본 연구의 목적은 저출산 사회에서 가정교과내용, 지역사회와 연계활동, 정책참여와 지지활동의 측면에서 가정과교육의 역할과 나아갈 방향을 모색하는 데 있었다. 2007 개정 교육과정에 반영된 저출산 관련 내용을 살펴본 결과, 가정교과에서는 8학년, 9학년, 10학년에서 학년별 연계성을 가지고 체계적으로 내용을 구성하여 미래에 가정을 꾸릴 학생들에게 긍정적인 가족관과 자녀관을 가질 수 있도록 하였다. 반면 사회교과에서는 저출산 고령화 현상의 원인과 해결방안을 살펴보는 것으로 한정되어 있고, 과학교과에서는 임신과 출산의 과정을 과학적 지식으로 다루고, 도덕교과에서는 저출산과 직접적으로 관련되는 내용을 거의 다루고 있지 않았다. 즉, 가정교과가 저출산을 다루는 주 교과로서의 역할과 책임이 있다. 중등학교와 지역사회, 대학과 지역사회를 연계한 교육과정의 개발, 동아리 활동, 구체적인 수업 방법을 개발하여 청소년들이 지역사회의 맥락에서 다양한 방법으로 인구문제와 관련한 활동을 할 수 있도록 하는 것이 중요하다. 또한 가정학 전문가의 적극적인 정책참여와 지지활동은 개인, 가족, 사회, 국가정책에 기여하며, 교과의 역랑을 발휘하여 저출산과 관련한 인구문제를 해결하는 교과로 거듭날 수 있다. 가정과교육의 나아갈 방향으로 저출산 극복을 위해 창의적 체험활동의 동아리 활동, 지역사회 봉사활동, 범교과 활동을 지원할 수 있는 다양한 프로그램의 개발에 가정과 교사가 적극적으로 참여하고, 지역사회에서 가족 아동 육아 저출산 고령화와 관련한 인구문제에 전문적인 지식을 갖춘 가정과 교사로서 평생교육의 강사요원으로 활동하며, 저출산 극복을 위한 적극적인 정책참여와 지지활동에 참여할 것이 제안되었다. 이를 통하여 자신의 삶과 지역사회, 국가의 안녕을 위한 변화의 주체를 육성하는 교과로 위상을 높일 수 있다.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a policy change to expand Korean National Health Insurance (KNHI) benefit coverage to include scaling on access to dental care at the national level. Methods: A nationally representative sample of 12,794 adults aged 20 to 64 years from Korea National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (2010-2014) was analyzed. To examine the effect of the policy on the outcomes of interest (unmet dental care needs and preventive dental care utilization in the past year), an estimates-based probit model was used, incorporating marginal effects with a complex sampling structure. The effect of the policy on individuals depending on their income and education level was also assessed. Results: Adjusting for potential covariates, the probability of having unmet needs for dental care decreased by 6.1% and preventative dental care utilization increased by 14% in the post-policy period compared to those in the pre-policy period (2010, 2012). High income and higher education levels were associated with fewer unmet dental care needs and more preventive dental visits. Conclusions: The expansion of coverage to include scaling demonstrated to have a significant association with decreasing unmet dental care needs and increasing preventive dental care utilization. However, the policy disproportionately benefited certain groups, in contrast with the objective of the policy to benefit all participants in the KNHI system.

In this study, we analyzed the problems of grade 3~4 science textbooks developed for the 2007 revised national curriculum raised by elementary school teachers. 53 elementary school teachers were selected and asked to complete the open questionnaire to find out the problems they experienced or perceived when they taught the corresponding unit of the science textbooks. The responses were coded and categorized through researchers' cross analysis. The result revealed various problems in using the science textbooks in real classroom context. The problems were divided into three dimensions as inquiry activity aspect, science knowledge aspect, and science learning assessment aspect. Each dimension consisted of several categories. We explained the frequency and representative examples of the problems in each category. These can provide some guidelines and implications for new science textbook developers and science education policy makers.

This study investigated whether an educational program could alter students' perceptions of the causes of and solutions to climate change. On October 23, 2020, a 3-hour climate change educational program was provided to 400 high school students in Suncheon City, (Jeonnam Province, South Korea). According to the program, climate change represents a social dilemma, or tragedy of the commons; it also asserts that collective action aimed at strengthening government policy is the optimal solution to climate change, and concludes that motivated citizens should convey their opinions directly to the government through political action. After the program, the students made and shared placards calling for policy-based responses to climate change. Questionnaires completed by the students before and after the program revealed that their perceptions of the causes of and solutions to climate change changed significantly. This case study indicates that education programs have the potential to alter students' perspectives and promote actions aimed at mitigating and adapting to climate change.

Korea has pursued an aggressive policy of inviting more foreign-born students to its universities since the late 1990s in the wake of the globalization of education markets and its changing demographic structure. While increasingly more students from Asia come to Korea for study, more than half of the graduates return home upon graduation. Given the issues of brain drain, brain circulation, and knowledge transfer that are raised by such a high return rate, this paper examines the factors that frame the foreign students' decision on their post-graduation careers. By analyzing survey data, we report that Asian students majoring in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are more likely to return than non-STEM majors. This suggests that Korea's aggressive policies of inviting foreign-born students have contributed to brain circulation and knowledge transfer between Korea and the other Asian countries. We also find that scholarships from Korean sources and positive attitudes toward Korean culture and life increase their inclination to stay in the country upon graduation. These findings, however, raise more questions than answers, since it becomes obvious that their post-graduation decisions are highly affected by what Korea as a society provides.

The purpose of this study is to describe the characteristics associated with the hypertension educated population, and to develop and analyze a simple predictive model of the hypertension management education status. Based on the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2008, a cross-sectional design was used in this study. An effective 1.165 adults(${\geq}30$) sample was divided into a participation group (n=66) and a non-participation group(n=1,099), and to compare demographic, socio-economic and health characteristics between two groups. Moreover, predictors associated with participation in hypertension education programs were identified by the logistic regression analysis. The participation rate in hypertension education in Korea is only 5.7% which is vastly low given the various programs were provided, and there are statistically significant differences between a participation group and a non-participation group in age(p=0.050), marital status(p=0.002), education level(p=0.000), and residence area(p=0.037). Furthermore, age for 40-49 years(OR : 0.207), education level of high school(OR : 2.579) and college(OR : 6.417), duration of hypertension(OR : 1.044), CVA(OR : 2.463), and blood pressure(OR : 1.041) are statistically significant predictors associated with the participation in hypertension education programs. To increase the participation of hypertension education program, variables such as age, education level, duration of hypertension, CVA, and blood pressure are more concerned. And, high-risk patients and family members need targeted outreach programs.

The amount of wood waste from furniture production is increasing. Wood waste is diverse and ranges from wood-splitting residues to leftovers from furniture production. Wood waste occurs in companies, household-based industries, and other forms of business where waste accumulates; therefore, an environmental and ethical policy is needed. The aim of this study was to identify products created using wood waste and describe government regulations related to environmental policies. We analyzed the management of wood waste for use as a new product so that it is useful, does not become waste, and complies with policies related to environmental ethics. A case study design using qualitative methods was used. This research focused on managing wood waste in Jepara's furniture and crafts industry for the 2010-2021 period, using 23 sources from primary, secondary, and other supporting documents. Data were collected through observation or gathering information related to research needs, conducting closed-door interviews with research sources, documenting data to strengthen research findings, and using online questionnaires to corroborate information related to wood waste management. This article presents wood waste products designed with optimized environmental ethics and awareness of environmental laws in wood-based industries.

This study investigated student engagement of STEM-specialized higher education institutions in comparison with students from humanities & social science and STEM majors, respectively. By doing so, the study aimed to find the effects of the characteristics of STEM disciplines and organizational culture of STEM-specialized small-sized institutions on student engagement. The students majoring STEM disciplines, regardless of the organizational types, showed lower reflective-integrative learning experiences compared to students on humanities & social science disciplines. In contrast, students of STEM-specialized institutions reported significantly higher levels of peer relationship and student-faculty interaction in comparison with humanities & social science students and STEM students of general higher education institutions. Finally, the study suggests policy implications for STEM education.
