Zhou Jing 우송대학교 TESOL-MALL대학원 2011 국내석사

At the crossroads of globalization, Chinese educational departments and schools encourage their local English teachers to reeducate and strengthen their teaching abilities and qualities by various ways in order to keep pace with the rapid development of education. Among these tunnels, TESOL training program is becoming fashionable and acceptable by more and more English teachers. At present, there are four modes of TESOL training program in China which are School-Based Training, Country-Based Training, Overseas Training and On-line Training. This study intends to examine one extended form of Overseas Training that is TESOL training program being held in a non-English speaking country like South Korea. In this thesis, the researcher studied on a Korean TESOL training program for Chinese English teachers which lasted for 3 weeks. By the ways of observations, interviews, documents and audiovisual materials, the researcher analyzed, discussed and discovered motivations to get TESOL training in South Korea, training expectations, cultural adjustment and training curriculum were the main factors which could influence the effect of the Korean TESOL training program. Cultural explorations and future suggestions were as emerging themes which could devote the success of the training program. Through this study, the researcher found some merits and some areas for improvement of this TESOL training program which can be good advice for its development in the near future.

AT THE CROSSROADS OF SECULARISM AND ISLAMISM

박순용 University of Wisconsin-Madison 2002 해외박사

This dissertation examines the Imam-Hatip (preacher-prayer leader) schools in Turkey from 1995 to 1997. The Imam-Hatip schools are secondary elective vocational education institutions under the supervision and control of the Ministry of Education and the Directorate of Religious Affairs. The Imam-Hatip schools were initially established in the 1950s to prepare students both for such professional positions as religious functionary or Koran instructor. Over the years, the Imam-Hatip schools have transformed into more mainstream educational institutions that cater primarily to the children of conservative and religious parents. Contemporary controversies surrounding the Imam-Hatip schools in particular and religious schooling in general exemplify and highlight the cultural and intellectual battles between the Kemalists (those who advocate the secular ideology of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk) and the Islamists (those who are committed to the Muslim way of life) regarding religion’s rightful place in Turkish society. The ethnographic accounts of the inner dynamics of the Imam-Hatip schools reveal that there are inherent discrepancies between the normative teachings of Islam and what the students actually incorporate within and outside the school setting. Furthermore, because the process of socialization in the Imam-Hatip school transmits a dual orientation of secularism and Islamism through both curricular and non-curricular activities, a constant process of negotiation has to take place. In short, the students attending these schools have to deal with a complex reality requiring them to choose between, if not reconcile, the existence of competing outlooks on life. This dissertation documents the transformation in character and meaning of the Imam-Hatip schools in Turkey during the Republican era together with more recent political developments with respect to education policies, legal challenges, and governmental interventions, while concurrently examining the perspectives of students, teachers, and parents. By so doing, it offers insight into broader societal ramifications of religious socialization in these schools. Furthermore, by overlapping the development of the Imam-Hatip schools with the contraction and expansion of religion in the course of the Turkish republic’s history, the thesis sheds light on how secularist policies and religious demands have been constantly negotiated and compromised.

비대칭으로 연결된 도로 합류부에서의 홍수흐름특성에 관한 수치적 연구

최근 집중호우에 의해 홍수 위험도가 증대 되고 있으며, 도시화에 따른 도시형 홍수피해가 급증하고 있다. 이에 홍수피해를 최소화하기 위해서는 도로와 도로가 서로 연결된 합류부에서의 홍수파의 전파특성을 분석하고 예측할 필요성이 있으며 도로를 따라 흐르는 홍수의 흐름을 예측하고 분석하기 위해 수치모형이 많이 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 유입각에 따른 도로 합류부에서 홍수흐름특성을 비교 분석하기 위해 두 개의 도로를 45°로 교차시켜 합류부 및 합류부 주변에서의 홍수흐름특성에 대한 실험적 및 수치적으로 분석 하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저, ANSYS CFX 모형에 적용된 수치기법은 유한체적법으로 다양한 유입유량 및 유입각에 따라 교차로에서 변화되는 복잡한 수면양상에 대해서 연구할 수 있으면 정량적으로 분석한 결과는 대체적으로 잘 모의되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 합류부 및 합류부 주변에서에서의 수심변화와 유출도로의 하류경계에서의 유량에 대한 비교분석결과는 실험결과와 잘 일치하였음을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 교차로의 유입각이 45°와 135° 일때, Y방향의 유량을 1, 3, 6배 달리 했을 경우, X, Y축의 수심변화를 분석한 결과, 유입각이 클 수록 또는 유량 차이가 클 수록 유량이 작은 X축에 역류현상(backwater effect)으로 인해 수심이 높아짐을 확인하였다. 본 연구에 적용된 수치모형을 향후 유입각을 75°로 달리 하였을 경우에 대해서 모의해 볼 필요성이 있으며, 집중호우로 인한 도시지역 주변의 홍수피해를 상습침수지역에 적용하여 예상치 못한 재해가 발생하였을 때 대피시간 및 경로를 설정하여, 참고자료로 활용할 수 있으며 향후 주요 도로와 합류부에서 홍수규모에 따른 흐름경로 및 형태를 사전에 파악하여 홍수대피지도를 수립하기 위한 기초 참고자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. In recent times, the risk of flooding has increased owing to heavy rains, and urbanization has led to a rapid rise in urban flood damage. Therefore, analyzing and predicting the propagation properties of floodwater at junctions where roads are connected is necessary for minimizing flood damage. Therefore, many numerical models for predicting and analyzing the flow of floodwater along roads have been applied. In the present study, for comparing and analyzing floodwater flow properties at road junctions in accordance with the inflow angle, the floodwater flow properties at a junction and at the periphery of the junction were experimentally and numerically analyzed by having two roads intersect at 45°; our findings are as follows. First, the numerical technique that was applied to ANSYS CFX was the finite volume technique; it was determined that in general, qualitative analysis results can be simulated well if research is conducted on the characteristics of the complex water surface, which change at intersecting roads depending on the inflow rate and inflow angle. We also found that the comparative analysis results for water depth changes at a junction and at a junction periphery as well as for the flow rate at the downstream boundary of an outflow road can be well matched to experimental results. Second, when the inflow angles of crossroads are 45° and 135°, the results obtained when analyzing the X- and Y-axis water depth changes when the Y-direction flow rate is varied among magnitudes of 1, 3, and 6 showed that the greater the inflow angle or greater the difference in the flow rates, the higher is the water depth because of the backwater effect along the X-axis, which has a lower flow rate. Later, there is a need to simulate the numerical model applied in the present study with respect to a case where the inflow angle is altered to 75°. By applying floodwater damage caused by heavy rain at the periphery of urban regions to frequently inundated regions, the evacuation times and routes can be established and reference materials can be used. We expect that it will be possible to predict the flow route and type at main roads and junctions depending on the scale of flooding, and to make use of basic reference materials for establishing flood evacuation maps.
