  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the design and effects of the art therapy program by making analysis framework based on the previous studies. This study aims to establish a clinical · theoretical foundation for introducing the programs for multicultural clients. This study did an literature review based on a journal paper. These papers were published from 2006 to 2018 and collected through the domestic database homepage, Riss. Dissertations were excluded from this study. This study was divided into three categories: basic information(publication year, publisher), research subject, study method(research methodology, major variables), programs(convergence of therapy techniques, session analysis, keyword analysis). First, according to the analysis results of the year of publication, research on multicultural families has been active since 2011, and conducted passively until 2016. After that, research has been actively conducted on children of them. These results reflect that the children of them are experiencing psychological difficulties. Second, the difficulties of the client were investigated according to the main variables of the program for the clients and the convergence of treatment techniques on art therapy. Art therapy program based on their psychological difficulties will be more effective for them. Third, group art therapy was the most common among the key words in the thesis. The program was structured so that they could reach the goal by receiving encouragement among the members through the program. Finally, the amount of thesis to which qualitative research methodology is applied is insufficient compared to other methodology. Most researches used questionnaires to statistically measure the psychological difficulties of the subjects. However, there is a limit to developing research when using only quantitative research methodology to demonstrate the effectiveness of the program. In order to analyze the dynamics of the group, we must consider the advantages of the qualitative research methodology.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence elementary school learners' participation in cyber home study, and to suggest possible solutions to problem of the participation rates. To identify the factors, we analyzed the literature and developed a questionnaire consisting of 8 possible factors and 33 items. Data gathered from 429 elementary school learners were analyzed in a logistic regression model, which was utilized to determine the probability of the learner's participation in cyber home study because of any of the identified variables. We studied the following variables: problem from learning motivation & attitude, burden from computer, difficulty of new learning method, problem from instructional design, difficulty of interaction, problem from screen design, and problem from learning environment. The results indicated that two factors were important: burden from computer, difficulty of new learning method. That is to say, having a low level of burden of computer and difficulty of new learning method helps improve the rate of elementary school learners' participation in cyber home study.

  • The purpose of this study is to test the effect of pedagogical agent realism and expertise on persona effect. There were two perspectives of the pedagogical agents' social interaction. Self-identification hypothesis argues that complexity of agent image is better to increase social interaction. Subjective identification insists that simplified image is more helpful to facilitate social interaction. However, from the cognitive load theory perspective, learners' expertise can be a major factor to determine persona effect. Sixty-eight college students (male=19 and female=49) participated. The independent variables were the degree of realism of pedagogical agent (detailed vs. simplified image) and the expertise (high prior knowledge group vs. low prior knowledge group). The dependant variables were comprehension test and the agent persona instrument (API). There was no significant difference in comprehension test score; however, there were significant interaction effect on the most constructs of API: 1) facilitating of learning, 2) credible, and 3) human-like. The follow-up analysis of simple main effect revealed that high expertise group showed significantly higher perception of the three construct with high realism of pedagogical agent. The results of study show that learners' expertise plays a key role of perception of persona effect.

  • This study aims to analyze differences in the social presence of instructor by instructor's social intervention, the effects of the social presence of instructor on learning satisfaction, and learner characteristics related to the social presence of instructor. Data including subjects' demographic information, interactions, social presence of instructor, social presence of the course, and learning satisfaction were collected from 119 adult learners in an online university in Korea. The main findings of this study are as follows. First, the social presence of instructor was higher in the higher-aged group or active group on intranet message board than the lower-aged group or inactive group on the board. Second, instructor's social intervention increased the level of perceived social presence of instructor. However, the active group on the board has shown the highest level of perceived social presence of instructor, without instructor's social intervention. Third, there was a high correlation between instructor's social intervention and the social presence of instructor, while the variables affecting learning satisfaction were the social presence of instructor and social presence of the course. From the results of this study, it is suggested that instructors' social interventions be provided systematically for those who are not active in social interaction to enhance their learning satisfaction.

  • The purpose of this study is to propose a structural theoretical model that can explain the learning flow of online distance education participants and to clarify the structural causal relationship among related variables that affect the learning flow of cyber university learners. Study results found a modified final model with a statistically significant fit based on the structural research model proposed in this study explained the learning flow of cyber university learners. Second, as a result of verifying the relationship between learning motivation and learning flow of cyber university learners, it was found that intrinsic motivation had a significant positive effect on learning flow. Third, as a result of the empirical verification on the relationship between academic self-efficacy and learning flow of cyber university learners, it was found that academic self-efficacy had a significant effect on learning flow. Fourth, as a result of empirical verification on the relationship between self-directed learning and the learning flow of cyber university learners, it was found that the learner's self-directed learning ability had a significant effect on learning flow. Such research results can be used to suggest a strategic direction for successful settlement and diffusion of a new paradigm of online non-face-to-face distance education, which has recently attracted attention.

  • This study examined the effect service learning combined with self-directed study had on transferring skills from the university classroom to their practical application in local community centers. The subjects of this study were students who took service learning classes from September 1, 2019 to December 28, 2019. The research question in this paper is 'What is the relationship between service learning-based general classes and self-directed learning?'. That is, how do service learning-based general classes affect sub-elements of self-directed learning? We then tried to determine how the variables of individual learners can affect self-directed learning ability. The results showed that autonomy and problem solving were the greatest at r=.66. Openness and self-assessment (r=.60), autonomy and self-assessment (r=.55) had significant correlation. Learner autonomy had a significant correlation with facilitation and collaboration of service learning (**p<.01). According to this result of the study, it is possible for learners to deepen what they have learned at school and to practice and gain experience through community service. Further, practical problem solving and self-assessment through reflection are possible. Learners were able to inspire responsibility as members of society and increase self-esteem as democratic citizens.

  • The purpose of this study sought to analyze the achievement of educational training of IS-Geo's (International School for Geoscience Resources; IS-Geo's) according to the structural relationships between these components by incorporating variables and those that affect learning outcomes from the Learning ecological perspective. Therefore, from January 2014 to December 2015, data analysis was conducted based on the data collected by the questionnaire for class satisfaction, which was conducted after the operation of the educational training program. The principal result is as follows. First of all, Interventions that affect learning outcomes from the learning ecology perspective have resulted in internal factors of both learning motivation and learning development, intermediate factors of both contents of education and learning curriculum, external factors of both learner support and quality of instructors. The structural relationships between the designed factors of performance indicators of interdisciplinary achievement and sub-factors have been influenced in the structural implications of internal factors, intermediate factors, and external factors that affect the learning outcomes of educational trainees who participated in the educational training programs of IS-Geo's. Also, internal factors, intermediate factors, and external factors have directly affected learning outcomes for educational trainees.

  • Recently, flipped learning has been paid much attention as one of the improvement methods of teaching and learning at university level. Few studies investigated the effects of flipped learning in general physics classes. However, in order to be successfully established and spread new attempts such as flipped learning, it is necessary to investigate in detail the effect of flipped learning and the way it is perceived by students in accordance with other variables such as student's background and characteristic. In this study, we investigated differences in students' perception on the flipped learning and their achievement according to their background and characteristic in flipped-learning-based introductory physics course in which class hours are divided into lecture and group problem solving equally. Students' achievement was more influenced by their readiness before the beginning of the semester than their time consuming for learning during the semester. Students generally had a very positive perception of the new way of flipped-learning-based physics teaching. However, students of insufficient prior learning, or relatively not-hard learner agreed with careful selection of subjects rather than the overall expansion of flipped learning.

  • In order to explore the learning attitude of the learners and the effects of conscious learning attitudes on academic achievement in On-line education system of open high school, we analyze the log data of 2,965 first graders who studied English, Math, Integrated Society and Integrated Science during the first semester of 2018. This study examines the learning status according to the learner's background variables, and analyzes the number of lessons per hour, learning progress rate, learning period, learning start month, and formative evaluation results for each class. In addition, to verify the effects of conscious learning attitude on academic achievement, skewness and kurtosis are calculated by using learning frequency values for each class. As a result, in almost all fields, the average number of lessons per class, study duration, progress rate, and grades, women are higher than men. In addition, the older ones are, the higher they are and the Seoul area is higher than the other area. The average learning period is 2~3 months, and the longer the learning period, the higher the formative evaluation score. Lastly, even though the number of learning is lower than that of learners who concentrate on a certain period of time, the formation scores of learners who learn consciously are higher.

  • This study aims to provide educational implications for more strategic online software education by the types of online learning according to learners' self-regulated learning characteristics in the online software education environment and examining the characteristics of each type. For this, variables related to self-regulated learning characteristic were extracted from the log data of 809 students participating in the online software learning program of K University, and then analyzed using hierarchical cluster analysis. Based on hierarchical cluster analysis learner clusters according to the characteristics of self-regulated learning were derived and the differences between learners' learning characteristics and learning results according to cluster types were examined. As a result, the types of self-regulated learning of online software learners were classified as 'high level self-regulated learning type (group 1)', 'medium level self-regulated learning type (group 2)', and 'low level self-regulated learning type (group 3)'. The achievement level was found to be highest in 'high-level self-regulated learning type (group 1)' and 'low-level self-regulated learning type (group 3)' was the lowest. Based on these results, the implications for effective online software education were suggested.
