The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of social support of students majoring in physical education on their major satisfaction and intention to continue learning, and to prevent dropout of students majoring in physical education in the credit banking system and to find effective management methods. The research tools were verified by confirmatory factor analysis, concentration validity, discriminant validity, average variance extraction (AVE), concept reliability, and Cronbach's coefficient for validity and reliability verification of the research tools. The data processing method was conducted by using IBM SPSS Statistics 21 and IBM AMOS 21 to verify reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation model (SEM) through frequency analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, concentration validity, discriminant validity, Cronbach's coefficient calculation. The results are as follows. First, the study model was tested and the criteria were met for verifying the suitability of the relationship between social support, major satisfaction and learning persistence intention of the professors majoring in physical education in credit banking system. Second, as a result of the verification of Hypothesis 1, the social support of the professor of the physical education major in the credit banking system has a significant effect on the major satisfaction. The results of the verification of Hypothesis 2 showed that the social support of the professor of the physical education major in the credit banking system affects on the learning persistence. As a result of the verification of Hypothesis 3, it has been shown that major satisfaction has a significant effect on the learning persistence.

Digital transformation is about revolutionizing the interaction between virtual and reality. The complex problems that arise in this process must be solved, and one of the methods is computing thinking. Therefore, this study aims to observe whether software education that uses unplugged as liberal education is effective in enhancing computing thinking. For this, 5 elements of computing thinking were extracted and unplugged was applied to liberal software classes, and classes were conducted. During one semester, 16 sessions of classes were conducted and computing thinking enhancement was measured through surveys. As a result, the computing thinking of the students increased overall after classes. Observation surveys showed that, among computing thinking elements, students of all academic fields felt difficulties conceptualizing abstraction elements, those of arts and physical education felt more difficulties with algorithm elements, and those of the humanities felt more difficulties with pattern recognition elements. In the future, various contents for each element should be developed by academic field to aid learner understanding.
