Background & Objectives: Self-rated health has been widely used to evaluate health status and accepted as a subjective measurement of quality of life. This study aimed to analyze the associations between self-rated health, health promotion behaviors, and mental health factors and suggest the approaches to improve health status among university students. Methods: Two thousand six hundred seventy-seven students who had stayed at dormitories on campus participated in the DU health survey by self-reported questionnaire from April 10 to 14, 2017. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of association of self-rated health with health-related factors among male and female students. Results: 38.6% of the respondents reported good self-rated health. Male and first-year students were more likely to report good self-rated health than female and third-year students. There were significant differences in sex, grade, health problems, BMI, sleeping hours, eating breakfast, consumption of fruits and vegetables, physical activity (regular walking, strength exercise, moderate exercise, vigorous exercise), perceived stress, depression, and suicide thought (p<0.05). Conclusion: Although health promotion programs for university students are essential to support their adaptation to campus life and academic achievement, evidence-based health programs to encourage their participation are still insufficient. Therefore, it should establish a campus-based health policy and develop health promotion programs to increase self-rated health levels and prevent mental health problems for university students.

This is a study on a case applying flipped learning to coding classes that is a college liberal arts course. A required coding class for the students who do not major in computers needs a teaching method differentiated from a coding education for training experts. The present study presented a flipped learning teaching model for the coding education of non-major students, and observed its effect and possibility. Flipped learning enables learners to learn with on-line contents anywhere and anytime they want and concentrate on practice education based on what they learned during class. Accordingly, the study sought for the solution to maximize the efficiency of teaching and learning through flipped learning. A pre and post surveys after applying a flipped learning to a practical class confirmed that the students taught using flipped learning were more positively assessed in learning satisfaction than those taught using a traditional method, and that in academic achievement as well, flipped learning was more effective.
