made for future research and improvement of the utilization of needs assessment result in social welfare centers.

  • The review of statements and coastal development characteristics in South Korea were diagnosed by the consultation on the coastal area utilization in Korea. The occupation and the use of public water were dominated by installation of coastal structure and seawater supply and drainage whereas the reclamation areas were predominantly utilized for developing industrial complex, harbor, fishing port and road. The occupation and the use were dominant in western coast, but reclamation was dominant in southern coast of Korea. The number of utilization cases was particularly greater in Jeonnam, Gyeongnam, and Gyeonggi Province including Incheon. The number of the statements reviews increased by more than 200 cases in 2008 compared with 2007, and most of them were the simple statements. The statements related to ocean disposal of dredged sediment, reclamation, dredging sediment, seawater supply and drainage, and marine sand mining were submitted for review. Coastal utilization was especially active in the regions of seawater quality criteria I and II. In particular, special management sea areas designated under the relevant marine regulations were utilized mostly by reclamation for developing harbor, fishing port and coastal structure. Development activities in national parks comprised primarily structure installation and coastal maintenance. In the fisheries resources protection areas, 40% of the total cases accounted for coastal maintenance, 31% for structure installation, and 16% for seawater supply and drainage. In addition, alternative plans for the improvement in policies and system of marine environmental impact assessment were suggested to enhance the function and confidence of the consultation on the coastal area utilization in Korea.

  • In this era of globalization and fierce competition, R&D is an essential part of corporate development strategy. Accordingly, much effort has been devoted to identify and verify best practices for successful R&D and to improve R&D processes. Nevertheless, there is still lack of a comprehensive framework for assessing the quality of R&D process, which can be used as a step-by-step guide for process improvement. Therefore, this study purposes to develop a framework for assessing R&D process based on the concept of CMMI, which is a process improvement approach that defines the essential elements of effective processes. In particular, we suggest three types of R&D process-new product development, new service creation and new technology creation-and then develop a customized framework for them. For this purpose, we firstly investigated the characteristics of R&D activities for each type of process and identify its base practices from an extensive literature review. Then, the CMMI approach was adopted and modified to suit the R&D process. Finally, an illustrative example was provided to demonstrate the assessment process and a prototype web-based assessment system was suggested. Research findings will help understand the characteristics of different types of R&D process and provide a customized guidelines for R&D process assessment and improvement.

  • Engineering phase of dairy housing systems has close connection with the milk produc- tivity of dairy cattle, the quality of milk, extension of dairy production systems, labor- saving in management of dairy cattle and the like. Moreover, the rate of investment of dairy housing facilities is of relatively high level, However, there has been almost no research effort for the improvement of engineering aspects of dairy housing systems in Korea. The purpose of this study is to find out general engineering problems and to recomm- end the improvement in dairy housing systems in Korea. Field survey by means of questionaire, direct measurements, taking pictures and sketching was conducted to get necessary information for the study. Kyung-ki Do region was firstly chosen for sampling area since it has included more than half of the number of dairy farms of the whole country. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. In overall dairy farm layout, the dwellings of workers were ignored in the light of sanitary environment 2. The layout of stalls in a dairy barn belongs mostly to the type of double-row face-out, which is compatible with the emphasis of manure disposal activities. 3. While the width and length of stalls were sufficiently close to the standard dimension, the width of mangers was much less than the standard dimension. 4. The width and depth of manure gutters and the width of working alleys were much. less than the standard dimension. 5. The mooring equipment was mostly in the classes of chain or rope. The watering equipment was not facilitated independantly except the one cese of using watercup. 6. The bucket milkers with one or two bucket milkers with the capacity of two cattles. each were used as milking equipment in most dairy farms. 7. There were only few milk rooms independently spaced from other space, in which the arrangement of milking equipment was much less than the standard condition. 8. The lounging ground area was averaged to be sufficient for the activity of dairy herd. 9. Silos for silage used during winter consisted of mostly bunker silos, trench silos and underground vertical silos. Ordinary vertical silos were considered for the farmers to be inconvenient for the labor saving. 10. From the view point of heat conservation and moisture removal within the dairy barns, windows were not flexible for the easy ventilation and ceiling part was not adequate for temperatur maintenance. 11. Waste treatment and disposal systems were not provided with most dairy farms, therefore the livestock waste pollution problems would be serious in the near future.

  • The quality characteristics of Yanggaeng with 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% acaiberry (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) powder added were analyzed for physicochemical, antioxidant effects, and sensory preferences. The moisture contents of the Yanggaeng added with acaiberry powder were significantly(p<0.001) increased as the acaiberry powder levels (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) increased. The pH and $^{\circ}brix$ values of Yanggaeng added with acaiberry powder were significantly reduced as the acaiberry powder levels(0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) increased (p<0.001). According to the hunter color of Yanggaeng added with acaiberry powder, the L-value(lightness) and the b-value(yellowness) significantly decreased(p<0.001), whereas the a-value(redness) increased as the acaiberry powder levels increased(p<0.001). For the textural characteristics, the addition of acaiberry powder decreased the hardness(p<0.001), gumminess(p<0.001), cohesiveness(p<0.05), and chewiness(p< 0.01), whereas springiness not significantly changed. The total polyphenol contents and DPPH radical scavenging activities were significantly increased aciberry powder(p<0.01, p<0.001). In sensory evaluation, Yanggaeng addition with 4% acaiberry powder had excellent scores in taste and overall sensory preference. These results suggest that acaiberry powder may be a useful ingredient in Yanggaeng for the improvement of sensory preference and antioxidant potential. Considering both the functional and sensory preference aspects of the acaiberry Yanggaeng, the 4% acaiberry powder dosage level can be considered ideal.

  • This study evaluated the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of cookies containing various concentrations (0, 3, 6, and 9%) of cherry powder (obtained from ground fruit of Prunus serrulata L. var. spontanea Max. wils.). The pH of dough decreased with the addition of cherry powder, whereas the density of dough increased. The spread factor of control samples also evidenced significantly higher values than the other samples. The results of a hardness assessment demonstrated that the addition of cherry powder exerted a significant effect on cookie hardness. Lightness (L) and yellowness (b) of cookie color decreased as the concentration of cherry powder increased, whereas the redness (a) increased. The antioxidative activity measured by DPPH radical scavenging activity of cookie increased as the concentration of cherry powder increased. The cookies containing the 3 and 6% cherry powder had acceptable sensory properties, such as color, smell, taste, hardness, crispness, and overall acceptability. The results exhibited that adding the cherry powder into the cookie increased antioxidant activity, and the highest quality improvement was obtained by incorporating the 3 and 6% of cherry powder into the cookie formula.
