The purpose of this study was to develop practical problem-based home economics teaching.learning process plans about a unit 'the youth and consumer life' of middle school eighth-grade Technology and Home Economics by applying blended learning(BL) strategy. According to ADDIE instructional design model, this study was conducted in the following procedure: analysis, design/development, implementation, and evaluation. In the stage of design and development, the selected unit was converted into a practical problem-based unit, and practical problem-based teaching. learning process plans were designed in detail by using BL strategy. An online study room for practical problem-based home economics instruction grounded in BL strategy was prepared by using Edunet(http://community.edunet4u.net/${\sim}$consumer2). Eight-session lesson plans were mapped out, and study aids for students and materials for teachers were prepared. In the implementation stage, the first-session teaching plans that dealt with a minor question 'what preparations should be made to become a wise consumer' were utilized when instruction was provided to 115 eighth graders who were in three different province, and the other one was in a middle school in the city of Daejeon. The experimental teaching was implemented for two weeks in the following procedure: preliminary program, pre-online learning, main instruction and post- online learning. The preliminary program was carried out in a session in the classroom, and pre-online learning was provided before the main instruction was given in a session in the classroom. After the main instruction was completed, post-online learning was offered. In the evaluation stage, a survey was conducted on all the learners and teachers to find out their opinions and suggestions.

사회가 변화함에 따라 수학교육과정도 변화를 거듭하고 있으며, 이러한 변화에 잘 대처하기 위해서 교사는 수학교육의 방향에 대한 깊이 있는 성찰과 함께 수학, 교육학, 심리학 등 수학교육과 관련된 학문에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 이러한 교사에 대한 시대적인 요구에 능동적으로 대처하는 방안으로 Wittmann(1984)은 수학교과의 특성상 변하지 않는 요소들을 교수단위(Teaching Units)라 하고, 수학교육을 통합시키는 개념으로 교수단위이론으로 제시하였다. 교수단위는 수학에서 가르쳐야 할 내용들을 목적, 자료, 활동, 배경 등의 4요소에 따라 작은 단위로 조직화한 것으로, 이를 통해 수학연구자나 교사는 가르쳐야 할 내용에 대한 구조적인 이해와 체계적인 조직화를 도모할 수 있게 되어 나아가 사회의 변화에 대응할 수 있게 된다. 본 연구에서는 2007년 개정 수학과 교육과정 도형영역의 교수단위를 학년별로 추출하고, 추출된 교수단위의 특징과 제목을 분석하였다. 이를 통해 교수단위가 수학교육과정연구에 어떻게 활용될 수 있는지 그 방안을 모색해 보았다. 도형영역의 교수단위(TU)는 특징과 제목에 따라 '개념알기형', '개념적용형', '관계알기형'의 세 유형으로 분류할 수 있다. 현재의 도형영역 교육과정은 대체로 개념알기형, 개념적용형, 관계알기형의 순으로 구성되어 있으며, 개념적용형이 개념알기형보다 조금 더 많다. 이는 도형영역 교육과정이 학습한 개념을 다양한 방법을 통해 여러 활동에 적용시켜 봄으로써 도형의 개념을 좀 더 명확하게 알게 되는 초등학생의 발달단계를 고려하여 구성되었음을 알 수 있다. 이러한 교수단위(TU)는 수업자가 도형학습주제에 맞게 수업을 재구성하거나 학생들의 수준에 맞는 수준별 맞춤자료를 제작할 때 유용하게 활용될 수 있으며, 더 나아가 수학연구자들이 새로운 교육과정을 수립하고자 할 때 기초자료로 활용될 수도 있을 것이다. 교수단위는 고정불변의 것이 아니고 계속 보완되고 진화될 수 있는 모델이다. 따라서 앞으로도 많은 수학연구자나 현장교사의 참여로 교수단위가 보다 더 체계적이고 조직적으로 연구되어야 한다. 또한 추출된 교수단위를 교사나 학생들이 보다 편리하게 활용할 수 있도록 컴퓨터용 소프트웨어로 개발하려는 후속 연구가 필요하다.

The purpose of this study is to explore non-major students' perception and experiences in college software education. For this, we analyzed the reflection journals of 36 non-major students in D University based on the Consensual Qualitative Research(CQR). As a result, there was not general core concept to all students nor a typical core concept that appeared to more than 50% students. However, various variable core concepts could be derived. Overall, 57 variable concepts were derived from experience in SW education and 7 variable concepts for perception of SW education. Based on this result, we found many of non-major students feel difficulty from unfamiliarity to SW education. Also, many students have satisfaction in their perception to SW education about personalized learning that their professor provided in the class. Lastly, we conclude that a methodology for SW education needs to have a careful operation strategy and interactive design. Although this study has not been able to elucidate general core concepts that appear to all learners, it has significant implication in terms of providing various implicit core concepts and suggestions for effective software education for non-major students.

Objectives: This study was conducted to develop a participatory learning process and apply it to community empowerment for health promotion. Methods: The participatory learning sessions were composed of three stages according to the modified Freirean model of empowerment education. Stage 1 of generating themes (listening stage) was replaced with a community health forum. Stage 2 of problem-posing was executed via a two-session small group brainstorming discussion for selecting priority community health problems and strategies to solve them. Stage 3 of act-reflect-act, the implementation of the chosen strategies, is ongoing. We tested the feasibility of the participatory learning processes in the pilot programs for health education. Then, 14 Myeon (or Dong) Health Committee members used them in Health Plus Happiness Plus projects for community empowerment to achieve health equity in Gyeongsangnam-Do, Korea. Results: In the pilot program for feasibility, more than 80% of the 95 participants gave positive responses to evaluation questionnaires after three or four participatory learning sessions. Health Committee members successfully selected various strategies relevant to their communities with facilitation, but without any teaching from outside professionals. Conclusions: We successfully applied the participatory learning process to health promotion. However, more studies are warranted to evaluate its long-term applicability.

Researchers in science education have recently focused on service learning as an important educational approach to address environmental challenges including climate change. However, there are a limited number of studies focused on service learning in science education in Korea. In this study, based on existing related literature, the theoretical background of service learning is introduced and a conceptual framework that can be applied in the science education environment in Korea as a new approach to address environmental challenges is proposed. Given this, 112 relevant academic documents collected by searching a global database were analyzed. As a result, the theoretical background of service learning rooted in Dewey's experiential learning is introduced. Specifically, service learning is defined as a form of experiential learning that supports students in helping communities with structured services related to learning content, while at the same time fostering their in-depth understanding of content and engaging in civic and social responsibility as members of their community. In addition, a conceptual framework for service learning to address environmental challenges that can be applied to the science education environment in Korea is proposed. The proposed framework classifies the members of service learning into schools, students, and communities, and presents knowledge, experience, and learning through critical reflection as its core elements. It is important to actively implement service learning in science education to address various environmental challenges including climate change, biodiversity loss, air pollution, and deforestation, as just a few pressing challenges. Therefore, based on the proposed conceptual framework for service learning, studies that apply and verify diverse forms of educational approaches to addressing environmental challenges in local communities at school sites are needed.

This paper applied to the economics subject using PBL(Problem-Based Learning) for improving students many skills in Mongolian University that 21st century demands. For the first time at Mongolian University, the PBL problem was developed for the use of PBL and applied to the class and confirmed its effectiveness. The study subjects were 60 freshman students in D university who took 'Economics'. We applied 5 problems for 16 weeks. Students wrote and submitted a reflective journal when they finished the every activity. In addition, they completed a class evaluation form after the PBL program ended. The study showed that they experienced various effects such as understanding of learning contents, understanding of cooperative learning, practical experience, creative problem solving ability, presentation skill, communication ability, self- directed learning ability, self - confidence. In the PBL learning activities, the learning environment was not well prepared yet, so some difficulties were encountered. Mongolian students perceived it as a new and effective way to develop their expertise as a future leader in the 21st century. The main goal of Mongolian university is to produce leaders with professional talent with creative problem solving ability and active learning direction.

The purpose of this study is to examine about various barriers recognized by university faculty members while implementing PBL. By adopting the inductive content analysis, this study has analyzed the contents related with the barriers about PBL implementing in the teaching reflection reports submitted by 32 professors of B university. After the analysis, the barriers have been summarized into 5 major topics such as 'teaching beliefs,' 'classroom culture,' 'learning facilitation,' 'assessment,' 'school environment.' Results suggest: First, a study on the specific solutions for the barriers summarized by 5 major topics should be launched. Second, a teaching competency development program to resolve the barriers should be supported. Third, an innovation of physical school environment and school policy appropriate for PBL implementing should be involved. Fourth, a study on the barriers about PBL implementing should be further expanded.

The purposes of the study are to introduce and apply an activity that can help improve student-initiated learning on the TOEIC Speaking Test (TOEICST) performance and to see students' attitude toward the activity. Twenty-eight university students in Chungcheong province engaged in learning based on this activity. In the present study, the activity proposed by McCormick and Vercellotti (2013) and Stillwell, Curabba, Alexander, Kidd, Kim, Stone, & Wyle (2010) was modified and adapted[14][19]. The outline of the Task Recording Activity (TRA) consisted of three steps: preparation step, Task Recording Activity step, and evaluation step. As data collection of the study, a survey and students' journal were utilized and qualitatively analyzed. The results showed that student-initiated learning activity could be applied positively not only in communicative lessons, but in TOEICST specific lessons as well. Additionally, participants showed positive attitudes toward self-transcription and self-correction. Some implications of the study are that the TRA can be applied to generate autonomous learners studying for the TOEIC Speaking Test, that the guideline for different proficiency can be developed to help them improve their self-reflection, and that students need to have an active attitude to lead their own learning.

In order to live up to public expectations, universities dedicate their best efforts to cultivating all Essential Competencies for outstanding individuals, especially reorganizing and improving their general education curricula and methods of teaching and learning, in light of the fact that a cutting-edge technology in a specific field does not bear a long span in the modern society. Through a Grounded Theory approach, the aim of this research is to study undergraduates' Experience Process of Action Learning designed to foster their Essential Competencies. With broadly selected 15 students from the courses for Essential Competencies, the method of theoretical sampling was employed so as to secure the diversity of the subjects' characteristics and backgrounds. After in-depth interviews, the data from the subjects were analyzed on the basis of Grounded theory approach of Strauss and Corbin. The conclusions of this analysis are as follows; Firstly, a learning coach should play a different role depending on the levels of Action Learning. Secondly, some time for introspection should be taken for the effective operation of Action Learning. Thirdly, learners ought to solve the problems faced during the learning process on their own. Fourthly, the aims of courses for Essential Competencies are also needed to be focused.
