This paper describes a one of HRD Program focus on ICT technology called TOPCIT as that companies and higher education providers voiced the need for a standardized, objective competency index that can reinforce the on-site competency of college students majoring in ICT/SW. And reduce the gap between the viewpoints of industrial and academic circles regarding the qualifications of a competent specialist in ICT field. For this reason, T.OPCIT developed and evaluated a performance-evaluation-centered test designed to diagnose and assess the competency of ICT specialists and SW developers critically needed to perform jobs on the professional frontier. This TOPCIT concept has been promoted not just in KOREA but in many ASEAN countries, e.g Thailand, Nepal, Bhutan, Philippines, Mongolia and Cambodia during the ICTD-USO Forum organised by ITU-ASP.

The goal of this study is to examine the effectiveness of assertiveness training program for nurses' fear of negative evaluation, assertiveness behavior, and communication competency. The study is quasi-experimental study by nonequivalence control group design. The subjects of this study consisted of 32 graduate students in nursing department located in G city; 14 in experimental group and 18 in control group. The data is collected from March 13th, 2018 to May 8th, 2018. The experimental group participated in assertiveness training program composed of six times session for 180 minutes once a week and were asked to fill out the structured questionnaire. Collected data is analyzed by Fisher's exact test, $x^2-test$ and t-test. The result reveals the significant difference in assertiveness behavior and communication competency of nurses. This study contribute to improve the effectiveness of convergence-based assertiveness training program for nurses' assertiveness competency, communication competency.

The purpose of this study was to develop a competency model and analyze the competency needs for construction manager in D Co., Ltd.. The delphi method of 25 excellent construction managers working in D Co., Ltd. was used to develop a competency model. The results showed that there would be a construction manager competency model which consisted of 3 competency clusters, 11 competencies, and 60 key actions. Then the survey of 114 construction managers working in D Co., Ltd. was conducted to examine concurrent construct validity of the competency model for construction manager and to analyze construction managers' competency needs by using the Borich's formula and the Locus for Focus Model(LfFM). The results showed that construction managers perceived 'communication', 'risk management', 'goal orientation', 'customer orientation', and 'project management' as top five priorities of competencies for construction managers. Based upon the above results, some implications were suggested for developing construction managers' competencies and improving their performance.

The core value of the college of Interdisciplinary & Creative Studies is rely on the supporting system which can develop the learners' practical 'performing' competency. For aiming this, educational process of university constitutes the competencies which can be expected at the local field and develop the competency-oriented extracurricular & its operating system. Defining the creative convergent talent, as 'collaborative creative convergent one, bricoleur' and categorizes core competency named as TX competency. T competency contains humanities and the professionals of each major field needed. X competency consists of creative problem solving, convergent thinking ability, self-oriented learning ability and cooperative leadership. Developing extracurriculum & its operating system learners can be exposured the systemic learning and managing process. They can develop their potential abilities and can accumulate a proper mileage at their learning achievement.

The purpose of this study is examine the validity of digital competency indicators in order to develop a tool that can measure the digital competency of preschool teachers. To review the validity, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted on the data of 272 preschool teachers. The exploratory factor analysis resulted in four factors, and the confirmatory factor analysis verified the fit, validity(convergent validity, discriminant validity) and reliability of each competency group and the model composition of sub-competency indicators. The four factors validated were named 'Understanding Digital Technologies', 'Digital Technology Understanding', 'Digital Technology Application', 'Digital Technology-based Communication', 'Digital Ethics Understanding and Practice'. The analysis results demonstrated the reliability and validity of the tool for measuring the digital competencies of preschool teachers, and it is meaningful in that it can provide a foundation for measuring the digital competency of preschool teachers and conducting education program suitable for each digital competency level.

This study is a one group pretest-posttest design study to confirm the effect of non-face-to-face Havruta's activities on communication competency, academic self-efficacy, and learning immersion of nursing students. The study was conducted from September to October 2021. The collected data were through self-report questionnaires of 69 student nurses. The data were analyzed by frequencies and paired t-test using SPSS 24.0 program. As a result, the subjects' communication competency, academic self-efficacy, and learning immersion were significantly increased after the non-face-to-face Havruta's activities compared to before. The results of this study can be useful basic data for professors who want to apply non-face-to-face Havruta's activities to their classes in the future.

This study aimed to examine the effects of simulation-based neonatal nursing care education on the communication competence, self-efficacy, clinical competency. A one-group pre-and post test design was used. A total of 122 students participate. Data was collected from May 3 to June 4, 2021, using self-report questionnaires only for students who understood the purpose of the study and gave written consent to participate. For the simulation-based neonatal nursing care education, a total of three steps of preparation for scenario implementation, scenario implementation, and debriefing were applied in groups of 3-4 people of 4.5 hours. As a result of this study, it was found that the simulation-based neonatal nursing care education had statistically significant improvement in communication competence, self-efficacy, clinical competency. Through the results of this study, it was confirmed that simulation-based education in the nursing care of children can be an effective teaching-learning method that can supplement the observation-oriented clinical practice of child nursing for nursing students.
