  • 본 연구의 목적은 생물 영역에서 의사결정 문제에 대한 고등학교 학생의 관심도를 조사하는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 생물학적 지식이 관련되는 문제에서 학생의 의사결정력을 신장시킬 수 있는 공통과학의 교육과정과 교수 전략을 개발하기 위한 탐색연구의 성격을 지닌다. 의사결정 문제에 대한 관심도를 조사하기 위해 수도권 지역의 고등학교 1학년 학생들을 표집 대상으로 하였다. 조사 도구는 5점 척도의 리커르트 타입 24문항으로 구성된 것으로 연구자에 의해 개발되었다. 조사 결과 가장 관심도가 높은 문제로는 '학습 방법 선태하기'였다. 또한 '운동' 이나 '다이어트' 방법을 선택하기와 같이 개인적으로 당면한 문제나 '소음 기준안' 결정하기, ' 뇌사' 나 '인공 중절' 에 대한 찬 반의견 결정하기와 같은 사회적으로 쟁점화된 문제에 대한 관심도 또한 높았다. 개인적 상황의 의사결정 문제에 대한 관심도가 사회적 상황의 관심도 보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.01). 남학생의 관심도는 'AIDS', '쓰레기 소각장'원자력 발전소'. 멸종 위기에 처한 생물에 대한 보호 대책 '소음 기준안'의 문제에 대해서 여학생의 관심도 보다 높았다 (p<0.05). 또한 '환경 및 생태계 오염' 영역의 문제들에 대한 관심도에서 여학생 보다 더 높았다 그러나 여학생은 '다이어트', '대리모' 문제에서 남학생의 관심도 보다 높았다. (p<0.05) 분석된 결과의 합의를 교수 전략과 교육과정의 측면에서 논의하였다.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop an environmental education program using newspaper articles in education (NIE) and to evaluate changes in concern and practice for environmental protection after NIE. Methods: The design was a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The participants were university students in nursing, of which 31 were assigned to the experimental group and 43 to the control group. The education was carried out for 2 hr, once a week for 7 weeks. Data were analyzed with SPSS WIN 14 program, and included $x^2$ test, independent t-test, and repeated measure ANOVA. Results: NIE showed significant differences in the changes of attitude toward environment (F=4.461, p=.036). Conclusion: Findings suggest that this NIE in environmental education was effective in changing students' attitudes toward the environment. Therefore this NIE is recommended for inclusion in education for university students in nursing.

  • Public rental housing in Korea has been initially provided for residential stability of low-income household focusing on solving quantitative insufficiency since 1980s. In the process of early stage of designing and planning public rental housing, qualitative aspects of considering children were not primary concern. This study aims to analyze the priority of environmental improvement of outdoor spaces for children's safety in public rental housing. First, literature review was performed in the reference of local residential safety guidelines, Universal Design, and CPTED guidelines. In each guidelines, common safety planning factors for children were extracted within different types of outdoor spaces. Second, based on literature analysis, residents evaluated importance and satisfaction level by different safety types, outdoor space type, and environmental planning factors. In results, residents evaluated high importance and showed low satisfaction for crime and traffic safety. Through IPA, facilities and parking space was evaluated where improvement is needed for the first priority, and planning factors were mostly concerned with surveillance and safety management system. Result shows general concern of public rental housing residents, about weak facility management and security system, and about socially isolated environment which heightened the fear of crime safety. Overall, poor maintenance of the complex environment and decrepit facilities are constantly raising risk of safety accidents especially for children. Considering residents' concern, environmental improvement should be considered in perspective of not only physical repair, but also facility management and security system.

  • 최근 해양환경법제도에 관한 정비작업이 활발하게 진행되고 있는바, 이는 "지속가능한 개발원칙"과 "사전예방주의 윈칙"을 "법(law)"의 형태로 내재화하고 "정책(policy)"으로 실현하기 위한 노력의 일환이라고 할 수 있다. 연안침식 방지, 기후변화 대책마련과 같이 해양환경에 관한 입법수요는 지속될 것으로 예상된다. 향후에는 해양환경 관련 법률의 법체계를 합리적으로 정비함으로써 법률간 연계성 및 정책의 효율성을 제고하는 것이 필요하다. 또한 해양환경을 효율적으로 보전하기 위해서는 법률과 정책의 정비와 함께 체계적인 연구와 조사가 지속적으로 이루어져야 한다.

  • This study categorizes consumers by the style of consumers' purchase behavior, and examines the differences in consumers' attitudes toward environment and pro-environmental behavior in the stage of purchase, usage, and disposal. The results of this study are summarized below: First, The style of consumers' purchase behavior can be categorized on a basis of four factors: fashioned-demonstrative consumer group focusing on fashion and demonstration effects when purchasing; rational consumer group more likely to concern price, quality, and product function; indifferent consumer group having no interest in purchasing; and fashioned-functional consumer group who values not only fashion but function. Second, the result of investigating the differences of consumers' attitudes toward environment reveals that the level of concern and awareness for environment is highest in rational consumer group, but lowest in indifferent consumer group. Also, it is higher in fashioned-functional consumer group than in fashioned-demonstrative consumer group. Lastly, the level of pro-environmental behavior in the stage of purchase, usage, and disposal is highest in rational consumer group, but lowest in indifferent consumer group. The level of pro-environmental behavior in usage stage is inactive in fashioned-demonstrative consumer group, whereas that in disposal stage is active in fashioned-functional consumer group for fashioned-demonstrative consumer group. It was so, especially in the area of not-being-a-litterbug.

  • In recent years the demand for energy conservation has resulted in "tight" buildings with decreased air change rates. Although a reduction in air change rates can save energy utilized for heating or cooling of dwellings, there is an increased concern for the air quality of the indoor environment where individuals spend most of their lifetime (Schwab et al., 1990).., 1990).

  • Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) including endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) and pharmaceuticals and personal care product chemicals (PPCPs) have recently received more attention because of their occurrence in water bodies and harmful impacts on human health and aquatic organisms. Triclosan is widely used as a synthetic broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent due to its antimicrobial efficacy. However, triclosan detected in aquatic environment has been recently considered as one of CECs, because of the potential for endocrine disruption, the formation of toxic by-products and the development of cross-resistance to antibiotics in aquatic environment. This comprehensive review focuses on the regulations, toxicology, fate and transport, occurrence and removal efficiency of triclosan. Overall, this review aims to provide better understanding of triclosan and insight into application of biological treatment process as an efficient method for triclosan removal.

  • This study investigated the self-related and parental factors that influence depression in 204 adolescents from a low social economic status background. The self-related factors were self-trust and emotional regulation, and the parental factors were parental concern and domestic violence. The results showed that girls were more likely to be depressive, but had better emotional regulations and a closer relationship with their parents than boys. There was no significant difference between age groups with respect to parental concern, self-trust and emotion regulation. It was also found by regression analyses that girls' depression was predicted by both emotional regulation and parental concern while boys' depression was predicted only by self-trust. The finding suggested that intervention for boys' depression has to focus more on intrapersonal factors, but should emphasize interpersonal factors for girls.

  • The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the consumption behavior and perceptions of environment-friendly agricultural products(EAPs) by university students in the Chonbuk area, Korea. Self-administered questionnaires were collected from 309 university students(male 33.0%, female 67.0%). Descriptive and comparative statistical analyses was completed using SPSS v. 12.0. The percentage of subjects who purchased EAPs was 70.9%. Of those, 87.2% had EAPs purchased by their mothers. The most purchased EAPs were vegetables, the primary reason for which was the perception of 'good for health'(73.1%). The main information source about EAPs was 'familes/freinds'. The average scores of 'attitude toward EAPs', 'knowledge toward EAPs', 'concern toward EAPs' were $3.76{\pm}0.57$, $2.91{\pm}0.61$ and $3.29{\pm}0.43$, respectively. With regards to 'attitude toward EAPs', the scores were significantly affected by 'self-reported health status'(p<0.05). With regard to 'knowledge toward EAPs' and 'concern toward EAPs', the scores were significantly affected by 'supplements for health' (p<0.05; p<0.001). For university students' right choices of EAPs, information and consumer education wthin the university curriculum on these products are necessary.
