The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of online problem-based learning (PBL) on learners' 4C competencies and learning experience. The results of the study showed that, first, online PBL had a statistically significant effect on learners' problem-solving skills, communication skills, and pre-service teacher efficacy. Second, learners were very satisfied with the online PBL experience and perceived it to be very beneficial to their learning and to themselves as preservice teachers. Third, learners perceived that the real-time video conferencing system and instant messenger were very helpful for successful online PBL. Fourth, regarding the important factors for successful online PBL, the participants in this study perceived that communication and sincerity are very important, and the role of the leader is also important, but personal intimacy among team members is relatively less important. Fifth, learners perceive that instructor feedback is very important for successful online PBL. Finally, the implications of this study are discussed along with suggestions for future research.

This study aimed to analyze the AI and Digital education needs of students at 'C University of Education' for the development of a 'AI and Digital Education' course. To achieve this objective, Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) was conducted with 79 fourth-year students from 'C University of Education,' focusing on 18 AI and digital education competencies. The paired sample t-test revealed significant differences between the importance and performance scores for all 18 competencies. Using the Borich needs assessment model, the results indicated that the 'Data Utilization Feedback Competency' had the highest demand. Additionally, applying The Locus for Focus model to prioritize needs, nine competencies were identified as having very high priority, including 'Data Utilization Feedback Competency,' 'Understanding Basic Knowledge Related to AI and Digital ,' and 'Practical Learning Design Based on AI and Digital.' The needs assessment results identified in this study should be actively reflected as foundational data for the development of the 'AI and Digital Education' course.

This study was conducted to identify the preservice teacher's health perception and health promoting behavior, and attitudes towards children with asthma, as well as to examine the relationship between these variables and the influencing factors. The participants were 329 third and fourth grade students from the national university of education in G city. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, and multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 23.0. The score for the participants' health perception was 2.85 out of a possible 4, health promoting behavior about 2.49 out of a possible 4, and their score for attitude towards asthma was 3.67 points of a possible 5. The health perception and health promoting behavior showed a positive correlation with the attitudes about child with asthma. Interpersonal relations and health perception and grade had a significant influence on the attitudes about child with asthma. These variables accounted for 12.2% of the attitudes about child with asthma. The results highlight the need for intervention strategies to enhance the health promoting behavior and health perception.

This study aims to explore patterns and characteristics of coordination between evidence and theories which were found in pre-service elementary teachers' writing for their science inquiry. Five science inquiry activities and a total of 115 writings of the participant teacher at the elementary teacher preparation university in Korea were collected and analyzed for this study. Based on the writing analyses there were found four types of coordination between the evidence and theory. We proposed four types as: Type 1-Consistency of evidence and theory; Type 2-Consistence of evidence and theory including more extension or elaboration of theory; Type 3-Inconsistence of evidence and theory Type 4-Inconsistence of evidence and theory followed by coordination of them. Firstly the findings indicated that the most to least frequent types were Type 1, Type 3, Type 2, and Type 4. The most frequent type was Type 1. It is interpreted that theory in the inquiry questions were frequently figured out by participants and they selected supporting evidence out of data found. There were rarely found relations between activity topics and frequencies of coordination types except in activity 1. The findings in this study will connect to the point of how students collaborate their previously owned knowledge with experiment planning, data analysis and interpretation and making of their own scientific claims.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity, reliability and practicality of a concept map as an assessment tool in the context of biology concept learning. Forty undergraduate students participated in concept mapping, and the maps were scored by preservice science teachers, using one of three different scoring methods, that is, concept map scoring methods developed by Burry-Stock, Novak & Gowin and McClure & Bell. Two scorers were assigned to each scoring method. As far as the validity of the assessment methods was concerned, two of the three methods were found to be very valid, while Burry-Stock's scoring method was shown little valid. As far as the internal consistency of the methods was concerned, considerably high consistencies were shown between every pair of scorers, judging from high correlation coefficients between the pair of scorers for each scoring method. It took from 1.13 minutes to 3.70 minutes to assess a map at the average. It showed that concept mapping could be used in school classrooms with the limited resources of time and people. These findings suggest that the concept mapping can be an appropriate tool for assessing biology concept understandings.

Purpose of study: The purpose of this study is to explore the moderating effect of learning motivation in the effect of cognitive presence on cognitive regulation. Research content and method: The subjects of this study were 160 preservice teachers who are enrolled in the Faculty of Education of a university. The survey measured cognitive control, human presence, and learning motivation. Among the collected data, learning motivation was averaged. In addition, a group with low learning motivation and a group with high motivation were distinguished. Next, this study compared the averages of cognitive control by classifying the learning motivation levels. The collected data was analyzed using a multiple regression (Stepwise) method to explore the effect of cognitive presence on cognitive control. First, multiple regression analysis was performed on the entire group. Second, multiple regression analysis was performed by dividing the group with low learning motivation from the group with high motivation. Conclusions and Suggestions: As a result of the analysis, the group with high learning motivation showed a higher level of cognitive control than the group with low motivation. In the group with high learning motivation, only content understanding among the sub-factors of cognitive presence had an effect on cognitive control. In the group with low learning motivation, all factors of cognitive presence were affected.
