Information technology and globalization are two main forces that will bring in a social transition in the new millenium. Human Ecology, as a discipline to study the interaction between individuals and families and their environment, needs to define a new mission in changing social environments. This paper analyzes the forces behind this social transition and their influences to the lifestyle of individuals and families. It also defines new missions of Human Ecology in terms of education, subjects and methods of research, and public responsibilities. As the society changes, the paradigm of Human Ecology should be expanded to cover newly appearing environmental factors. It should be emphasized that these expanded areas should be under the unified field of Human Ecology to offer the integrated approaches that other specialized field may not offer.

This paper analyzed historical changes in early childhood curriculums from the 19th century to the present. The early childhood curriculum model of the past was based on a modernistic perspective characterized by science, rationality, objectivity, absolutism, and universality. It had been developed in terms of early human resource development to maximize efficiency and rationality for the future. In recent years, however, change occurred in the paradigm of education with the application of phenomenology, analytics, and postmodernism. Newer models for early childhood curriculum include the Reggio Emilia and Developmentally Appropriate Practice, which constitute the current mainstream of early childhood curriculum.

This study aims to probe for ideological construction within the linguistic structure of newspaper reporting. The study focuses on news reports relating the issue of new IOC chairman election in English version of four mainstream newspaper published in Korea: The Donga Daily News, The Jungang Daily News, The Chosun Daily News, and The Korea Times. The analysis of these reports adheres to the analytic paradigm of critical linguistic analysis and shows how the newspaper articulate conflicting ideological positions in their reports of new IOC chairman election. The analysis demonstrates how the event of new IOC chairman election is naturalized in racist accounts. This study is important for understanding the constructive nature of language practices. The study concludes with a discussion to explain the need for critical awareness in choosing right teaching material, considering that news reports are widely accepted as an authentic material for English education.

Ensuring technical ability is essential in the construction industry to increase competitiveness in the global market. A new paradigm is coming up in academic education system to cultivate the competent engineers. The major objective of this research is to suggest a positive learning pattern In order to overcome the limitations of the passive learning style. A case study, technical upgrading with a tower crane, us explained in terms of active learning process, results, and evaluation of students' performance.

Recently, the concept of ubiquitous learning which is regarded as so-called "beyond e-learning" has received remarkable interest along with the new social paradigm, namely, ubiquitous environment. The ubiquitous learning which is believed to lead educational renovation through information technology is recognized as the vision of future education. This paper intends to introduce the general ideas of ubiquitous learning and the present situation.

This paper describes the new trends of fashion industry in the era of digital media and Internet paradigm, where fashion is no longer just static contents. Fashion becomes crucial and dynamic contents for infotainment, mobile Internet, and digital media. As therefore, the fashion industry could be positioned as fashion information industry and key elements of fashion communication. In the future, fashion education should be repositioned as dynamic Intermediary not only for traditional textile design, costume design, and merchandising, but also for dynamic fashion information provider, fashion communication and fashion-oriented media related to digital Information, and Internet. As a case study, we briefly describe the successful co-marketing strategies of world-class luxury fashion brands, fashion media, and Internet service provider.

In this paper, we developed an intelligent web based e-learning system based on multi agents. To do development of the system, we applied an inclination test that is based on the education theory to do grouping the desirable e-learning community. The proposed system, Intelligent Web based e-learning Multi Agent System (IMAS), is used the multi agents paradigm including learning manner by neural network for grouping of e-learning community and a new distributed multi agent framework proposed here.

The emergence of ubiquitous autonomic computing and network environment will change the service architecture information system which will be a new application area in SCM/logistics systems. In this study we surveyed the technical trend map of ubiquitous and its application in SCM/logistics support system design. We described the evolutional model of ubiquitous computing community for SCM/logistics system. It is consisted of three view points; self-growing, autonomic, and context-aware, which will allow the decision makers to be benefited from web and mobile technology and are useful for proactive SCM/logistics support system. Finally, we suggested a cooperative research planning for the development ubiquitous system between the government research center, university, and industry research activities.

Internet was once used to link ideas, then people and now it is starting to connect all things. IoT constitutes a good paradigm to enable people to design and modify things, and then share their designs and modifications. Through the internet, things nowadays are able to exchange raw data and information, thus enabling the development of a new class of interconnected smart objects. Smart building block toy systema are a newly proposed concept that combines internet technology into educational blocks. It is composed of the IoT environment that has attracted attention recently. In this paper, we design a system using starUML, one of the program development tools in the system design process. Educational content can be shared to learners via the proposed service of the IoT, while also being interesting for young child learners.

The purpose of this study was to validate New Ecological Paradigm(NEP) Scale for use with elementary school students in Korea, and to obtain evidences of validation for interpreting the scores on the instrument. Three pilot tests were taken to modify and 1,003 fifth and sixth grade students in elementary schools participated in this survey. To examine the reliability and validity of the NEP Scale for elementary school students in Korea, item analysis(mena, skewness, kurtosis, item-total correlation), internal consistency estimate, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and t-test were used. After analyzing their results, the authors suggest that a 2-dimensional(pro-NEP, anti-NEP) modified NEP Scale, with 15 items and revised wording, is appropriate for use with elementary school students in Korea.
