The present study suggests ways to improve the Korean proficiency screening test through an analysis of WIDA tests. A review of WIDA Screener, WIDA MODEL, and W-APT reveals that each of these three tests consists of four or five tests, corresponding to grade-level clusters. In addition, the WIDA screening tests assess both English for social communication and academic English, according to WIDA's five English Language Development (ELD) standards. Thematic folders of the ELD standards have different ranges of item difficulty, and the WIDA screening tests are adaptive tests. Lastly, the writing tests consist of performance-based tasks, and the rubric is holistic. As suggestions for improvement for Korean screening tests of the KSL curriculum, this study proposes (a) to devise items to assess academic Korean, so as to evaluate students' overall proficiency more accurately, (b) to utilize an adaptive method to screen students' proficiency more efficiently, and (c) to revise the writing tasks and rubric of the current KSL screening tests.

오래전부터 NCTM(National Council of Teachers of Mathematics)과 같은 수학교육기관에서 글쓰기는 필수적인 부분으로 언급해 왔다. 그리고 최근 교육부 조사에 따르면 코로나 시대 이후 기초학력 저하의 심각성을 보고하였다. 본 연구는 수학교육에서 수학 쓰기를 재정의하고, 현재 수학교육에서 제시되는 역량 중 과거부터 언급해 온 문제해결, 의사소통, 추론 영역을 중심으로 글쓰기의 역할과 그 중요성을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연구 결과에서 문제해결에서의 글쓰기는 인지적인 부분을 정리함으로써 개념과 방법을 습득할 수 있는 능력을 기를 수 있고, 의사소통에서의 글쓰기는 재인지 과정을 통해 자신감을 가질 수 있으며, 추론에서의 글쓰기는 단계적으로 어떤 부분이 부족한지를 스스로 파악할 수 있다. 특히, AI를 활용하는 미래 사회에서 수업 환경이 달라지는 만큼 쓰기를 통한 진위성 판단이나 올바른 쓰기 문화 정착을 위해 연구가 이루어질 필요가 있다.

Much has already been learned about what goes on in the minds of second language writers as they compose, yet, oddly enough, until recently little in the L2 research literature has addressed writing and mental imagery together. However, images and imaging (visual thinking) play a crucial role in perception (the basis of mental imagery), in turn, affecting language, thinking, and writing. Many theorists of mental imagery also agree that more than just language accounts for how we think and that imagery is at least as crucial as language. All of these demands, to be sure, are compounded for EFL students, which is why I investigate EFL students' writing process, focusing on the use of mental imagery and its relationship to the writing. First I speculate upon some ways that imagery influences EFL students' composing processes and products. Next, I want to explore how and whether the images in a writer's mind can be shaped effectively into a linear piece of written English in one's writing. I studied two university undergraduate EFL students, L and J. They had fairly advanced levels of English proficiency and exhibited high level of writing ability, as measured by TOEFL iBT Test. Each student wrote two comparison and contrast essays: one written under specified time limitations and the other written without the pressure of time. In order to investigate whether the amount of time in itself causes differences within an individual in imagery ability, the students were placed under strict time constraints for Topic 1. But for Topic 2, they were encouraged to take as much time as necessary to complete this essay. Immediately after completing their essays, I conducted face-to-face retrospective interviews with students to prompt them for information about the role of imagery as they write. Both L and J have spent more time on their second (untimed) essays. Without time constraint, they produced longer texts on untimed essay (149 vs. 170; 186 vs 284 words). However, despite a relatively long period of time spent writing an essay, these students neither described their images nor detailed them in their essays. Although their mental imagery generated an explosion of ideas for their writings, most visual thinking must merely be a means toward an end-pictures that writers spent in purchasing the right words or ideas.

Objectives: The study investigated the difficulties experienced by endodontics researchers around the world in conducting studies and writing papers. Materials and Methods: A survey consisting of 18 questions on the difficulties experienced by endodontics researchers in performing studies and writing papers was e-mailed to academics in the field of endodontics working at 202 universities. The independent risk factors were analyzed using binary logistic regression at a significance level of 0.05. Results: A total of 581 individuals (10.7%) agreed to participate in the study. Almost half the participants (48.2%) reported that they had received some type of training in conducting studies and writing papers. In response to the question, "Do you get help from a statistician to perform the statistical analyses of your studies?," 77.1% answered "yes." Around 40% of the participants stated that the need to obtain ethical approval negatively affected their desire to conduct studies. The participants' regions had no effect on the reported difficulties associated with writing papers in English or conducting statistical analyses (p > 0.05). Most participants (81.8%) reported difficulties in writing the Discussion section, regardless of their region, academic degrees, or years of experience. Conclusions: The participants stated they experienced difficulties in many areas, such as conducting statistical analyses, finding new ideas, and writing in English. Engaging in a detailed examination of ethics committee rules, expanding biostatistics education, increasing the number of institutions providing research funding, and increasing the number of endodontics journals can increase the enthusiasm of endodontics researchers to publish papers.

Background: Humidifier disinfectant exposure is an ongoing issue, and there is still considerable related controversy. Various approaches are needed to secure scientific evidence on the extent of the victims' damages and for the determination of appropriate compensation. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the association between humidifier disinfectant (HD) use and academic achievement in Korean children. Methods: This study used data from the 8th Panel Study on Korean Children in 2015. For the final study, 1,598 cases were used. T-tests and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to determine whether the use of humidifier disinfectant is a factor that affects academic ability. Results: Children in groups using humidifier disinfectant showed statistically significantly lower scores in all areas of language, including reading, speaking and writing, and statistically lower scores in all areas of mathematics, including counting, addition and subtraction. In the multiple regression analysis results, which control for the effects of various demographic/social variables, the use of humidifier disinfectants showed statistically significant beta coefficients (β: -0.357, p<0.001), negatively affecting children's language ability. As for the 'math' variable, which was created by combining counting, addition, and subtraction scores, the use of humidifier disinfectants as independent variables also showed statistically significant beta coefficients (β: -0.200, p<0.001), negatively affecting children's math ability. Conclusions: The results of the study showed that depending on whether or not humidifier disinfectants were used, there are differences in children's language abilities, such as reading, speaking, and writing, as well as in their mathematical abilities, such as counting, adding, and subtracting numbers. These findings are thought to serve as a scientific basis for extending the perspective from health effects to more diverse areas of demographic and social impact related to humidifier disinfectant damage and compensation.

Most if not all research articles published in journals require the author to write an abstract regardless of academic field. However, abstract writing in English is a highly specialized genre on its own. In this light, the purpose of this study is to investigate differences in journal article abstracts written in English by Korean and native English scholars. 90 research paper abstracts written in English by Korean national scholars, US-educated Korean scholars and native English scholars were compared according to rhetorical organization. A generalized rhetorical scheme was used in analysis which was based on Graetz (1985) and Swales (1990): Background-Purpose-Method-Result-Conclusion. In addition, the use of conjunctions as a cohesive device was analyzed based on the categories proposed by Halliday and Hasan (1976). Analyses of the research paper abstracts showed that the majority of the abstracts included the purpose, method and result components. However, while approximately 70 percent of native English writers used research background in the abstract, only 26 percent of Korean national scholars did so. Regarding the use of conjunctions, Korean-national scholars overused and inappropriately used additive and temporal conjunctions. The US-educated Korean scholars showed similar patterns to the native English speakers. The findings obtained here imply that there is a need to provide academic writing instruction of abstracts to non-native scholars.

과학교육 논문의 글쓰기 실태를 한국어 기초 문법과 번역투의 측면에서 조사하고 그 개선점을 찾아보았다. 과학교육 연구는 사회과학과 자연과학의 특성을 모두 나타내며 양적 연구를 더 많이 하는 특징이 있어 논문 글쓰기 방식에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이 연구에서 번역투는 순수한 한국어가 아닌 외국어에서 유래한 상투적 표현을 말한다. 한국어 기초 문법은 호응의 문제, 맞춤법 띄어쓰기 문장 부호의 문제, 사동표현의 문제, 무분별한 영어 사용의 문제로 정리하였고, 번역투는 영어번역의 문제, 일본어 번역의 문제, 영어와 일본어 번역의 문제로 구분하였다. 이에 따라 한국과학교육학회지 한 호에 실린 논문 9편의 글쓰기 중에서 한국어 기초 문법에 어긋나는 사례와 번역투에 해당하는 사례를 찾아 문제를 논의하고 대안을 제시하였다. 빈도가 높은 문제사례는 '~적', '영어 사용', '복수 표현', '하다류 피동', '~고 있는', '~을 통하여', '~에 대하여', '가지다', '관형격조사 ~의', '사물주어 수동태', '사동(시키다)' 등이었다. 연구 결과에 기초하여 과학교육 소논문의 글쓰기 특징을 '양적 연구의 글쓰기', '학술 연구의 객관적 글쓰기', '외국에서 유래한 연구의 글쓰기' 세 가지로 정리하였다. 과학교육 논문 글쓰기에 나타나는 문제를 개선하기 위해 과학교육 연구자는 한국어 기초 문법과 번역투에 관심을 기울이고, 구체적인 사례와 내용을 숙지할 필요가 있다. 이 연구의 결과는 한국어 글쓰기 교육과 문법 교육에 활용할 수 있다.
