The reform movements of current mathematics education have based on several major ideas, in order to provide a new vision of the teaching and loaming of mathematics. Of the ideas, the motto of communication of mathematics appears to be a significant factor to change teaching practices in mathematics classroom. Through Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, the psychological background is presented for both supporting the motto and extracting important suggestions of the reform of mathematics education. The development of higher mental functions is explained by internalization, semiotic mediation, and the zone of proximal development. Above all, emphasis is put on the concepts of scaffolding and inter subjectivity related to the zone of proximal development. Seven implications are proposed by Vygotsky's sociocultural theory for the new forms of the teaching and learning of mathematics.

본 연구에서는 여대생의 미용성형 중독성향에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하였다. 여대생 223명을 단순무작위 표집하여 성형수술 수용성, 외모에 대한 사회문화적 척도, 신체-자아에 대한 다차원 설문지, 자아존중감을 조사하였다. 자료수집은 2014년 5월에 이루어졌고 서술적 통계, chi-square test, ANOVA, logistic regression analysis로 분석하였다. 성형중독 성향과 관련된 각각의 변수를 안정군, 긍정적기대군, 중독위험군, 중독군과 비교분석하였다. 연구결과 안정군 21.1%, 긍정적기대군 35.0%, 중독위험군 32.7%, 중독군 11.2%가 확인되었고, 전체의 45.7%는 성형수술의 개인적인 경험이 있었다. 미용성형의 경험, 높은 성형수술 수용성, 높은 외모에 대한 사회문화적 태도, 높은 신체상(외모평가)은 미용성형 중독성향을 증가시켰다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 일반인들을 위한 성형중독 예방, 조기 발견 및 치료 프로그램을 개발하고 적용할 수 있을 것이다. 미용성형 중독을 예방하기 위해 안전 가이드라인의 도입이 필요하고, 조기성형수술, 사회문화적 영향, 신체상 변형의 예방이 중요하다고 제안한다.

본 연구는 1990년대 'X세대' 담론과 2010년대 'C세대' 담론 한복판에 존재하는 '서태지와 아이들'(X세대)과 '방탄소년단'(C세대)의 을 심층적으로 비교한다. 특히 뮤직비디오 속에서 중요한 의미를 갖는 '집'의 성격을 탐색하며 사회문화적 함의를 추수할 것이다. 논지의 구체성을 확보하기 위해 시모어 채트먼의 서사 소통 모델과 토비아스의 플롯 유형론을 방법론으로 택했다. 분석 결과 서태지와 아이들의 원작은 계몽과 훈육의 수직적 소통 구조를 보여주며 '성숙'의 플롯을 따라 이야기를 전개됐다. 원작에서 '집'의 의미는 저항의 대상에서 내면화의 대상으로 변화해가는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이를 통해 X세대의 당대 사회구성원으로서의 위치 변화를 확인할 수 있었다. 방탄소년단의 리메이크 뮤직비디오는 공감과 연대의 수평구조를 보여주며 '추구/발견'의 플롯을 따라 사건이 전개되었다. 방탄소년단은 C세대를 대변하면서 팬덤의 참여를 이끌어내는 스토리텔링을 선보였다. 여기서의 '집'이란 자기 정체성을 전유한 자의 삶 그 자체로 파악된다.
