Acknowledging the limited opportunities faced by learners of Korean in the US, this study investigates the efficacy and challenges of immersive Korean language-focus residential programs in US college dormitories. Through an examination of a Korean language dormitory (called K-house) at a Midwestern university in the US, the current study sheds light on the optimal experiences and effective immersive environments that college langauge dormitory programs in the US can foster for both linguistic and cultural learning of Korean. By delving deeper into the specific programming and experiences of K-house residents, the study demonstrates that K-house facilitates access to Korean language and culture, enhances motivation of Korean language study, and cultivates a sense of belonging to the K-house community among K-house residents. Additionally, the findings of this study provide valuable insights for designing effective Korean language dormitory programs that promote language and cultural immersion in the context of teaching and learning Korean as a foreign language. Furthermore, this study offers suggestions for future research in this area.

The purpose of this study was to develop a nursing education program using Web-based simulation for the care of patients with intracranial pressure. An additional aim was to verify the effectiveness of nursing knowledge, problem-solving competency, a critical thinking disposition, and the expectation of learning transfer. Methods: This was an experimental study using repeated measures with a nonequivalent control group. The participants were senior nursing students, randomly assigned to experimental (n=30) and control (n=30) groups. The experimental group participated in a nursing education program that included Web-based lectures, pre-briefing, Web-based simulation, and debriefing, whereas the control group’s program included only Web-based lectures. Results: A significant difference was found between the experimental and control groups in problem-solving competency (F=5.84, p=.005), critical thinking disposition (F=4.25, p=.021), and the expectation of learning transfer (t=2.30, p<.025). Also, a significant interaction between time and group was found in problem-solving competency and critical thinking disposition. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the education program using Web-based simulation positively affected nursing students’ problem-solving competency, critical thinking disposition, and the expectation of learning transfer. Therefore, this program can be considered a valuable aid in educating nursing students.

This study compares AI PengTalk’s assessments of Korean children’s pronunciation with the assessments of Korean teachers. Sixty Korean sixth-graders participated as assessees, and four Korean elementary teachers participated as assessors. Both PengTalk and the teachers rated the children’s production of 10 English sentences on a five-point scale. They focused on segmentals, stress-rhythm, intonation, and speech rate. The findings were as follows: Firstly, PengTalk evaluated the children’s pronunciation in the four elements significantly lower than the teachers across all English proficiency levels. Secondly, teachers’ ratings of the students aligned more closely with their pre-evaluated English proficiency levels than the AI PengTalk’s assessments. The teachers rated students at the upper level significantly higher than those at the intermediate level, who were, in turn, assessed significantly higher than those at the lower level in all four elements. Furthermore, AI PengTalk and the teachers differed in the mean order of the four elements, particularly in segmentals. Based on the results of this study, suggestions were made for the development and implementation of AI-based English programs.

Purpose: This study aimed to perform an integrated literature review to identify evidence for developing a problem-based learning (PBL) method based on a simulation education program for nursing students. Methods: In May 2022, 10 electronic databases were used to conduct a literature search using the keywords simulation, PBL, nursing, and education in Korean and English. Finally, 21 studies were selected. Results: There were more single-type simulation studies than studies using a hybrid model that combined two simulation types. Most simulation studies were for a single domain of adult nursing rather than for various integrated domains. Four studies (19%) applied a theory during debriefing, but most did not conduct a systematically structured debriefing. All studies selected attitude and competency as the outcome variables to study the effects of the intervention. Two variables (attitude and competency) or three variables (knowledge [or skill], attitude, and competency) were typically selected, and their effects were measured. Conclusion: PBL based on simulation education can be effective in improving nursing practice competency in nursing students. Future studies ought to develop interprofessional education programs based on PBL simulations through multidisciplinary cooperation.

Purpose: In this study, we developed an integrated simulation practicum and investigated the effectiveness of the practicum for senior nursing students. Methods: Sixty-seven senior nursing students from a university were enrolled in this study and assigned into two groups: experimental (n = 31) and control (n = 36). We developed and applied a 60-hour integrated simulation practicum that spans a 3-week period. The control group performed a traditional clinical practicum. The outcome measures were critical thinking disposition, clinical competence, and practicum satisfaction and the data were analyzed using the SPSS 23.0 software. Results: After the intervention, both experimental and control groups showed significant improvement in critical thinking disposition (p = .017) and clinical competence (p < .001) compared to those of the baseline. Regarding practicum satisfaction, the experimental group showed significantly higher satisfaction than the control group (p = .003). Conclusion: The integrated simulation practicum was an effective program that improved critical thinking, clinical competence, and practicum satisfaction in senior nursing students. To effectively improve critical thinking and acquire clinical competence, which are essential for prospective nurses, nursing students should be exposed more to simulation practicum that reflect environments similar to actual clinical settings for various patients with complex health problems.

기후변화를 비롯한 다양한 환경문제로 인하여 환경 교육의 중요성이 증가되고 있다. 환경 교육 을 위한 식물 교육 프로그램을 개발하고 이를 초등학생 121명에게 적용한 후 환경친화적 태도와 식물친숙도를 평가하였다. 식물 환경교육 프로그램에 대해서는 전체적으로 만족도가 높았으며, 프로그램 시간, 강사, 내용, 장소 등이 만족도에 영향을 미쳤다. 초등학생들은 프로그램 참여 의 사가 높으며, 만족도와 참여 의사는 높은 상관관계가 있었다. 프로그램을 수행하지 않은 학생과 비교하면 식물교육 프로그램의 효과로 환경 지식습득, 기분개선이 높게 분석되어 식물 교육 프 로그램은 환경에 대한 인식의 제고에 긍정적 효과가 있다. 환경친화적 태도의 하위 영역인 환경 보호와 환경오염에 대한 인식에서 효과가 있으며, 학년이 낮을수록 교육에 의한 차이가 있었다. 저학년부터 다양한 환경 교육 활동을 경험하게 되면 환경 감수성이 향상될 것으로 기대된다. 식 물 교육활동은 식물 친숙도에 긍정적 효과가 있으며, 인지적 측면에서 지식습득의 효과 뿐 아니 라 정서적 측면의 향상에도 유리하다. 환경친화적 태도와 식물친숙도 향상에 효과가 있는 식물 교육프로그램의 참여도 향상을 위해서는 만족도를 제고해야 하며, 이를 위해서는 프로그램 시 간, 강사, 내용 등의 운영 및 구성이 중요할 것으로 판단된다.

In school safety education, it was difficult to apply how to link the safety education according to grades year, and student’s interest was reduced due to the repetition of existing safety education contents and the absence of new teaching methods and tools. In this study, as a new type of safety education, a performance forms fire safety education program was developed. This program aims to increase students’ interest and satisfaction in safety education, and to this end, it was connect with korean elementary science curriculum and combined various engineering teaching materials or tools and methods. Developed program was applied to 2,231 students, 25 schools in 10 regions of Gyeonggi-do and surveyed 476 fifth and sixth grade students program satisfaction and 3 factors of interest in fire safety education who could respond to the survey. As a result of applying the program, more than 90% of students responded more than 'satisfied' in all areas. and statistical test(independent t-test and non-parametric test) indicates over-all satisfaction and interest factors in the program are high regardless of gender and grade, so the effectiveness can be guessed indirectly and there is a universal applicability also. Moreover, examining the influence of student interest level in the satisfaction of the fire safety program, it was found that in order to increase the satisfaction of fire safety education, students should have more fun with the content and feel interest in the teacher's teaching method or explanation.

사회적경제교육의 효과는 사회적 가치와 경제적 가치가 내면화 및 태도화되어 직접적 실행되어야 효 과성이 있으므로 초기 아동기(초등학교 1-2학년)부터 사회적경제교육이 누적될 필요가 있다. 그러나 현 재 사회적경제교육은 성인 중심, 단기성, 선택적으로 진행되고 있고, 초기 아동 대상 커리큘럼은 매우 제한적이다. 이에 본연구는 초기 아동발달 특성을 고려한 사회적경제교육 프로그램을 제안하기 위하여 필수 구성요소를 파악하고, 이들을 위한 사회적 경제교육 프로그램을 제시하는 것에 목적이 있다. 구체적인 연구방법은 사회적경제교육 학계 및 현장 전문가 8인을 대상으로 FGI(Focus Group Interview)를 실시하고 반복적 비교분석방법(Constant Comparison Method)을 통해 사회적경제 교육의 필요성, 운영구성, 내용구성, 평가, 기타 5개 영역 11개 범주를 도출하였고, 본 결과를 바탕으로 프로그 램을 제안하였다. 본 연구는 초기 아동의 발달 특성을 고려하여 사회적경제교육 커리큘럼 제안한 것에 의의가 있다. 향 후 본 연구 내용을 기반으로 하여 활용가능한 콘텐츠 개발과 교육 실행을 통한 사전 사후 평가가 실행 되기를 기대한다. 더불어 지속적인 사회적경제교육 프로그램 발전을 위하여 학년별 모듈화와 인력 전문 화, 교과과정 내 편재를 통해 초기 아동기부터 사회적경제교육 경험이 반복되기를 희망한다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest effective online pedagogical strategies for a fashion design CAD course to enhance student learning and satisfaction. The study investigated student experience of online learning and compared online learning with a face-to-face learning experience. Student concentration, participation, perceptions of effectiveness of teaching, utilization of learning materials, and satisfaction were analyzed using a 5-point Likert scale. Advantages and disadvantages of online learning as well as advantages of face-to-face learning were also analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Student concentration, participation, and perception of effectiveness of teaching were greater for face-to-face learning with significantly higher concentration on individual practice. Students utilized video recording of synchronous online lectures more actively than PDF lecture notes. The advantages of face-to-face learning were plentiful communication and feedback and easy questioning process as well as high levels of understanding and concentration. Meanwhile, major disadvantages of online learning were the speed of the lecture, lower levels of understanding and concentration, limited peer interaction, and technical problems. Major advantages of online learning were flexibility and convenience, repetitive learning through videos, and instant communication and feedback. Students preferred a blended learning approach for the fashion design CAD course. For effective online learning, it is suggested that instructors frequently question and check student practice through screen share in a private online meeting room and engage activities that are demanding of student interaction. The video recording of synchronous online lectures is also suggested as a supplemental learning material for repetitive learning.
