The purpose of this study is to examine study abroad participation and its relationship with career decision self-efficacy. It also aims to explore the explanatory factors for this relationship using mixed methods. Data were collected from 258 study abroad participants using pre- and post-test surveys at the A university. Subsequently, qualitative interviews with 16 participants were conducted to explain quantitative results. Findings showed that the career-related achievement goal and participants' interactions with local students played an important role in participants' career development. On the other hand, the group of participants whose career decision self-efficacy decreased after participation were also identified. This finding can be understood from the qualitative finding that participants bounced back to their previous career plans after return, re-experiencing the barrier of reality in finding a job in the Korean society. This is different from the circumstances in a destination country they studied abroad in. In addition, the quantitative finding can be understood from the qualitative finding that some students decided to participate in study abroad program simply for vacation and international experiences, without trying to relate it to career exploration. Based on findings from this study, implications for higher education institutions running a study abroad program were discussed and suggestions for future research were provided.

GNU(Gyeongsang National University)-PSU(Pittsburg State University) and GNU-OSU(Ohio State University) joint program are developed for our global engineering education. Though the SAE Baja program and the engineering management program with PSU, and the mechanical engineering program with OSU, our students have learned the capstone design, the engineering management, and the mechanical engineering as well as English conversation. After these joint programs, our students have improved English ability and have got good jobs as global leaders.

As a dual-degree program/exchange student program becomes widespread, the faculty and students consisting of a course are being globalized. Recently, there has been an online or blended learning-based course, which is evolved from a conventional offline course. However, the course has no consideration of a dual-degree program or exchange student program because it is limited to a domestic university. To create and manage a global course, there have several of difficulties in the aspects of cost or effectiveness. As a solution to tackle them, it is necessary to do research on providing blended global courses with a fusion approach of online and offline. In this paper, we studied and presented a model of blended global courses. To create and maintain overseas scholar-oriented courses, we devised eight types of blended global courses depedning on their opening time and the cooperative relation between online and offline and made their comparative analysis. The blended global course proposed in this paper can be applied to cultivating global human resources in universities.

In this study, we analyzed the longitudinal effect of participation in an overseas exchange student program on foreign language competence, intercultural competence, and personal development. Data were collected over three time points from the pre-, post-, and post-post tests with Korean college students who participated in an overseas exchange program. Hierarchical linear model was conducted to examine whether the change of participation effects exists over time and which predictors affected outcomes. The results of unconditional growth model showed that foreign language competence, cultural competence, and personal development showed statistically significant differences in their initial status prior to departure to participate in an overseas program as well as their growth rate. The results of conditional growth model showed that parents' level of education and overseas experiences before college affected the initial status of foreign language competence, and gender and overseas experience before college affected those of cultural competence as well as personal development. In case of growth rate, overseas experience before college and destination country/region affected foreign language competence, and interactions between Korean participating students and local students affected cultural competence. For personal development, only overseas experiences before college affected its growth rate. Lastly, relevant discussion and implications were provided.

컴퓨터 보급률이 크게 향상됨에 따라 정보의 공유나 교환이 매우 쉬운 웹의 특성을 이용하여 초등학생들도 학습문제를 해결하는데 컴퓨터를 많이 활용하고 있다. 그러나, 게임과 채팅 등 오락 중심의 주된 사용은 컴퓨터를 올바르게 사용하고 있는지에 의문을 갖게 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 학업성취도가 낮은 학생들을 대상으로 컴퓨터활용 능력을 증진시키기 위한 교육프로그램을 개발하여, 대상 학습자별로 개별적 주기적으로 시행하였다. 그 후, 컴퓨터활용능력의 향상에 따른 학업성취도의 향상 여부에 대한 영향력을 분석하였다.

장애학생들을 위한 특수교육에 있어서 개인의 능력이나 특성에 맞는 개별화 교육의 실시는 필수적이다. 개별화 교육을 효율적으로 실시하기 위해 특수교육기관에서는 개별화 교육 계획, 즉 IEP를 작성하여 활용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재 사용하고 있는 IEP 의 문제점들을 제시하고 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위한 방법으로 웹 기반 프로그램의 설계를 제안한다. 웹을 통해 시간과 공간의 제약없이 의견교환이 원활하게 이루어지도록 하고 , 데이터베이스구축을 통해 중복되는 부분을 줄여 IEP 작성 양식을 간소화한다. 또한, IEP가 실제 수업에 적극 활용될 수 잇도록 설계한다.

The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate and compare the vowel lengths of English diphthongs and low vowels among native-English-speaking Americans and Korean college exchange students. To do this eight words and sixteen sentences were uttered and recorded by nine subjects, five Korean subjects and four American subjects. Results showed that the vowel lengths of English low vowels between American subjects and Korean subjects were different, which may lead to foreign accent of Korean speakers. Comparing the average length of English low vowels of Korean subjects with those of American subjects, we can see that American subjects tend to pronounce the English low vowels longer than Korean subjects do. In the pronunciation of diphthongs /eI/ and /ou/, Korean subjects pronounced longer than American subjects did. However, in the pronunciation of diphthongs /au/, /aI/, and /ɔI/, American subjects pronounced longer than Korean subjects did.

최근 기업들이 취업이나 승진에서 영어 말하기 능력을 중시하는 경향이 커지면서 영어권 국가로의 어학연수를 고려하는 학생들이 급격히 증가하고 있다. 어학연수에는 결코 적지 않은 비용이 소요 되며 적게는 3개월에서 많게는 1년 이상의 시간을 들여야 하므로 어학연수 프로그램의 선택에 매우 신중을 기해야 할 것 이다. 웹 상에는 이러한 어학연수 프로그램들에 대한 정보나 의견을 교환할 수 있는 수많은 커뮤니티 및 포럼들이 존재하며, 기 이용자들이 작성한 이용기 및 의견 게시물 또한 헤아릴 수 없이 많이 존재한다. 어학연수를 떠나고자 하는 대다수의 사람들은 이러한 웹 사이트에서 기존 이용자들의 이용기를 접하고 선택여부를 결정하고자 할 것이다. 하지만 이 수많은 게시물들을 모두 읽어보고 결정한다는 것은 너무나 많은 시간과 노력이 소모되게 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 웹서버에 저장되어 있는 수많은 이용기를 오피니언 마이닝하고, 어학연수 프로그램에 대한 속성을 카테고리 별로 분석하여 이를 수치화해서 신규 이용자가 적은 시간과 노력으로 프로그램을 결정할 수 있도록 도와 줄 수 있는 방법을 제안하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to develop a sustainable dietary education program using garden vegetables for middle school students. Textbook analysis and demand survey were conducted before developing the program. Ten textbooks of technology and home economics for middle and high school students were analyzed and the results showed that none of the textbooks covered food gardening. Two hundred and six middle school students participated in the demand survey and the results revealed that students lack an understanding of food gardening despite high interest. Therefore, six sessions of a sustainable dietary education program using garden vegetables were developed based on a six-step DESIGN procedure. Then, the content validity of the program was evaluated by three experts and the program was revised based on the results. This dietary education program will lead students to live a sustainable diet, eventually benefiting the health and wellness of individuals, communities and ecosystems.

Various methods of Smart education were tested on students in Elementary and Middle schools, as Smart learning expands. In this paper, we analyzed a Smart r- Learning-teaching model that utilizes Bluetooth and Class SNS, for students. We focused on all aspects that students found easy to program, on controlling the Bluetooth-connected robot with a smartphone, as well as on a diversity of opinions related to using Class SNS in the robot class without time constraints. Subsequently, we attempted to apply the developed a Smart r-Learning program to the classes of students, We undertook a t-test for students to find out whether it helped them enhance their creative thinking and investigated their satisfaction with the class. As a result, the study showed that students' satisfaction with a Smart r-Learning class is exceptionally high, at 96%, and students' creative thinking and programming skills in order to control improved markedly.
