It is undeniable that teachers play the principal roles in education. This is why education and professional development of teachers are so important. Some of recent works have made this fact clearer. In America, in particular, many reports and research papers have recently been published on these problems. In this paper, we first introduce briefly the current system of education, employment, and professional development of mathematics teachers in Korea. And then we mention a research project on education of mathematics teachers. The final report of the project contains some suggestions for curriculums of the department for education of mathematics teachers. We describe one example of extended syllabus which implements those suggestions. The example is on Modern Algebra I.

Recently, we have recognized that ‘Soil Environmental Prevention Act’could not provide perfect solutions on many complicated problems which are now emerging and/or can be solved by adopting comprehensive policies. In this study, some suggestions were made to solve a few tangled problems such as conducting the Land Partnership Plan(LPP) project, investigating soil and ground water contamination of the industrial area, building a integrated information system for soil and ground water, establishing detailed guidelines for remediation and verification, and re-constructing the legal and institutional framework for integrated management of soil and ground water. These suggestions may help policy makers to build conceptual frameworks for solving these problems.

This analysis of the history and programs of family education centers (Familienbildungsst${\ddot{a}}$tte) in Germany generated suggestions for designing Korean family life education programs. Familienbildungsst${\ddot{a}}$tte started around 1900 and changed over time due to varying social and political situations. Rapid social change and the sudden economic crash in Korea produced many family problems, such as broken families and family related conflict. As the Korean family can no longer provide traditional psychological and economic support, some social institution is required to provide intervention and encouragement to both special needs families and normal families. This study generated suggestions for designing and managing Korean family life social centers.

The rapidly developed environment by ubiquitous computing make the paradigm from e-trade to u-trade. The purpose of the study is to find out issue and the strategic suggestions that could link together between the e-trade and ubiquitous computing in side of information security. The study include the contents as follows; firstly, the technical explanations under the ubiquitous computing, secondly, e-trade's risks in security technology and lastly, issue and strategic suggestions how link them together in integrated view.

Sun Tzu once clarified that "One who knows the enemy and knows himself will not be endangered in a hundred engagements, " while Clausewitz explained that "A victory will be guaranteed for one who can overcome 'fog and friction' at a battlefield." Now the U.S. is striving hard to develop an American version of RMA (Revolution in Military Affairs)/MTR (Military Technical Revolution) by utilizing its rapidly emerging information technology in the information age. The U.S. firmly believes that its RMA/MTR with less defense expenditure can provide all combat players in the battlespace with "dominant battle awareness, " by which no nation will be able to challenge U.S. military superiority. In this paper, the recent efforts of the U.S. Armed Forces on RMA/MTR will be briefly introduced, some lessons and expertises from the U.S. RMA/MTR are extracted, and, in this regard, several suggestions are provided for the progress of the ROK Armed Forces.gress of the ROK Armed Forces.

Purpose - This study aims to suggest policy directions for small retail markets in Korea by statistical analysis, which would help small retailers who are facing various difficulties. Research design, data, methodology - This study diagnoses the problems faced by small retail industries in Korea based on government statistics. In addition, this study identifies three areas for successful collaboration between the SSMs and traditional markets-information distribution, products, and fair trade. Results - This study makes three recommendations-information distribution, products, and fair trade. This includes activation of the existing mutual collaboration efforts, channels, CSR report writing and publicity, ethical management cooperation seminars, contract systems of no return, establishment of staff outsourcing standards, and support for suppliers' organizations. Conclusions - Our suggestions for a collaborative system (based on the three suggestions) show that collaboration rather than confrontation between large and small markets can lead to a sales increase of 2,258.2 billion Won, which is equivalent to the sales loss in 11 traditional markets in one year in Busan.

Many Asian countries operate the national quality award systems. Most of the evaluation criteria of the award systems are generally based on the MalCom Baldrige National Quality Award System of U.S.A. which started since 1987. But their operation systems for awards are different by countries. Comparing the differences among them can give a good benchmark for Korean Quality Award systems. There are poor empirical results that the Korean Quality Awards systems improve the performances of the organizations awarded. This paper proposes some suggestions for the effective operations of Korean quality award systems through the comparison among Asian countries' awarding systems.

There has been much efforts to facilitate healthcare innovation and many desirable outcomes were produced in Korea. However, some structural deficiencies were found. They are misalignment of research and development (R&D) subjects with healthcare system, lack of flexibility of current healthcare system to accommodate the radically innovative products, and lack of cooperation among innovation agent. Some suggestions to correct these deficiencies are discussed. The suggestions are as follows: relating Korean healthcare R&D to healthcare system, enhancement of institutional flexibility to allow innovative application of new technology, improvement of the R&D process, and reexamination of the role of academic medical centers.

In recent years assessment has attracted increased attention from the international mathematics education community including this Korean community also. There could be numerous reasons for this phenomena. During the last couple of decades the field of mathematics education has developed considerably in the area of goals, theories, and practices. Whereas these developments have not been matched by parallel development in assessment. Now the functions, roles, and effects of assessment in mathematics education should no longer be neglected, rather they should become objects of investigation and examination in the study of mathematics education. The purpose of this study is to explore selected international cases of assessment in mathematics education mainly depended on two studies resulting from ICMI Study Conference on Assessment in Mathematics Education and Its Effects; and then to draw out their suggestions needed for our study of assessments in mathematics education.

The purpose of this study is to examine internet agent of IT(Information Technology) in health care industry Since IT is essential for corporate strategy in service management, this section examines IT in health care service, especially from the view of 'Agent Technology' that has been recently issued. Intelligent agent is a new paradigm for developing software applications. More than this, agent-based computing has been hailed as 'the next significant break-through in software development' and 'the new revolution in software'. And health care service is a non-mechanic, human-based service. This paper reviewed what possible suggestions or advices can be made to the health care service. Since many health care services using internet have been attempted over the recent years, this study will hopefully be able to come up with good suggestions from many aspects. Thus, information inequality between producer(physician) and consumer(patient) in health care service will be decreased through the introduction of agent technology.
