“…Difficulties in obtaining higher education have been documented for students with disabilities. The overall college entrance rate was 71% in 2015 in Korea, but students with disabilities were less likely than others to receive a college education (Kim & Kim, 2020). Regarding the perception of life satisfaction, 31 (36.05%) of the 86 participants were satisfied or very satisfied with their lives, and 15 (17.44%) were dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with their lives.…”

This study explored the association between mobilities and life satisfaction among wheelchair users. Mobilities encompass not only spatial mobility but also motility. Offline and online questionnaires were administered, and a mobile phone application was used to gather GPS data. Motility was measured in terms of the perceived mobility environment, and spatial mobility was measured by the daily travel distance, the average number of edges in daily motif patterns, and the number of trips per week. The results show that the perceived mobility environment and the number of edges in daily motif patterns were positively associated with life satisfaction. However, the spatial range of movement and number of trips had no correlation with life satisfaction. These results suggest that social efforts are needed to improve motility as well as mobility and promote social activity among people with mobility disabilities.

This study is conducted to collect sufficient information about the development of inclusive education in three Asian countries; South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia. The research method applied in this study is a literature study. This study collects several previous studies to answer the development of inclusive education in Asia. The development of inclusive education that relates to the early history of inclusive education to its current practices. Every child has the right to obtain a proper education. This right is protected by law in every country. One of the programs carried out to achieve Education for All is special or inclusive education. This education program is a strategy used to protect the rights of disabled students to obtain a proper education without discrimination. Several studies have shown the obstacles and developments experienced by inclusive education. Every country has its own obstacles and progress. This study is expected to be an insight to know how the development of inclusive education in South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia

“…Also, CPR education was included in the health curriculum from fourth grade elementary school to the first grade of high school from 2009 in Korea [ 14 ]. According to the 2022 survey, 99% of high schools with health courses provided CPR education [ 15 ]. In another study, sixth grade children of elementary school had the highest confidence and propagation power in their CPR abilities as well as the highest overall skill scores, indicating that elementary school was an important time to start CPR education [ 16 ].…”

Objectives: This study aimed to assess variations in chest compression depth among Korean elementary school students based on grade, physical characteristics, and strength.Methods: The study involved 140 children in the third to sixth grades from elementary schools. Before providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) education, we assessed height, weight, BMI, grip strength, and back strength. Subsequently, CPR education was administered, followed by individual measurements of compression depth. The factors related to compression depths was analyzed using t-test, ANOVA and multivariable regression.Results: The mean compression depth was consistently lower than the guideline standard across all grades, indicating grade-dependent differences (p = 0.000). Moreover, height, weight, BMI, grip strength and back strength increased, exhibited significant increases with grade (p = 0.000). In multivariable regression analysis, it was observed that as grade increased, chest compression depth increased by 0.701 cm (p = 0.000).Conclusion: School grade significantly influenced achieving the proper chest compressions depth, no notable correlation found for physical factors. Thus, a strategy emphasizing the importance of sufficient chest compressions during CPR education, particularly targeting elementary school students, seems necessary to encourage greater effort.
