Objectives: There should be an objective analysis on the academic competency for incorporating Computer-based Test (CBT) in the education of traditional Korean medicine (TKM). However, the Item Response Theory (IRT) for analyzing latent competency has not been introduced for its difficulty in calculation, interpretation and utilization. Methods: The current study analyzed responses of 390 students of 8 years to the herbology test with 14 items by utilizing Rasch model, and the characteristics of test and items were evaluated by using characteristic curve, information curve, difficulty, academic competency, and test score. The academic competency of the students across gender and years were presented with scale characteristic curve, Kernel density map, and Wright map, and examined based on T-test and ANOVA. Results: The estimated item, test, and ability parameters based on Rasch model provided reliable information on academic competency, and organized insights on students, test and items not available with test score calculated by the summation of item scores. The test showed acceptable validity for analyzing academic competency, but some of items revealed difficulty parameters to be modified with Wright map. The gender difference was not distinctive, however the differences between test years were obvious with Kernel density map. Conclusion: The current study analyzed the responses in the herbology test for measuring academic competency in the education of TKM using Rasch model, and structured analysis for competency-based Teaching in the e-learning era was suggested. It would provide the foundation for the learning analytics essential for self-directed learning and competency adaptive learning in TKM.

This study has designed to find out the effects of a project-based flipped learning model at universities on the self-directed learning ability, the self-leadership, and the learning competency. For the study, two procedures were performed. First, a flipped learning model for a project-based learning was developed on the basis of the literature reviews. The flipped learning model has three different steps: the pre-class, the in-class, and the post-class. In the pre-class, instructors provide mini-core courses using various technologies for learners outside the class. The in-class is the step to check whether learners prepare their learning or not. Also, in this step, the in-death learning and the teaching-learning process by interaction between instructors and learners would be performed. In the post-class, learners would be able to sustain the extended learning to develop the learning tasks and activities after flipped learning class. Through this step, the learners could be experienced integrated thinking and application, documentation and management, as well as sharing and spread of their learning. Second, the effectiveness of the developed flipped learning model on the self-direction, the self-leadership, and the learning competency was examined. The quantitative research method and the qualitative research method were used for this study. The results indicated that the flipped learning model showed improvement on the self-direction, the self-leadership, and the learning competency.
