The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of the diagnostic and formative assessment on elementary science classes. For this purpose, we developed the diagnostic and formative assessment test and provided them to students before giving them the equivalent and learning achievement tests. The results are described as follows: First, for the science class that took the diagnostic assessment; the test provided help in improving the students' learning achievement. Second, for the science class that took the formative assessment; the test did not provide help in improving the students' learning achievement and in improving their openness to learning opportunity only to self-directed learning attitudes. Third, for the science class that were given both the diagnostic and formative assessment test; the tests provided help in improving the students' learning achievement. It also helped in improving their openness to learning opportunity, initiative for learning, and passion for learning except in problem-solving skills on self-directed learning attitude. Therefore, I recommend the utilization of the diagnostic and formative assessment tests be provided to students in order to improve learning achievement and self-directed learning attitudes in science classes.

This study ranked the degree to which flipped learning contributes to each learning area and, in contrast, to quantitatively examine how effectively these learning methods are used in flipped learning, had four-year university computer majors receive flipped learning. Existing flipped learning experiments have proven effectiveness, while there are also negative effects on effectiveness, which has led to a lot of debate. Effective experiments and classes therefore require more research and an accurate understanding of flipped learning. Analysis of the 123 samples recruited shows that flipped learning contributes to learning is in order of self-directing, collaboration, watching videos, and learning by teachers. Regression analysis of the degree to which learning method affects flipped learning effectiveness resulted in order of self-directed learning, lecture videos, and collaborative learning. This shows that flipped learning not only has the greatest influence on self-directed learning, but also self-directed learning has the greatest influence on flipped learning. It can also see that a collaborative learning and the role of video to prior learning tool is important. Through this study, we hope to understand flipped learning correctly and set learning methods and achievement goals. It is necessary to analyze the interaction between flipped learning and subdivided classroom activities.

The purpose of this study were to identify the effect of thesis-writing activity based project method on the ability of girl's middle school student's self directed learning(SDL) and learning attitude. To achieve above study purpose, the subject of this study were selected 60 from second-grade students of reading club(thesis-writing activities participants 30, non-participants 30), applied a program based project method to experimental group, to carry out a pre-post examined targeting two-group with early making a SDL ability and learning attitude inventory, and the results of the data were analyzed by t-test using the SPSS(Ver. 18). The results were as follows: In the aspect of SDL ability development by thesis-writing activity, the student participant showed somewhat significant differences compared to the non-participants. First, a openess, inner-motivation, autonomy, self-conception of SDL ability was significantly higher than those non-participants. Second, confidence, success expert, attention, effectiveness, affection of learning attitude was significantly higher than those non-participants. These results represent that various programs, which can develop SDL ability and learning attitude, can be provided for youth when they join any thesis-writing activity based project method in general and those programs are also very effective in developing SDL ability and learning attitude of juveniles. Furthermore, It is suggested that thesis-writing activity based project method are a necessary element at the school education fields.

The aim of this research is to see if there are any relationships between reading disposition, career attitude maturity and self-leading learning trait among gifted and general elementary school students. The research results show that: in reading disposition, gifted students showed higher result compared to the general students at reading interest and reading experience, but were not different in reading environment. Also, gifted students showed higher results in career attitude maturity in determination, purposes, assurance, but were not different in readiness and independence. Additionally, gifted students showed higher results at self-directed learning in 8 sub-categories, which are openness to learning, self notion, taking-initiative ability, responsibility, learning zeal, future-oriented self-knowledge, creativity, and self assessment. In addition, the research indicates that career attitude maturity is correlated with reading interest, reading experience and reading environment. Also, self-leading learning is correlated with reading interest, reading experience and reading environment. On the basis of this research, the following are suggested. The research was conducted for elementary school students in 4th~6th grades. Hence, the research needs to be extended to middle school and high school students. And, in order to guide students' careers and improve students' self-leading learning ability, those results need to be applied to real educational situations. In addition, research need to be done to find out what kind of books have more effect on career attitude maturity and self-directed learning trait.

The purpose of this study was to develop the level-defferentiated Web Based Instruction(WBI) program, to examine its effects on the science achievement self-directed learning characteristics, and the students’ perceptions on the WBI learning. For this purpose, the advanced and complementary WBI program of level-differentiated curriculum was developed to adapt to class fields and examine instruction facilitating efficiency. Designed and developed the WBI program make it possible to teach students according to the level-differentiated learning for the chapter, ‘weather and climate’ in high school science curriculum. The results of this study are as follows: First, level-differentiated WBI was effective to encourage self-concept, learning eagerness, future-oriented self-apprehension, creativity, self-assessment of the student’s self-directed teaming characteristics. There was no interaction effect of treatment and students’ learning ability at the self-directed learning characteristics. Second, the scores of science achievement of WBI group were significantly higher than those of conventional lecture group. There was interaction effect of treatment and students’ learning ability. However level-differentiated WBI has no effect on openness, initiative, responsibility of the student’s self-directed learning characteristics. There was interaction effect of treatment and students’ learning ability at the science achievement, Third, in the perception questionnaire of WBI teaming, many students showed the WBI teaming was good in terms of causing interaction between learners and web based learning materials including various images and animations. However there are several students who showed learning difficulties. For example they wonder which part is more important and what order is proper to study in hypertext environment.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of PBL (Problem-based Learning) strategy applied to the "Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory" class. Especially, the changes in 'self-directed learning ability' and 'attitudes toward science' of undergraduate students were examined. In addition, perception on PBL problem and the PBL classes were investigated. The results of this study were as follows: First, after the course, 'self-directed learning ability' and 'attitude toward science' of students were significantly improved (p < .05). There were significant improvements in every sub-categories except 'self-confidence as a learner' for 'self directed learning ability' and every sub-categories except 'usefulness of science' for 'attitude toward science'. Second, the students expressed that PBL strategy provided opportunities to learn self-directively and responsibly, but the process of defining the problem was difficult. Finally on the survey toward PBL strategy, the students responded that PBL problems were authentic and helpful to learn problem solving ability. In conclusion, PBL laboratory course is effective for developing self-directed learning ability and positive attitude toward science.

This descriptive research study identified the factors affecting the nursing process confidence of nursing students. The study's data was collected from June 13th 2017 to June 30th, 2017. Informed consent was received from 129 students who were in their second year of nursing college. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS WIN 18.0 program. The score for self-directed learning ability was 3.45, the score for a critical thinking disposition was 3.55, and the score for nursing process confidence was 3.68. There was significant positive correlation between nursing process confidence and self-directed learning ability (r=.572, p<.001) and critical thinking disposition (r=.488, p<.001). The factor affecting the confidence in the nursing process was self-directed learning ability(32.2%). Educational methods based on building the self-directed learning ability are needed to enhance the nursing process. There are limitations in discussing the results of this study due to the lack of prior research. Further study is needed to confirm the results of this research and the relationships it revealed.

Focusing upon the post-adoption stage of IS, this study reasoned that IS users' personality is one of major influencing factors of continuous IS usage intention and empirically examined how the degree of continuous IS usage intention is variable according to the IS users' personality types classified based on MBTI(Myers Briggs Type Indicator). In order to validate the research model and hypotheses, this study made a field survey of 330 IS users and statistically analysed response data. The results of empirical analyses showed that the intent of continuous IS usage was affected by self-efficacy of IS; and self-efficacy by self-leadership of IS; and self-leadership by IS user' personality type and expectation confirmation. That is, it was found that IS users' personality type and three intervening variables(expectation confirmation, self-leadership and self-efficacy) were significant predictors of the intent of continuous IS usage. This study is thought to be contributive to providing the theoretical basis of finding IS success factors in the post-adoption stage and the practical guideline for effective personnel management relevant to IS implementation.

This empirical study was designed to identify the key factors that affect entrepreneurial orientation of university students. An exploratory model was suggested to verify the relationship among the research variables including entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and entrepreneurial orientation(Innovativeness, Proactiveness, Risk-Taking Propensity) in order to attain the purpose of the study. This paper also aimed at investigating the possible difference between Korea and China in entrepreneurial process within this research framework. Total 440 university students participated in this study from both countries; Korea(n=224) and China(n=216). The hierarchical multiple regression was employed for estimating technique by using IBM SPSS statistics Version 23. The findings showed that entrepreneurship education works as a key predictor of entrepreneurial orien- tation and entrepreneurial self-efficacy as well. Also, entrepreneurial self-efficacy has a positive and significant mediating effect and goes on to further impact entrepreneurial orientation. So, entrepreneurship education should be enhanced extensively in order to promote entrepreneurship of young people. The theoretical and practical implication were presented.
