The purpose of this study was to introduce and evaluate a nursing ethics seminar course designed for senior nursing students at a university to address the ethical challenges they faced during clinical practice. The course was offered as an elective and 22 students who had completed various clinical practicums over four semesters participated. The participants led discussions on ethical issues they encountered during their clinical practice. To evaluate the effectiveness of the course, an open-ended survey was conducted at the end of the course. The findings were categorized into three main themes: Individual Growth, Collaborative Opportunities, Suggestions for Improvement. The first category is comprised of ‘Experienced emotional acceptance and relaxation’, ‘Felt comforted and encouraged’, ‘Gained clarity’, and ‘Experienced personal growth’. The second category consists of ‘Self-reflection within a group’, ‘Diverse learning opportunities’, ‘Pleasures of discussion-based learning.’ Third category is comprised of ‘Modifying the lesson structure’ and ‘Optimizing the learning space.’
Purpose: This study seeks to confirm the relationship between learning self-efficacy, learning satisfaction, and transfer motivation among nursing students who complete the integrated simulation practice class. Method: The data for the study were collected through self-report questionnaires administered to 4th year students and were analyzed using the SPSS 18.0 program. Results: The findings show that learning self-efficacy is 6.03±.69 (7 points), learning satisfaction is 4.23±.57 (5 points), and transfer motivation is 5.70±.90 (7 points). The transfer motivation has a positive correlation with both learning self-efficacy and learning satisfaction and learning self-efficacy has a positive correlation with learning satisfaction. The factors influencing the transfer motivation of nursing students are learning self-efficacy (β=.87, p<.001) and learning satisfaction (β=.24, p=.028), which together account for 61.9% of the transfer motivation. Conclusion: The results demonstrate that to enhance the transfer motivation for nursing students, it is necessary to develop a program and curriculum for increasing learning self-efficacy and learning satisfaction.
In this paper, I discuss how to organize the syllabus of 'Practice in teaching Korean' course, which is one of the obligatory courses for the undergraduate Korean language education major students. Among other courses, 'Practice in teaching Korean' is a practical class in which the students visit the real class and also practice the real teaching skill. This course includes forming syllabus program, visiting an actual class, teaching exercise and lecture simulation. Currently, the demand for the professional Korean teachers is increasing gradually. At this point, it would be a meaningful work to look closely into teaching plans of the same course in many other Korean Departments, and to point out some critical issues on the basis of this research. In this paper we strongly propose that the importance of the practical excercise should not be neglected. Also, I will design syllabus of 'Practice in teaching Korean'and suggest a phase OJT(on-the-job training) program.
