The current study aims to examine whether dementia service utilization is associated with cognitive function and whether health literacy moderates the relationship between dementia service utilization and cognitive function. Data were drawn from the 2016 Dementia Literacy Survey collected by K University. The final analytic sample included 522 community-dwelling older Koreans aged 60 to 79. Results from multivariate regression analyses showed that both dementia service use and higher levels of health literacy were related to better cognitive function and that health literacy had significant moderating effects. When older adults used dementia service, those with higher levels of health literacy reported higher levels of cognitive function than those with lower levels of health literacy. Our findings suggest that health literacy plays an important role in determining the cognitive health benefits arising from dementia service utilization.

Computational Literacy education is being required in current digital age, but the educational strategy of it is lacking. In traditional education, instructors have been teaching by considering learners' characteristics for effective learning. It is necessary to investigate their characteristics for applying this method to computational literacy education. Therefore, we taught programming that is main area on computational literacy, and analyzed learners' characteristics focused on Felder's learning style and multiple intelligence. That is, we taught 194 university students computational literacy with scratch that was one of the popular educational programming languages, and analyzed the relation among learning style, multiple intelligence and the students' programming performance. Also, we found considerations through comparing students' characteristics with experts' ones.

In this paper, According to researches on the effectiveness analysis of digital textbooks for the last three years, it was turned out in digital textbook research school that learners' computer literacy is the most effective factor and the basic ability required to use digital textbooks. Therefore, in this paper, the effects of computer literacy on various factors were analyzed. For this purpose, after the level of learner's computer literacy was divided into upper, middle, and lower, and the effects of each level on cognitive aspects ability(problem solving ability, self-directed learning ability, and critical thinking ability) were analyzed. As a result, It turned out that the learner 's computer literacy has a close correlation with cognitive aspects ability(problem solving ability, self-directed learning ability, and critical thinking ability), and has a significant effect on cognitive aspects ability. In particular, the group with lower level of computer literacy had the greatest influence on the cognitive aspects ability, and the group with upper level had the greatest influence on the cognitive aspects ability in score improvement.

This study discusses whether digital literacy of Chinese white-collar workers influences informal learning and investigates the moderating effect of incentives on the relationship between digital literacy and informal learning. The aim of the research is twofold. First, it attempts to determine whether digital literacy of white-collar employees has a positive correlation with informal learning. The study further examines whether incentives from companies-material and non-material-have a moderating effect on the relationship between digital literacy of white-collar employees and informal learning. The ability to handle ICT devices and to utilize information both indicate positive correlations with knowledge acquisition through job performance, cultivation of self-development ability, and learning. Signficantly, the material and non-material incentives had a moderating effect only on the relationship between the ability to utilize information and knowledge acquisition through job performance, which was not revealed in other relationships. Overall, the findings may have practical implications of analysis to hire and train workers in Chinese companies and to design compensation schemes for corporate incentives.
