Background: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in Korea. To reduce cancer incidence, the Korean National Cancer Center (KNCC) has been expanding its organized cancer screening program. In addition, there are opportunistic screening programs that can be chosen by individuals or their healthcare providers. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors associated with participation in organized and opportunistic cancer screening programs, with a particular focus on socioeconomic factors. Materials and Methods: We used data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), a cross-sectional nationwide study conducted by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare from 2007 to 2011. The study included information from 9,708 men and 12,739 women aged 19 years or over. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted, adjusting for age, year of data collection, residential region, current smoking status, current alcohol consumption status, exercise, marriage status, job status, perceived health status, stress level, BMI, limitation of activities, cancer history, health insurance type, and private insurance status, to investigate the association between education level, economic status, and cancer screening participation. Results: In terms of education level, disparities in attendance were observed only for the opportunistic screening program. In contrast, there was no association between education level and participation in organized screening. In terms of economic status, disparities in opportunistic screening participation were observed at all income levels, but disparities in organized screening participation were observed only at the highest income level. Conclusions: Our findings reveal that socioeconomic factors, including educational level and economic status, were not significantly associated with participation in organized cancer screening, except at the highest level of income.

본 연구의 목적은 소수 나눗셈을 도입하는 수업에서 아동들이 소수 나눗셈을 이해하는 과정을 분석하고 소수 나눗셈 학습과 관련한 어려움을 극복하는 과정에서 아동들이 전개하는 논리적 추론의 특징을 분석하는 것이다. 초등학교와 중학교 수학에 어떤 차이점이 있다면 그것은 논리적 추론의 특성에서 찾을 수 있다. 따라서 초등학교 고학년 아동의 논리적 추론의 특성을 탐구할 필요가 있으며 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 초등학교 5학년 아동을 대상으로 (자연수)${\div}$(소수) 학습을 하면서 나타나는 논리적 추론의 특성을 규명하였다. 연구 결과 5학년 아동들은 구체적 조작 수준을 넘어 가설-연역적 추론의 수준을 경험하면서 형식적 조작기의 특성을 보였다. 그리고 두 종류의 가역성 가운데 상반성에 기초한 아동의 설명은 소수 나눗셈과 관련한 어려움을 극복하는데 효과적이라는 것과 함께 이런 가역성은 아동들이 곱셈과 나눗셈을 같은 연산 체계로 이해할 수 있게 함을 알 수 있다.

Background: This study aimed to explore the associations of social-demographic, health-behavioral, and woman-specific factors with the non-screening status of the cervical cancer screening test in Korean adult women. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional analysis of 9,698 Korean adult women aged 20 years or more who participated in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys V (2010-2012). Rao-Scott chi-square tests and survey logistic regression analyses were employed respectively to analyze the difference in the non-screening status of the cervical cancer screening test by each characteristic and to explore the factors related to the non-screening status. Results: The rate of the non-screening status of the cervical cancer screening test was 53.5% over the previous 2 years. In the survey logistics regression analysis, age, marital status, educational levels, income levels, residential area, occupation, private health insurance, smoking, alcohol, obesity, menstrual status, pregnancy experience, and hormone replacement therapy were significantly associated with the non-screening status of the cervical cancer screening test. Conclusion: On the basis of the results of this study, some social-demographic, health-behavioral, and woman-specific characteristics of Korean adult women seem to affect the non-screening status of the cervical cancer screening test. Therefore, appropriate health policies need to be designed, implemented, monitored, and evaluated to reduce the non-screening status of the cervical cancer screening test of them.

Purpose: This aim of the present study was to assess a newly developed education program for HIV/AIDS counseling nurses. Methods: An education program was developed based on literature reviews, previous project analysis, focus group interview and expert meetings. The program comprised of 3 levels: basic, advanced, and intensive, which included 80, 70, and 60 hours of education, respectively. From May to December in 2012, 17 counseling nurses completed the program and we evaluated their learning achievements, attitudes towards AIDS, confidence in consultation, empathic ability, and training sessions. We also measured the nurses' satisfaction with the program before and after completion. Results: After completing a monthly education program lasting 12-15 hours, the nurses' mean learning achievement was 88.5%, 88.3% and 91.4% out of the basic, advanced, and intensive levels, respectively. Although the nurses' attitudes towards AIDS did not change, their confidence and empathic abilities increased following the basic and intensive components of the programs. Satisfaction with the educational sessions and program operation was 4.23 out of 5.0. Conclusion: This newly developed education program for HIV/AIDS counseling nurses promoted learning achievements as well as, confidence and empathic ability in consultation. HIV/AIDS counseling nurses should receive continuous education opportunities to enhance their potential.

제7차 교육과정에서 수학교육은 다양한 개인의 능력을 고려하여 학습내용의 적정화, 학습자중심의 활동중심수업 증가, 단계형 수준별 교육을 지향하고 있다. 그러나 실제 초등학교의 많은 교사들이 수학 학습지도에서 겪고 있는 어려움 중의 하나가 상당수의 학생들이 교과서의 내용을 최소한 몇 개월 정도 미리 배워오기 때문에 학교수업은 수준이 낮아 흥미가 없다고 냉소하고, 그렇지 못한 학생들은 학교수업이 너무 부담이 되어 흥미를 잃고 있어 현실적인 대안이 시급하다는 것이다. 이러한 초등수학교실의 문제를 해결할 수 있는 방안의 하나로 적절한 교수·학습자료 활용의 수업을 들 수 있다. 이는 아동들에게는 보다 흥미 있는 수업을, 교사들에게는 보다 효과적으로 학습목표에 도달할 수 있게 할 수 있다. 이를 구체적으로 실천하기 위해 초등학교 교과서에서 비중이나 학습난이도가 높은 단원을 찾아 효과적인 교수· 학습자료의 활용방안과 앞으로 자료개발에 도움을 주고자 하였다.
