This study was to analyze the learning effectiveness of multi-media based class by comparing with traditional classroom method. The "Distribution Working Subject" course that is one of the required courses of Vocational high school was selected and its contents were digitalized on MS Powerpoint for multi-media based class. The thirty students were sampled for each experimental and control groups. The homogeneity and learning achievement of sample groups were tested for experiment. Same teacher took the classes of two groups and delivered same contents of course. Only difference between two groups was the delivery method, one is traditional classroom teaching method and the other was the multi-media based class. The learning achievements and satisfaction of sample were post-tested in order to analyze the learning effectiveness by comparing two teaching methods. The results showed that there was a significant difference between experimental and control group in learning achievement after ANCOVA controlled pre-test as covariance(F=5.08, p<.05). It means that the learning achievement of multi-media based class was higher than that of traditional classroom group. The results also showed that a significant difference in students' satisfaction between two groups (t=5.57, p<.001). This study concluded that using multi-media in class could produce more learning achievements and satisfaction of students than traditional classroom method.

This study aimed to provide basic data required for operation and development of a program that is necessary for linkage with the major as well as proper settlement of community service of the university by identifying university students' major satisfaction and academic achievement level in relation with the characteristics of community service. A survey was conducted in 401 university students who voluntarily participated in this study using the online survey panel targeting university students who reside in Busan and South Gyeongsang Province from December 1, 2014 to February 1, 2015. The results are as follows. Students who had a community service experience and had higher participation in community service showed higher major satisfaction and academic achievement. Particularly, when community service was related to the major, major satisfaction was higher. In addition, the higher the satisfaction with community service was and the higher the need of community service was, the higher the major satisfaction was. Students with health major showed higher major satisfaction than students with non-health major. Therefore, development of an effective program will be necessary to increase the need and participation of community service and revitalize community service more continuously.

This study aims to evaluate the effect on the academic achievement and satisfaction of the learner's prior knowledge level and segmenting time of video lectures in an learning environment using smartphones. Depending on the level of prior knowledge, learners were divided into two groups of the upper 35% and the lower 35%. Each group was offered video lectures by a 5-min, 10-min, 15-min, and 20-min length. As a result, a high level of prior knowledge only had a positive effect on the academic achievement. With respect to the segmentation time of video lectures, 10-min, 15-min lectures were effective to the academic achievement and 15-min, 20-min lectures influenced positively the learners' satisfaction. Moreover, the interaction between the level of learners' prior knowledge and the segmentation time of video lectures only had an impact on their academic achievement. The results of the simple effect analysis conducted to examine the effect of interaction carefully show that 15-min, 20-min video lectures are more effective for the upper 35% in prior knowledge and 10-min ones are better for its' lower 35%. In a nutshell, these findings suggest that the high-prior knowledge groups could be provided with a longer video lectures, and furthermore, 5-min video lectures are not adequate in a mobile learning environment with smartphones.

Recently, there is a growing interest in learning to use games as a teaching method for digital native learners. In this study, we conducted a path analysis between bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, linguistic intelligence, flow, learning outcomes(academic achievement, persistence intention) in motion-capture game-based learning(the used game developed for elementary school history class). As a result, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence directly influenced flow and indirectly influenced learning outcomes. Linguistic intelligence did not have direct influence on flow and indirect effects on learning outcomes. Through this result, we expected that the motion-capture game-based learning facilitate learning motivation and performance of learners for higher bodily-kinesthetic intelligence.

This study was executed to be used as the basic data for the improvement of Korean Chinese undergraduates' English proficiency. Descriptive statistics and t-tests were used for data analysis on the differences between Korean Chinese and Han Chinese students' preparedness and learning outcomes of 203 undergraduates at a four-year college in China. Results showed that Korean Chinese students were significantly less prepared and had weaker learning outcomes than Han Chinese students. Analysis on the factors that affected learning outcomes showed significant differences in oral English skills, attitudes toward curriculum, beliefs in their own fluency, and learning strategies. On the other hand, no group difference was shown in learning interests. Based on these findings, implications for the improvement of Korean Chinese undergraduates' preparedness and learning outcomes in EFL class were described.

This study causally investigates whether high school student with high science learning motivation becomes to achieve more or vice versa, and also how those two factors affect STEM career motivation. Research participants were 1st year students in a high school at Seoul. We surveyed their science learning motivation three times in the same time interval in the fall semester of 2021, and once a STEM career motivation in the third period. We collected data from 171 students with their mid-term and final exam scores, with which, we constructed and fitted an autoregressive cross-lagged model. The research model shows high measurement stability and fit indices. All the autoregressive and cross-lagged paths were statistically significant. However, standardized regression coefficients were larger in path from motivation to achievement compared to the opposite. Only science learning motivation shows significant direct effect on STEM career motivation, rather than achievement. For indirect effects, the first science learning motivation affected the final exam score and STEM career motivation, and the final exam score affected STEM career motivation. However, the final exam score did not have a total effect toward STEM career motivation. The result of this study shows reciprocal and cyclic causality between science learning motivation and achievement - in comparison, the effect of motivation for the opposite is larger than that of achievement. Also the result of this study strongly reaffirms the importance of science learning motivation. Instructional implications for strengthening science learning motivation throughout a semester was discussed, and a study for the longitudinal effect of science learning motivation and achievement in high school student toward future STEM vocational life was suggested.
