Nurturing Creative Problem Solving Ability of the Gifted in Confucian Society

Seokhee Cho 韓國英才學會 2007 영재교육연구 Vol.17 No.2

유교문화는 창의적 문제해결력의 계발과 발휘를 방해하는 것으로 이해되어 왔다. 그러나 본 연구는 유교문화가 창의적 문제해결력 발휘에 방해가 되기만 한 것은 아님을 주장한다. 유교문화는 창의적 문제해결력의 계발에 도움이 되기도 하고 방해가 되기도 하였다. 창의적 문제해결력은 동기, 일반적인 지식과 기능, 특정 영역의 지식과 기능을 기반으로 확산적 수렴적 사고라는 도구를 사용할 때 발휘된다. 유교문화는 배움의 즐거움을 강조하며, 열심히 정진하는 자세의 소중함을 가르쳤고, 이로 인해 부모들은 높은 교육열을 끌어냈다. 그러나 유교문화 중에서도 위계사회에서 순종하고 타협하는 태도를 강조함과 계층 이동의 주요 수단으로서의 과거제도는 시험 문제 풀이에 치중하는 교육을 초래하여 창의적 문제해결력의 수단이 되는 사고기회를 박탈하고 학생들의 흥미, 호기심, 자아효능감 등을 저하시킴으로써 창의적 문제해결력의 발휘를 억제하는 부정적인 기능을 했다. 이런 문제점에 대한 인식을 바탕으로 영재의 선발과 학업수행에 대한 평가, 교육 프로그램의 개발 및 운영, 교사 연수, 대학입학전형 등을 개선하는데 필요한 방안을 제시했다. It has been understood that Confucian culture only blocks creative problem solving(CPS). However, it is claimed that Confucian culture exerts positive and negative influence on nurturing CPS. Confucian culture fosters CPS by urging strong motivation for learning, and building rich base of knowledge and skills in general and in specific domains through teaching joy of learning and hardworking fueled by parents' education fever. Confucian culture has negative influence on CPS with emphasis on obedience and conformity. Keju system, as a part of Confucian culture, resulted in excessive private tutoring to prepare for the high-stakes test, delimitation of students' experiences to matters to be tested, and students' weak interest, self-concept, and self-directed learning. Negative influence from Confucian culture on CPS is analyzed and some suggestions are provided for revising educational policies and educational practices in order to maximize the creative problem solving in Confucian countries.

Surface Characterization of Zinc Selenide Thin Films Obtained by RF co-sputtering

Seokhee Lee,Yong-Cheol Kang,Jisoo Kang,Juyun Park 대한화학회 2022 대한화학회지 Vol.66 No.5

In this work, radio frequency magnetron sputtering was used to deposit zinc selenide thin films on p-type silicon (100) wafers and glass substrates in a high vacuum chamber. Several surface characterization instruments were implemented to study the thin films. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results revealed that oxidized Zn bound to Se (Zn-Se) at 1022.7 ± 0.1 eV becomes the dominant oxidized species when Se concentration exceeds 70%. Scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy showed that incorporating Se in Zn thin films will lead to formation of ZnSe grains on the surface. Contact angle measurements indicated that ZnSe-60 exhibited the lowest total surface free energy value of 24.94 mN/m. Lastly, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy data evinced that the energy band gap gradually increases with increasing Se concentration with ZnSe-70 having the highest work function value of 4.91 eV.

Developmental patterns and the related factors of the gifted: 18 years after their identification

Seokhee Cho 한국영재학회 2004 영재교육연구 Vol.14 No.3

To find out achievement, personality characteristics, family characteristics, and developmental patterns of the 65 young adults and 60 of their parents were followed up 18 years after their identification of giftedness at the age of 3 to 5. Only 12% of them attended colleges of high academic standing and the rest have not achieved as much as their potential predicted. Their developmental patterns were classified into 4 different ones: The full boomer, the everchanging, the fade away, and the late bloomer. The fullbloomer were characterized by their stronger preference for challenging tasks, family emphasis and supports for their studies and reading books in their early childhood. The everchanging were characterized by their parents who did not emphasize on study or reading in early years, but strong support for their study from junior high school period. The fadeaway and the late bloomer were characterized by the absence of parental support for learning throughout their schooling period. However, the fadeaway and the late bloomer were contrasting in their achievement motivation, academic self-concept, and social competency.

A Critique of the Korean Governmental Reform under the NPM Paradigm

Seokhee Park 서울행정학회 2008 서울행정학회 학술대회 발표논문집 Vol.- No.-

The recent governmental reforms fostered by the New Public Management movement over the world are often argued to emphasize the search for efficiency, quality and other market values at the expense of democratic accountability. On the other hand, challenging this view, some authors claim that results-based management reforms have the potential to enhance political accountability and representative democracy. There is, however, limited empirical evidence of this relationship, also, a variety of definitions of what the accountability means. This research uses some of experiences from the Korea's governmental reform movement to illuminate this relationship in practice. I will discuss whether the design features of the new systems were based on the explicit search for increased political accountability and the deepening of democracy. Also, I will explore critically the way to coordinate the search for the outcome or efficiency and democratic accountability, otherwise, in conflict.

Haptic Tumor Augmentation: Exploring Multi-Point Interaction

Seokhee Jeon,Harders, Matthias IEEE 2014 IEEE transactions on haptics Vol.7 No.4

<P>We currently explore the application of haptic augmentation in the context of palpation training systems. The key idea is to modify real touch sensations with computed haptic feedback. In earlier work, we have introduced an algorithmic framework for determining appropriate augmentation forces during interaction at one contact point. In this paper, we present an extension of the approach to deal with manipulations at more than one contact location. At the heart of our method is the data-driven estimation of Hunt-Crossley model parameters in a pre-computation step. Feeding the parameters into a contact dynamics model allows us to approximate the feedback behavior of various physical tissue mock-ups. Further, we combine the parameter estimation with the tracking of the position of a stiffer inclusion in the mock-up. These data are employed to create a model of movement due to external forces. The combination of these models then allows us to represent and render the mutual effects at multiple contact points. Several experiments have been carried out on a setup with two haptic devices. Comparisons of recorded with simulated interaction data demonstrate the performance and potential of our method.</P>

Performance Evaluation Systems and Organizational Performance

Seokhee Park 서울행정학회 2006 서울행정학회 학술대회 발표논문집 Vol.- No.-

This article empirically analyzes the effects of an organizational performance evaluation system on organizational performance in the 13 Korean state-owned enterprises. Many researchers have explored performance management through the use of performance evaluation mechanisms in the public sector. Therefore, this study analyzes the impact of the performance evaluation system on two dimensions; organizational competence and organizational productivity. It tests two research hypotheses with a simple interrupted time-series design using panel data sets comprising of 40 time-series(l965-2004) observations for 13 cross-sectional units(13 state-owned enterprises) on nine performance variables. For all analyses, six panel data models were estimated(Pooled OLS, Fixone, Fixtwo, Ranone, Rantwo, Parks). Finally, 13 state-owned enterprises were compared with eight local public enterprises. The analyses indicate that the performance evaluation system has had a positive effect on state-owned enterprises' performance, especially since 1993, when the system was reformed.

The Zn, Sn, and ZnSn thin films were deposited on Si(100) substrate using radio frequency (RF) magnetron cosputtering method. A surface profiler and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to investigate the Zn, Sn, and ZnSn thin films. Thickness of the thin films was measured by a surface profiler. The deposition rates of pure Zn and Sn thin films were calculated with thickness and sputtering time for optimization. From the survey XPS spectra, we could conclude that the thin films were successfully deposited on Si(100) substrate. The chemical environment of the Zn and Sn was monitored with high resolution XPS spectra in the binding energy regions of Zn 2p, Sn 3d, O 1s, and C 1s. Keywords: Zinc Oxide, X-ray Photoelectron Sectroscopy, Thin Films

IFRS17의 시행에 따른 손익정보의 가치관련성 변화에 관한 연구

조석희 ( Seokhee Cho ) 한국계리학회 2020 계리학연구 Vol.12 No.1

IFRS 17의 시행으로 현재 현금주의에 의해 산출되고 공시되는 수입보험료(수익)와 준비금의 순증가액을 의미하는 준비금전입액(비용)은 더 이상 재무제표에 인식되지 아니한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 수입보험료(수익)와 준비금전입액(비용)이 기업가치 평가과정에서 어떤 역할을 하는지를 파악하기 위하여 증분적 가치관련성의 존재여부를 확인하는 방식으로 분석하였다. 분석결과, 현행 보험회사의 수입보험료 정보는 보험회사의 순자산 장부금액과 순이익 정보가 제공하는 기업가치 설명력 이상의 설명력을 가지는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 보험회사의 매출정보에 증분적 가치관련성이 있음을 나타내는 것이다. 이러한 결과는 제조업이나 유통업 등을 대상으로 분석한 선행연구의 결과와 일관된 것으로서, 기업가치 평가과정에서 매출액 정보의 중요성을 보험산업에서 재확인한 것으로 볼 수 있다. 그러나 준비금전입액의 증분적 가치관련성은 확인되지 않아, 그 의미가 중요하지 않은 정보로 판단된다. 이러한 결과는, 새로운 회계기준의 시행으로 보험산업의 수익인식 방법이 변경되고 이러한 변경이 회계이론적 관점에서 타당하며, 다른 산업과의 비교가능성 제고를 위해 필요하다 할지라도, 자본시장 참여자들의 의사결정에 유용한 정보가 되어야 한다는 회계정보 본연의 역할을 생각한다면, 새로운 회계기준의 시행 이후에도 주석공시나 다른 적절한 방법을 통하여 보험회사의 매출액 정보의 제공은 필요하다는 점을 시사하는 것이다. 본 논문은 IFRS 17의 시행에 따른 보험회계정보의 가치관련성 변화를 분석하는 좋은 시작점을 제공한다는 측면에서 의의가 있다. 다만, 본 논문은 상장 손해보험회사만의 데이터를 이용하여 분석하였다는 점과 IFRS 17의 시행이후에 추가로 보고될 보험회계정보의 가치관련성에 대한 분석은 수행하지 못하였다는 점에서 한계를 가진다. With the implementation of IFRS 17, the insurance premium income (revenues) and the increase in the reserves are no longer recognized in the financial statements, which are currently calculated and disclosed. Therefore, in this thesis, the role of income insurance premiums (revenues) and reserves (expenses) in the process of corporate valuation was analyzed in a way to check the existence of incremental value relevance. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the current insurance company’s insurance premium income information had an explanatory power beyond the corporate value explanatory power provided by the insurance company’s net asset book value and net profit, indicating that the insurance company’s insurance premium income information had an incremental value relevance. These results are consistent with the results of previous studies that have been analyzed for manufacturing and distribution industries, and can be seen as reaffirming the importance of sales information in the corporate value evaluation process in the insurance industry. However, the incremental value relevance of the increase in reserve has not been confirmed, therefore this information is judged to be insignificant information. These results suggest that even though the implementation of new accounting standards leads to changes in the insurance industry’s revenue recognition method, and these changes are reasonable from an accounting theory point of view and are necessary to enhance comparability with other industries. But, considering the basic role of accounting information that should be useful information for decisions, it can be seen that it is possible to suggest that even after the implementation of the new accounting standard, it may be necessary to provide information related to sales of insurance companies through commentary disclosure or other appropriate methods. This paper is significant in that it provides a good starting point for analyzing the change in the value relevance of insurance accounting information following the implementation of IFRS 17. However, this paper has limitations in that it was analyzed using data only for listed non-life insurance companies, and that it was not possible to analyze the value relevance of insurance accounting information to be additionally reported after the implementation of IFRS 17.
