The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of the use of artificial intelligence chatbots on improving Korean college students' English grammar skills. 70 undergraduate students participated in the present study. They were taking a General English class offered by a university in Korea. There were two groups in this study. Participants in the chatbot group consisted of 36 students while those in the human group were 34. Over 16 weeks, the chatbot group engaged in ten chat sessions with a chatbot while the human group had a chat with a human chat partner. Both pre- and post-tests were performed to examine changes in the participants' grammar skills over time. To compare the improvement between the two groups, an independent t-test was then run. Main findings are as follows: First, participants in both groups significantly improved their English grammar skills, indicating the beneficial effects of engaging in chat. Also, there was a statistically significant difference in the improvement between the chatbot and human groups, indicating the superior effects of the chatbot use. This study confirmed the improved grammar skills by the participants in the chatbot group, comparison with those in the human group. Based on these findings, suggestions for the future chatbot study are discussed.

As the importance of data grows because of the advent of the next industrial revolution, foreign countries are pushing for long-term data preservation technology research. On the other hand, in Korea, administrative information data sets have been legislated as records management areas without specific long-term preservation measures. As a response, this study conducted basic, cross-validation tests on the Software Independent Archiving of Relational Database (SIARD), which was proposed as an administrative information data set preservation format in several prior works. First, the underlying verification test focuses on deriving the data, structure, and functionality of the data set that SIARD can preserve. The second cross-validation test aimed at verifying the interoperability of SIARD independent of the DBMS class. In addition, two verification tests have confirmed the SIARD feature delivery range. Consequently, the differences between the feature types specified in the SIARD 2.0 standard and those provided by the actual SIARD Suite have been derived. Based on verification test results, we are proposing a development plan to broaden SIARD functionality and set a direction to efficiently enhance SIARD for local situations.

This study is a meta-analysis study conducted to integrate and analyze the results of flip-learning studies for Korean nursing students. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, CINAHL, and Korean databases. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and Non-Randomized controlled trials (Non-RCTs) evaluating the effects of flipped learning for Korean nursing students were included. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random-effects meta-analysis. The entire effect size in flipped learning was big in effect size (SMD = 1.21; 95% CI = 0.84 to 1.63; I2 = 93.9; n = 23) compared to the control groups. The analysis results of subgroups according to the classification of Bloom showed that flipped learning was found to have a significant effect on psychomotor domain, cognitive domain, and affective domain. A total of 10 literature analyses, this meta-analysis showed that flipped learning on Korean nursing students is effective in psychomotor, cognitive, and affective domain than the traditional teaching method. The flip learning can be integrated into theoretical and practical nursing education to improve the academic performance of nursing students.
