This study aims to develop and implement a PBL framework using AI technology-based learning tools, namely, Naver Papago, Google Translate, and Grammarly. The six-week framework was embedded into a General English course at a university, and a total of 20 students participated in the study. After collecting 19 students’ questionnaires and 4 sets of group journals in which 20 students participated in four groups, the data were analyzed in order to investigate the students’ English learning experiences through the General English course. The findings are as follows. The students had positive English learning experiences in terms of cognitive factors, affective factors, satisfaction, linguistic factors, knowledge construction, and reflective practices. On the other hand, the students had negative learning experiences in relation to the inadequate quality of AI technology-based tools and the rather over-reliance on the tools. The study concludes with some pedagogical implications: the inclusion of a student-initiated grammar session involving feedback provided by Grammarly, and English language practices involving speaking and writing, both of which should serve to lower the over-reliance of the technology-based tools.

This purpose of this paper was to see the mediating effect of mentoring by seniors and juniors in the relationship between cooperative learning experiences and college commitment in liberal arts classes opened for university freshmen. To this end, a survey was conducted on mentees who had been taking competency-building courses at K university and a structural equation model was analyzed based on the survey. The study results are as following. First, cooperative learning experience did not have a significant effect on college commitment. Second, cooperative learning experience had a significant effect on mentoring. Third, cooperative learning experience had a statistical effect on college commitment completely mediated by mentoring. Based on these empirical research results, we suggest that the active use of mentoring by seniors and juniors should be considered in addition to providing cooperative learning experiences for the adaptation to and satisfaction with college life among university freshmen.

University admission through cross-entry admission is active and expected to accelerate further. However, due to this, it is expected that more students will drop out due to maladaptation to their department. Accordingly, universities must prepare systematic management, including the academic counseling necessary for students entering the Liberal Arts and Sciences Cross Application. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the current status of cross-application and the needs of cross-entry students in 2021 and 2022 at S University. Academic counseling was planned and conducted to help students‘ academic achievement and school adaptation. Primary research was conducted to help students with liberal arts and science cross-entry status to have a successful college life.First, in the 2021 school year, most of the cases involved students who completed liberal arts courses in high school and had applied to university science courses for reasons that were advantageous for employment. On the other hand, in the 2022 school year, science majors in high school applied to the field of liberal arts for reasons of admission to universities with a higher pass estimate. Second, among the 2021 cross-entry students who entered the science field, there was a phenomenon in which female students cross-applied again to the liberal arts field in 2022. Third, in terms of satisfaction with the department entered, compared to students enrolled in 2021, the satisfaction level of students enrolled in 2022 was lower at a statistically significant level, indicating that students who cross-applied for liberal arts have greater difficulty adapting to their department than students who cross-apply for science. This shows that the combined test for cross-application among liberal arts and science students can cause difficulties in their adaptation to college. This study sought and suggested alternatives for successful college adaptation for newly admitted students who requested academic counseling. This study also serves as primary research for universities to better help them understand and prepare their cross-application entrance exams.

This study analyzed the correlation between a student's learning background and their academic achievement in college-level calculus. By focusing on A university cases, this study seeks ways to improve the college calculus curriculum according to changes in the curriculum and the College Scholastic Ability Test (SAT) system. In particular, the academic achievement of college calculus was compared and analyzed according to whether calculus was completed in high school, or if calculus was selectively taken in the SAT. Through this study, it was confirmed that the relationship between one's academic achievement and one's learning background in college calculus differs depending on the student's basic academic ability. In other words, there was a difference in the academic achievement of college calculus according to whether students with a certain level of basic academic ability selectively took calculus in the SAT. On the other hand, it was also confirmed that there was a difference in the academic achievement of college calculus for students who lacked basic academic ability depending on whether or not they had completed calculus in high school. Therefore, universities should prepare a curriculum for college calculus according to the educational background of students by conducting a basic academic ability assessment before granting them admission in order to more accurately grasp their particular educational backgrounds.
