This study investigated a relationship among facilitating discourse, students' perceived challenge, and learning outcomes(persistent intention and learning achievement) in an online science gifted education program. Two hundreds and forty-two middle school students participated in the study. A survey questionnaire which was consisted of 6 items of facilitating discourse from teaching presence questionnaire(Shea, Swan, & Pickett, 2005) and 5 items of challenge from Student Perceptions of Classroom Quality(Gentry & Owen, 2004) was administered. First, the findings of this study showed that students' perceived facilitating discourse as a part of teaching presence was positively related to students' perceived challenge in an online course. Second, students' perceived facilitating discourse were positively related to persistent intention, but were negatively related to students' achievement. Third, students' perceived challenge was positively related to persistent intention and achievement. Finally, challenge mediated the relationship between students' perceived facilitating discourse and persistent intention, and the relationship between students' perceived facilitating discourse and students' achievement as well. This results suggested that online program should be designed to increase the levels of facilitating discourse.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the enhancing creative competency and changes in academic challenge for the pre-service teachers. For this purpose, 94 pre-service teachers participated in project learning through the preparation of the convergence instruction and the class demonstration during one semester. The pre and post questionnaire survey was conducted the measurement of creative leader competence and K-NSSE for academic challenge. Analysis of data was performed using the IBM SPSS 18.0 program for the corresponding sample t test. The creative competency included 'higher mental thinking', 'problem solving', 'curiosity', 'sensitivity' 'task commitment', 'the pursuit of social value', and 'co-operations and considerations'. This results was significant(p< .05). Academic challenge, high-order learning domain and learning strategies domain were significant(p< .05). Based on this, in order to generalize the convergence education and convergence lesson, it is necessary to design various convergence lessons and practice study to make a plan and practice it. In addition, the implications for the necessity of correcting and supplementing the effects after repeated convergence lessons were discussed.

학습에 동기부여를 위한 도전들이 있는 상황을 증진시키는데 효과적이고 도움이 되는 정보에는 어떠한 종류들이 있는지 조사되고 있다. 특히 Keller(1998)의 동기유발 요소 중에서도 학습자들의 요구나 흥미, 학습할 내용과의 관련성을 제시하는 것이 학습 동기와 학업성취를 높인다고 밝히고 있다. 그러나 이런 동기유발 요소만으로 학업성취가 높아지는 과정을 모두 설명하기는 부족하다. 웹기반 학습에서는 학습에 대한 의지를 지속시키지 않으면 학습자들이 학습에 대한 인지적 과부하와 방향상실을 경험하게 되어 오히려 학습의 효과가 떨어지게 된다. 이러한 관련성과 학습 의지적 요소에 관한 선행연구들을 바탕으로 웹 기반 학습에서 관련성과 학습 의지 요소 전략의 사용이 학습 동기 및 학업성취에 미치는 영향을 밝히고자 한다.

As the importance of SW education grows, researches are actively being conducted to improve students' thinking skills. We conducted the group III tasks, which are experiencing and challenging in Beaver Challenge 2018, on 55 students of 5th grade in elementary school. Based on the result, we analyzed their average scores and defined whether each test has a correlation with possession of smartphone, computer familiarity, patience, concentration, and academic ability. The result indicated challenging task boosted the average score, the percentage of correct answers, and the percentage of correct answers for each level of difficulty. Moreover, the challenge task scores were higher as they higher computer familiarity, patience and concentration level. However, possession of smartphones and academic ability did not affect the score. Lastly, the scores were affected by different factors in different level of difficulty that patience factor in advanced level, computer familiarity factor in intermediate level, and concentration factor in beginner level. Thus, further researches are necessary to be conducted to expand the scope of the analysis through the diversification of test subject group and expansion of an evaluation area.

The purpose of this paper is to describe and understand the lived experiences of older learners in formal education offered in an online university. Applying qualitative research methods, this paper attempts to explore the interpretation and meanings of their college studying. Ten participants in this study were selected from older students aged over 60 who had studied or were studying in a cyber university and lived in Seoul and its metropolitan area for more readily accessible and available for in-depth interviews. After the final analysis of learning experiences of older adults in an online university, six main themes were identified: self in the past, breaking from the convention, struggling with the new challenges, attaining self-actualization, integrating a new identity, future-oriented self. Finally it appears that learning experiences of the learners enabled the participants to replace their past-oriented sense of self with a more positive, future-oriented version.
