Objectives: This study analyzed demand and perceptions regarding a Korea–Vietnam international collaborative education program in medical tourism and wellness, proposing an effective and feasible operational model. Methods: A survey was conducted among 386 students and 41 faculty members at Da Nang University of Medical Technology and Pharmacy. Descriptive statistics and independent t-tests were performed using SPSS. Key issues were ranked and compared using a rank-difference format and classified by importance and group-specificity. Results: Both groups positively recognized medical tourism importance and most preferred the 2+2 double-degree model. Foreign language proficiency and financial burden were identified as major barriers. Rank-difference analysis revealed the largest intergroup gap in graduate studies pursuit (students: 5th vs. faculty: 3rd; 16.8% vs. 53.7%). Issues were classified into core, emerging, and group-specific categories. Conclusions: International collaborative programs should adopt a phased model integrating language preparation, practical training, and industry-oriented competencies. Core issues—language barriers and financial burden—require sustained institutional responses, while emerging issues such as faculty capacity demand strategic investment.

Purpose: This study aimed to systematically develop an obesity prevention program for adolescents to promote healthy eating and physical activity in schools. Methods: The development of the Let's Eat Healthy and Move at School program for adolescents followed the six steps of intervention mapping (IM). IM is a widely used protocol for developing systematic and effective interventions based on theories and evidence. Results: To better understand the problem and identify the needs of adolescents, interviews were conducted with teachers, school nurses, and students (step 1). In step 2, the desired behaviors and their determinants were established and combined into a matrix comprising 16 change objectives. In step 3, theoretical methods such as persuasive communication and consciousness-raising were chosen. The program was segmented into three educational activity sessions in step 4. In step 5, an implementation manual was developed for program instructors to ensure effective and accurate implementation. Finally, practices for evaluating the program's effectiveness and procedures were designed in step 6. Conclusion: The Let’s Eat Healthy and Move at School program will provide adolescents with guidelines to promote healthy living and prevent obesity in everyday life using strategies for sustainable adolescent obesity prevention and management.

The accomplishment in the vocational education and training program implementation needs a mutual partnership among Vocational Schools and industries. The paper aims to determine: (1) model of cooperation between industries and vocational high school on vocational education and training program especially in the field of heavy equipment (2) contribution by each party to the implementation of the cooperation. The paper was written based on the result of a survey study that was completed on the parties involved and interested in the implementation of vocational education and training program especially in the field of heavy equipment in Indonesia. The paper presents that: (1) The pattern of relationship between vocational and industrial cooperation if that viewed from Vocational Schools side are: (a) fully collaborate (full partnership) in carrying out cooperation programs like peer-to-peer relationship and (b) partial partnership that the Vocational School is in collaboration with some of the industries to carry out some activities of educational programs. Cooperative activities undertaken by the industry is only one aspect of the activity that is part of the overall educational program. (2) Each party has a positive contribution in accordance with the competence and scope of work of each institution in order to achieve the best vocational education and training implementation.

Second language teacher education is an important agency with a powerful capacity to impact student teachers’ socialization. Like all other prospective teachers, second language student teachers go through various experiences while attending their initial training program and these experiences impact their beliefs, images, and thinking in relation to teaching and learning (foreign) languages. This paper, hence, triangulates data from the Philosophy and Guidelines for the Omani English Language School Curriculum document (Nunan, Tyacke & Walton, 1987), which I will herewith refer to as the National English Language Policy/Plan (NELP), other policy texts, the pertinent literature, and semi-structured interviews conducted with various agents involved in the Omani English language teaching (ELT) system. The paper critically discusses the different ideologies embodied in the various statements and draws conclusions about their implications to initial English language teacher education in Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) in Oman and other similar or identical parts in the world and to second language policy implementation.

In this paper, we implemented an e-mail and chat program (client) for communication between mobile devices and PCs based on WIPI a South Korea's open wireless platform form developing device and content independent software to break from the way of developing contents that is dependent on different wireless platforms to each mobile communications company. While traditional e-mail and chat programs are written for PC-to-PC communication, we develop them for mobile-to-PC and mobile-to-mobile communications, and we expect to see various mobile contents in the future.

This paper starts with the question of why the outcome of English instruction in Korea remains unsatisfactory despite the prominent introduction of changes in English Education in the 90's. This question leads to the comparison of Baker's FLT and IP as a weak form and a strong form of education for bilingualism, respectively. On the basis of what is observed in this comparison, this paper points out that FLT is greatly responsible for the failure in most cases of English Education in other countries as well as in Korea's English Education. As an alternative to FLT, this paper aims at supporting the expansion of IP, which was originally introduced in Canada more than 40 years ago, spread to many other countries, and is being seriously taken into consideration in Korea. It will be further pointed out that some potential concerns for students' low outcome in their first language skills and content areas that may happen in the implementation of IP would be solved or at least reduced if core features of IP are well abided by as they stand.

The number of English Villages in Korea has steadily increased since their introduction in 2004. Although many teachers, program developers and educators in the field of English education have acknowledged their growth, little research has been done regarding their curriculum effectiveness or program implementation. Therefore, this study develops a sample English Village program based on task-based syllabus and investigates students’ reactions. The research site was B English village in Seoul. For the study, three phases: needs analysis, program development and program implementation are conducted. Seven students participated in the experiment, and data were collected from diverse sources: interviews with students, their learning diaries, documents, and the researcher’s field notes. As a result, the four aspects of task-based learning along with the seven young learners were considered in relation to program implementation: class participation, real world relevance, class modules, and task-performance. This study implies that task-based curriculum development in English Villages can positively influence students’ learning.

본 연구는 해상위험물의 안전한 운송을 위한 제도적 장치로서 운영 중인 위험물컨테이너 점검 제도(CIP)의 국내 운영현황과 제도적 구조를 분석하고, 특히 수입 위험물컨테이너 점검의 부재 라는 구조적 공백을 중심으로 문제를 제기하였다. 이를 위해 국제해상위험물규칙(IMDG Code), SOLAS, MARPOL 등 주요 국제규범과 국내 관련 법령, 고시를 문헌 분석을 통해 검토 하고, 미국, 일본, 캐나다, EU 등 주요 선진국의 CIP 운영사례를 비교 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 한국의 CIP 제도는 수출 컨테이너에 국한된 점검 운영, 점검정보 미통합, 법적 근거 미비, 민간 자율참여 부재 등의 문제를 안고 있으며, 이를 개선하기 위해 수입 점검의 법제화, 점검정보 통합관리체계 구축, 국제 기준과의 정합성 강화, 민간 자율인증제 도입 등 네 가지 정책적 대 안을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 기존 문헌이 간과해온 수입 컨테이너 위험관리의 중요성과 정책 공백을 확인함으로써, 항만안전 강화, 국제신뢰 제고, 산업경쟁력 확보라는 실무적 함의 또한 제시하고 있다.

Purpose : This study analyzes the institutional limitations of Korea’s Container Inspection Program (CIP) for dangerous goods transported by sea, particularly the lack of inspections for imported hazardous cargo. It proposes improvement measures based on international regulatory comparisons. Research design, data, methodology : This study employs a qualitative literature review of international conventions such as the IMDG Code, SOLAS, and MARPOL, along with Korean domestic laws and guidelines. It also includes a comparative analysis of CIP operations in the United States, Japan, Canada, and the European Union. Results : The result shows that Korea’s CIP primarily targets export containers, leaving imported hazardous cargo mostly uninspected. Structural issues include weak legal mandates, poor infrastructure, fragmented coordination, and lack of digital data integration. Conclusions : The result of the study highlights four key policy directions: mandating inspections for imports, building a national hazardous goods database, aligning with global inspection standards, and promoting voluntary private-sector participation. These changes can strengthen Korea’s port safety and international credibility.

Background : Pharmacists are key members of the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (ASP) team playing a critical role in improving antimicrobial use. A pharmacy intervention program built in the hospital electronic medical records for ASP (ASP-EMR) was developed and the sustained impact of the pharmacist-enhanced ASP was described in this study as measured by antimicrobial use and costs and the proportion of inappropriate antimicrobial prescriptions. Methods : An interrupted time series with segmented regression analysis was conducted in 3 stages; 1-preintervention; 2-pharmacists’participation in ASP without ASP-EMR and 3-pharmacists’participation in ASP with ASP-EMR. Using EMR data from a tertiary care hospital, the information on the prescribed antimicrobial agents was extracted 2009-2016. The pharmacist-enhanced ASP intervention started in March 2012. Prospective audit and feedback were triggered by ASP-EMR and the program was led by 1 clinical pharmacist and 1 pharmacy resident. Changes in the outcomes were compared before and after the pharmacist intervention with or without ASP-EMR. Results : The development of pharmacy intervention program via ASP-EMR was completed in May 2016. After the pharmacist-enhanced ASP intervention, the rate of broad spectrum antimicrobial agents decreased as measured by daily defined doses (DDDs)/1,000 inpatient days (120.1 in Stage 1 and 103.5 in stage 3). In Stage 3, inappropriate duplication of anaerobic coverage was decreased as compared to Stage 1 as measure by days of therapy (DOT)/length of therapy (LOT) (1.13 in Stage 1 and 1.01 in Stage 3). The intervention on the intravenous (IV)-to oral conversion of quinolones increased the proportion of oral ciprofloxacin prescription and the estimated cost avoidance from interventions was 4,291,797 won in Stage 2 and 5,208,979 won in Stage 3. Conclusion : The implementation of the pharmacists’participation in ASP at a tertiary care hospital in Korea was associated with a positive impact on antimicrobial use, spending, and inappropriate prescriptions

Since 2013, basic pharmacy practice education (BPPE) program has been implemented underthe new six-year Pharmaceutical College curriculum in Korea. In accordance with this implementation,the pharmacy department at St.Mary’s Hospital in Seoul has developed its own BPPE program whichwas composed of the following 10 education items: introduction of hospital pharmacy practice, evaluationmedicine prescription, various dosage forms preparation, major prescription preparation, injectabledrugs preparation, drug information provision, medication safety evaluation, medical terminology,patient evaluation, and patient counseling. To evaluate the effectiveness of the BPPE program and students’satisfaction,the first 20 students trained under the BPPE program were surveyed and practicallytested. The students rated their knowledge level of each education item pre- and post-BPPE: using the4-point Likert scale from 1 to 4, where 1 is very low, 2 is low, 3 is high and 4 is very high. The objectivepractical tests were done after the BPPE. The students’safety evaluation survey contained questions on overall satisfaction, self-sufficiency, benefits of the education, and self confidence in further advancedpharmacy practice education program. All students responded to the survey. For self-assessed knowledge level of each education item, theportion of positive responders significantly increased in all items in the post-BPPE survey (p<0.001), and‘medication safety evaluation’among the items showed the greatest increase followed by ‘injectabledrug preparation’and ‘various dosage forms preparation’. In the objective practical tests after theBPPE,‘ various dosage preparation’had the highest scores of 93.8±1.1 (mean ±SD), and‘ medical terminology’and‘patient counseling’had the lowest scores of 80.5±8.5. There was no statistically significantrelationship between the self-assessed knowledge and the objective test scores. All students positivelyanswered to overall satisfaction. Only 76.7% of the students positively answered to self confidencein further advanced pharmacy practice education program, and the most negatively responded confidentitem was‘ injectable drugs preparation’. The results suggested that the BPPE program was efficient andhighly satisfying. However, the self assessment did not significantly correspond to objective evaluation. Therefore, consensus between preceptors and students regarding the purpose of BPPE, standard of students’evaluation,and items of BPPE is needed. Furthermore, there should be persistent efforts betweenthe pharmacy school and practice field by sharing information as a way to be complementary to eachother for more systematic and efficient pharmacy practice education program.

이 연구는 자활사업 집행기관에 따라 참여자의 특성, 자활사업 참여형태 그리고 자활효과가 차이가 나는지 검토하기 위하여 광주시 18개소 자활사업 참여자가 응답한 총 602사례를 위계선형모형(HLM)을 사용하여 분석하였으며 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 참여자의 대부분이 고령, 저학력, 좋지 않은 건강수준을 가진 여성들로써 노동시장에 진입하기 어려운 인적자본의 취약성을 보이고 있었다. 또한 자활만족도와 자활효과 모두 보통 이상의 값을 보여 자활사업 참여가 이들의 태도 변화를 가져오는데 일정정도 기여가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 시민사회단체와 사회복지기관 참여자들 사이 80% 이상의 여성 비율, 45세 이상의 고령, 중졸 이하의 저학력, 약 95%가 기혼자들, 2명 이상의 가구원을 갖고 있다는 점에서 공통적이었으나 시민사회단체 참여자들의 경우 사회복지기관보다 건강이 더 양호하였고, 차상위계층 이상 비율이 더 높았으며, 자활성공에 근접하다고 볼 수 있는 자활공동체 참여비율이 높았고, 자활사업에 잔류하고 있는 기간이 짧았으며, 월평균 소득이 유의하게 더 높았다. 셋째, 자활효과에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 개인특성과 자활사업 참여형태 변수들을 통제한 상태에서도 시민사회단체여부는 자활효과에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 시민사회단체일수록 자활효과는 유의하게 낮게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 동일한 정책이라도 그 집행기관에 따라 대상자 선정과 사업내용의 전개방식은 상이할 수 있으며, 서비스 결과 역시 다르게 나타날 수 있다는 점에서 집행과정의 중요성을 시사한다.

This study set out to investigate implementation agency effect on participants' self-sufficiency in self-support program. Self-support program's implementation agency consist of civil groups and social welfare corporations. The final sample size was 602 program participants and 18 implementation agencies in Gwangju city, South Korea. Two-level hierarchical linear model was used for analysis. The major findings of this study are as follows. First, civil groups' participants were healthier, more often participated in business model, earned higher monthly income, participated shorter time rather than participants in social welfare corporation. Second, civil groups' participants showed low level of self-sufficiency than participants in social welfare corporations. These results means that self-support policy is not delivered uniformly because front-line implementation agencies develop work habits that influence the outcome of policy. And limitations and implications of this study were discussed with respect to further studies.
