This paper analyzed the narrative construction of ‘World of Warcraft’ which is very popular worldwide. Narratology and ludology should be interrelated in the larger area of art, rather than existing as separate fields. Dramatic narrative constructions of game would be made when the rules of game emerge with the circumstances of play. This paper reviews how 'World of Warcraft' generates its tremendous popularity through analyzing the overall narratives of 'World of Warcraft' and sub-narratives such as quest, PvP and hunting systems. The distinctive feature of this game is its well-designed story flow which is emerged by both underlying linear original story and non-linear multi-scenario that offers rich interactivities to the game users.

This paper aims to reveal that 'identity' plays the crucial role of explaining the relation between humans and space. Geography is preoccupied with footprints of humans which are engraved on the ground. It explores why such tokens are left over. It explains the existence of humans through footsteps of them. Men leaves traces of themselves to notify that who I was and who we were. The traces left behind by humans contain narratives of their own. Through those narratives, the very men who left the traces on the ground are to be grasped. A trace engraved by a person expresses its own identity of representing that person, so the narrative contained by one trace is the narrative of that individual. The identify which is composed of its own narrative can be largely divided into two types. The two are 'changing identity' and 'unchanging identity'. 'Changing identity' shapes the identity of oneself by difference. 'Unchanging identity' constructs the identity by identifying itself with sameness. However, as one's figure in everyday life becomes identical or different, identity also varies through processes of generation and repetition. Therefore, identity is currently changing and in progress.

The "AR Campus Diary" project innovates in the realm of art through integrating augmented reality (AR) with interactive storytelling, fostering personal and interpersonal development through artistic expression. This artistic endeavor metaphorically represents the growth and fruition of individual stories, facilitated by a series of progressive art activities that emphasize continual interaction between self and others. Set against the backdrop of a university campus, the project employs AR markers designed to unfold stories in phases through a dedicated application, allowing participants to experience and influence the narrative uniquely. Diverging from traditional film editing techniques, "AR Diary" offers viewers the autonomy to navigate through story segments of their choosing, marking a departure from conventional cinematic storytelling by leveraging marker-based plot progression. This project not only showcases the fusion of technology and art but also pioneers a participatory form of art education based on engagement and play.

The purpose of this study is to figure out the effects of multimedia fairy tale and narrative fairy tale lectures on children's language expression ability and drawing representation ability. To achieve this, this study was conducted from March to April, 2011 with 50 five-year-old children(25 children in the experimental group and 25 children in the comparative group) in K and S kindergartens at D metropolitan city. The results were as follows. First, the score of children's language expression ability was higher in the multimedia fairy tale lecture group than in the narrative fairy-tale lecture group. Second, the score of children's drawing representation ability was higher in the multimedia fairy tale lecture group than in the narrative fairy-tale lecture group. As for findings stated above, educational activities with multimedia were important in early childhood education. Consequently, children can better understand stories through multimedia fairy tales and various language activities, and improve their language expression ability and drawing representation ability through the process of exploring and drawing heroes in fairy tales. However, they have more need of educational activities, which are complementary to the merit of narrative fairy tale, than educational activities for only multimedia fairy tale lecture.

This study was to find the perception of mathematical & scientific learning of North Korean students who lived in Korea. To understand their perception, three groups as the focus group for clinical interview, consisting of North Korean students, their teaches and their parents, were investigated through narrative description of qualitative method, North Korean students experienced the gap between what they had learned and what they learned in Korea, due to visiting the 3rd country before they came to Korea. So they were in need of well developed instructional instruments based on a precise diagnosis of language ability to help them get over their difficulties. Second, they have difficulties in math & science classes due to differences between curricular and to the differences between the ways of expression of terminologies used in two countries. They expressed that the group work in learning and a great deal of number of problems could be helpful for their needs. Third, the community-service center should be operated in a systematic way to compensate their lack of getting a private education. Fourth, they thought that the supplemental materials should provide some sources that might help them to get over the language barrier and difficulties from the differences, because they depended on them.

The purposes of this study were to explore the relations of preschoolers' narrative representation profile types to diurnal cortisol regulation pattern at home. Fourteen story stems from the MacArthur Story Stem Battery (MSSB, Bretherton, et al., 1990) were administered to 40 preschoolers(22 boys, 18 girls, aged 5) recruited from 8 kindergartens in the Seoul and Gyeonggi areas. And also, their saliva cortisol was collected. The children's responses were aggregated into 5 dimensions, based on content themes and performance scores, which included emotions expressed and narrative coherence using the MacArthur Narrative Coding System(Robinson, et al., 2004). Data were analyzed by means of cluster analysis. Five response profiles emerged over the course of this research: Prosocial, Anxiety, Dyregulated aggression, Restricted, and Avoidance profiles. Cortisol at home showed decrease diurnal cortisol regulation patterns, however it showed a difference according to narrative response profiles. Restricted, Prosocial, and Avoidance profiles showed decrease diurnal cortisol regulation patterns. Anxiety profiles showed flat pattern, and Dyregulated aggression profile showed rising diurnal cortisol regulation pattern. These results show the preschoolers' internal representation may affect the diurnal cortisol reaction in daytime.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the narrative meaning of the peritext in the picture-book of 『The Legend of Pat-bing-su』. For the purpose, based on the narrative components proposed by Nam and Kim, the narrative meanings of the peritext were analyzed. As the results, the peritexts of 『The Legend of Red Pat-bing-su』 include basic information of the title, author's name, and publication information, and physical elements of hard cover binding with matte rectangular paper that matches the narrative, which support prior understanding of the narratives. In addition, the peritext components such as covers, endpapers, title page, and copyright page lead readers to predict or expand narratives components to predict, expand, or transform the narrative, and provide additional information for understanding plots or genres.

This study inquired following research questions by a narrative research method : What was the job of an engineer in mechanical design field? How did he fulfill his job-related learning in his workplace? What were the context and the characteristic of the job-related learning in the workplace? And some implications of the job-related learning on engineering education were discussed. We identified that the research participant's career as a mechanical engineer has developed through three stages. At first, he engaged on conceptual design of a semi-conductor test machine through self-initiated learning from basic to whole system of the machine. At second stage, he leaded a design group for the concrete design of a ball type semi-conductor test machine. In this stage he learned the meaning of cooperation and cooperative learning. At third stage, he initiated to found an entrepreneur company that was specified to design a semi-conductor test machine. He became CEO of the company. He learned the R & D policy making through contacts with global company, visiting exhibition in abroad. Eventually his main task as a mechanical engineer was the problem solving in the process of machine design. He had experienced and learned through his works : project management, independent fulfilling of tasks, functional analysis and reverse engineering, conceptualizing and test, cohesive cooperation, dialogue and discussion, mediation of conflict, human relationship, leadership. The implication of the narrative analysis on engineering education is, proposed, to give the students more chances to experience and to learn such activities.

The purpose of this study is to explore the ways in which scientists reflect on the scientific practices, based on the premise that reflection is one of key elements for shaping scientific identities. This paper specifically considers scientists' reflections as the processes in which their senses of ethical issues and the value of science are articulated. To do so, the study developed a narrative inquiry for exploring the value of scientists' stories. Fourteen professional scientists' stories were collected in the context of the stem cell research, in ways that foreground their reflections on current scientific practices and the surrounding socio-cultural conditions. As for ethical issues, scientists' stories were analysed in terms of four claims regarding the themes of bioethics, integrity, scientific issues and communication. Furthermore, scientists' reflections on the value of science were analysed in relation to the elements of nature of science. Based on the results, discussion focused on the value of science stories as an instrument with which to guide students into the enculturation in the practices of scientific culture.
