The purpose of this study is to explore the meaning of life of middle-aged women participating in the 'Beautiful Story grandmother' activity through narratives. Data was collected from 11 informants aged 56 to 65 who are active as story mothers in the Gyeongbuk region through semi-structured interviews, and data was analyzed using thematic analysis among peers. The activities of the story grand mothers revealed a central narrative for participants that includes 'confidence blossoming through effort', 'time for self-care and nurturing', ‘hearts connected through stories', 'a lighthouse sharing wisdom with children', and‘a shining presence in society'. The activities of the participants suggest that the role of storytelling goes beyond merely telling stories to middle-aged women; it becomes an experience that opens a new chapter in life, transforming pain into achievement, time into meaning, and existence into a subjective journey of life. This study confirms that the 'Beautiful Story Grandmother' activity is a vital practice that facilitates self-reflection and the formation of subjectivity among middle-aged women, providing significant implications for understanding the life transition experiences in which they reconstruct their subjective life narratives.

This study explores how the identities of a married soprano -as a housewife, soprano and music educator-are integrated and developed throughout her life. To this end, the study employs arts-based research, narrative inquiry and a quantum mechanical interpretation to describe her multidimensional identity. The researcher, who also appears as the narrative voice of "I", focused on the three-dimensional narrative inquiry space of temporality, sociality and place, deriving the following findings. First, through my multifaceted identities as housewife, soprano and educator, I internalized the superposition state of quantum mechanics. Through my experiences of childbirth and child rearing, I achieved deeper interpretations of arias and art songs, while also growing in my capacity to educate and care for my community and students. Second, through the duo concert with a fellow soprano who accompanied me throughout my musical journey, I experienced the quantum-mechanical entanglement characterized by nonlocal interaction. Third, by communicating with audiences on stage, I internalized the concept of quantum measurement. This study provides policy insights in the lives of married female artists who face career discontinuity and challenges in returning to artistic work after marriage. Futhermore, as an interdisciplinary case that bridges science and art, it presents a practical example of applying quantum mechanics to the arts, thereby offering foundational data for the development of interdisciplinary educational programs that integrate quantum mechanics.

This study examines the emerging model of the ‘University Consortium’ an innovative approach to addressing the limitations of traditional higher education systems. A University Consortium refers to a collaborative framework through which multiple universities collectively share human and material resources to enhance educational and research capacities. This model is proposed as a strategy to cultivate interdisciplinary talent capable of navigating the rapid societal changes unfolding worldwide. The study reviews international cases of university consortia, conducts a typological analysis based on global examples, and proposes strategies to revitalize the University Consortium model in South Korea. Four types of university consortia are identified in this paper: region-based consortia, theme-oriented consortia focused on education and research, online platform-based consortia, and stakeholder-centered consortia. To foster the activation of university consortia in South Korea, this study recommends expanding both online and offline infrastructures, broadening learner demographics, and establishing interdisciplinary talent development systems aligned with concrete social challenges. As education increasingly transitions into digital environments, the development and effective use of shared online platforms become essential. Furthermore, educational programs should embrace diverse learner populations and nurture practical competencies that connect closely with local communities, thereby contributing to a sustainable and impactful educational ecosystem that returns value to society. The ability to critically interpret and derive insights from the outcomes of advanced digital technologies is grounded in the intellectual traditions of the humanities and social sciences. This highlights the growing necessity of promoting interdisciplinary education that integrates the humanities, social sciences, culture, and the arts.

This study aims to understand corporate branding practices that utilize cultural codes and to examine the role of brand visual identity within this process. To this end, Holt’s (2004) cultural branding theory was adopted as the primary analytical framework, supplemented by Peirce’s(1931) semiotic theory as a secondary theoretical background. Based on these frameworks, a qualitative case study of the Chinese tea beverage brand HEYTEA was conducted, supported by a document review of secondary data sources. The analysis revealed that around 2016, China experienced cultural tension between the state-led ideology of reviving traditional culture and collectivism, and the growing individual pursuit of self-realization, which generated social anxieties among consumers. In response, HEYTEA drew attention to the social discourse of “小確幸(small but certain happiness)” as a means to alleviate such anxieties and effectively visualized this cultural myth through its logo design. This interpretation not only extends Holt’s cultural branding theory to the Chinese regional context but also provides academic implications for understanding brands and VI from a socio-cultural perspective.

This study aims to develop a performance management indicator framework for arts and culture convergence curricula based on the CIPP (Context-Input-Process-Product) evaluation model. Literature on curriculum performance management and convergence/arts convergence education, evaluation criteria and indicators from government-funded programs, and operational cases of domestic and international universities and consortia were reviewed through literature, policy, and case analysis. Drawing on these analyses, the CIPP model and SMART principles were applied to structure evaluation domains and indicators across four areas: context (educational goals and vision, talent demand and environmental analysis, governance and institutional foundation), input (curriculum design and content, instructional and human resources support, financial and physical/digital infrastructure), process (fidelity of curriculum implementation, co-curricular programs, use of infrastructure and collaborative operation), and product (educational outcomes, student competencies and career development, dissemination of outcomes and feedback). By applying the CIPP model to arts and culture convergence curricula, this study proposes an integrated performance management framework and a basic set of indicators that can be used by institutions. If these indicators are further refined through field application and empirical validation, they may serve as a practical tool to support quality assurance and sustainable development in arts and culture convergence education.

This study conducted a bibliometric analysis of 406 articles indexed in the Web of Science to examine the developmental trends and structural characteristics of EEG-based music response research. Since the 2000s, this field has shown rapid quantitative growth and multidisciplinary expansion, extending from ERP- and MMN-focused basic studies to emotion, cognition, language, motor, and clinical domains. Neuroscience and psychology were the core disciplines, with growing convergence into clinical neurology and behavioral sciences. Rhythm, harmony, and auditory composite features were major musical variables, and study populations expanded from healthy adults to children, older adults, and clinical groups. Western-led research networks have recently diversified into Asia, forming technology-integrated ecosystems. The emergence of keywords such as “music therapy”, “emotion”, and “stress” highlights EEG's role as a quantitative tool for verifying the neurophysiological mechanisms of music therapy. This study provides a neuroscientific foundation for evidence-based music therapy.

University students today are increasingly exposed to emotional challenges amid rapidly changing social dynamics, competitive academic environments, and uncertain career prospects. Difficulties in emotional regulation, confusion in self-understanding, and pressure in forming relationships continue to affect students beyond academic domains. These issues are gradually being recognized not merely as individual concerns, but as matters that higher education institutions should engage with from an educational standpoint. This study aims to explore whether co-curricular programs in universities can serve as a practical approach to alleviating emotional difficulties and enhancing emotional awareness among students. To this end, it reviews various theoretical frameworks-including Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), resilience, positive psychology, and mindfulness and constructs a conceptual model for designing emotion-centered co-curricular programs based on the emotional recovery process. Four sequential stages-recognition, expression, release, and reconstruction-serve as the foundation for proposing nine types of program models, each accompanied by a discussion of their core components and implementation strategies. Furthermore, the study outlines several design principles-such as ensuring emotional safety, structuring activities according to emotional development, and providing flexibility in participation-that may inform practical program development. In terms of evaluation, the study emphasizes the importance of assessing emotional change and depth of self-reflection over simple participant satisfaction. This research does not seek to position co-curricular programs as alternatives to professional therapeutic interventions, nor does it attempt to generalize its findings across all institutional contexts. Rather, it suggests that, if emotional engagement can be more naturally and continuously integrated into the educational experience, emotion-centered co-curricular activities may be considered as a meaningful form of student support within higher education.

This study examines the structural factors that intensify learning gaps in public education in the AI era and explores the need to reconstruct a teacher support ecosystem to address these challenges. A preliminary mixed-methods approach was employed, combining document analysis with semi-structured in-depth interviews, using UNESCO’s (2021) Inclusive and Equitable Education framework focusing on access, participation, and outcome. The findings reveal that an examination-oriented education system, increased cognitive load, and unequal access to digital technologies and instructional tools constrain the implementation of convergent education and exacerbate learning gaps. Teachers also face structural limitations related to time, human resources, and professional support when implementing personalized learning. Based on these findings, this study proposes directions for establishing a practice-oriented teacher support ecosystem that integrates teacher professional development, digital resources, and community partnerships to promote inclusive future education.

This study analyzes traditional painting units in eleven high school art textbooks developed under the 2022 Revised Curriculum and examines the integrative potential of traditional painting education using Kane and Trochim’s (2007) concept mapping method. Employing a combination of content analysis, multidimensional scaling (MDS), and cluster analysis, conceptual relationships embedded in textbook texts and learning activities were structurally visualized. The analysis identified six core conceptual clusters: Nature-Harmony, Tradition- Culture-Succession, Appreciation-Reflection-Verbalization, Expression-Material-Technique, Aesthetics-Sayi-Qi, and Convergence-Creativity-Expansion. These clusters formed a hierarchical structure in which appreciation-based domains occupied central positions, while material practice, aesthetic philosophy, and contemporary reinterpretation functioned as mediating or peripheral domains. The findings reveal that although traditional painting education demonstrates integrative potential, explicit articulation of Eastern aesthetic concepts and structurally connected experiential activities remain limited. This study suggests that concept mapping provides an effective analytical framework for examining the cognitive and structural organization of traditional painting education in art textbooks.

This study investigated how arts middle and high school ballet majors make sense of concurrent Pilates training and how perceived changes relate to performance satisfaction, self-regulation, and emotional stability. Twelve students from a Seoul-based arts school (“S School”) completed semi-structured interviews (June 16-October 31, 2025), analyzed via Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis with member checking and an audit trail. participants reframed alignment as ongoing sensing and adjustment and reported improved breath- intra-abdominal pressure-based core support, a shift in balance from ankle-dominant to hip/core-centered control, controlled mobility, and enhanced self-regulation through scaling load, speed, and range. Reported changes followed a pathway from alignment awareness to core regulation, improved balance/mobility quality, and increased satisfaction and emotional stability. Instructor feedback and logistical accessibility shaped transfer and sustained participation; future studies should test these pathways using mixed methods and longitudinal designs.
