This study was attempted to examine our perceptions, which are required as our society prepares for a multicultural society, targeting college students who are in charge of the future of a multicultural society, and to propose specific ways of changing what and how. A survey was conducted on college students taking the same liberal arts course four times each semester in 2018 and 2019, and a total of 299 survey data were used to analyze the results, excluding 6 insufficient surveys. As a result of the analysis, it was found that migrants had a negative image when they were younger or had no foreign experience. Regarding the factors of cognition of migrants, social distancing and cognitive flexibility were found to be more intimate with migrants when they were older, but were more concerned about social issues. Finally, in terms of the conditions for accreditation of migrants to Koreans, it can be seen that social welfare majors agree with the conditions for recognizing migrants as Koreans in much more categories than those with mixed majors. Based on these results, several practical methods that can be applied to college students who need to prepare to lead a multicultural society were proposed.

In this paper, to design a basic data science practice curriculum as a liberal arts subject for non-majors, we proposed an educational method using an Excel(spreadsheet) data analysis tool. Tools for data collection, data processing, and data analysis include Excel, R, Python, and Structured Query Language (SQL). When it comes to practicing data science, R, Python and SQL need to understand programming languages and data structures together. On the other hand, the Excel tool is a data analysis tool familiar to the general public, and it does not have the burden of learning a programming language. And if you practice basic data science practice with Excel, you have the advantage of being able to concentrate on acquiring data science content. In this paper, a basic data science practice curriculum for one semester and weekly Excel practice contents were proposed. And, to demonstrate the substance of the educational content, examples of Linear Regression Analysis were presented using Excel data analysis tools.

This study aimed to understand and analyze the learners' class satisfaction and the effectiveness of synchronous online classes after COVID-19. A total of 188 learners participated in the survey conducted at the end of the Fall Semester 2020 at C University located Gyeongsangnam-do. Findings revealed that learners' satisfaction with the synchronous online classes was relatively low, and the learners had negative perception of that. Learning content have the biggest effect on the learners' class satisfaction. Next came class management and the online learning platform. Therefore, instructors need to organize learning content effectively and enhance learners' understanding considering the most influential variable, learning content so that learners are satisfied with the synchronous online classes. Also, instructors should make it possible for learners to get familiar with the online learning platform and use it without any problems through systematic and faithful class design for effective learning in unfamiliar online learning environment. In addition, instructors need to know learners' needs and difficulties and plan their synchronous online classes. This study has limitations in that it was conducted only at one college and the limited number of variables was measured.
