The purpose of this study is to develop a project-based learning program utilizing Earth science data and to evaluate its effects on students' knowledge-information processing competency and communication and collaboration competency. To achieve this, the ADDIE instructional design model was employed to create the program, which was then implemented with 75 second-year middle school students. The program's effectiveness was assessed using paired sample t-tests on the results of tests measuring knowledge-information processing competency and communication and collaboration competency. Additionally, reflection journals were analyzed to identify students' interest in and difficulties with the program. The study's conclusions are as follows: first, the Earth science data-based project learning program comprises three themes: 'Journey through the Planets of the Solar System,' 'I am a Marine Expert,' and 'Planning a Tidal Flat Experience Program.' Second, following the program's implementation, there was a significant improvement in the overall students' knowledge-information processing competency. Third, the program also led to a significant enhancement in students' communication and collaboration competency. Based on these findings, the study suggests the need for specific and continuous teacher support to provide students with successful experiences through the program, overcoming challenges in program implementation through collaboration with the information subject, and conducting research that microscopically analyzes students' interactions.

The scope of key competency of engineering majors has been expanded for last decades. Nowadays, not only major knowledge but also extracurricular knowledge such as business, economics, law and so on are regarded as prerequisites for successful performance at work sites. In this context, we defined several determinants of key competency classified into attitude, knowledge and skill, and investigated their relative importance perceived by Korean companies (n=145). Based on the results, the gap between key competency of engineering majors and academic curriculums of universities (n=182) was analyzed. Subsequently, regional difference and qualitative disparity between universities were also revealed.

This study started with the need for transition to competency-based education as well as the witness of fast changes in fashion industry's job environment. The goals of this study were (1) to explore fashion designers' competencies that are necessary for a successful careers in global fashion industry, and (2) to establish fashion designer competency model. In-depth individual interviews were conducted with 15 participants who have charged for design department and moreover have shown high performance in national, licence or designer brands in Korea fashion industry. Grounded theory was adopted to analyze data. As a result of analysis, the 4 core competencies emerged: problem-solving, research, inter-personal, and self-development. Each core competency has sub-competencies. Creativity, commerciality, control, decision making were sub-competencies for the problem-solving competency. Information management, innovation understanding & application, trend analysis & forecasting were sub-competencies for the research competency. Consumer, inside company, and outside company relationships were sub-competencies for the inter-personal competency. Self-awareness, self-management, expertise were sub-competencies for the self-development competency. In order to acquire these competencies, knowledge (academic, practical, multi-discipline), skills (sense, analysis, synthesis, communication), and attitude (interest, enjoyment, perseverance, personality) were essential. Based on these findings, implications for university fashion design education and further research areas were suggested.

This study aims to examine the differences between groups through the results of the core competency diagnosis, and to find out the differences in core competences depending on engineering education accreditation, gender, admission types. To this end, we analyzed the differences in K-CESA results on self-management capabilities, resources & information use, global competency, higher order thinking competency, and interpersonal competency in 2017 for the fourth graders of S University. An ANOVA of major field showed that the humanities had high overall competencies. The results of t-test of engineering students showed that accredited students had relatively low "flexibility" of their global competency, and that the "analysis" of their higher order thinking competency was relatively high. There were no statistically significant differences between groups depending on the admission types. Through these analyses, we presented suggestions such as the provision of specialized programs based on differences among different groups, the development of comprehensive thinking skills such as capstone design, the need to secure flexibility in engineering education accreditation, and the enhancement of female students' resources & information use.

In this study, we collaborated with the National Library of Korea's Library Education Institute to pilot the operation of a librarian learning community and aimed to measure its effectiveness based on the improvement of librarian competencies. A total of 28 participants attended four programs, and the research results are as follows: First, when analyzing competencies in terms of community capacity, attitude competency was the highest, followed by knowledge and skills competencies in that order. The correlation analysis among competencies showed that there were mutual correlations among the three competencies. Second, in the pre-post analysis of the three competencies and their sub-competencies, it was found that all competencies, including sub-competencies, improved. Based on the research results, it was confirmed that through the operation of the librarian learning community, the average competencies of librarians can be improved, which can directly impact the enhancement of the library's service capabilities. Therefore, it is believed that there is a need to activate the operation of librarian learning communities and explore nationwide dissemination strategies for the operating model.

One of the major issues in the field of corporate training and formal education is the support of personalized learning. Successful personalized learning needs the availability of the relevant learning contents at just-in-time for learners each. The competency is one of personal characteristics. So competency-based learning is one of the methods that fulfill the above need. Successful competency-based learning needs the method that recommends the relevant contents for the user's deficient competency based on the user's current competency and objectives. We assume that there exists a student information system that provides each user's competences and objectives as fields of a LIP/ePortfolio-compliant student information. This paper proposes an ontology-based system that, given the user's competences and objectives from the above student informaton system, recommends the relevant contents among a large number of educational contents using competency ontology and domain ontology. The advantage of this system can easily handle the change of competency map and terms related with competences in student information and education contents.
