Clinical skills assessment was recently introduced to the Korean Medical License Examination to test medical school graduates' competencies in clinical skills. Various measures, including research and rehearsals, had been undertaken to prepare for the assessment for several years before the clinical skills assessment was first implemented. The assessment has been repeated annually for about 3,500 examinees over the course of 50 days per year for the past 4 years. The introduction of the assessment had significant effects on education in Korea's medical schools. Many schools have established clinical skills labs and the teaching of clinical skills has also been strengthened. The residents who have taken the clinical skills exam now express more confidence in caring for patients. To improve the quality of the assessment, it should be performed on a year-round schedule and a pilot test and various forms of the items should be introduced.

기존의 웹 기반 자기 주도적 학습은 학습 능력을 평가할 수 없을 뿐만 아니라, 시험 능력에 대한 평가도 시험점수로만 제공되어 학습 능력 평가의 객관성, 평가 기준의 모호성 등의 문제가 야기되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 학습자 스스로가 학습 능력을 조절하고 학습과정을 평가할 수 있는 자기 주도적 학습 및 시험 능력 평가에 대한 방법을 제안하고, 이를 정보 처리 기사 시험의 필기 과목에 적용하여 구현하였다. 제안된 자기 주도적 학습 및 시험 능력 평가방법은 소속함수와 퍼지추론을 이용하여 학습 시간 및 횟수, 시험 시간 및 점수에 대한 각각의 소속도를 계산하여 학습과 시험 각각에 대한 퍼지 소속도를 계산하고 학습 및 시험에 대한 최종 퍼지 소속도를 계산한다. 제안한 시스템은 기존의 방법에 비해 학습자 스스로 성취도를 평가하기에 용이하며 이후의 학습 계획을 정하는데도 도움이 된다. 이는 구현된 시스템의 이용자들을 대상으로 한 설문에서도 확인할 수 있었다.

Purpose: Competency in physical assessment is an important component of nursing practice. However, some physical assessment skills are not being utilized within the current teacher-centered, content-heavy curriculum. This study was conducted to identify the effects of student-centered, self-directed learning in the physical assessment class. Methods: An experimental study with a post-test only control group design was used to compare an intervention group that was provided self-directed learning classes and a control group that was provided traditional lecture and practice classes. Competency in physical assessment, academic self-confidence, and learning satisfaction were evaluated. Collected data were analyzed using $x^2$-test (Fisher's exact test) and independent t-test. Results: Competency in physical assessment was significantly higher in the experimental group. However, academic self-confidence and learning satisfaction were not significantly different between the groups. Conclusion: The findings in this study indicate that self-directed learning can improve nursing students competency in physical assessment and that self-directed learning is a good education method to improve nursing students' competency in physical assessment during clinical practice and perform quality patient care by making active use of physical assessment skills.

Since the late of 1960,s, the improvement of science inquiry skills has been one of the most important goals in secondary science education. To achieve this goal, it is essential to develop a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating science inquiry skills. The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating science inquiry skills for high school students. The instrument is developed through R & D procedure, which includes two field trials of the instrument. This study has formed a clear definition of the elements of science inquiry skills (formulating a hypothesis, controlling variables, designing an experiment, numeric calculation, graphing experimental data, inference, determining relationship, determining causalities, predicting experimental results , drawing a conclusion, formulating a generalization or model), and established the goals of assessment and developed the items of assessment. The instrument, Test of Earth Science Inquiry Skills, consists of 33 items which measure 11 science inquiry skills. There are content-free items for each science inquiry skills. This study has selected 11 science inquiry skills which are considered appropriate for being evaluated by paper-and-pencil test with SIEI (Hur,1984). The content validity of items, objectivity of the scoring keys and clarity of the items were checked by six experienced specialists in science education. At the same time, the two field trials has been executed and produced the reliability of the instrument, item difficulty index, and the effectiveness of distracters. The first field trial was performed using a sample of 304 high school students, and the second one using a sample of 872 high school students. Because the content validity is 84 % and the reliability (K-R 20) is 0.84, the developed instrument in this study is considered valid and reliable. The difficulty index is 49.4 %, answer ratio 59.1 %, the discrimination index 0.47 and the effectiveness of distracters evenly distributed, which also suffice the criteria of good instrument. The developed instrument in this study can diagnosis the well-developed science inquiry skills and the ill-developed science inquiry skills of the students, and trace the degree of the improvement of science inquiry skills.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify registered nurses learning needs about physical assessment. Specifically, what are the perceived competency, frequency of skill use and the unmet training needs. Methods: The study was an exploratory survey study. The sample was 104 registered nurses. Data were collected through three instruments: The Perceived Competency in Physical Assessment Scale, the Frequency of Physical Assessment Scale, and the Training Needs of Physical Assessment Scale which incorporated 30 core Physical Assessment skills. Descriptive statistics, t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data. Results: Auscultation of heart and lung sounds and inspection of the spine were rated by the subjects as physical assessment skills they feel least competent and also were less frequently performed. The most competent area for physical assessment was neurological system. The respiratory and abdominal system was identified as two systems that more education would be needed. Nurses with less than one year of working experience reported needing more training. Nurses with more than five years of clinical work experience performed physical assessment more frequently than nurses with less than five year of work experience. The perceived competency was positively related to the frequency of physical assessment. Conclusion: Continuing education is necessary to further train registered nurses regarding physical assessment skills and the program needs to be focused on the area which nurses are less competent for and have high training need.

This study aims to discuss the basic foundations to set levels and language skills for developing a Korean Proficiency Test for young and adolescent learners. Recently, there has been an increase in demand regarding young and adolescent learners from multicultural and overseas backgrounds. However, the current Korean Proficiency Test lacks the appropriate means to determine the Korean proficiency of young and adolescent learners with general purposes of language learning. Therefore, there is an urgent need for developing a specialized and new form of language assessment for young and adolescent learners who are exposed to a foreign language or a second language learning environment. The study examines and analyzes cases of foreign language examinations for young & adolescent learners; furthermore, the objectives and target were set based on the results of a needs analysis and in-depth interviews conducted among teachers and education officials in overseas Korean Hangeul Schools, international schools, elementary and secondary schools. Finally, the levels and language skills appropriate for the objectives of a proficiency test and target learners have been suggested.

본 연구의 목적은 실험 평가를 이용하여 탐구과정 기능을 측정하고, 인지 수준과 탐구과정 기능의 성취도와의 관계를 알아보는 것이다. 연구 대상은 인지 수준과 지역을 유층으로 하여 중학교 2학년 162명을 표집하였다. 실험 평가는 SISS에서 사용한 실험 과정기능검사 문항을 수정 보완한 산 염기, 밀도, 염화코발트의 성질에 관한 3가지 과제를 이용하여 순환 실험 형식으로 수행하였다. 탐구과정 기능은 D(계획), P(수행), R(추론) 등의 하위 기능을 포함한다. 실험 평가의 채점은 학생용 보고서를 이용하였으며, 5명의 평가자가 채점한 결과의 평균값으로 분석을 하였다. 연구의 결과 인지 수준이 발달함에 따라 탐구과정 기능의 전체 점수와 하위 기능인 D(계획), P(수행), R(추론)의 성취도가 모두 통계적으로 유의미하게 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 인지 수준을 통제하고 탐구과정 기능의 성취도를 비교한 결과 지역간에 탐구과정 기능의 성취도 차이와 남녀간에 탐구과정 기능의 성취도 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 결과를 통해, 실험 평가를 통한 탐구과정 기능의 성취도는 인지 수준에 크게 영향을 받으므로 탐구과정 기능을 향상시키기 위해서는 학습자의 인지 수준을 고려하는 것이 매우 중요한 일임을 알 수 있다.
