  • A method to increase the effectiveness of flight training at a low cost by applying the correct flight training method to students without flight experience is a very important factor. BATD equipped with an extended display device enables the proper cross-check of external references and internal instruments by integrated flight instruction methods, enabling effective flight training in the initial stages. In addition, BATD employs the Cessna 172 model with Glass Cockpit to help make it easy to apply to actual flights. As a result of analyzing the effect of flight training through a survey of students who completed the BATD practice lecture, it was very helpful to understand the theories related to flight that they had already learned, and they responded that they could easily adapt to all flight subjects in additional FTD practice lectures. Therefore, a well-planned BATD practice lecture will be easy to adapt to real flight training, which will have significant effects in reducing time and cost.

  • The purpose of this study is to review empirical research on Form-focused instruction (FFI) in Korean language education from a critical perspective to better understand the effectiveness of FFI. To achieve this goal, several databases were searched to locate relevant experimental and quasi experimental studies published in peer-reviewed journals. Out of 66 studies collected, 12 studies met the inclusion criteria. The studies were then analyzed in terms of subjects, target grammar, treatment, measurement, and the learning outcomes of different techniques. In general, several types of FFI techniques had positive effects on helping learners acquire Korean as a second or foreign language. The results of the study will provide a conceptual framework which identifies the major factors affecting the effectiveness of FFI. The results will also be able to inform future meta-analytical research of existing studies.

  • The purpose of this study was three-folded to suggest the Simplifying Conditions Method (SCM) as a means of task analysis and sequencing of instructional content, to develop teaching-learning materials by analyzing part of the geological time scale of the earth science and finally to analyze the effectiveness of this method. SCM began by simplifying a complex task into the basic components by eliminating various complexities, which produced a simple representative of the entire task. The next step was to relax conditions on the basic version one by one, thereby gradually introducing progressively more complex tasks to the students. This sequential strategy enabled students to understand the task holistically and to acquire authentic skills from very onset of the course. Moreover, Early mastery of skills enhances the effectiveness and efficiency of instruction. The result of this study revealed that instruction through SCM was more effective in developing students' self-directed learning characteristics and academic achievement than instruction through sequential task analysis methodology.
