Study on application of K-OVEP in school settings

Abstract

[Purpose] This study aims to examine necessity and characteristics of the K-OVEP, and discuss ways of settle and spread the program stably through cases applied in school settings. [Methods] To do so, educational components and curriculum of the K-OVEP was represented by analyzing references, developmental materials, and program application. This study was examined through the application process and observation of long-term program of the K-OVEP from two types of educational fields, 2 elementary schools and 2 middle schools. In order to examine if the K-OVEP achieves the aim of the IOC and the K-OVEP, basic level study was conducted to 187 students who participated in the program in 2016. The questionnaire consisted of three categories; ‘cognition part’ through the Olympic games and the Olympic values, ‘value part’ regarding five educational themes of the OVEP, and ‘interest part’ asking interest and involvement in sports activities, participants answered the questionnaire before and after the education. [Results] We found that K-OVEP is an integrated value based educational program regarding Olympics, stresses personality education, encourages students to explore their career, and is a process oriented education. The results showed that the K-OVEP achieved the educational goals in every categories and questions, and educational effects in sports activity looked different among schools and the environments. [Conclusion] This study was performed to participants at first year of the introduction of the K-OVEP, so in order to keep track of learners’ significant change continuously, expansion of participants, steady development of various new programs, development of assessment tools, experts training and follow-up studies will be required.

Design Strategies for Hydroxyapatite‐Based Materials to Enhance Their Catalytic Performance and Applicability

“…[63] During the hydrolysis of DCPA, plate-like particles exposing the c-plane of HAP crystals can be obtained when the temperature, DCPA concentration, and pH are adequately adjusted. [64] Carbonated HAPs can be formed in sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 ) solution using DCPA as a precursor and controlling CO 3 2− uptake by using additives. [65] Due to the relatively low temperatures employed, hydrolysis methods generally require a long processing time to obtain a well-defined HAP, which is adjustable according to the reaction temperature and type of precursors.…”
