Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of ego resilience and problem-solving ability on career identity. Methods: An online survey targeting dental technology students was conducted, and the responses of 206 students were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 21.0 (IBM). Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA (Duncan post-hoc analysis), and multiple regression analysis were performed. Results: The ego resilience-emotion control ability increased with career identity (β=0.129, p=0.007). The problem-solving and analysis ability, increased with the career identity-cognitive factor (β=0.535, p<0.001). In addition, career identity was observed to be high in male respondents (p=0.003) who were aged >23 years (p=0.002), in their 4th grade (p=0.023), had a grade of ≥4.0 (p=0.018), and hoped to get a job as a dental technician after graduation (p=0.001). Conclusion: Programs to establish the career identity of dental technology students are recommended to include contents that can improve cognitive abilities such as emotional regulation ability and problem-solving ability among those with ego resilience.

Mathematics franchise education companies are developing various online learning systems to provide on-off integrated education to learners. Most online learning systems deliver one-way lecture content to learners and perform quantitative problem-solving learning for learning results. However, each learner has different academic achievement competencies, and it is impossible to determine exactly where the level of understanding fell when solving a math method. and based on this, establish an online learning system to discover the weak points of learners and propose an effective learner management method. Through the developed learning method and system, it is expected to cultivate balanced problem-solving ability for learners and provide differentiated brand image and counseling service to franchise companies.

According to previous studies, meta-affect based on the interaction between cognitive and affective elements in mathematics learning activities maintains a close mechanical relationship with the learner's mathematical ability in a similar way to meta-cognition. In this study, in order to grasp these characteristics phenomenologically, small group problem-solving cases of 5th grade elementary mathematically gifted children were analyzed from a meta-affective perspective. As a result, the two types of problem-solving cases of mathematically gifted children were relatively frequent in the types of meta-affect in which cognitive element related to the cognitive characteristics of mathematically gifted children appeared first. Meta-affects were actively acted as the meta-function of evaluation and attitude types. In the case of successful problem-solving, it was largely biased by the meta-function of evaluation type. In the case of unsuccessful problem-solving, it was largely biased by the meta-function of the monitoring type. It could be seen that the cognitive and affective characteristics of mathematically gifted children appear in problem solving activities through meta-affective activities. In particular, it was found that the affective competence of the problem solver acted on problem-solving activities by meta-affect in the form of emotion or attitude. The meta-affecive characteristics of mathematically gifted children and their working principles will provide implications in terms of emotions and attitudes related to mathematics learning.

In the near future, as artificial intelligence and computing network technology develop, collaboration with artificial intelligence (AI) will become important. In an AI society, the ability to communicate and collaborate among people is an important element of talent. To do this, it is necessary to understand how artificial intelligence based on computer science works. An algorithmic education focused on problem solving and learning is efficient for computer science education. In this study, the results of an assessment of computational thinking at the beginning of the semester, a satisfaction survey at the end of the semester, and academic performance were compared and analyzed for 28 students who received algorithmic education focused on problem-solving learning. As a result of diagnosing students' computational thinking and problem-solving learning, teaching methods, lecture satisfaction, and other environmental factors, a correlation was found, and regression analysis confirmed that problem-solving learning had an effect on improving lecture satisfaction and computational thinking ability. For algorithmic education, if you pursue a problem-solving learning technique and a way to improve students' satisfaction, it will help students improve their problem-solving skills.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of empathy and communication skills on nursing problem-solving skills of nursing students who received simulation classes. The subjects of this study were composed of 234 students in the 3rd and 4th grades who already took simulation classes. The data was collected from April 26th to May 10th, 2021. The data was analyzed with the SPSS WIN 25.0 program. Descriptive statistics and mean differences were analyzed using an independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. As a result, the average points of empathy skills were 5.29 out of 7, communication skills were 3.30 out of 5, and problem-solving skills were 3.51 out of 5. Empathy skills and communication skills were positively correlated with problem-solving skills. The predicting factors on problem-solving skills were empathy and communication skills, on-campus practice period, and gender in order. The explanatory power of these factors was 64.6%. In conclusion, in order to improve the problem-solving ability of nursing students, a strategy is needed to enhance empathy and communication skills through continuous simulation classes.

It was proposed that proper problem solving practice should improve students' questioning in physics. In the previous researches, improvement in students' questioning was observed after practice of making questions given the examples of desirable questions. In this study, the problem solving strategies used by experts were introduced to students in the form of step-by-step guide to follow in problem solving practice. The directions in the guide were concrete and operational for students to understand the expected behaviors explicitly. It was assumed that students could pinpoint the difficulty specifically through this guide, which would result in positive effects on students' recognition and expression of their own questions. The subjects in this study were college freshmen enrolled in the introductory physics for science or engineering major. The physics problems from the textbook were solved and practiced in the traditional way for controlled group. Worksheets designed to follow experts' problem solving strategies were used for the experimental group. Two groups were taught in the same way during lecture part of the class. Students were asked to describe the difficulties they had during homeworks or tests. Questions in this study means these descriptions written by students although they were not necessarily in the form of interrogative sentences. The questions were analyzed both in quantity and quality. Quantitatively, more students spontaneously turned in their questions in the experimental group than in the controlled group. Regarding the quality, there were more students in the experimental group than in the controlled group who described their difficulties in detail or recognized the need for the procedural knowledge.
