The purpose of this study is to verify the anthropomorphic design factors of pedagogical agents that can enhance user experience in learning foreign languages (English) through smartphones. In this study, when designing a pedagogical agent that delivers content, the presence or absence of the agent's image, the degree of human nature (HN), and role setting (leader vs. companion) among the anthropomorphic factors that influence facilitating learning, credibility, and engagement perception. As a result of the experiment, HN alone did not show a facilitating learning effect, and images and roles improved not only the facilitating learning effect but also other user experience factors. When HN factors were designed in combination with image and role factors, they were effective in overall user experience effects such as facilitating learning, credibility, and engagement.

A three factor experiment was conducted to explore the effects of giving prompts and asking for self explanation and the modulating effect of the need for cognition (NC) on the two interventions. The effects of giving prompts and asking for self explanation were different depending on the task and the level of need for cognition. Participants of low NC conditions showed the prompt effect and the self explanation effect in the memory tests. On the other hand, participants in the high NC conditions performed better in the comprehension test when they were given prompts and were asked to self explain. However, high NC participants performed worse when they were asked to self explain without providing the prompts. The results were interpreted to suggest the importance of detecting the right parts in getting the self explanation effect.

학습자의 감성 상태가 충분히 반영되는 오프라인 수업과 달리 지금까지 대부분의 e-러닝은 학습자의 감성 정보를 수업에 효과적으로 반영하지 못했다. 이러한 한계점은 e-러닝의 학습 효과성을 저해하는 문제 중 하나로 지적되었다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 학습자의 뇌파를 통해 감성을 인식하고 감성 상태에 따라 적절한 학습 콘텐츠 타입을 추천하여 학습 효과를 증대 시킬 수 있는 방법론이 주목을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기 수집된 학습자들의 감성(뇌파) 데이터를 분석하여 콘텐츠 타입 선호도를 파악한 후 프로파일 데이터를 활용하여 상관계수 기반 NN-Recommendation 학습 콘텐츠 타입 추천 시스템을 제안 하고자 한다. 이 시스템은 일반적인 추천시스템에서 발생하는 Cold-start 문제를 해결할 수 있으며 특히 본 연구에서는 보다나은 추천 정확도를 위해 프로파일 각 속성에 자동적으로 가중치를 부여하는 기법을 제시하여 향상된 성능을 보이게 됨을 실험을 통해 확인 하였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of student-generated questions (SGQs) partially applied in a pathology course on learning motivation, communication abilities, and problem-solving skills in nursing students. A one-group pretest-posttest design was employed to conduct this study with 106 nursing students taking the pathology course in a university-setting. Data were analyzed using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test in SPSS version 20. The results showed that communication and problem-solving skills were significantly improved at the end of the semester compared to the beginning. The findings imply that SGQs could be an effective means to improve nursing students' skills of communication and problem solving. To equip nursing students with such core competencies, teaching-learning methods combined various strategies should be developed and applied to nursing education.
