To achieve this goal, existing domestic and foreign studies were reviewed to establish the conceptual framework, scope, and research criteria for booster expressions to be used in this study. Test writing data, which serve as evidence of international students' internalized linguistic expressions, were collected. The composition data were gathered from 40 international students representing China, Japan, Cambodia, Mongolia, and Kyrgyzstan. The research criteria were categorized into adverbs, adjectives/verbs, nouns, periphrastic constructions, endings, cleft sentences, and others. As a result of the study, we found that international students used boosters in the following order of frequency: ‘adverbs > periphrastic constructions > endings > cleft sentences > nouns,’ and that they preferred a strategy that strongly emphasized their thesis using adverbs and syntactic-level periphrastic constructions. Additionally, this study showed that international students attempted to use hedges in conjunction with boosters to moderate the intensity of their opinions as an active strategy within the text. This study is significant because it addresses boosters—a topic that has not been extensively explored in Korean language education research. Furthermore, it examines the actual inter-language proficiency of international students who are not using texts written by Korean authors or texts in controlled situations.","PeriodicalId":267224,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Association of General Education","volume":"136 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140421852","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}

To this end, a survey was conducted on 219 foreign undergraduate students who took Liberal Arts courses at A University. As a result of the analysis, 39.7% of foreign undergraduate students who participated in this survey answered that they had used Generative AI when performing assignments at university. Respondents mainly used Generative AI for outlines, summaries, solving exercises, and writing general reports, and used Generative AI to better understand the content, to generate ideas, to translate, and to revise their expressions. And as a result of analyzing their educational needs, we found that foreign undergraduate students need writing, citation, and writing ethics education when using Generative AI, even if they are aware of citation methods and problems when using Generative AI in the process of performing university assignments. Based on these results, this study suggested educational implications for writing when using Generative AI in writing subjects. It is necessary for us to teach ciation methods and writing ethics when using Generative AI. Also, it is necessary for us to teach writing students using Generative AI the types of writing that take into account the majors of foreign undergraduate students or the types of writing that learners write with frequently. How to use Generative AI in writing classes can be taught to foreign undergraduate students, especially in the writing revision stage.","PeriodicalId":267224,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Association of General Education","volume":"82 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140422882","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}

Data analysis was conducted using general qualitative analysis for the open ended questions and descriptive statistics for the multiple choice and 5-point Likert scale questions. The findings of the study indicate such tools and functions as Lecture Contents, Inbox, Announcements, Assignments, Learn Status, Assignment Comment, and Speed Grader were used frequently on CANVAS, which was also related to the instructors’ high levels of satisfaction with this LMS in the areas of sharing course content, managing a classroom (e.g., monitoring students’ learning activities and communicating with students), and administering assignments and exams. On the other hand, the instructors reported that they used such tools and functions as Collaborations and Discussion less on Canvas, which matched their relatively low satisfaction with CANVAS in writing related areas such as grading, giving feedback, sharing peer feedback, and doing collaborative writing activities.

This is because LAS in Europe reflects the orientation of modern liberal arts education such as universal, academic, and contemporary property, and can supplement the limitations of the Korean liberal arts curriculum, which is heavily influenced by sub-disciplines. The purpose of this paper is to explore the implications of the European University College [UC]s’ Liberal Arts & Science model for undergraduate liberal arts education in Korean universities. To this end, text data of three European UCs and Amsterdam UC [AUC] were collected, preprocessed, and then analyzed using techniques such as frequency analysis, topic modeling, and a semantic network. By comparing the results of the frequency analysis, 14 common keywords were extracted and classified into universal (social, human, public, development), academic (research, science, knowledge, skills, analysis), and contemporary (international, global, contemporary, data, economic) orientation. In the structure of the semantic network, some keywords were assigned in several topics. As a result of analyzing 5 keywords of 8 topics in the course titled Data of AUC LAS, 18 of 226 courses included an Introduction. 11 of them are introductory courses of convergence and 7 are theme-oriented courses, which is different from the cases in Korea, which are mostly focused on introductory courses in sub-disciplines. Based on the analysis of texts of AUC LAS, this paper proposes three things: the introduction of a coordinator system and convergence courses, the strengthening of the role of advisors, and the development of teaching-learning methods. The results of these discussions based on text data analysis can be used to improve the standards of liberal arts education in Korea or to reorganize liberal arts education at each university. They can also be used as a reference when developing and managing educational programs such as in institutions dedicated to liberal arts education, university colleges, and departments for self-designing curriculum at Korean universities.","PeriodicalId":267224,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Association of General Education","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123651715","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}

{"title":"A Qualitative Study on the Process of Changing Multicultural Perceptions of College Students Participating in Role-playing Oriented Liberal Arts Classes","authors":"H. Mun, Youngsoon kIM, Xiaohan Sun","doi":"10.46392/kjge.2023.17.4.173","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.46392/kjge.2023.17.4.173","url":null,"abstract":"The purpose of this study is to explore the process of changing multicultural perceptions of college students who participated in liberal arts classes using role-playing, and to present multicultural education measures in higher education institutions. To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted with five college students who participated in liberal arts classes, and these were analyzed using phenomenological research methods. As a result, first, the participants stated that they were “indifferent” or had “uncomfortable feelings” about multiculturalism due to a lack of direct experience with migrants. Second, college students came to understand and respect others through the multicultural role-playing process. Third, research participants came to think about the attitudes they should have in a multicultural society in the future during their liberal arts class. This has led to changes in the perceptions of all people interacting in a multicultural society, regarding both their perceptions and attitudes.Based on these results, this study presented future multicultural education plans as follows. First, multicultural education should begin with content that can lead to “various levels of cultural curiosity” among the learners. This plays a role in relieving the indifferent or uncomfortable emotions that learners have. Second, before the role-playing activities, education that can help students better understand other cultures should be prioritized. This can reduce the difficulties students face when it comes to ‘cultural differences’ and ‘language barriers’ (communication) when learners write their role play scripts. Finally, multicultural education should be developed as a long-term curriculum rather than a one-off, and should be conducted to improve mutual cultural capabilities by engaging in “cultural exchange activities,” including the involvement of the migrants' language, culture, experiences, and values. This can help students internalize their necessary multicultural awareness on a long-term basis. It can also be a way for them to understand their foreign counterparts more deeply by providing opportunities for mutual cultural communication with them. Through this study, we looked at the process of changing college students' multicultural perception. It is hoped that this study will serve as useful basic data for the progress of multicultural education that can promote multicultural awareness for college students as well as for other learners.","PeriodicalId":267224,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Association of General Education","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126147115","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}

Additionally, the study aims to examine whether there are variations in self-directed English learning ability based on individual variables among students in both types of classes. A survey was conducted to measure self-directed English learning ability, covering cognitive, affective, and behavioral aspects. Data from 284 freshmen were analyzed using IBM SPSS 27.0. The findings are as follows. First, a difference in self-directed English learning ability was observed between college students taking non-face-to-face and face-to-face General English courses. Notably, the difference in learning when it comes to motivation, continuity of learning activities, and learning about the factors involved in resource interest management was statistically significant. In all seven sub-factors, the average score of college students taking non-face-to-face classes was higher than that of their face-to-face counterparts. Second, the self-directed English learning ability of college students who took non-face-to-face classes differed based on individual variables such as gender, English vocabulary level, interest in English, and average learning time per day. In particular, the difference in average scores by gender showed a certain pattern. Third, the self-directed English learning ability of college students who took face-to-face classes varied depending on individual variables such as gender, English vocabulary level, interest in English, and average learning time per day. Depending on some individual variables, certain patterns were also shown. Based on these findings, similarities and differences in college students' self-directed English learning ability between non-face-to-face and face-to-face classes were identified. Also, educational suggestions to enhance learners' self-directed English learning ability in both settings were provided.","PeriodicalId":267224,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Association of General Education","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127715645","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}

Research on women’s science fiction has also been conducted in the context of the posthuman, with two main research trends: technofeminism, which affirms the union between women and science, and critical posthumanist research on ableism. However, these studies lack a perspective on animality that encompasses humans and nonhumans. The discussion of science fiction inevitably confronts the disregard for life and instrumentalist exploitation, which can be seen as increasing with the development of science and technology. Therefore, the issues of human and non-human minorities, vulnerability, and animality are the ultimate challenges of a posthuman society and are central to the discussion of science fiction. If posthumanism dreams of a ‘better’ post-human world, it should focus on ‘animals, including humans’. Therefore, in order to generate categories of thought for discussion topics that can be utilized in liberal arts education, this paper adds the animal axis to the existing discussion and discusses the correlation between the three concepts of minorities, vulnerability, and animality in Cheon Seonran’s science fiction novel A Thousand Blue. As we have seen, the educational implications of the novel are that it connects humans and animals through disability and points out the problems of the technological society that will come in the near future as an extension of today, pointing out that the posthuman society should be designed from the lowest position. In addition, the novel’s significance lies in the fact that it creates a point of debate, rather than simply sealing the issue by establishing a desirable human-animal relationship. The novel shows that by adding a species axis to the posthumanist discussion, we can start to think about how to redesign society.","PeriodicalId":267224,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Association of General Education","volume":"172 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116303380","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}

One of the main characteristics of this study is that the two activities circulate repetitively. In the repetition of the two activities, the target aims such as argumentative thinking skills, creativity, and speech and writing competences, can be achieved in an equally balanced manner. Another characteristic is that diverse patterns of debates such as formal debates, informal debates and online debates, are utilized for the learner’s active participation. Finally, since interactions can be strengthened between learners and a teacher, learners and learners, and learners and materials, feedback and information search can be strongly activated.

In particular, it examines the nature of Automatic Society based on digital information technology and the conditions of human life from the perspective of French technology philosophers Simondon and Stiegler. Based on this, the article reveals the importance of liberal arts education as a new life ‘ars’ in the post-labor society that will come with artificial intelligence. Simondon's technical mentality and technical culture reveal a new model of post-labor existence that enables people to organize their work and public activities alongside AI, rather than in competition with it. Stiegler embodies Simondon's outlook by calling for a transformation of the crisis of labor and spirit caused by the algorithmic governmentality of Automatic Society into an opportunity for the invention of new kind of knowledge and work. The era of intelligent automation shifts the paradigm of life from labor productivity and expertise to post-labor and liberal arts. We need to cultivate life ‘ars’ so that the time freed from labor due to automation can be used to take care of our own lives and the lives of others, inherit our cultural traditions, and produce new values.Liberal arts education should move toward fostering digital literacy with a humanistic outlook in order for us to understand the human condition of living in an automated technological environment and to discover the value of the human spirit and the meaning of human life.","PeriodicalId":267224,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Association of General Education","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122295651","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}

Therefore, AI education is emerging as an essential subject in universities, and curriculums are being designed and researched through various approaches. This study introduces a case involving process automation classes that can be applied to university SW and AI liberal arts education by utilizing various learning resources of web content that are encountered in daily life. At a time when artificial intelligence education is emerging as important, the AI pre-processing process is also important. Thus, procedural and experiential learning that can select the tools necessary to collect, process, and analyze appropriate data for problem solving is also important. Therefore, in designing the SW⋅AI liberal arts curriculum, it is meaningful in various aspects to design an education that quickly collects and processes life-linked data based on web content by combining the highly utilized Python library and RPA concept. Through related research, cases where process automation implementation learning can be designed and applied, areas of interest among learners regarding classification were derived through learner responses. Furthermore, web content designed through qualitative responses were shown to be excellent practical resources for process automation learning. In the designed learning of classification, interest in ‘data collection using data crawling and scraping’ ranked the highest, followed by ‘open API integration and utilization’.
