  • Purpose: This study aimed to clarify the factors related to mothers' decisions to provide disease explanations to their children, investigate the associations between those factors and social adaptive skills, and examine support relative to children's growth and development. Methods: Data were collected from anonymous, self-administered questionnaires answered by 71 mothers of outpatient school-aged children with congenital heart disease. The questionnaire items included characteristics of mothers and children, decision factors for providing disease explanations, and children's social adaptive skills (Asahide-Shiki social adaptive skills test). Factor analysis was performed on the decision factors, and multiple regression analysis was performed to examine the association between the identified factors and each social adaptive skill. Results: The decision factors for providing disease explanations were the mother's explanation ability, the receptive capability of the child, and the child's interest and literacy regarding the explanation. Multiple regression analysis showed that language and social life skills were significantly associated with the child's receptive capability, and language and daily life skills were significantly associated with the child's interest and literacy regarding the explanation. Conclusion: Improving children's language, social life, and daily life skills may enhance their receptive capability and literacy regarding explanations of their disease.

  • The shift to the digital media era is increasing the importance of the ability to accept, produce and share news through digital media(news literacy), but there is a lack of diagnosis of the level of news literacy among Korean adults and discussions on how to improve news literacy. This study analyzed the news literacy level of Korean adults according to background variables (urbanization degree, gender, age, academic background) and examined the relationship between the amount of news literacy-related practices and the level of news literacy. The results showed that the overall level of news literacy among adults in Korea was not high and that differences between groups were also statistically significant. The significant relevance between the amount of news literacy-related practices and the level of news literacy has also been identified. Based on the findings, it was suggested that the need for policy support to improve news literacy among Korean adults, the need to prioritize the resources of news literacy education according to background variables of adult learners, and the need to continuously monitor news literacy levels of Korean adults.

  • The development of AI technology has brought about a big change in our lives. The importance of AI and data education is also growing as AI's influence from life to society to the economy grows. In response, the OECD Education Research Report and various domestic information and curriculum studies deal with data literacy and present it as an essential competency. However, the definition of data literacy and the content and scope of the components vary among researchers. Thus, we analyze the semantic similarity of words through Word2Vec deep learning natural language processing methods along with the definitions of key data literacy studies and analysis of word frequency utilized in components, to present objective and comprehensive definition and components. It was revised and supplemented by expert review, and we defined data literacy as the 'basic ability of knowledge construction and communication to collect, analyze, and use data and process it as information for problem solving'. Furthermore we propose the components of each category of knowledge, skills, values and attitudes. We hope that the definition and components of data literacy derived from this study will serve as a good foundation for the systematization and education research of AI education related to students' future competency.

  • To determine the educational effects of collaborative story creation activities using the Entry programming language, we instructed first year students at the national university of education on these activities for three weeks and analyzed the changes in their software (SW) education capacity and story creating ability. The completed analysis showed no significant changes in the students' SW education capacity as related to information literacy, computational thinking, and learner competency; however, the students' ability to create stories increased significantly. Although students struggled to learn story creation using Entry, they gradually found that the activities were useful and their interest in creating stories grew. Therefore, we suggest expanding the number of subject curriculum activities using Entry in order to improve SW education capacity as well as the subject capacity for student teachers.

  • Previous studies on educational programming language reported that programming education can help students develop their abilities in cognitive, logical and reflecting thinking for problem solving. In this study, we examined the effects of Scratch programming language education on self-directed learning ability through six-grade elementary school students. The study results are that the treatment group shows more improvement with statistical significance on the subscales of self-directed learning such as openness, internal motivation, and autonomy, than the control group. These effects are especially larger with the students with high ICT literacy, whose degree is higher than that as a result of using digital textbook, UCC, and cyber home education reported in previous studies.
