The purpose of this study was to examine the recognition about food preparation and cooking ability of college students majoring in food & nutrition and others. Data were collected from 729 students residing in Chonbuk area by using a self-administered questionnaire. Food and nutrition major students got significantly higher scores than non-major. ones in the recognition of significance and interest in cooking activity. Both food and nutrition major and non-major female students recognized the necessity of cooking ability than non-major male students. Sixty eight percent of the subjects answered that they have aided often his or her family to cook at home. The students majoring in food and nutrition were interested in various fields such as Korean, western style and fusion food. Most of the respondents teamed how to cook from family at home; however major students have learned cooking not only from family but also from various channels such as culinary school, TV and books. The practical use of knowledge about food science was very low in most respondents. The cooking methods used frequently were sauteing, broiling and deep-fat-frying. This study showed that both food and nutrition major and non-major students recognized the necessity of cooking ability and had interests in cooking activity, but cooking ability of non-major ones was significantly lower than that of major students, and the traditional consciousness that women have to take charge of cooking at home tends to be decreasing.

This study tried to find a way to increase major satisfaction to overcome the difficulties of college due to the recent decrease in the number of educated population. In particular, problem-solving ability and digital literacy, which are essential in the era of the 4th industrial revolution, were set as influencing factors and mediators and tried to verify them. Therefore, in order to find out the effect of problem-solving ability on major satisfaction and the mediating effect of digital literacy, a study was conducted targeting junior college secretarial majors. A total of 193 questionnaires were analyzed, and regression analysis was performed to verify the hypothesis, and bootstrapping was performed using the SPSS PROCESS macro model 4 to verify the significance of the mediating effect. The results of the study are as follows. First, it was found that problem-solving ability had a positive(+) effect on major satisfaction. Second, problem-solving ability was found to have a positive(+) effect on all four sub-factors of digital literacy. Third, as a result of analyzing the mediating effect of digital literacy in the relationship between problem-solving ability and major satisfaction, among the four sub-factors of digital literacy, information literacy, critical understanding, and information analysis ability completely mediated between problem-solving ability and major satisfaction. has been shown to be effective. On the other hand, the ability to comply with norms was found to have no mediating effect. In this study, it was verified that problem-solving ability affects major satisfaction, and it was found that it is necessary to make various efforts to cultivate problem-solving ability.

Purpose: This study was designed to explore the effects of core competencies on adaptation of the major, career identity and career search ability in nursing students. Methods: A correlational research design was used with the convenient sample of 360 nursing students. After explaining the purpose of this study to the participants, those who signed the consent form were provided with a self-descriptive questionnaire. Results: The highest average score of leadership of core competencies was 5.5 on 7 point-scale. The lowest average score of problem-solving ability was 4.4. There were significant correlations between adaptation of the major, career identity, and career search ability and core competencies, with the exceptions of nursing students. Adaptation of the major could be explained 25% by the instrument application ability, leadership, organizational structure, teamwork and career development. Career identity could be explained 13% by leadership, responsibility, teamwork, and career development. Career search ability could be explained 12% by responsibility, conflict management, teamwork, communication ability and career development. Conclusion: Based on the results, core competencies showed statistically significant effects on adaptation of the major, career identity and career search ability in nursing students.

This study was conducted to identify the level of problem-solving ability, critical thinking and satisfaction level of students majoring in dental hygiene, and to identify the impact of problem-solving ability and critical thinking on major satisfaction levels. The research target collected data through a structured questionnaire for 259 students majoring in dental hygienics located in North and South Gyeongsang Province. The analysis results showed that the problem-solving ability of the study subjects was 2.56, critical accidents were 2.58, and the major satisfaction level was 2.32, and the problem-solving ability, critical thinking and major satisfaction level were positively correlated with each other. Among the lower factors of problem solving ability, solution performance and solution model were significant factors that could improve major satisfaction, and among the lower factors of critical thinking, intellectual fairness, intellectual passion/interest, and systematicness were significant factors that could improve major satisfaction. Critical thinking also significantly mediated problem solving ability and major satisfaction level (β=).2602, BCCI [.0908~.4529]). Based on the results, it is believed that dental hygiene education needs to be developed in addition to the establishment of an educational environment that can enhance the ability to solve problems and critical thinking, and that research should be continued to check its effects.

Purpose : This study was purposed to analyze the effectiveness of PBL (Problem-Based Learning) classes and to derive class improvement plans. Methods : The subjects of the study were 48 students who took the 4th grade clinical dental hygiene course at S University located in Chungcheongnam-do of South Korea in 2021. A single-group pre and post experimental study was designed to verify whether there were significant changes in the research variables of students who participated in the class to which problem-based learning was applied. A paired-sample t-test was conducted for the collected data of 46 respondents. Results : As a result, the degree of improvement in problem clarification, cause analysis, and alternative development among the five sub-areas of problem-solving ability was statistically significant. This means that the problem-based learning class positively affects dental hygiene major students' ability to clarify problems, the ability to analyze causes to collect and analyze information, and the ability to develop alternatives to make decisions, thereby improving overall problem-solving abilities. However, the improved post-score was not statistically significant in the planning/execution and performance evaluation of the remaining two subdomains. In addition, post-scores of the leader aspect, opinion exchange, opinion evaluation, and opinion integration, which are sub-domains of collaborative self-efficacy, all showed great statistical significance. Problem-based learning improved the collaborative efficacy of dental hygiene major students overall by positively influencing the ability to lead a team, exchange and evaluate each other's views, and constructively integrate different views. Conclusion : It was found that both the subject's problem-solving ability and cooperation efficiency improved under the influence of problem-based learning. On the other hand, implications for improvement of the future class such as the necessity of supplementing strategies to promote planning and execution ability for problem solving, and ability to evaluate problem solving performance was suggested.

Based on a survey conducted on 125 students in the Department of Computer Engineering at K University, the following results were obtained by analyzing ways to improve academic ability. Male students should pay more attention to grade points management than female students before completing their military service. Students with high self-assessed academic ability score higher than students with low self-assessed academic ability. As long as students don't spend too much time, a student's part-time job is not an obstacle to their study. Compared to Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon regions, students from Gangwon and other regions should pay special attention to some pre-classes to understand regular university lectures. In undergraduate education, a student's major aptitude is not a big problem. In order to change major, students need counseling about their major's aptitude only at the beginning semester. In order to get good grades, the achievement of the will to study is more important than the will to study itself. Professors should encourage students to review what they have learned in class after class and always assure students sincerity in their studies through the counseling process.
