To provide a set of data with which instructors may boost the sagging demand for Anglo-American poetry classes, this thesis classifies the kinds of difficulties the students face in reading English poems. Asses to the classification is an analysis on the causes of the difficulties at different levels of the reading process, from the linguistic to the cultural. Arnoldian insight argues that poetry is the best of all forms of writing. Without an ample exposure to poetry, average English majors would barely sharpen the skills that they use to deal with other kinds of writing. To help ease the continuing need for a workable teaching model in English poetry reading classes, this thesis suggests focusing on the kinds of wrong translations produced by the students. According to the theory of cultural translation, any translation, even the wrong kind, is already a product of a very complicated process of interpretation that involves many cultural factors. With the analysis of these factors discovered in Korean college English reading classes, this thesis tries to explain the mechanisms through which wrong translations are produced, since these inevitably lead to wrong interpretations of given poetic texts.

The purpose of this study was to investigate orientation toward teaching of science teachers had shown in lesson on Law of Definite Composition for middle school students and the factors which influenced its formation. To achieve this, we collected survey materials by recording and analyzing lessons of 8 teachers, interviewing them, and using CoRe questionnaire. From teachers' activities in lessons, we found their orientation toward science teaching, and through analyzing collected materials, drew the factors which influenced the formation of orientation toward science teaching. The result identified two types of orientation toward science teaching: activity-directional and lecture-directional. The former, activity-directional was categorized further as exploration and non-exploration; the latter as interaction-centered and content delivery. The main factors which affected the formation of orientation toward science teaching were reflective thinking through teaching experiences, interaction with colleagues, consideration on education environment, training as a learner, and their own interest and curiosity. Among them, the reflective thinking through teaching experiences was strongest cause, and teacher's interest and curiosity was even limited, also influenced positively. On the other hand, unlikely other factors, consideration on education setting affected negatively to build teacher's teaching orientation. Interaction with colleagues, training for teachers by universities and graduated schools acted on a bit, but had a limit just for mainly developing science content knowledge.

Creative teaching methods can be beneficial in enhancing creativity and self-directed learning abilities in the classroom. However, there may be some specific learning tasks where applying creative teaching methods can be difficult. This is because students may not have completed the necessary prerequisite learning before performing the learning task, leading to low reliability of task results or meaninglessness. This study aims to propose teaching methods that enhance creativity and self-directed learning ability when performing learning tasks that may not have sufficient prior learning. To achieve this, we present a case of applying creative teaching methods to a learning task called "national threats". As a research procedure, we provide a suitable teaching method model and detailed procedures for the given learning task, and apply them in actual classes. The results showed that applying the presented teaching methods for the learning task produced meaningful academic achievements. This study can be valuable not only for enhancing creativity in education but also for interdisciplinary research in fields such as education and national security.

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that affect the intention to run remote classes after COVID-19 with university professors have fully experienced remote classes due to COVID-19. The research questions are what are the factors and the combinations of factors that affect the intention to run remote classes in the post-COVID-19. Data were collected through a survey of 311 remote classes at S Univ. in Seoul in fall 2020, and individuals and combinations of factors were confirmed through logistic regression analysis and decision tree analysis. As a result, individual factors were quality management, online office hours, quizzes midterm oral exams, video development, and student-student and instructor-student Q&A type between face-to-face and remote class. As combinations of factors, it was found that quality management×quiz×student Q&A and quality management×quiz×voting type had an effect on whether to run remote classes. Based on the results, we proposed to run and support remote classes in the post-COVID-19 era.

In the flow state, people are absorbed in their activities, while irrelevant thoughts and perceptions are screened out. In Csikszentmihalyi's view, the term 'flow' is used in describing the best feeling in human lives. Flow has been conceptualized as an optimal experience that stems from people's perception on challenges and skills in a given situation. We can easily observe that students who are learning from WBI experience flow state occasionally. If we identify the related factors that make flow experiences possible in WBI, the designers and instructors of WBI might be greatly benefitted by having ideas of how to provide optimal flow experiences to their students. In this article, we attempted to analyze what are critical Flow factors in WBI and provided guidelines on how to design optimal flow experiences in WBI.

This paper aims to explore the factors of learner's flow and to develop and validate a scale to measure the flow in Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game(MMORPG) for education. First of all, potential factors were drawn through literature review. The potential stage comprises 6 factors(learner's psychological characteristics, learner's skill, importance of game, environment for learner, instructional design, and instructional environment) and 16 subfactors. With total 48 items developed. a survey was carried out among 293 elementary learners who had been participating in a commercial MMORPG for English skills to measure their flow in the MMORPG by utilizing the potential scale. Using the responses collected from 288 respondents, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis were performed. The expository factor analysis showed that items within each sub-factors could be bound into one factor. That is, the variables evaluating learner's flow were divided into six factors(learner's psychological characteristics, learner's skill, importance of game, environment for learner, instructional design, and instructional environment). And these factors were interpreted consisting of 16 sub-ones. Reliability estimates indicated that the evaluation tool had good internal consistency. The confirmatory factor analysis did confirm the model suggested by the expository factor analysis. Over fit measures(CFI, NFI, NNFI) showed the good suitability of the model. Findings of this study confirmed the validity and reliability of the scale to measure learner's flow in MMORPG.

Since e-learning is conducted based on the learner's autonomy, motivation to continuously participate is crucial for success in e-learning. As the number of adult learners participating in lifelong education increases, it is necessary to study learner participation and the motivating factors. Drawing upon the Expectancy-Value Theory and Self-Regulated Learning Theory, this study analyzed the influence of motivational factors (value, costs, cognitive regulation, and scheduling) on learner participation. An e-learning program was implemented on MoodleCloud, and learners completed a survey before going through the program. Regression analysis was conducted using the survey response data along with the participation score, calculated using the log data. The results of the analysis demonstrated that value and scheduling significantly influenced learner participation, with gender differences found in value. This means that as adult learners perceive higher value in the e-learning program and possess better scheduling skills, they are more likely to participate. These findings can be utilized in developing teaching and learning strategies for both learners and instructors, ultimately helping to prevent dropout in e-learning.

This study classifies the characteristics of e-learning learners into personal and psychological factors and examines how they affect the e-learning effects and intention to reuse. For this purpose, a research study was conducted targeting university students at Y and K universities in Gyeongsangbuk-do. As a result, first, the grade, self-control, concentration and self-efficacy of the learner influenced the learning effect of e-learning. Second, learner's grade, e-learning experience, self-efficacy, and learning effect were found to influence e-learning intention. Therefore, the system design and the managerial role of the instructor should be considered in order to develop various contents considering the characteristics of university students and to manage the learning process by themselves. The results of this study are expected to provide effective data for improving the learning effect of e-learning and to provide basic data on individual characteristics of e-learning learners.
