University education emphasizes the development of convergent as well as computational thinking, many universities provide software education to improve their problem-solving ability. In this study, we use Python programming based on problem-solving learning, and analyze the correlation between problem-solving learning satisfaction and academic achievement. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 143 students, we tried to analyze the relationship of problem-solving learning with actual academic performance using correlation and multiple regression analysis. The results indicate a relationship between satisfaction and academic achievement, and that it affects students' academic achievement. The ability to identify various problem situations and solve problems using computational thinking will become increasingly important, it is desirable that the universities provide software education based on problem-solving learning.

This study examined the relationship of academic achievement, learning motivation and self-directed learning ability and cognitive presence of nursing students in online class. Data were collected through self reported structured questionnaire in 202 nursing students from October 19 to 30, 2020. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 21.0. As a result this study, academic achievement was positively correlated with learning motivation(r=.45, p<.001), self-directed learning ability(r=.50, p<.001) and cognitive presence(r=.64, p<.001). As a result regression analysis, subjective academic grades, self-directed learning ability and cognitive presence explained 57.0% of the academic achievement in nursing students(F=91.00, p<.001). Therefore, it is necessary to develop various interventions to enhance the self-directed learning ability and to design the classes that increase the cognitive presence.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of health assessment classes applied with flip learning on self-directed learning ability, critical thinking disposition, and academic self-efficacy of nursing students. This is a comparative study before and after a single group, targeting sophomore students taking a health assessment by applying flip learning at a nursing college in K city, Gyeongsangbuk-do. The final analysis consisted of 104 subjects, and the pre-post difference was analyzed by a paired sample test. As a result, self-directed learning ability (t=-3.23, p<.01), critical thinking disposition (t=6.381, p<.001), and academic self-efficacy (t=-4.62, p<.001) were all statistically significantly increased. Based on the results of this study, it was confirmed that the flip-learning method is an effective program to enhance the self-directed learning ability, critical thinking ability, and academic self-efficacy of nursing students. In the long run, the application of the flipped learning learner will play a role in improving the educational environment and strengthening the abilities of students.

Grit, defined as "perseverance and passion for long-term goals", is a known personality trait that successfully predicts high performance in various fields. In spite of extant evidence of the effectiveness of grit, research has not yet clarified the relationship between grit and conscientiousness, a highly correlated personality trait. In this study(N = 355), we examined the effect of grit and conscientiousness on academic achievement, mediated by self-determination motivation. As a result, grit and conscientiousness both predicted academic performance, and intrinsic motivation mediated these relationships. However, conscientiousness no longer related with motivation and academic achievement when grit was controlled for, whereas grit maintained its relationship with motivation and achievement even when conscientiousness was controlled. This result indicates that although the two psychological concepts overlap to some extent, grit has a unique motivational and behavioral effect that distinguishes it from conscientiousness. The present study expands the current understanding of grit with its comparison between grit and conscientiousness. We suggest future research ought refine the grit scale to establish its discriminant validity.

The purpose of this study attempted to investigate academic achievement and cooperative ability as problem-based learning to strengthen communication in Spanish courses. 70 learners taking Spanish at A University from September to December, 2021 were divided into an experimental and a control class to examine their academic achievement and cooperate ability. Academic achievement was not statistically significant, but the sub-area of communication was significant as 0.031 (*p<.05) and the cooperative ability of the experimental group, the average was increased, but it was not statistically significant. Based on this study, continuous follow-up research to develop teaching methods and teaching and learning models suitable for strengthening Spanish communication through various learner-centered convergence teaching methods will contribute to fostering talent desired by the 21st century.
