  • 본 연구는 온라인을 활용한 범교과적 글쓰기(WAC) 수업 방안을 연구한 것으로 크게 세 가지에 초점을 두어 진행하였다. 첫째, WAC 수업은 현재 교수자와 학습자 간의 일대일 상담으로 진행되고 있다. 온라인을 통해 WAC 수업이 운용된다면 교수자와 학습자 간의 시간과 에너지를 줄여서 탄력적으로 운용될 수 있다. 둘째, 오프라인 상에서 이루어진 WAC 수업은 소규모 강좌에서 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 온라인을 통해 WAC 수업이 진행된다면 대학에서 소규모가 아닌 중규모에서 도 WAC 수업이 가능하다. 셋째, WAC 수업이 원활하게 진행되기 위해서는 글쓰기 센터가 중심이 되어야 한다. 이를 통해 교수자와 학습자 간의 선진화된 WAC 프로그램이 개발될 것이다.

  • This paper presents the current status of creative writing education through examining studies which have been published since 2000 and discusses the future direction. Following the Korean government's educational slogan to nurture creative and competent talents, creative writing, as one of foundational skills across disciplines, had begun to be introduced into the curriculum of liberal arts colleges from early 2000s and has become a required course since 2015. Although many studies on creative writing education have been conducted during this period, whether creative writing, which enhances creativity dealt in cognitive sciences, can be recognized as an independent field of study calls for in-depth discussion. The ongoing issues concerning creative writing education involve a lack of professional instructors and absence of the operational and evaluative system. What's necessary is a clear definition of the extent of creative writing education; the educational efficiency of the proposed contents also need further verification. Therefore, as the basis for future constructive conversation, the current paper recapitulates the literature on creative writing education in Korean universities, classifying studies based on periods and cases of contents, and presents the direction regarding the operation of and research on creative writing education.

  • Writing education for the students who major in natural sciences and engineering is concentrated on just writing in liberal education. So, this article study the condition and practical solution of writing education with a focus on natural sciences and engineering. This article researches the condition of writing in these majors of Seoul National University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University. As a result, students keenly feel the necessity of writing in this major, but SNU does not offer such courses and few teachers that could teach it. To solve this, we propose that writing teachers of liberal education give feedback on the reports of the capstone research subject 3 or 4 times, which corresponds to 1 credit. This solution would be applicable to most universities in practice, though it is not final method.

  • Learning communities in medical education have demonstrated favorable outcomes in terms of students' learning, professional development, and wellness. Despite these strengths and the widespread adoption of learning communities in US medical schools, there has been little interest in medical learning communities in Korea. In this context, the present study examined the development and implementation of the Yonsei Medical Learning Community (YMLC) and analyzed its outcomes and areas of improvement. The Yonsei University College of Medicine has operated a learning community as part of the undergraduate medical education curriculum since 2014. The YMLC is the first program of its type in Korea. The overall structure of the YMLC consists of four distinct communities (pillars), which are named after four distinguished alumni, and each pillar is organized into five learning community classes. Each class is vertically integrated across students in different medical school years, and one faculty advisor is matched to about 30 students. As the YMLC focuses on fostering reflective practice in students and providing them with opportunities to build teamwork and experience social relatedness, two educational approaches have been adopted: reflective writing and mentoring and community activities. In this study, we obtained and analyzed second-year students' feedback on the YMLC curriculum and identified its achievements, merits, and areas that need improvement. The results have shown that over 75% and 60% of respondents reported satisfaction with reflective writing and mentoring and community activities, respectively. The educational activities of the learning community helped students regularly reflect on their learning and progress and establish close relationships with faculty advisors. However, several areas of improvement regarding content, format, and logistical issues were also identified. The present findings may provide valuable information for other institutions to develop learning communities relevant to their own context.
