정숙경,Jung, Sook-Kyung The English Teachers Association in Korea 2006 영어어문교육 Vol.12 No.4

The purpose of this paper is to present a qualitative case study on teaching English as an international language in Korean context. The researcher investigated the implementation process of the new elementary English program from the government to local schools to find out to what extent the symbolic value of English as an international language affect the implementation process of the elementary English program. The research result showed that the elementary teachers shared the different views of the status of English from those of government and the parents, and their differing perception of the role of English constantly affected their implementation efforts. The research findings also revealed that the public's concern of English dominance in Korean educational system resulted in the government's 'comprised curriculum' by lowering the learning goals of the English program. The findings also indicated that the introduction of the elementary English program accelerated English dominance in both teacher and student culture. The question of how to resolve the conflict between acquiring English proficiency and its negative influence on Korean culture remains a complex issue in implementing the new elementary English program.

  The study was designed to explore effective ways of teaching reading class through action research at college level. The researcher formulated 9 activities for a reading class based on the recent issues of reading research and implemented the lessons for one semester to 122 college freshmen. The data was collected from teaching journals, class observation, student surveys, student group interviews, and teacher surveys. The research results reveal that students strongly favored incorporating listening activities in reading class, and showed a high preference toward reading strategy training and top-down reading activities, while also favoring bottom-up activities like translation exercises. Incorporating writing activities in reading class was least favored by the students. Students addressed their need to learn more about grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structures, which indicates that college freshmen may not receive enough bottom-up training during high school days. The collaborative activities in reading class were positively accepted among students, but it was suggested that keeping regular group members during the study period and assigning the role to each group member are the key to success in activating group discussion in a reading class.

The aim of this study was to investigate how the smartphone users perceive and use smartphones as English learning tools. 79 college students majoring in English language & literature participated in the research. The major research methods were student questionnaire and focused interview. Statistical analysis of the questionnaire was conducted. The research results showed that the most frequent usage of smartphones for English learning was searching online dictionary and using free smartphone vocabulary learning applications. However, despite the great advantages of the smartphone as a learning tool, a number of students do not feel comfortable in using the smartphone for learning purposes due to the environment that the smartphone is used which does not ensure duration and concentration of learning. Other limitations that smartphones have as a language learning tool were discussed. Because of these limitations, 67.1% of the students showed no intention to purchase the non-free English learning applications and 31.6% of the participants have never tried to use smartphones for learning English. The conditions for promoting use of smartphones for language learning and the proper ways to design smartphone applications for English learning were discussed based on the research results.

한국의 여성정보화 지수와 현황

정숙경(Jung Sook Kyung) 한국지역정보화학회 2002 한국지역정보화학회지 Vol.5 No.2

이 논문은 한국여성의 정보화 수준을 어떻게 측정할 것인가 하는 문제의식으로 주요여성정보화 지표를 개발하고, 그 현황을 살펴봄으로써 정책적인 함의를 얻고자 하였다. 정보화 촉진과 함께 정보사회로의 발전이 여성에게 새로운 발전기회를 제공할 것으로 낙관적인 전망을 하였으나 여성과 남성 간의 정보격차로 인해 성 불평등이 강화될 것이 우려된다. 정부의 ‘여성정보화촉진기본계획(2002-2006)’에 따른 여성정보화정책의 추진은 여성정보화 현황에 대한 객관적인 파악을 필요로 하므로 이를 양적으로 측정할 수 있는 도구를 개발하였다. 여성정보화 수준에 대한 측정도구로서 여성정보화 지수는 인식지수, 접근지수, 이용지수, 역량지수, 효과지수, 정보문화지수, 인터넷활용지수 등으로 구분하여 각 지수를 측정할 수 있는 항목을 제시하고, 이를 근거로 여성정보화 현황을 설명하였다. 연구결과 남성에 비해 여성의 정보접근이나 정보이용이 현저하게 뒤떨어져 있음에 주목하면서 여성의 정보접근과 정보이용을 촉진할 수 있는 여성정보화정책의 지속적인 추진이 필요함을 제언하였다.

정숙경(Jung Sook-Kyung) 한국여성학회 2003 한국여성학 Vol.19 No.2

본 논문은 기혼여성, 주부1)의 인터넷 이용에 따르는 정보격차와 정보 불평등에 관한 것으로 주부집단 내 인터넷 이용을 중심으로 정보격차 실태를 파악하고, 집단 내 차이를 가져오는 변인을 분석하여 연구결과의 합의를 살펴보았다. 정보격차(information divide)란 ‘디지털 정보에 대한 접근과 이용이 사회집단에 따라 다르게 나타나는’ 것으로, 연령, 학력, 소득과 같은 사회경제적 요인에 의한 정보격차는 사회구조적인 정보 불평등을 합의한다. 본 연구는 수도권 지역 기혼여성(918명)을 대상으로 인터넷 이용실태를 조사하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째 가정 내 컴퓨터 보유율이 87.8%로 높게 나타나 주부의 인터넷 접근정도는 높다고 할 수 있으나, 연령, 학력, 소득, 자녀수, 거주지역에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 둘째 인터넷 이용은 55.1%였으며, 연령, 소득, 학력, 자녀수, 거주규모에 따라 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 셋째 인터넷 이용수준은 정보검색(48.2%), 전자메일 이용 및 채팅(26.4%), 자료의 다운로드(29.0%) 등 대체로 주로 기본적인 이용을 하였다. 넷째 인터넷 활용의 경우 글, 의견의 개진경험은 23.6%였으나, 인터넷 쇼핑의 경우는 34.4%정도였다. 다섯째 주부의 인터넷 이용에 있어서 ‘직업효과’에 대한 검증결과는 유의미하였다(p<001). 이상 연구결과에서 주부의 인터넷 이용은 연령, 소득, 학력, 자녀의 수, 거주지역과 같은 사회경제적인 변인에 따라 격차를 보임을 알 수 있는데, 이는 사회구조적으로 정보 불평등이라는 합의를 지니며, 정부차원에서 지속적인 노력과 정책대안의 마련이 없는 한, 정보사회에서도 성 불평등(gender inequality)이 심화될 수 있음을 시사한다.

This study intended to explore constructivistic instructional approach based on integrated curriculum. Research tasks of this study are to search for the implications of constructivism to educational practices, to survey constructivistic models for instruction, and to explore and appropriate instructional approach based on integrated curriculum which is recognized as an effective way to realize constructivism. The conclusions of this study are as follows: Firstly, constructivism is a philosophical view on instruction which asserts that learning is a process of individual knowledge construction of learners. This view agrees well with the contention that every learner should become self-directed learners in order to become efficient problem-solvers in this information age. Secondly, Vygotsky's social constructivism is recognized as the most appropriate view among constructivistic views on education. The key concepts of this view consists of zone of proximal development and scaffolding, which are useful concepts to assist learners to become self-directed learners. Representative instructional models that accommodate these concepts are cooperative learning, problem-based learning, and teacher-mediated learning. Thirdly, though there several ways to realize integrated curriculum approach consistent with constructivistic view, thematic approach to learning which integrates common elements from various subjects within a meaningful theme for learners to inquire.
