Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status and contents of communication courses in dental hygiene programs in South Korea. Methods: Survey on dental communication training courses was done, and 51 schools (62.2%) responded among a total of 82 dental hygiene schools in Korea. The questionnaire was sent via e-mail and additional telephone calls were used to facilitate response. Statistical analysis and frequency analysis were done through SPSS 23.0 for windows program (copyright(c) SPSS Inc., USA). Results: The current establishment rates of dental communication courses in 3-year or 4-year dental hygiene programs were 96.9% and 84.2%, respectively. Such courses were identified as graduation requirement courses in 38.7% of the 3-year hygiene programs and 62.5% of the 4-year dental hygiene programs. When practical training sessions are included within such courses, 70% of such courses included 'discussion and presentation' and 'audio-visual aids' as a part of their contents, while 48.3% of them were utilizing 'role-playing'. Conclusions: As dental communication is one of the most important core competencies of dental hygienists, it should be included as a required course for graduation, and practical training such as 'role-playing' should be implemented in order to enhance communication skills in students.

The purpose of this study is to discovered assessment items for improving athletic efficiency and management of golf courses. Through this, the study intended to provide basic data for creating competitive golf courses and management. Important assessment items were selected by inducing preliminary assessment items and conducting a preliminary survey and a main survey for specialists through a theoretical study. For the survey results studied, reliability and average value for importance were calculated using SPSS/PC Window Release 12.0. As assessment of importance by assessment area, in athletic efficiency assessment, course management level was the highest, followed by fairness of games and operation of games. In management assessment, importance of service level, information management, facility management, management of game assistants, etc. were high. As assessment of importance by assessment item, it was found that 'variety of golf shot' and 'the length of a course' were important in course layout. Also 'start interval among teams' and 'disturbance of play' were assessed as important items in game operation, while 'fair reservation' and 'rounding rotation time' were important in fairness of games. In addition, in information management, 'kind service of golf course staffs' and 'prompt reservation and notification' were found to be important assessment items. In facility management, all assessment indexes were over 4.0, which means all of them are important for quality of golf course and competitiveness. In membership service, 'appropriate price of goods for sale' and 'service for members' were relatively important assessment items. Further, in management of game assistants, 'qualifications and skillfulness of game assistants' was assessed as a very important index. Although the current study only selected important items to assess excellent golf courses, it is necessary to apply the study results to the actual sites and verify them for golf course both at domestic and abroad.

There is not yet 4 years college education coursed for producing dental technicians in Korea. At present only 3 years college courses are provided for producing dental technicians. This is undesirable in that lots of professional vacations have been more and more speciallized by establishing 4 years college courses. To improve and elevate the ability of dental technicians. the establishment of more advanced educational courses, for example promoting present 3 years college courses to 4 years college courses, is urgently needed. This necessity become more evident when we take into account the ever increasing social demand for dental technicians.

We theoretically study the dynamics of water tetramer in intense femtosecond laser pulses with different frequencies. The simulations are carried out by incorporating the molecular dynamics method non-adiabatically into the time-dependent local-density approximation (TDLDA-MD). Three typical scenarios of water tetramer including the normal vibration with enlarged OH bonds, free OH bonds breaking and the pure Coulomb explosion are presented by investigating the electronic and ionic dynamics. The result indicates that the ionization is enhanced and the corresponding fragmentation effect as well as the damping of the dipole moment are found more notably when increasing the laser frequency especially when the frequency falls in the resonant region of the absorption spectra. The study of the level depletion reveals that the ratio of the emission amount from different levels can be controlled by changing the laser frequency referring to the Keldysh parameter.

This study explored the consistency in service-learning courses through comparing course syllabi and faculty survey in order to incorporate a service-learning course into the Home Economics practicum. The first step was to examine how consistent were between the reasons for choice of service-learning and importance of overall civic learning goals, between the importance of civic learning goals and educational objectives on syllabus, and between planned activities and accomplished activities. This study collected the descriptive and quantitative data from the syllabi for service-learning courses and a faculty survey at Texas Tech University. The major findings were that there was meaningful consistency between: the reasons for choosing service-learning and the importance of overall civic learning goals, the importance of civic learning goals and educational objectives, and planned activities on syllabus assignment and accomplished activities on the faculty survey related to course components. Future research regarding service-learning course design would be required in detail, and practice in designing service-learning courses would be consistent between the syllabus and performance in actual courses.

This article describes the development, evaluation and dissemination of biological nursing (bionursing) science courses established in Korea. Prior to this innovation the subject such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, pharmacology and pathology were taught by non-nursing faculties, such as basic medical science faculty members. And it often did not meet and satisfy the needs of most undergraduate nursing students. To meet these needs, we have developed four bionursing courses by overhauling individual courses and integrating these by creating new titles, objectives, and contents. In this process, the Korean Society of Biological Nursing has made enormous efforts to standardize the contents of the courses and to develop standard syllabus of four bionursing subjects. This article also suggests for further development of bionursing science such as enhanced linkage of the contents of bionursing science courses with clinical practice, reinforcement of teaching competency of professors, and activation of researches using various biological measurement to provide concrete evidences for nursing practice.
