In this study, we aim to identify the correlation between a student’s experience with presentations and self-efficacy, and to seek ways to teach the art of giving presentations in university classes. For this purpose, self-efficacy was measured before and after presentation practice for students in Presentation Techniques, a liberal arts subject at S University, and students' perceptions of the presentation experience were investigated. As a result of the survey, presentations were found to be helpful in improving self-efficacy, and were especially effective in improving social self-efficacy. These results show that presentation education can be an effective teaching method in teaching social and communication skills, and therefore, there appears to be a need to strengthen presentations in college classes.
在本研究中,我们旨在确定学生的演讲经验与自我效能感之间的相关性,并寻求在大学课堂上传授演讲艺术的方法。为此,我们对 S 大学文科科目 "演讲技巧 "的学生在演讲练习前后的自我效能感进行了测量,并调查了学生对演讲经历的看法。调查结果显示,演讲有助于提高自我效能感,尤其是在提高社交自我效能感方面。这些结果表明,演讲教育可以成为教授社交和沟通技能的有效教学方法,因此,似乎有必要在大学课堂上加强演讲。

This quantitative case study used the technology acceptance model (TAM), which was developed by Venkatesh and Davis (2000), to comprehend student attitudes related to the use of smartphone translators in the English as a foreign language (EFL) writing classroom. The study surveyed 194 undergraduate students enrolled in a required EFL writing course. The study utilized a factor reduction to group the variables into the TAM model. Standard multiple regressions were then performed on each of the three stages of the TAM. First, it was found that subjective norm (SN), voluntariness (V) and output quality (OQ) had a positive statistically significant effect on the students’ perceived usefulness (PU). Two factors did not display a statistical effect on the model: results demonstrability (RD) and the students’ perceived ease of use (EoU). In the second phase of the model, EoU and PU both had a positive statistically significant effect on the students’ intention to use (IU). However, SN did not have a statistical effect on IU as predicted in the model. The final standardized regression found that IU had a positive statistically significant effect on the students’ usage behavior (UB). The overall results indicated that the more positive a student’s SN, V, OQ, PU, and IU, the more likely the student will be to apply smartphone translators to their arsenal of mechanisms to study English. Teachers should consider including the smartphone translator in their technology toolbox in the EFL writing classroom.
本定量案例研究采用了 Venkatesh 和 Davis(2000 年)开发的技术接受模型(TAM)来理解学生对在英语作为外语(EFL)的写作课堂上使用智能手机翻译的态度。该研究调查了 194 名学习 EFL 写作必修课程的本科生。研究利用因子还原法将变量归入 TAM 模型。然后对 TAM 的三个阶段分别进行了标准多元回归。首先,研究发现主观规范(SN)、自愿性(V)和输出质量(OQ)对学生的感知有用性(PU)有积极的统计学影响。有两个因素对模型没有统计上的影响:结果可证实性(RD)和学生的感知易用性(EoU)。在模型的第二阶段,EoU 和 PU 都对学生的使用意向(IU)产生了积极的统计影响。然而,SN 对 IU 的影响并不像模型中预测的那样具有统计学意义。最后的标准化回归发现,IU 对学生的使用行为(UB)有统计学意义上的正向影响。总体结果表明,学生的 SN、V、OQ、PU 和 IU 越积极,就越有可能将智能手机翻译器应用到他们的英语学习机制中。教师应考虑将智能手机翻译器纳入其 EFL 写作课堂的技术工具箱中。

This study investigates the views of university English teachers in Korea teaching English speaking classes to develop a greater understanding of how L1 is used and for what reasons and purposes in the classroom. The primary means of data collection included a survey with multiple choice questions and open-ended questions, as well as semi-structured interviews. Thirteen teachers, five native English-speaking teachers (NESTs) and eight Korean English teachers (KETs) responded to the survey, among whom four teachers participated in the interviews. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics or qualitative methods, depending on their types. Findings revealed that teachers attempted to use English as the primary medium of instruction, adhering to class identity and their teaching beliefs. However, the majority also found themselves allowing for the use of Korean to some extent for reasons such as the students’ low English proficiency, course goals, the tense environment, common L1 among students, and the students’ demand, although some differences were observed in the way that Korean was used between NESTs and KETs. Teachers also showed more leniency towards the students’ Korean use as opposed to their own use of it and employed Korean for different purposes in each case. Discrepancies were found between NESTs and KETs in their purposes. For instance, NESTs focused their use of Korean on social purposes while KETs focused on managerial purposes. NESTs permitted students to use Korean for various purposes, whereas KETs focused mainly on affective and social purposes. However, both groups seldom considered the students’ use of Korean for linguistic purposes. Further discussions on implications for teachers, education administrators, and researchers are provided.
本研究调查了在韩国教授英语口语课程的大学英语教师的观点,以进一步了解课堂上如何使用 L1 以及使用的原因和目的。数据收集的主要方式包括包含多项选择题和开放式问题的调查以及半结构式访谈。13 名教师(5 名英语为母语的教师(NESTs)和 8 名韩语英语教师(KETs))对调查做出了回应,其中 4 名教师参加了访谈。收集到的数据根据其类型采用描述性统计或定性方法进行分析。调查结果显示,教师们试图将英语作为主要教学媒介,坚持班级身份和教学理念。然而,大多数教师也发现自己在一定程度上允许使用韩语,原因包括学生英语水平低、课程目标、紧张的环境、学生之间的共同语言以及学生的需求,尽管在使用韩语的方式上,NEST 和 KET 之间存在一些差异。教师对学生使用韩语的态度也比对自己使用韩语的态度要宽松,而且在每种情况下使用韩语的目的也不尽相同。NEST 和 KET 在使用目的上存在差异。例如,NEST 的韩语使用侧重于社交目的,而 KET 的韩语使用侧重于管理目的。NEST 允许学生出于各种目的使用韩语,而 KET 则主要侧重于情感和社交目的。然而,这两个群体都很少考虑学生使用韩语的语言目的。本报告还进一步讨论了对教师、教育管理者和研究人员的影响。

The advancement of science and technology, led by artificial intelligence, is not only shaping the direction of human life but also shaking its very meaning. In this article, I will explore the meaning of the transition to a new civilization called ‘the post-human era’ from a more macroscopic perspective and attempt to interpret our current reality from a new standpoint. To achieve this, we will examine the insights of contemporary philosophers such as Latour, Haraway, Bhaskar, and Ferrando, who oppose anthropocentrism of the modern era and propose new worldviews and perspectives on humanity. They argue that there is a need for the evolution of the ontological relationship between humans and non-humans. Particularly, the development of artificial intelligence technology demands a shift in the relationship between humans and machines from a tool-based connection to a mutually interdependent, agentive relationship. Therefore, in the era of post-humanism, a new concept of humanity is required, and through this, we must overcome the limitations of the anthropocentric notion of humanity from the modern era. ‘Humanitas’ is also a guiding principle in liberal education. I hope for ongoing discussions and debates regarding the meaning and content of this guiding principle, as well as the evolution and changes in the concept.

This paper explored the expansion of learners' convergent thinking and the practice of convergence general education through the analysis of poster presentation cases. This course is based on interdisciplinary content in the STS, and operates in a standardized flipped learning, which is learner-centered. Learners from different majors will participate in these classes, and student presentations take the form of poster presentations, consisting of a single PPT slide presented by an individual student followed by a Q&A session. In this class, students can, first, learn to integrate their majors with the unit theme through self-directed exploration, starting from an understanding of the unit's theme. Second, through the Q&A process, students can develop their convergent abilities through inquiry and interaction among their learners. At this time, the use of crosscutting themes, which allows reflection from the perspectives of humans, technology, and society, provides an opportunity to further promote the learners' convergent thinking. Thus, poster presentations utilizing crosscutting themes can be used as a teaching-learning device to cultivate the convergent abilities of learners with diverse majors from the aspects of major convergent thinking with the unit theme, as well as extended thinking through Q&A sessions. This study examined the flow of convergent thinking extended through the learners' own exploration and interaction through the analysis of the poster presentation cases utilizing crosscutting themes. This is significant in that it proposed a teaching-learning model that enables students from diverse majors to share their awareness of issues concerning humans, technology, and society, and to cultivate their abilities for connected and creative thinking.

This study examines that even in an era when technology is essential to education, the essence of liberal arts education lies in the instructor's consideration and internal communication with learners. Technical skills are essential in limited physical and group learning environments, and technology and teaching methods are interdependent. By empirically observing the period of transition from non-face-to-face to face-to-face, we confirmed the interdependence between teaching methods and the university's LMS in H University's liberal arts writing class. Technology functions to sustain and promote the internal relationship between instructor and learner, and internal communication is achieved through the instructor's consideration for the learner. When a sense of trust is formed through the instructor's consideration, learners can focus on writing independently, even in a group learning environment where they do not receive attention. The university's LMS is used for hybrid education where instructors and learners maintain internal communication and communicate using online technology and offline consideration. However, the interdependent relationship with technology in education is meaningful when instructors aim for internal communication through consideration as humanization.
本研究探讨了即使在教育离不开技术的时代,通识教育的精髓仍在于教师的思考以及与学习者的内部交流。在有限的物理和小组学习环境中,技术技能是必不可少的,技术与教学方法是相互依存的。通过实证观察从非面对面到面对面的过渡时期,我们证实了在 H 大学的通识写作课上,教学方法与大学 LMS 之间的相互依存关系。技术的作用是维持和促进教师与学员之间的内部关系,而内部沟通则是通过教师对学员的关怀来实现的。当通过教师的体贴形成信任感时,学习者即使在小组学习环境中得不到关注,也能专注于独立写作。大学的 LMS 用于混合式教育,教师和学习者保持内部沟通,利用在线技术和离线体贴进行交流。然而,当教师通过作为人性化的考虑来实现内部交流时,教育中与技术的相互依存关系就变得有意义了。

Machine translation (MT) has become increasingly ubiquitous in our daily lives, academia, and education. Learners use MT to understand foreign language texts, and teachers use MT in a variety of courses, such as general English and courses for international students. This study aims to investigate the trends of MT research in Korea and to identify the research topics that have been studied so far. To this end, this study collected 875 domestic MT research papers from the 1970s to the present and extracted the topics of the papers using topic modeling. This study then analyzed the temporal trends of each research topic to examine the changes in research topics and to identify their networks. This study's findings show that the number of research papers and research topics have changed significantly since the release of Google's neural machine translation in late 2016.

The purpose of this study is to propose the necessity of cultural literacy education in the Korean language focusing on the Busan region, and to suggest the direction of its educational content composition. To achieve this goal, we analyzed three monographs and one lecture related to studies pertaining to Busan with the aim of designing the framework for cultural literacy education targeting foreign exchange students in Korean education. As a result, we devised educational elements reflecting the locality of Busan based on various places in Busan over a 13-week period. We also made recommendations on how such locality can be implemented in cultural literacy education in terms of attitude, knowledge, context, and practical use.

As Latour explicitly expressed it, climate acts across all of our modes of existence from the political to the moral. For this reason, the climate liberal education in our era of climate crisis should be a convergent liberal education based upon a pluralism of knowledge. Considering this special request of climate liberal education, this paper proposed to design a transdisciplinary course using climate science, earth system science/environmental science, and climate history as core modules. Each module can have a different weight, location, and relation depending on the character and interests of the instructors and students. First of all, climate science is taken as a fundamental knowledge, because understanding climate requires both a deep level of holistic thinking and at least a basic level of climate literacy. Secondly, earth system science and environmental science as an extensive knowledge is required in order to understand the current climate crisis in the more comprehensive context of the Anthropocene. Lastly, climate history is chosen as consilience knowledge in order to integrate climate science and earth system science/environmental science, and to encourage more ambitious climate action.

Lastly, climate history is chosen as consilience knowledge in order to integrate climate science and earth system science/environmental science, and to encourage more ambitious climate action.","PeriodicalId":267224,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Association of General Education","volume":"117 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140423539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to develop the reading practicum for university students by developing an effective reading program suitable for the convergence era. Reading is a key skill that contributes to developing convergent competencies in university liberal arts education. In particular, ‘Book-trailers’ (video trailers that introduce books) are important in that they produce the results of reading using media.The contents of teaching-learning are as follows. First, once learners know the difference between letter-based text and multimodal text, they can adapt them to the studies. Next, learners experience becoming a book trailer producer and a book trailer consumer. Lastly, the learner knows the respective functions of the book trailer for promotional purposes and as a result after reading.As a result of this program, learners engaged in active reading by understanding book features and contents from a multifaceted perspective and by producing multimodal texts. Furthermore, this program is one of the solutions to solving the problem of learners' declining literacy and reading comprehension skills and can also be expanded into the reading culture industry.
