Korea has failed to respond to the Middle East respiratory syndrome of 2015 and the early phase of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) of 2020. This is due to the structural problems of the Ministry of Health and Welfare that has been more increased manpower and budgets of the welfare part relative to those of the health part, and the ministers were appointed welfare experts, not health experts. In 21 (56.8%) of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries, the Ministry of Health operates independently, and these countries have been relatively well coping with COVID-19. The importance of the Korean health sector is increasing even further. Korea faces on the emerging infectious diseases, chronic infectious diseases such as tuberculosis that has been being a huge burden, and rapidly increasing non-communicable diseases, suicide and mental disorders, and some diseases due to fine dust and climate change. In addition, the rapid advancement of the aging society, the entry of an era of ultra-low fertility and low-economic growth, and the unification of the Korean peninsula are calling for a health policy reform. Therefore, the Ministry of Health should be established and systematically responsible for health policy, disease policy, medical policy, and medical security policy. Ministry of Health will be the control tower for K-Disease Control, K-Bio, and K-Health.

Vaccine diplomacy is a manifestation of competition for political influence among great powers amidst the Covid-19 pandemic's blatant illustration of ineluctable interdependency across the global community. The reinforcement of trends bolstering global polity construction intensify concomitantly with nationalist populist value and attitude expressions increasing political polarization. The interdependency graphically illustrated in the Cold War-era's mutual assured destruction incentivized competition into indirect competitive intervention in the internal politics of third actors. Indirect international influence contestations included extended, de facto challenge competitions to generate soft power on behalf of the victor, e.g., the space race. The Covid-19 pandemic has intensified this competition to offer alternative development models while intense domestic political polarization undermines the mobilizational capacities for achieving sustainable development. In contrast to multinational and multiethnic states, nation states have an inherent mobilizational advantage because of the enhanced control capabilities available to the authorities without emphasizing coercion. Control through Gramscian hegemonic mechanisms is more readily feasible in nation states through the greater feasibility of commodification of social relations by states authorities regulating and channeling social competition to encourage social mobility and creativity. The regulation of the so-called private sector serves to manage and contain social competition while channeling it to develop the institutional capacities for control and allocation of developing societal human resources. It enhances developed state control mechanisms and international influence capacities. The appeal of offers of aid and assistance to the so-called developing world becomes ever more urgent amidst Anthropocene crises including its most recent, current Covid-19 pandemic disaster.

Korean economy has experienced a very rapid growth largely due to the change of the innovation system since the last half century. The recent outbreak of COVID-19 impacts the global economy as well as Korea's innovation system. In order to understand the influence of the shock to the Korean technological system, we have forecast the future of the system combining qualitative and quantitative techniques such as expert panel, cross impact analysis, and scenario planning. According to the results, we have identified 39 driving forces influencing the change of Korea's technological innovation system. Four scenarios have been suggested based on the predetermined factors and core uncertainties. In other words, uncertainties of emergence of the regions and global value chains generate four scenarios: regional growth, unstable hope, returning to the past, and regional conflicts. The 'regional growth' scenario is regarded as the most preferable, whereas the 'regional conflicts' scenario is unavoidable. In conclusion, we put forward some policy implications to boost the regional innovation system by exploiting the weakened global value chains in order to move on to the most preferable scenario away from the return to the past regime.

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant community challenges towards higher education around the world. The urgent and unexpected request for full-time university courses to switch over to online teaching was a particular challenge. Online learning and learning imply a certain pedagogical knowledge content (PKC), mainly related to the design and organization for better learning and the creation of unique learning environments using digital technologies. With the help of the present academic paper, we provide some expert opinion on the PKC connected with online learning with the aim of helping non-university professionals (that is, those with lack of online learning experience) navigate these challenging times. Our findings point to the planning of learning activities with certain features, a combination of three types of presence (social, cognitive and facilitative) and the need to adapt the assessment system to new learning requirements. We will conclude by contemplating on how responding to a crisis can improve teaching and learning practices in the post-digital era.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic made it necessary for medical schools to restructure their curriculum by switching from face-to-face instruction to various forms of flexible learning. Flexible learning is a student-centered approach to learning that has received interest in many educational sectors. It is a critical strategy for expanding access to higher education during the pandemic. As flexible learning includes online, blended, hybrid, and hyflex learning options, learners have the opportunity to select an instruction modality based on their needs and interests. The shift to flexible learning in medical education took place rapidly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and learners, instructors, and schools were not prepared for this instructional change. Through the lens of the technology acceptance model, human agency, and a social constructivist perspective, I examine students, instructors, and educational institutions' roles in successfully navigating the digital transformation era. The pandemic has also accelerated the use of advanced information and communication technologies, such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality, in learning. Through a review of the literature, this paper aimed to reflect on current flexible learning practices from the instructional design and educational technology perspective and explore emerging technologies that may be implemented in future medical education.

이 연구는 위드/포스트 코로나 시대에 가정과교육이 필수 교과로서 어떤 가치를 표방하여 필수교과로 자리매김할 수 있는가를 규명하고, 미래의 발전 방향을 제시하는데 목적을 두었다. 이를 위해 우선 위드/포스트 코로나시대로 상징되는 미래 사회의 변화를 문헌 고찰을 통해 진단했다. 또, 미래 변화에 대응하는 교육의 목적을 규명한 'OECD교육 2030' 프로젝트와 한국의 '교육비전 2045'를 고찰했다. 또, 영국의 교육철학자인 White의 교육 목적론을 고찰했다. 그 결과, 미래사회의 교육 목적은 사회와 개인의 웰빙으로 변화하고 있고, 이같은 교육 목적의 실현을 위해 웰빙 과목의 개발과 같은 노력을 여러 국가들에서 수행하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 우리나라에서 웰빙교육을 실행하기 위해서는 여러 가지 실행전략이 가능하지만, 가장 손쉬운 전략은 이미 교과로 존재하는 가정과교육을 강화하는 방안으로 제시했다. 또 위드/포스트 코로나 시대에 가정과교육이 필수교과로서 가지는 주요 가치는 사회와 개인이 웰빙을 추구하는데 필요한 다양한 역량을 함양시켜 주는 교과라는 점에 있다고 규명했다. 이것은 가정과교육에서 다루는 교육내용은 'OECD교육 2030'에서 웰빙의 기준이 된 OECD의 BLI 를 거의 모두 반영하고 있기 때문이다. 또, 전통적으로 가정교과가 '삶 중심의 생활교과'이며, 동시에 삶의 질 향상을 통해 개인 및 가족의 행복을 추구하기 위한 '행복추구역량'을 함양해 온 행복 교과의 성격을 가져왔기 때문이다. 마지막으로, 이 연구는 '행복 및 웰빙교육'으로서의 담론을 발달시켜 가는데 필요한 가정과교육의 이론적 개념틀을 개발하여 제시했다. 또 웰빙교육을 실행하는 가정과의 학습과정에서 학습자가 나타내게 될 고유한 사고 및 실행 과정을 나타내는 이론적 개념틀을 개발하여 제시했다. 추후 연구에서는 이같은 가정과의 웰빙교육의 담론이 더 많은 경험적 연구로 검증되기를 기대한다.
