  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of real-time remote video instruction using zoom on learners' English reading achievement. The study also sought to identify the efficiency of zoom video lectures and consider supplementing them by surveying learners' opinions and satisfaction regarding zoom video lectures. To this end, control and experimental groups were set up, and two achievement tests and a questionnaire were conducted. The study's results demonstrated that zoom video lectures have a positive effect on learners' English reading achievement. The questionnaire found that learners are satisfied with zoom video lectures for the following reasons: 'increased interest in and motivation towards learning', 'self-directed learning', 'active interaction', 'ease of access', 'ease of information retrieval'. At the same time, the questionnaire also found that some learners are dissatisfied with zoom video lectures due to 'mechanical errors or defects', 'poor audio quality', and 'the need to add customized functions for efficient classes'. In practice, zoom video lectures must be supplemented with automatic attendance processing, convenient data upload and download, and more efficient video screen management. Given the recent increase in online classes, we, as instructors, must develop teaching activities and/or strategies for video lectures that can encourage active participation by learners.

  • Despite intensive inquiry, we still know relatively little about the entrepreneurship. The lack of progress in entrepreneurship may be due to the theories and methods used to identify those characteristics. But the appropriate approach for studying entrepreneurial behavior remains contentious. This study model used three themes (achievement motivation, risk-taking propensity, and preference for innovation) in order to measure a proclivity for entrepreneurship. In this study there was a significant difference in the plan for venture creation and the confidence for venture creation between high-entrepreneurship group and low-entrepreneurship group. In addition, It is found that proclivity for entrepreneurship is significantly related to create new venture and to build up confidence regarding venture creation.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop questionnaire items for the Pilot Aptitude Personality Test(PAPT) which can predict the flight training achievement through personality and personal characteristics. To do this, we investigated the personality traits required to successfully conduct flight training for 30 flight instructors as a subject. The results were as follows: motivation, concentration, concentration, situational awareness, and concentration. Based on this, preliminary 300-item questionnaire was prepared by combining the existing studies related to pilot aptitude. Survey was conducted using preliminary questionnaire for 152 student pilots as a subject. As a result of the correlation analysis between the results of the questionnaire and the flight training, 16 questions were derived. Finally, factor analysis showed that the final 14 questionnaire items were confirmed. The internal concept of an item is categorized as personality, perception, and motivation. This study suggests that the pilot aptitude should be viewed from an extended point of view by analyzing individual characteristics and pilot aptitude in relation to flight training achievement.

  • The study is to investigate the effects of the constructivist instructional model using ARCS strategies (attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction) on the environmental conservation of environment textbooks of middle school. The subjects of this study were applied to 135 students sampled 2nd graders of a middle school in Busan. All students were divided three groups according to teaching strategies. The first experimental group is consisted of students who participated in the traditional teaching program, the second is students who participated in the constructivist teaching program, and the third is students who participated in the constructivist teaching program with ARCS strategies. The pre-conceptions test was administered to examine students' pre-conceptions before the instructions. After the instructions, students' acquisition of scientific conceptions, academic achievement, and learning motivation were also tested. On average, the degrees of academic achievement for the group with ARCS strategies were higher than those of other groups and shown a significant difference among three programs. Thus the constructivist teaching program with ARCS strategies was more effective programs in acquisition of environmental conservation conception and learning motivation than the two other teaching programs.

  • The purposes of this study were to investigate the intercorrelations among various motivational patterns and learning strategies and to examine the differences in motivation and strategy usage in terms of students' science achievement level, gender, and grade. A questionnaire on achievement goal, self-efficacy, self-concept of ability, expectancy, value, causal attributions, and learning strategies was administered to 360 junior high/high school students (178 males, 182 females). Students who adopted performance-oriented goal tended not to be task oriented. Task-oriented students had high levels of self-efficacy, high self-concept of ability, and expectancies for future performance in science. They also valued science and attributed thier failures to the lack of effort. However, performance-oriented students evaluated their ability negatively, did not value science, and attributed thier failures to uncontrollable causes. With respect to learning strategy, task-oriented students tended to use deep-level strategy, whereas performance-oriented students tended to use surface-level strategy and not to use deep-level strategy. High-achieving students, boys, and junior high school students were more task-oriented, evaluated their ability more positively, and valued science more than low-achieving students, girls, and high school students, respectively. High-achieving students and boys also used deep-level strategy more than each of their counterparts. However, no significant difference in learning strategy was found between junior high school students and high school students. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.

  • The purpose of the study is to identify the influence of learning participation on learning outcomes in programming courses. Based on the literature review, learning participation is composed of three sub components: participation in preview, class, and review. Learning outcomes are categorized by academic achievement, learning satisfaction, and learning motivation. A survey was conducted with 267 students enrolled in programming courses from three IT departments at Myongji College. Findings revealed that participation in review and participation in class predicted all sub components of learning outcomes. Participation in review was found to have a greater effect on learners' achievement and participation in class was found to have a greater impact on learning satisfaction and motivation. However, the results showed that participation in class was not an influential factor for learning outcomes. Implications for enhancing learning participation and suggestions for future research are also discussed.
