Feasibility and Efficacy of Culturally Tailored Parenting Programme Delivered In‐Person vs. Zoom for Korean Americans
First‐generation Korean Americans face parenting challenges due to language and cultural differences, impacting children's development. We evaluated the culturally tailored Ottuki Parenting Program, comparing its efficacy in‐person versus via Zoom.

An Exploration of Korean traditional parenting virtues among Korean-American parents and the impact of the Ottuki parenting program
The Use of Paradigm Models in Grounded Theory Research
이 연구는 근거이론 연구에서 스트라우스와 코빈의 패러다임 모형이 지나치게 활용되는 현상을 비판적으로 검토하고, 이를 보다 창의적이고 건설적으로 적용할 수 있는 방안을 모색하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 먼저, 근거이론 방법이 국내 사회과학계에서 확산된 이유와 그 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 스트라우스와 코빈의 패러다임 모형이 질적 연구의 신뢰성과 타당성을 높이기 위한 방법으로 주목받으며 널리 활용되었으나, 기계적인 적용으로 인해 질적 연구의 창의성을 저해하는 문제가 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 좋은 근거이론 연구를 평가할 수 있는 체크리스트를 제안하였다. 이 체크리스트는 ‘사전 준비’, ‘데이터 수집’, ‘데이터 분석’, ‘이론 제시’의 네 가지 영역으로 구성되며, 총 12개 항목을 포함한다. 이를 바탕으로, 2014년부터 현재까지 사회학 분야에서 근거…

The contributors examine how disability …
Empowering the Nameless
한국 선교의 초기 역사에서 많은 토착 여성들이 복음 전파에 중요한 역할을 했으며 사회 변화를 이끌어냈다. 초기 개신교 여성 신자의 이름은 다른 집단의 여성들과 구별된 특징을 보였는데 이를 둘러싼 여러 가지 현상에서 근대이행기의 사회문화적 변화와 함께 종교적 의미를 읽어낼 수 있다. 이름 없는 여성들에게 세례를 통해 이름을 부여하는 선교 전략은 미국 여선교사들에 의해 시행되었다. ‘거시기’나 ‘계집’이라고 불리면서 남편에게 멸시를 받고 하대받는 한국 여성들의 처지를 개선하기 위한 조치였다. 선교사들은 한국 여성이 아름답고 ‘여성적인’ 이름으로 불리면서 사회의 구성원으로 존중받기를 원했다. 기독교 이름의 초기 형태는 성경 인물의 이름, 꽃 이름 혹은 흔한 서양 여성 이름을 포함한 서양식 이름이었다. 이러한 이름 짓기는 한국 기독교인들이 수용해서 다양한 방법의 작명법이 나타났다. 선교사들은 기독교 가…
