The purpose of this study is to verify whether there is a difference in boredom between education types (offline vs. online) in the mandatory education scene, and to explore the moderator effect of meaning making activities in the relationship between education types and boredom. In this study, 197 college students were divided into offline and online groups and they participated in mandatory education. The meaning making activity was operationalized based on the meaning discovery scale. As a result of the study, the state boredom after mandatory education was significantly higher in the online group than in the offline group. However, meaning making activities did not moderate the relationship between education type and the state boredom. Through further analysis, it was found that boredom in both groups significantly decreased after the meaning making activity.

21세기 들어 온라인 테크놀로지의 활성화로 온라인 강좌와 웹기반 커뮤니케이션의 사용이 고등교육 분야에서 증가되어 왔다. 시간과 장소에 구애받지 않는 온라인 교육의 특성은 대학 캠퍼스를 국내외로 확대하고 대학교육의 수혜자도 일반인과 타대학 학생으로 확대할 수 있는 가능성을 열어주었다. 또한 학령인구의 감소, 대학 구조의 재편과 같은 변화도 온라인 교육에 대한 인식을 바꾸는 계기가 되었다. 본 논문에서는 K대학교 재학생, 고등학교 3학년 학생, 일반인을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 온라인 강좌에 대한 만족도, 대형 온라인 강좌를 필요로 하는 영역, 현재 개설된 대형 온라인 강좌의 운영에 대한 학생들의 니즈 등에 대하여 살펴보았다. K대학교 재학생의 온라인 강좌에 대한 만족도는 높게 나타나고 있다. 다만, 각각의 온라인 강좌에 대한 만족도는 높으나 온라인 강좌의 체계 통일성을 높여야 함과 온라인 강좌를 원활하게 수강할 수 있는 환경 개선이 필요함을 알 수 있다. 고등학생의 경우 자연과학에 대한 선호도에서 일반인과 재학생에 비해 상당히 높게 나오고 있는데 수학, 물리와 같은 과목을 선수과목으로 하고 온라인 강좌로 만들어서 전공 수업에 대비하게 해야 할 필요성이 있다고 생각된다. 일반인의 경우 인문학 분야에 대한 선호도가 고등학생과 재학생에 비해 상당히 높게 나타나고 있는데 이는 교양함양이라는 강의 목적을 통해서도 확인할 수 있다.

Online shopping has been undergoing significant developments in the South Asian region in the last decade. Using a representative sample of Sri Lankan consumers, this study explored online food purchasing behavior in Sri Lanka, a developing nation and island in South Asia. Data were collected from 562 respondents from all nine provinces in Sri Lanka using an online survey. Consumer attitudes were evaluated using factor analysis, and factor scores were added as explanatory variables to the final model. An ordered logistic regression model was used to examine the impact of consumer demographics, economic variables, and consumer attitudes on online food purchases. Online food purchasing intensity was categorized into four groups that suited ordinal rankings: zero for never, low for rarely, medium for occasionally, and high for regularly. Results indicated that age, income, education, and living in urban areas affect the online food purchasing behavior of Sri Lankan consumers. In addition, trust, convenience, and attitudes toward price were powerful drivers of online food purchasing. The findings have a number of significant managerial ramifications for creating strategies to promote online food purchases in developing South Asian nations like Sri Lanka. Moreover, promoting online shopping could be a potential solution for traffic congestion, ultimately helping to mitigate the negative externalities associated with it, such as carbon emissions and air pollution.

The purpose of this study was to examine changes in students' awareness of online classes in university education over the three years from 2020 to 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve this, various aspects of online classes, including self-directed learning, interaction (between instructors and learners, and among learners), evaluation of the learning process and outcomes, and the learning environment and control of learning, were analyzed for changes from 2020 to 2022. The study included 534 university students enrolled in University A who participated in online classes in both 2020 and 2021. The results indicated that there was no significant difference in the awareness of self-directed learning, but significant differences were found in the awareness of interaction, evaluation of the learning process and outcomes, and the challenge related to learning environment and control of learning in online classes, which were higher in 2021 and 2022 than in 2020. Additionally, detailed changes in awareness of online classes showed significant differences in specific aspects of awareness in university online classes. In summary, students' awareness of online classes improved in 2021 and 2022 compared to 2020, as learners adapted to online classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, it was observed that difficulties in the challenge related to learning environment and control of learning were overcome in 2021. Based on these research findings, several implications for improving the design and operating strategies of effective online classes in future university education were proposed.

The purpose of this study was to identify learners' perception of teaching activities in online classes that were forcibly switched due to COVID-19, and to compare and analyze differences in importance and performance of online teaching activities according to the level of self-directed learning in university students. To address these goals, 31 university students who took courses operated as online classes at university participated in this study, and the collected data were analyzed according to IPA procedures and methods. As a result, for online teaching activities, class attendance check and encouragement, clarity of class objectives, the ability to deliver the content of learning, and the ability of the instructor to deliver lectures were identified as factors to be constantly emphasized. Depending on the level of self-directed learning, there were significant differences between importance and performance in high level learners' interaction strategy with instructor, interaction strategy with learner, and timely provision of instructor's feedback. On the other hand, there was no significant difference between the importance and performance of online teaching activities for learners with a low level of self-directed learning. Based on these research results, several implications for the design of effective online teaching activities in future university education were proposed.

The aim of the current study was to suggest priorities needed to be considered by university instructors when designing online learning. Based on three types of interactions (learner-content, learner-instructor, and learner-learner interactions) for effective online learning (Moore, 1989), draft questionnaires representing each type of interaction were written. After examining content validity by two Ph.D. experts, the survey was constructed with an Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) form. Data of 133 university instructors were collected online. Results showed that support for designing learner-learner interaction was the priority for improving online learning. In terms of learner-instructor interaction, instructors needed to provide social-emotional support to learners so that learners could have a sense of belonging. For learner-instructor interaction, supporting instructors to monitor the level of understanding was the most highly demanding strategy for online learning. Limitations and suggestions for further studies were discussed.

This study aimed to explore online learning profiles of in-service teachers in South Korea, focusing on video lecture and discussion activities. A total of 269 teachers took an online professional development course for 14 days, using an online learning platform from which web log data were collected. The data showed the frequency of participation and the initial participation time, which was closely related to procrastinating behaviors. A cluster analysis revealed three online learning profiles of in-service teachers: procrastinating (n=42), passive interaction (n=136), and active learning (n=91) clusters. The active learning cluster showed high-level participation in both video lecture and discussion activities from the beginning of the online course, whereas the procrastinating cluster was seldom engaged in learning activities for the first half of the learning period. The passive interaction cluster was actively engaged in watching video lectures from the beginning of the online course but passively participated in discussion activities. As a result, the active learning cluster outperformed the passive interaction cluster in learning achievements. The findings were discussed in regard to how to improve online learning environments through considering online learning profiles of in-service teachers.
