Method: In this study, among police officers in the security department as of 2020 who had experience in work related North Korean defectors, 100 trainees in the Police Human Resources Development Institute were surveyed via self-administration method. Among the collected survey questionnaires, 91 were selected as valid samples, excluding those whose answers were incomplete or missing. Results: As a result of the study, there was no statistically significant difference demonstrated in terms of the difference in job involvement according to the total length of police service. Furthermore, as a result of the analysis performed on the difference in terms of the police’s job involvement according to security and service period, there was no statistically significant difference in total security, service period, and job involvement. Conclusion: It turned out that there was no statistical difference in terms of the perception of job involvement between the total police’s service period, security and service period, which. means that serving for a long time in the police or security department does not affect the responsibility, effort, and voluntary participation in the job. That is, since there is no difference in the perception of job involvement based on experiences, it is apparent that the factors affecting job involvement by various factors including working environment, performance measurement, and fatigue ought to be developed.

Purpose: According to the needs of the times, the role and ability of the facilitator to help learners demonstrate their abilities as coaches in the education field is being emphasized. Coaching is helping coach and coachee through interaction with each other and helping growth. Coaching is conducted by applying various skills such as motivation for learning, effective questions, and feedback. Therefore, in order for coaching to be well done, it is necessary to approach according to the opponent and special coaching skills is needed. We try to find the answer in the conversation between Confucius and his disciples, who pursued change and growth. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find out whether the Confucius coaching dialogue method and the coaching 5 STEPS model in 『The Analects』 can be applied as a 'coaching learning method' and to find a value-oriented education method. Method: Confucius was not a knowledge transfer education method but a comprehensive humanistic wisdom, and was the leader in receiving and cultivating humanistic wisdom. It is worth discussing what Confucius' story in Analects is giving meaning to the current era in relation to the theme of value-oriented coaching learning method, and the researcher reconstructed and conducted the 5-step model of CMOE coaching among various coaching learning methods. The contents and methods of this study were analyzed by the four elements of the coaching 5 STEPS model based on the conversation meth-od in the argument: question, listening, recognition, and feedback. And the coaching 5 STEPS model proceeded with step-by-step support, topic confirmation, accident expansion, solutions, and action check. Results: Confucius in 『The Analects』 gives different answers to the same question by grasping the dispositions, attitudes, and academic maturity of his disciples through questions and answers through active listening. We provide feedback with recognition and praise through education tailored to the level of our students. And we enjoy learning together, and we lead our disciples to change and grow by reflecting through learning. As such, Confucius' dialogue method combines the coaching five-step model to show the applicability of today's coaching learning methods. In other words, in an era of limitless competition and uncertainty, it answers the questions of how to study and how to teach, and guides the way to find a value-oriented educational method that makes learning enjoyable. Conclusion: Through this thesis, Confucius' dialogue method can be applied to coaching education, and it suggests a way to find a value-oriented education method by answering the learning method suitable for the times. In addition, Analects are reinterpreted beyond the scope of classical texts, indicating that education suitable for the modern paradigm is possible.

Purpose: Northern bamboo is an evergreen broad-leaved shrub. It reaches 1~2m in height and 3~6mm in diameter, spread throughout Korea. Northern bamboo leaves, also called bamboo leaves, have been used to treat children's convulsion, vomiting blood, and severe thirst in fever. Women with repressed anger illnesses boiled bamboo leaves covered with frost and drank the water. Therefore, this study investigated the folk remedies related to Northern bamboo. The researchers tried to analyze the studied data and examine the possibility of using northern bamboo as a multi-purpose natural health food. Method: This study investigated and analyzed the folk remedies related to northern bamboo at herbal medicine stores, herbal medicine pharmacies, and medicinal herb decocting shops in Daegu metropolitan city and Yeongcheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Researchers also searched and collected valuable materials in the Naver blog.

Results: In analyzing the use of northern bamboo to folk remedies, cardiovascular disease was the most frequently used for each related disease. The frequency of use for cancer-related diseases, diabetes-related diseases was also high percentage. Bamboos were collected regardless of the season, but most were collected during the spring when new shoots were born. All bamboo parts were usable, but leaves were used the most. Bamboos were used in various processing ways, but 'drying’ regardless of sunlight and shade was the most common method. As for the ingestion types, tea was the most common style. Conclusion: Northern bamboo has been used for various diseases in folk remedies, and it is easy to obtain because it grows anywhere in the country. Eggplant seeds, jujube, licorice, and others are added when processing or ingestion, but in many cases, it is consumed alone without adding anything else. As a result of investigating and analyzing the folk remedies related to northern bamboo, the researchers reaffirmed the value of bamboo through this study. This paper evaluated that northern bamboo has the excellent potential to be used as a multi-purpose natural health food.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present a plan to manage disaster situations using MORT-TAC, a factor to consider the situation evaluation of disaster sites. Despite the importance of disaster response due to the sharing of initial disaster information in disaster response, small disasters often develop into national disasters due to the lack of important information in the event of a disaster. Method: In order to conduct research using MORT-TAC, a factor in evaluating disaster situations, various organizations can use MORT-TAC to distribute initial disaster information through literature research and telephone interviews due to COVID-19. In addition, a study was conducted to incorporate the researcher's military expertise for 30 years of military service into the disaster field. Results: As a result of the district, MORT-TAC was suggested to distribute initial information on disaster sites between city and county emergency control teams, integrated support headquarters, regional and central emergency control teams, and education and training programs to improve disaster-related officials' expertise. Conclusion: Disaster response and disaster situation management must be performed by professional officials. Disaster officials of all disaster response emergency organizations must have the expertise to manage disaster situations using MORT-TAC, and to this end, education and training programs must be reflected in the annual education plan. In addition, in-depth research on MORT-TAC should be continuously studied in the future.
