  • 본 연구는 학교급식 수산물 식재료의 적절한 가격 결정을 위하여 공급업체와의 계약, 납품 현황 및 수산물 식재료의 사용 현황과 수산물 식재료 가격 인식, HACCP 적용 편익에 따른 영양(교)사의 가격 인식을 조사하였다. 대부분의 학교(96.5%)가 수산물 전문 취급업체로부터 납품받는 것으로 조사되었다. 납품 시 계약 위반을 경험한 학교가 42.1%였고, 특히 빙의로 인한 무게 감소를 이유로 반품 및 교환을 한 학교가 총 89곳(60.1%)인 것으로 나타났다. 현재 공급되는 수산물 식재료에 대한 만족도는 '제품의 가격', '제품의 품질', '원산지 진위'에 대한 항목에서 수의계약으로 납품되는 수산물이 경쟁입찰방식으로 공급되는 식재료보다 유의적으로 높아(P<0.05) 계약방법에 따른 수산물 식재료의 만족도는 차이가 있었다. 응답자들의 재계약 의도 또한 경쟁입찰로 선정된 공급업체보다 수의계약으로 선정된 공급업체에 대해 유의적으로 높게 인식하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다(P<0.001). 학교급식 수산물 식재료의 가격요소 반영 정도는 '이윤($5.96{\pm}1.15$)'과 'HACCP 지정 및 유지 비용($5.57{\pm}1.40$)' 항목이 현재 납품되는 수산물 가격에 가장 크게 반영되는 요소로 인식하고 있었다. 반면 향후 수산물 식재료 가격 산정에 가장 많이 반영되어야 한다고 응답한 요소는 'HACCP 지정 및 유지 비용($5.29{\pm}1.39$)'이고, 가장 낮게 반영되어야 한다고 인식된 요소가 '이윤($4.12{\pm}1.12$)'인 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 '가공비용'을 제외한 나머지 5개 가격요소 모두 현재 가격 반영 정도와 향후 기대 가격 반영정도 간의 유의적인 차이가 있는 것으로 조사되었다(P<0.05). HACCP 지정 수산물 식재료 구매 시 미지정 제품에 비해 얼마나 비용을 추가적으로 지불할 의사가 있는가에 대한 응답은 9.9%의 응답자를 제외한 대부분의 응답자들이 추가 지불 의사가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 수산물은 산지에서 수확되는 생산량과 어획 시기에 따른 물량 확보의 가변성으로 시장 가격에 대한 객관성이 부족하다. 특히 학교급식에 납품되는 수산물 식재료의 가격은 재래시장이나 할인점 등에서 임의로 조사된 근거에 따라 전자입찰 예정가격이 산정되는 문제점도 있을 것으로 사료되어 수산물 식재료의 가격산정과 관련하여 구매방법 전반에 대하여 논의가 이루어져야 할 것이다. 본 연구의 결과는 수산물 식재료의 가격 산정에 대한 소비자 측면에서의 가격 인식과 수산물 식재료의 구매에 관한 정보를 제공함으로써 학교급식에서 양질의 수산물을 공급하고, 합리적인 수산물 가격 결정을 통해 수산물의 소비를 촉진하는 데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

  • Digital Convergence means integration between industry, technology, and contents, and in marketing, it usually comes with creation of new types of product and service under the base of digital technology as digitalization progress in electro-communication industries including telecommunication, home appliance, and computer industries. One can see digital convergence not only in instruments such as PC, AV appliances, cellular phone, but also in contents, network, service that are required in production, modification, distribution, re-production of information. Convergence in contents started around 1990. Convergence in network and service begins as broadcasting and telecommunication integrates and DMB(digital multimedia broadcasting), born in May, 2005 is the symbolic icon in this trend. There are some positive and negative expectations about DMB. The reason why two opposite expectations exist is that DMB does not come out from customer's need but from technology development. Therefore, customers might have hard time to interpret the real meaning of DMB. Time is quite critical to a high tech product, like DMB because another product with same function from different technology can replace the existing product within short period of time. If DMB does not positioning well to customer's mind quickly, another products like Wibro, IPTV, or HSPDA could replace it before it even spreads out. Therefore, positioning strategy is critical for success of DMB product. To make correct positioning strategy, one needs to understand how consumer interprets DMB and how consumer's interpretation can be changed via communication strategy. In this study, we try to investigate how consumer perceives a new product, like DMB and how AD strategy change consumer's perception. More specifically, the paper segment consumers into sub-groups based on their DMB perceptions and compare their characteristics in order to understand how they perceive DMB. And, expose them different printed ADs that have messages guiding consumer think DMB in specific ways, either cellular phone or personal TV. Research Question 1: Segment consumers according to perceptions about DMB and compare characteristics of segmentations. Research Question 2: Compare perceptions about DMB after AD that induces categorization of DMB in direction for each segment. If one understand and predict a direction in which consumer perceive a new product, firm can select target customers easily. We segment consumers according to their perception and analyze characteristics in order to find some variables that can influence perceptions, like prior experience, usage, or habit. And then, marketing people can use this variables to identify target customers and predict their perceptions. If one knows how customer's perception is changed via AD message, communication strategy could be constructed properly. Specially, information from segmented customers helps to develop efficient AD strategy for segment who has prior perception. Research framework consists of two measurements and one treatment, O1 X O2. First observation is for collecting information about consumer's perception and their characteristics. Based on first observation, the paper segment consumers into two groups, one group perceives DMB similar to Cellular phone and the other group perceives DMB similar to TV. And compare characteristics of two segments in order to find reason why they perceive DMB differently. Next, we expose two kinds of AD to subjects. One AD describes DMB as Cellular phone and the other Ad describes DMB as personal TV. When two ADs are exposed to subjects, consumers don't know their prior perception of DMB, in other words, which subject belongs 'similar-to-Cellular phone' segment or 'similar-to-TV' segment? However, we analyze the AD's effect differently for each segment. In research design, final observation is for investigating AD effect. Perception before AD is compared with perception after AD. Comparisons are made for each segment and for each AD. For the segment who perceives DMB similar to TV, AD that describes DMB as cellular phone could change the prior perception. And AD that describes DMB as personal TV, could enforce the prior perception. For data collection, subjects are selected from undergraduate students because they have basic knowledge about most digital equipments and have open attitude about a new product and media. Total number of subjects is 240. In order to measure perception about DMB, we use indirect measurement, comparison with other similar digital products. To select similar digital products, we pre-survey students and then finally select PDA, Car-TV, Cellular Phone, MP3 player, TV, and PSP. Quasi experiment is done at several classes under instructor's allowance. After brief introduction, prior knowledge, awareness, and usage about DMB as well as other digital instruments is asked and their similarities and perceived characteristics are measured. And then, two kinds of manipulated color-printed AD are distributed and similarities and perceived characteristics for DMB are re-measured. Finally purchase intension, AD attitude, manipulation check, and demographic variables are asked. Subjects are given small gift for participation. Stimuli are color-printed advertising. Their actual size is A4 and made after several pre-test from AD professionals and students. As results, consumers are segmented into two subgroups based on their perceptions of DMB. Similarity measure between DMB and cellular phone and similarity measure between DMB and TV are used to classify consumers. If subject whose first measure is less than the second measure, she is classified into segment A and segment A is characterized as they perceive DMB like TV. Otherwise, they are classified as segment B, who perceives DMB like cellular phone. Discriminant analysis on these groups with their characteristics of usage and attitude shows that Segment A knows much about DMB and uses a lot of digital instrument. Segment B, who thinks DMB as cellular phone doesn't know well about DMB and not familiar with other digital instruments. So, consumers with higher knowledge perceive DMB similar to TV because launching DMB advertising lead consumer think DMB as TV. Consumers with less interest on digital products don't know well about DMB AD and then think DMB as cellular phone. In order to investigate perceptions of DMB as well as other digital instruments, we apply Proxscal analysis, Multidimensional Scaling technique at SPSS statistical package. At first step, subjects are presented 21 pairs of 7 digital instruments and evaluate similarity judgments on 7 point scale. And for each segment, their similarity judgments are averaged and similarity matrix is made. Secondly, Proxscal analysis of segment A and B are done. At third stage, get similarity judgment between DMB and other digital instruments after AD exposure. Lastly, similarity judgments of group A-1, A-2, B-1, and B-2 are named as 'after DMB' and put them into matrix made at the first stage. Then apply Proxscal analysis on these matrixes and check the positional difference of DMB and after DMB. The results show that map of segment A, who perceives DMB similar as TV, shows that DMB position closer to TV than to Cellular phone as expected. Map of segment B, who perceive DMB similar as cellular phone shows that DMB position closer to Cellular phone than to TV as expected. Stress value and R-square is acceptable. And, change results after stimuli, manipulated Advertising show that AD makes DMB perception bent toward Cellular phone when Cellular phone-like AD is exposed, and that DMB positioning move towards Car-TV which is more personalized one when TV-like AD is exposed. It is true for both segment, A and B, consistently. Furthermore, the paper apply correspondence analysis to the same data and find almost the same results. The paper answers two main research questions. The first one is that perception about a new product is made mainly from prior experience. And the second one is that AD is effective in changing and enforcing perception. In addition to above, we extend perception change to purchase intention. Purchase intention is high when AD enforces original perception. AD that shows DMB like TV makes worst intention. This paper has limitations and issues to be pursed in near future. Methodologically, current methodology can't provide statistical test on the perceptual change, since classical MDS models, like Proxscal and correspondence analysis are not probability models. So, a new probability MDS model for testing hypothesis about configuration needs to be developed. Next, advertising message needs to be developed more rigorously from theoretical and managerial perspective. Also experimental procedure could be improved for more realistic data collection. For example, web-based experiment and real product stimuli and multimedia presentation could be employed. Or, one can display products together in simulated shop. In addition, demand and social desirability threats of internal validity could influence on the results. In order to handle the threats, results of the model-intended advertising and other "pseudo" advertising could be compared. Furthermore, one can try various level of innovativeness in order to check whether it make any different results (cf. Moon 2006). In addition, if one can create hypothetical product that is really innovative and new for research, it helps to make a vacant impression status and then to study how to form impression in more rigorous way.

  • Currently, Social Media, it has widely a renown keyword and its related social trends and businesses have been fastly applied into various contexts. Social media has become an important research area for scholars interested in online technologies and cyber space and their social impacts. Social media is not only including web-based services but also mobile-based application services that allow people to share various style information and knowledge through online connection. Social media users have tendency to common identity- and bond-attachment through interactions such as 'thumbs up', 'reply note', 'forwarding', which may have driven from various factors and may result in delivering information, sharing knowledge, and specific experiences et al. Even further, almost of all social media sites provide and connect unknown strangers depending on shared interests, political views, or enjoyable activities, and other stuffs incorporating the creation of contents, which provides benefits to users. As fast developing digital devices including smartphone, tablet PC, internet based blogging, and photo and video clips, scholars desperately have began to study regarding diverse issues connecting human beings' motivations and the behavioral results which may be articulated by the format of antecedents as well as consequences related to contents that people create via social media. Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, or Cyworld users are more and more getting close each other and build up their relationships by a different style. In this sense, people use social media as tools for maintain pre-existing network, creating new people socially, and at the same time, explicitly find some business opportunities using personal and unlimited public networks. In terms of theory in explaining this phenomenon, social capital is a concept that describes the benefits one receives from one's relationship with others. Thereby, social media use is closely related to the form and connected of people, which is a bridge that can be able to achieve informational benefits of a heterogeneous network of people and common identity- and bonding-attachment which emphasizes emotional benefits from community members or friend group. Social capital would be resources accumulated through the relationships among people, which can be considered as an investment in social relations with expected returns and may achieve benefits from the greater access to and use of resources embedded in social networks. Social media using for their social capital has vastly been adopted in a cyber world, however, there has been little explaining the phenomenon theoretically how people may take advantages or opportunities through interaction among people, why people may interactively give willingness to help or their answers. The individual consciously express themselves in an online space, so called, common identity- or bonding-attachments. Common-identity attachment is the focus of the weak ties, which are loose connections between individuals who may provide useful information or new perspectives for one another but typically not emotional support, whereas common-bonding attachment is explained that between individuals in tightly-knit, emotionally close relationship such as family and close friends. The common identify- and bonding-attachment are mainly studying on-offline setting, which individual convey an impression to others that are expressed to own interest to others. Thus, individuals expect to meet other people and are trying to behave self-presentation engaging in opposite partners accordingly. As developing social media, individuals are motivated to disclose self-disclosures of open and honest using diverse cues such as verbal and nonverbal and pictorial and video files to their friends as well as passing strangers. Social media context, common identity- and bond-attachment for self-presentation seems different compared with face-to-face context. In the realm of social media, social users look for self-impression by posting text messages, pictures, video files. Under the digital environments, people interact to work, shop, learn, entertain, and be played. Social media provides increasingly the kinds of intention and behavior in online. Typically, identity and bond social capital through self-presentation is the intentional and tangible component of identity. At social media, people try to engage in others via a desired impression, which can maintain through performing coherent and complementary communications including displaying signs, symbols, brands made of digital stuffs(information, interest, pictures, etc,). In marketing area, consumers traditionally show common-identity as they select clothes, hairstyles, automobiles, logos, and so on, to impress others in any given context in a shopping mall or opera. To examine these social capital and attachment, we combined a social capital theory with an attachment theory into our research model. Our research model focuses on the common identity- and bond-attachment how they are formulated through social capitals: cognitive capital, structural capital, relational capital, and individual characteristics. Thus, we examined that individual online kindness, self-rated expertise, and social relation influence to build common identity- and bond-attachment, and the attachment effects make an impact on both the willingness to help, however, common bond seems not to show directly impact on information sharing. As a result, we discover that the social capital and attachment theories are mainly applicable to the context of social media and usage in the individual networks. We collected sample data of 256 who are using social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Cyworld and analyzed the suggested hypotheses through the Structural Equation Model by AMOS. This study analyzes the direct and indirect relationship between the social network service usage and outcomes. Antecedents of kindness, confidence of knowledge, social relations are significantly affected to the mediators common identity-and bond attachments, however, interestingly, network externality does not impact, which we assumed that a size of network was a negative because group members would not significantly contribute if the members do not intend to actively interact with each other. The mediating variables had a positive effect on toward willingness to help. Further, common identity attachment has stronger significant on shared information.

  • 기업에서는 경쟁력을 강화하기 위한 수단으로 ERP시스템을 도입하여 활용하고 있다. 이러한 ERP시스템 구축의 성공요인에 대해 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔으나 기술적인 측면 등 외부적인 요인들을 강조하고 있으며, 내부적인 요인인 조직구성원들의 개인적인 성격유형이 ERP시스템의 정보기술을 수용하는데 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구는 조직구성원들의 개인적인 성격유형을 탐색적으로 연구하였다. ERP시스템 도입기업의 사용자들을 대상으로 MBTI 성격유형과 ERP시스템에 대한 정보기술수용 정도를 설문을 통해 분석하였다. MBTI 성격유형은 Myers의 네 가지 성격유형으로 측정하고, ERP시스템의 정보기술수용에 대해서는 Davis의 TAM 모형을 이용하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 첫째, MBTI 성격유형과 ERP시스템의 정보기술수용과의 관련성 검증에서 MBTI 성격 유형 중 외향형과 판단형인 경우에는 ERP시스템의 정보기술수용에 유의적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 감각형과 사고형인 경우에는 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, ERP시스템 관련 정보기술수용 검증에서는 선행연구들을 통해 검증된 바와 같이 ERP시스템에 대한 지각된 이용용이성과 유용성, 활용 의도 및 활용정도 간에 유의적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 파악된 결과는 ERP시스템을 성공적으로 활용하기 위해서는 조직구성원들의 개인적인 성격유형이 중요한 요인임을 인지할 수 있는 기반을 제공하며, ERP시스템의 정보기술수용 모형에 심리적인 변수를 결합하는 학문적 기초를 제공할 것이다.

  • Within the traditional medical delivery system, patients residing in medically vulnerable areas, those with body movement difficulties, and nursing facility residents have had limited access to good healthcare services. However, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provides us with a convenient and useful means of overcoming distance and time constraints. ICT is integrated with biomedical science and technology in a way that offers a new high-quality medical service. As a result, rapid technological advancement is expected to play a pivotal role bringing about innovation in a wide range of medical service areas, such as medical management, testing, diagnosis, and treatment; offering new and improved healthcare services; and effecting dramatic changes in current medical services. The increase in aging population and chronic diseases has caused an increase in medical expenses. In response to the increasing demand for efficient healthcare services, a telehealth service based on ICT is being emphasized on a global level. Telehealth services have been implemented especially in pilot projects and system development and technological research. With the service about to be implemented in earnest, it is necessary to study its overall acceptance by consumers, which is expected to contribute to the development and activation of a variety of services. In this sense, the study aims at positively examining the structural relationship among the acceptance factors for telehealth services based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Data were collected by showing audiovisual material on telehealth services to online panels and requesting them to respond to a structured questionnaire sheet, which is known as the information acceleration method. Among the 1,165 adult respondents, 608 valid samples were finally chosen, while the remaining were excluded because of incomplete answers or allotted time overrun. In order to test the reliability and validity of the assessment scale items, we carried out reliability and factor analyses, and in order to explore the causal relation among potential variables, we conducted a structural equation modeling analysis using AMOS 7.0 and SPSS 17.0. The research outcomes are as follows. First, service quality, innovativeness of medical technology, and social influence were shown to affect perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of the telehealth service, which was statistically significant, and the two factors had a positive impact on willingness to accept the telehealth service. In addition, social influence had a direct, significant effect on intention to use, which is paralleled by the TAM used in previous research on technology acceptance. This shows that the research model proposed in the study effectively explains the acceptance of the telehealth service. Second, the research model reveals that information privacy concerns had a insignificant impact on perceived ease of use of the telehealth service. From this, it can be gathered that the concerns over information protection and security are reduced further due to advancements in information technology compared to the initial period in the information technology industry, and thus the improvement in quality of medical services appeared to ensure that information privacy concerns did not act as a prohibiting factor in the acceptance of the telehealth service. Thus, if other factors have an enormous impact on ease of use and usefulness, concerns over these results in the initial period of technology acceptance may become irrelevant. However, it is clear that users' information privacy concerns, as other studies have revealed, is a major factor affecting technology acceptance. Thus, caution must be exercised while interpreting the result, and further study is required on the issue. Numerous information technologies with outstanding performance and innovativeness often attract few consumers. A revised bill for those urgently in need of telehealth services is about to be approved in the national assembly. As telemedicine is implemented between doctors and patients, a wide range of systems that will improve the quality of healthcare services will be designed. In this sense, the study on the consumer acceptance of telehealth services is meaningful and offers strong academic evidence. Based on the implications, it can be expected to contribute to the activation of telehealth services. Further study is needed to assess the acceptance factors for telehealth services, such as motivation to remain healthy, health care involvement, knowledge on health, and control of health-related behavior, in order to develop unique services according to the categorization of customers based on health factors. In addition, further study may focus on various theoretical cognitive behavior models other than the TAM, such as the health belief model.

  • RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) is a wireless frequency of recognition technology that can be used to recognize, trace, and identify people, things, and animals using radio frequency(RF). RFID will bring about many changes in manufacturing and distributions, among other areas. In accordance with the increasing importance of RFID techniques, great advancement has been made in RFID studies. Initially, the RFID research started as a research literature or case study. Recently, empirical research has floated on the surface for announcement. But most of the existing researches on RFID adoption have been restricted to a dichotomous measure of 'adoption vs. non-adoption' or adoption intention. In short, RFID research is still at an initial stage, mainly focusing on the research of the RFID performance, integration, and its usage has been considered dismissive. The purpose of this study is to investigate which factors are important for the RFID adoption and implementation with organizational resources. In this study, the organizational resources are classified into either finance resources or IT knowledge resources. A research model and four hypotheses are set up to identify the relationships among these variables based on the investigations of such theories as technological innovations, adoption stage, and organizational resources. In order to conduct this study, a survey was carried out from September 27, 2008 until October 23, 2008. The questionnaire was completed by 143 managers and workers from physical distribution and manufacturing companies related to the RFID in South Korea. 37 out of 180 surveys, which turned out unfit for the study, were discarded and the remaining 143(adoption stage 89, implementation stage 54) were used for the empirical study. The statistics were analyzed using Excel 2003 and SPSS 12.0. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, the adoption stage shows that perceived benefits, standardization, perceived cost savings, environmental uncertainty, and pressures from rival firms have significant effects on the intent of the RFID adoption. Further, the implementation stage shows that perceived benefits, standardization, environmental uncertainty, pressures from rival firms, inter-organizational cooperation, and inter-organizational trust have significant effects on the extent of the RFID use. In contrast, inter-organizational cooperation and inter-organizational trust did not show much impact on the intent of RFID adoption while perceived cost savings did not significantly affect the extent of RFID use. Second, in the adoption stage, financial issues had adverse effect on both inter-organizational cooperation and the intent against the RFID adoption. IT knowledge resources also had a deterring effect on both perceived cost savings and the extent of the RFID adoption. Third, in the implementation stage, finance resources had a moderate effect on environmental uncertainty and extent of RFID use while IT knowledge resources had also a moderate effect on perceived cost savings and the extent of the RFID use. Limitations and future research issues can be summarized as follows. First, it is difficult to say that the sample is large enough to be representative of the population. Second, because the sample of this study was conducted among manufacturers only, it may be limited in analyzing fully the effect on the industry as a whole. Third, in consideration of the fact that the organizational resources in the RFID study require a great deal of researches, this research may deem insufficient to fulfill the purpose that it initially set out to achieve. Future studies using performance research are, therefore, needed to help better understand the organizational level of the RFID adoption and implementation.

  • 스마트폰의 등장으로 우리는 언제 어디서나 쇼핑이 가능하고, 소셜미디어로 연결된 광범위한 인적 네트워크와 웹사이트를 통해 손쉽게 다양한 정보와 전문가들의 의견을 살펴볼 수 있게 되었다. 제한된 정보 창구로 인해 브랜드 인지도에 의존하였던 과거와는 다르게, 다양한 창구를 통해 제품과 서비스에 대한 정보를 손쉽게 얻을 수 있는 시대가 도래한 것이다. 그 결과, 디지털 시대의 소비자들은 과거와는 다르게 기업의 일방적인 의도대로 브랜드 이미지를 수용하는 것에서 벗어나, 소비자들 간의 소통을 통해 브랜드 이미지의 형성에 영향을 미칠 정도로 그 영향력이 증대되었다. 소비자들은 더 이상은 그 브랜드를 안다고 해서 혹은 그 브랜드가 유명하다고 해서 바로 구매를 하지 않는다. 따라서, 이렇게 변화한 시대에 전통적인 브랜드 측정 방법의 유효성에 대해 의문을 제시하게 되었다. 그러나 아직까지 변화한 사회환경을 반영한 측정 방법은 논의된 바가 없으며, 실무자들은 현재까지 전통적인 측정 방법을 이용해 오고 있는 것이 현실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 브랜드의 정의와 측정방법에 대해 한번 살펴보고, 디지털 시대에 보다 적합하면서 직접적인 측정 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 측정 방법은 "친구를 보면 그 사람을 알 수 있다"는 속담처럼, 함께 구매되는 상품의 브랜드를 통해 해당 브랜드의 진정한 위치와 이미지를 파악하는 방법이다. 이를 위해 온라인 커머스 사이트인 아마존에서 함께 구매되는 화장품 데이터를 브랜드 단위의 네트워크로 구축하고, 이를 토대로 브랜드 이미지를 평가하는 방법을 제시하였다. 기존에는 소비자의 인식 혹은 인지적인 측면을 설문조사로 파악하거나 기업의 재무상태를 통해 브랜드를 측정했던 과거와는 달리, 본 연구에서 제시하는 방법은 실질적인 구매 데이터를 통해 구축된 제품의 네트워크를 분석함으로써 관련 브랜드 지표와 실질적인 구매 행동 간의 간극을 좁히고자 한 데에 의의가 있다. 또한 연결된 세상의 네트워크 관점을 바탕으로 전통적인 브랜드 개념을 보다 확장하였으며, 이를 통해 보다 현실에 적합한 측정도구를 제시하였다는 것에 의의가 있다.

  • RI-Biomics 기술 분야는 차세대 국가 신 성장 동력 핵심기술 중의 하나로써 전 세계적으로 비약적인 발전을 하고 있는 첨단방사선융합 분야이다. 이에 각 선진국들은 RI-Biomics 분야의 세계 경제시장에서 앞서 나가기 위하여 집중적인 지원과 부단한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 이러한 RI-Biomics 분야를 국내에서 주도하기 위해서는 세계수준에 맞는 고도의 기술력과 전문지식을 지닌 우수한 인력들의 확보가 필요하지만, 국내에서는 보유한 기술력에 비해 수행할 수 있는 전문인력들이 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 검증된 RI-Biomics 인력양성 모델을 활용하여 전문가 인터뷰와 전국 학생대상 설문조사를 반영한 최적화된 교육프로그램을 설계 및 개발함으로써 RI-Biomics 전문인력양성을 위한 기반을 구축하고자 하였다. 본 교육프로그램은 RI-Biomics 분야를 크게 4개의 분야로 구분하여 구성하였으며, 각 과정별 교육을 통하여 RI-Biomics 분야의 전반적인 과정을 이해하는데 주안점을 두고 개발되었다. 교육프로그램의 유용성 및 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 실제 유관학과 대학생 8명을 대상으로 시범운영을 실시하였으며, 한국방사선진흥협회(서울)와 한국원자력연구원 첨단방사선 연구소 RI-Biomics 센터(정읍)에서 총 3주간 진행 되었다. 세부 교육과정은 RI-Biomics 분야의 기본교육인 방사성동위원소 취급 및 안전교육 1주, 전문기술 교육인 RI-Biomics 응용기술 2주로 구성되었다. 3주간의 교육결과를 평가하기 위하여 실습일지와 개별보고서를 작성하였으며, 설문조사를 통하여 교육 만족도 및 건의사항을 수렴하였다. 본 교육프로그램 운영결과, 모든 학생들이 교육과정에 대한 높은 만족도와 지속적인 참여의사를 나타냈다. 또한 시범교육 운영 간 우수인력 발굴 및 지속적인 교육프로그램 운영을 위한 심화과정의 필요성이 제기되었다. 본 연구를 통해 제시된 교육프로그램과 운영방안은 향후 RI-Biomics 분야의 대학 교과과정 개발을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것이며, RI-Biomics 기술 전문인력들의 양성과 국내 RI-Biomics 분야의 발전에 기여할 것이다.
