Purpose: This study was conducted to explore how clinical practice stress and moral sensitivity affect the clinical competency of nursing students. Methods: Participants had completed at least a one year (2 semesters) clinical nursing practicum through K University in D Metropolitan City. A total of 188 nursing students were recruited: third grade (n=104) and fourth grade (n=84). The questionnaires were adopted with clinical practice stress, Korean version of moral sensitivity questionnaire (K-MSQ), and the clinical competency. Results: Clinical competency was positively correlated with patient-oriented care (r=.27, p<.001) and the professional responsibility (r=.32, p<.001) of the moral sensitivity (r=.27, p<.001). The attitude of medical personnel experiencing clinical practice stress shows a significant positive relationship with clinical competency (r=.15, p=.038). The attitude of medical personnel (β=.09, p=.194) experiencing clinical practice stress, patient-oriented care (β=.16, p=.041) and professional responsibility (β=.23, p=.003) of the moral sensitivity explained 12% of the variance in clinical competency (F=9.17, p<.001). Therefore, the influential factors on clinical competency were two sub-factors of moral sensitivity. Conclusion: Moral educational programs should be considered to develop a nursing students' clinical competency.

Mathematically deductive reasoning skill is one of the major learning objectives stated in senior secondary curriculum (CDC & HKEAA, 2007, page 15). Ironically, student performance during routine assessments on geometric reasoning, such as proving geometric propositions and justifying geometric properties, is far below teacher expectations. One might argue that this is caused by teachers' lack of relevant subject content knowledge. However, recent research findings have revealed that teachers' knowledge of teaching (e.g., Ball et al., 2009) and their deductive reasoning skills also play a crucial role in student learning. Prior to a comprehensive investigation on teacher competency, we use a case study to investigate teachers' knowledge competency on how to teach their students to mathematically argue that, for example, two triangles are congruent. Deductive reasoning skill is essential to geometry. The initial findings indicate that both subject and pedagogical content knowledge are essential for effectively teaching this challenging topic. We conclude our study by suggesting a method that teachers can use to further improve their teaching effectiveness.

Purpose: The study examines changes in students' self-assessment of their general communication (GC) and medical communication (MC) competencies, as well as perceptions of MC concepts. Methods: Participants included 108 second year medical students enrolled at a Korean medical school studying an MC curriculum. It was divided into three sections, and participants responded to questionnaires before and after completing each section. To assess perceived GC and MC competency, items based on a 7-point Likert scale were employed; a single open-ended item was used to examine students' perceptions of MC. Statistical analysis was conducted to gauge GC and MC competency, whereas semantic network analysis was used to investigate students' perceptions of MC. Results: Students perceived their GC competency to be higher than MC. Perceived MC competency differed significantly across the three sections, whereas no differences were found for GC. There were no statistically significant differences after completing the curriculum's second and third sections; however, the vocabulary students used to describe MC concepts became more scholarly and professional. In the semantic networks, the link structure between MC-related words decreased in linearity and looseness, becoming more complex and clustered. The words 'information' and 'transfer' proved integral to students' perceptions; likewise, 'empathy' and 'communication' became closely connected in a single community from two independent communities. Conclusion: This study differed from prior research by conducting an in-depth analysis of changes in students' perceptions of MC, and its findings can be used to guide curriculum development.

지식 정보화 사회에서 가장 중요한 역량 중의 하나는 지식정보처리 역량일 것이다. 지식정보처리역량은 2015 개정 교육과정의 핵심역량이기도 하면서 과학 교과와 매우 관련이 깊다. 역량교육의 필요성에 대해서는 많은 사람들이 공감하지만 수업 내에서의 실천은 교사의 의지에 달려있다. 따라서 지식정보처리역량에 대한 과학교사들의 인식과 수업실태를 조사하였다. 조사 방법은 서울의 중학교 교사 32명과 고등학교 교사 32명의 객관식 및 주관식 설문과 지식정보처리역량과 관련된 수업을 진행하는 교사 3인의 면담 결과를 분석하였다. 연구 결과 지식정보처리역량에 대해서 모든 교사가 그 중요성을 공감하였으며 정보화 사회라는 시대적 흐름과 과학적 역량 함양이라는 교과 목표와 연관지어 인식하고 있었다. 그러나 수업에서 실천하는 경우는 많지 않았는데, 이는 설문 결과는 수업 시간의 부족으로, 면담 결과에서는 교사의 PCK 부족을 꼽았다. 지식정보처리역량 관련 연수 경험은 절반 정도였으나 대부분 정보활용 교육에 관련된 것으로 수집과 분석 부분에 대한 연수가 필요함을 의미한다. 지식정보처리역량의 요소별 중요도는 정보수집, 분석, 활용 모두 매우 높았으며 그 중 정보분석이 가장 높았다. 대부분은 중학교 교사의 중요도 인식이 더 컸으나 그 차이가 유의하지 않았다. 정보수집 요소에서 정보원의 중요성에 대해서는 고등학교 교사의 인식이 유의 수준에서 더 높았다. 지식정보처리역량의 함양을 위해서는 과학 교과 수업시간에 정보처리역량을 강조할 수 있도록 과학 탐구의 의미를 확대하고 타교과와의 연계 방안도 고려할 수 있다. 또한 지식정보처리역량 함양이 교과 교육내에서 자연스럽게 이루어지기 위해서 제도적 뒷받침과 역량의 특성을 고려한 교수학습방법 개발이 필요할 것이다.
