A majority of participants were from Daegu and academic high schools. Many participants were accepted by general admission selection, and their reason to apply to Daegu Health College was high graduate employment. Their selection for the academic program was made by their parents and themselves. Those who took the same course twice held 35.1%, and those who got an academic warning took 8.5%. The degree of participants' academic achievement showed somewhat low, and they had difficulty in taking their major courses. The average grade for admission was lower in a following selection order: college graduates, general, special, and rural areas. The admission selections and taking science courses in high school showed little significant correlations with obtainment of a radiological technology license. However, the obtainment of the license had significant correlations with retaking the same course, getting an academic warning, and the degree of academic achievement. The results also revealed that the obtainment of the license had little significant correlations with a part-time job experience, having a boy/girlfriend, and student club participation, but it had significant correlations with accommodations and study club participation.

Korea has recently invested much of its effort in fostering talents in scientific fields to establish a foundation for sustainable future growth. From this perspective, the ministry of education has come up with a special rule aimed at achieving the substantiality of engineering schools in universities. The ministry has been providing educational support by providing a tech-innovation center, industry-oriented education, and policies such as PRIME. Despite this support, most students in the natural science field end up being hired in fields not related to their majors. There has been a growing opinion regarding the need for career education for these students. In this research, based on a social cognitive career theory (SCCT) model that provides a comprehensive understanding of career development, this research would like to practically examine the relationship among college students' career preparation behaviors and influencing variables, such as grit, career decision-making self-efficacy, outcome expectation, and major interest. Data from 153 natural-science majors at A college in Korea were collected and analyzed using path analysis. The result was that the data strongly supported the model explaining the relationship between career preparation behaviors and influencing variables. Based on this result, we propose that career education that can promote grit, career decision-making self-efficacy, outcome expectation, and major interest is required to encourage students in the field of the natural sciences to pursue career preparation behaviors related to their majors.

The present study explored how ADHD assessment, identification, and diagnosis were conducted in research through an overview of research papers on ADHD in the last 10 years. The collected studies were categorized and analyzed by topics including data collection settings, assessment and identification, coexistence with other disabilities, considerable variables throughout evaluation, and biological basis. They were categorized and analyzed according to the identification methods, the number of assessment(s) and the number of informant(s). The results were as follows: First, the assessment and identifying studies on children with ADHD were excessively biased toward clinical settings. Second, the majority of the previous studies explored more the development or validation of tools for the assessment and identifying of ADHD than the other topics. Finally, a high preference for the use of a multiple assessment method in identifying ADHD was found. However, considering methodological aspects, there was a lack of practical application of multi-step process such as including a personal interview, reviewing school records or direct observing rating criteria. Considering these results, we discussed an urgent need for the diagnosis and identification guidelines of ADHD for teachers to effectively identifying ADHD children at schools. The implications of school-based ADHD assessment and diagnosis research were suggested.
