This study was intended to investigate predictability among variables having an effect on problem solving skill and achievement in collaborative learning by utilizing SNS at university. To this end, 61 first-year students majoring in early childhood education at I community university in the national capital region were surveyed. And on the basis of the collected data, a multiple regression analysis was carried out. The results of carrying out the analysis are as follows. First, it was shown that self-efficacy, peer learning and help seeking had a significant effect on problem solving skill, and explained 70 of variability in problem solving skill. Second, it was shown that peek learning, help seeking and problem solving skill significantly predicted achievement, and explained 72% of the variability in achievement. Third, problem solving skill partially mediated the relationship between self-efficacy and achievement. The above-mentioned results imply that learning motivation should be increased so that learners have self-efficacy in order to improve college students' academic achievement in collaborative learning by utilizing SNS at university, and a class environment making it possible to actively provide peer learning and help seeking should be designed and a specific scheme enabling the enhancement of the problem solving skill should be considered.

This study was conducted to explore the effect of the type of dashboard on online group discussion activities based on learning analysis. The experimental research was conducted among 51 learners from a university by dividing them into 2 groups. Group A provided participation and interaction dashboard, and group B provided the discussion topics and message type dashboard. First, pre-tests were conducted on attitudes toward computer writing and the level of motivation that could affect online discussion activities. Then the students participated three different topics of online group discussions. The participation and interaction data were automatically collected through the dashboard, and learning outcome data were collected through post-tests. The results showed level of participation in Group B (M=47.56, SD=2.37) that provided discussion topics and message type dashboard was significantly higher than the level of participation in Group A (M=38.13, SD=2.21) that provided participation and interaction dashboard. On the other hand, there were no differences in the level of interaction and learning outcomes. In future studies, we suggest that the dashboard effects based on the learners' characteristics should be carried out because the learners' characteristics may affect the use of the dashboard.

Recently, Korean medium-sized medical organizations require innovative strategies. Network-driven concerns in Korean medical organization have been a front burner issue to enhance economic and managerial efficiencies. Effective network-driven collaboration depends upon effective processes and economics strategies among medical providers group. From this motivation, we studied and provided the systems' theoretical background and networked hospital system structures. The aim of suggested research model in this paper is to overcome demerit of stand-alone medium-sized hospitals and analyze a system dynamics model to measure managerial performances. The developed system dynamics model is to quantify the effects of network strategy based on the historical financial data of real-life hospitals network experiences. The network effects are resulted in efficiencies and effectiveness enhancements in competitiveness through advertisement and effective education system. The simulations of system dynamics results can explain the improvement in financial outcome by joining in the network group. The network effects are shown more effective in dental hospital than other groups. In conclusion, it is expected that network effects have a critical influence of managerial, marketing, and medical collaboration performance for any type of medical hospitals.

Career and academic Counseling is often viewed as the catalyst for frequent and consistent interaction with students, but it is more than simply advising students about which majors, universities or jobs to consider. Ongoing, personal contact of career and academic counselors with students is an essential component in long-term career-related efficacy. But statistics show that high schools in non-urban or rural areas face significant issues different from those schools in metropolitan or suburban contexts, failing to maintain the significant number of teachers enough for effective career and academic counseling. This article proposes an alternative model of career and academic counseling, provided by MBA(Master of Business Administration) alumni based social enterprise in Seoul. This service explores the skills, knowledge and capabilities which MBA alumni gained from their jobs and MBA programs within the context of a career-competency framework. This paper concludes with the social and educational aspect of this shared responsibility strategy that may enhance student motivation and persistence in non-urban high schools.

SNS has been advanced from first to third generation by changing its service format in various ways. Nowadays, image-based SNS such as instagram and pinterest where users communicate via images has become popular as third generation service. Due to the fact that users communicate especially through images, image-based SNS utilizes images in different ways compared to other SNS. This study derived various characteristics of images in image-based SNS, and observed how users perceive each of them differently. Also, relationship between the characteristics and user satisfaction on image-based SNS is analyzed. The characteristics include 6 items; 'implicity', 'recordability', 'expressing identity', 'indirect experience', 'temporary amusement', and 'stimulating desire.' As a result of comparing user perception regarding those 6 characteristics, recordability and indirect experience were highly recognized than other characteristics. Also, according to users' age, motivation of using image-based SNS, and number of followers they have, users perceived each characteristic in different level. Finally, relationship between the characteristics and user satisfaction was analyzed, and the result showed that indirect experience had positive influence to user satisfaction. Regarding indirect experience, it was highly perceived by users and also had positive influence to their satisfaction, which means it is the most typical characteristic of image-based SNS.

This cross-sectional correlational study investigated factors affecting career planning of nursing students, focusing on the associations between satisfaction of academic major, perceived professional competence, and job expectations. Data from 255 nursing students were collected through self-administered questionnaire surveys on 2016 January 4 and 7 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients, t-tests, bootstrapping SPSS macro and path analysis using AMOS. There were significant correlations between major satisfaction, professional competence, and job expectations. Both major satisfaction and professional competence were significant factors influencing job expectations, but their effects on job expectations were significantly different depending on whether there was a role-model, which support a moderating effect of having a role-model. Major satisfaction had a significant direct effect on career planning, but its indirect effect on career planning through job expectations was not significant. Professional competence did not have a significant direct effect on career planning, but its indirect effect on career planning through job expectations was significant. Overall, the results highlight the importance of providing educational support and opportunities for nursing students to explore their own motivation and to have a role-model during pursuit of a nursing career.
