This study utilized minimum number of demographic variables and first-semester GPA of students to predict the final academic status of students at a vocational college in Seoul. The results from XGBoost and LightGBM models revealed that these variables significantly impacted the prediction of students' dismissal. This suggests that early academic performance could be an important indicator of potential academic dropout. Additionally, the possibility that academic years required to award an associate degree at the vocational college could influence the final academic status was confirmed, indicating that the duration of study is a crucial factor in students' decisions to discontinue their studies. The study attempted to model without relying on psychological, social, or economic factors, focusing solely on academic achievement. This is expected to aid in the development of an early warning system for preventing academic dropout in the future.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of learning flow, problem solving ability, professor-student interaction of academic achievement in nursing students. Data were collected from 274 nursing students in B city and analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and hierarchial multiple regression using SPSS/WIN 22.0. The degree of academic achievement in nursing students was 3.70±0.70. There were significant differences in academic achievement with grade(F=4.755, p=.003), campus life satisfaction(F=5.643, p=.004), major satisfaction(t=5.794, p=.003), adapting to COVID-19(F=7.961, p<.001), satisfaction to non-face-to-face environment class(F=18.353, p<.001). There was positive correlation between academic achievement and learning flow(r=.649, p<.001), problem solving ability(r=.333, p<.001), professor-student interaction(r=.479, p<.001). The factors affecting academic achievement of the study subjects were learning flow(β=.563, p<.001), professor-student interaction(β=.280, p<.001), with an explanatory power of 52.0%. Therefore, strategies increase the academic achievement of nursing students in untact lecture, and environment improvement to increase learning flow and professor-student interaction are needed.

This study examined the relationship of academic failure tolerance, academic self-efficacy and academic achievement of nursing students. The data was obtained from August 27 to September 17. The participants were 198 students in a university in D city. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression. A positive correlation was observed between all the variables. The factor that significantly affected academic achievement was academic self-efficacy, which explained 7.5% of the variances. The subdomain of the academic failure tolerance affecting academic achievement was found to be the behavior, which explained 8.0% of variances. The subdomains of academic self-efficacy affecting the academic achievement was the self-regulatory efficacy. This factor explained 15.4% of the variances. This study suggests that it is necessary to enhance the academic failure tolerance and academic self-efficacy for the learning achievement and working performance of nursing students.

This study was attempted to confirm the effects of covert narcissism, self-directed learning ability, academic achievement on self-leadership in nursing students. This study targeted 247 nursing students in B and Y cities. Data analysis was analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS 22.0 program. The average self-leadership of the subjects was 3.14±0.62 points, and the difference in self-leadership according to general characteristics was significant in major satisfaction (F=11.111, p<.001). There was positive correlation between self-leadership and self-directed learning ability (r=.630, p<.001), academic achievement (r=.532, p<.001), and negative correlation between covert narcissism (r=-.206, p=.001). The factors influencing the subject's self-leadership were identified as covert narcissism (β=-.147, p=.031), self-directed learning ability (β=.468, p<.001) and academic achievement (β=.282, p<.001) and the explanatory power was 46.9%. Based on the results of the study, the necessary of developing an effective education program considering the self-leadership and related factors of nursing students was suggested.

A study was conducted to identify the general characteristics of some dental hygiene students and to identify the factors affecting the achievement goal orientation and academic achievement according to the teaching method selection for increase the academic achievement of the subject in the special education environment caused by the COVID-19. In the second semester of 2020, a survey was conducted on 122 students of G University's dental hygiene department located in Gwangju, and the general characteristics and achievement goal orientation were surveyed. Academic achievement has used the midterm and final exam scores and the collected data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson's correlation test, Multiple Linear Regrission. According to the general characteristics, there was a significant difference in subject understanding, subject interest, and subject satisfaction, and learning satisfaction showed a strong correlation with the completion goal tendency. There was a significant difference in academic achievement according to the class choice, and the factor that influenced the academic achievement was the case that the teaching method was chosen face-to-face. Therefore, in order to improve learners' academic achievement, it is necessary to increase the proportion of face-to-face classes and to establish an effective lesson plan that can increase the degree of subject understanding, subject interest, and subject satisfaction.

The purpose of this study is to analyze how a well-structured cognitive reflection journal can affect a learner's metacognition and learning achievement in the area of Engineering Education. The objects of this study were 143 students in total (experimental group: 52, control group: 91) who are taking the 'Fundamental Semiconductor Engineering' course in the Engineering Department at D college in the metropolitan area. For his particular study, we undertook three steps as follows. First, we verified that the two groups of students were equal in areas of metacognition and learning achievement. Second, the experimental group was asked to keep writing the well-structured reflection journal for four weeks and the control group was not. Third, we evaluated the metacognition and learning achievement. This study used a questionnaire to measure metacognition by Sperling(2002) in a Korean translation as well as a well-structured cognitive reflection journal. As a result, we found that the well-structured cognitive reflection journal affects learners positively in the sense of metacognition ability, continuity as well as learning achievement.

We carried out mathematics diagnostic tests for all first year engineering students at C University in Daejeon in 2008, covering precalculus and basic calculus. Then we divided into two classes such as regular and supplementary classes. The supplementary class students are lower 13% students. Then we gave extra classes for these students to support their basic and elementary calculus skills. As a result, these supplementary students received a meaningful accomplishment at the final exam. This paper analyzes the results and effects of various types of supplementary classes such as education by level, and proposes some strategies to enhance mathematics learning, particularly for under achieving first year engineering students.

This study aims to examine English learning beliefs of Korean college students enrolled in e-learning courses and to investigate the relationship between their beliefs and L2 achievement. Horwitz's Beliefs about Language Learning Inventory was used to elicit students' beliefs about English learning and their grades in a final exam were employed for the English achievement measure. The data from one hundred sixteen respondents were analyzed through a factor analysis and the analysis revealed 5 factors: Motivation, learning strategies, English aptitude, foreign language aptitude, and communication strategies. The results showed that the most of the e-learning students had a high level of motivation and expectation in learning English but they believed that they had a low language aptitude. Statistically significant correlation was found between students' beliefs in motivation and their L2 attainment.
