청소년의 관계형성역량 향상을 위한 가정과교육의 방향 탐색

The purpose of this study is to explore the direction of home economics education and provide specific implications to help adolescents develop relationship competency. For this purpose, the contents of Korea's character education and UK's relationships education curriculum were analyzed, and the results are as follows. Character education in Korea focused on character education values such as responsibility, respect, consideration, and communication throughout the public education system. These contents were largely consistent with the learning content elements for cultivating relationship-competency in home economics education. UK's relationships education at the primary and secondary levels were similar to that of home economics education in middle school in Korea in its goals and learning contents for understanding and maintaining healthy relationships. However, differences existed in areas of safe relationships, setting boundaries with others, comprehensiveness of sex education content, rights to refuse sex education, and education content based on equal rights. Based on these results, this study concludes that the concept of education on relationships needs to be defined, the composition of educational content should be systematically developed, and further research on the development of teaching and learning methods and learning programs that can elicit and internalize students' attitudes and changes is needed. In addition, insights were gained regarding additional educational contents and considerations to take into account.

Effects of a Problem-Based Learning Education Program for Occupational Health Nursing Using Smart Learning on Occupational Health Knowledge and Nursing Professionalism.

This study aimed to develop a problem-based learning program for occupational health nursing using smart learning, and to report the program's effects on occupational health knowledge and nursing professionalism. A quasi-experimental study was performed using a non-equivalent control group pre-test-post-test design. An occupational health nursing problem-based learning program using smart learning was developed, and students produced videos containing problem-solving strategies in groups. The experimental and control groups consisted of 34 and 29 participants, respectively. To collect data, an online survey was conducted before and immediately after the intervention. The experimental and control group's mean scores for occupational health knowledge before the intervention were 5.74 and 7.41, respectively. Additionally, the mean scores for nursing professionalism were 3.45 and 3.66. After the intervention, both the knowledge on occupational health and nursing professionalism score improved to 8.26 and 3.64 in the experimental group. This study reported significant improvements after conducting the occupational health nursing education program. These results demonstrate the need to develop a nursing education program for problem-based learning utilizing smart learning. Moreover, filming videos in cooperation with students can improve the effectiveness of education by improving knowledge.

A Mixed Study of Beliefs about Critical Thinking in a Sample of Trainee Teachers in Argentina and Spain

Critical thinking is a competence that is recommended to be learned with increasing emphasis from different national and international organizations in the fields of education and employability. The aim of this study was to analyze and describe the beliefs that Argentine and Spanish teachers who have received training in socioeducational intervention have about critical competence. A mixed-methods research study was developed by administering questionnaires and conducting focus group sessions in a sample of 153 trainee secondary school teachers holding different degrees. The results indicated that the sample subjects unanimously considered critical thinking to be essential for their professional development, but few teachers considered these skills to have been sufficiently developed. There were no significant differences between nationalities or between genders except for some variables linked to the role of universities. As a practical implication of these results, the importance of developing specific teaching–learning programs about critical competence in universities must be emphasized, especially in the degree programs whose ultimate aim is to educate individuals and groups.

Effectiveness of a Teaching-Learning Program in the Regulating of Emotions Based on Gross’s Model on Social Competence among Tenth Grade Students in Amman

The study sample consisted of (47) students from Othman Bin Affan Basic School affiliated to the Directorate of Education for the District of the Kasbah of Amman. The students were intentionally chosen and randomly distributed into two groups: an experimental group and a control group.To achieve the objectives of the study, the program was built based on the Gross Model of Emotion Regulation, and the social competency scale which was developed by Lafi (2017) was used on four dimensions (social skills, self-control, academic skills and social compatibility) after assuring its validity and reliability.The results showed statistical significance at the level of significance (α ≤ .05) between the two groups in favor of the experimental group in all dimensions of the scale due to the Gross model-based emotion regulation educational program. The study recommended that this programme be implemented by teachers, counselors, and scholars in order to increase students’ social competence.

Didactic Interventions: The Voices of Adult Migrants on Second Language Teaching and Learning in a Rural Area in Chile

Research in Chile, regarding language teaching and learning, has focused on Spanish as a first language (L1). However, due to the growing influx and settlement of non-Spanish-speaking adult migrants, the significance of investigating language education within a second-language (L2)-context has surged. Accordingly, the objective of this study is to examine the implementation of a Spanish language teaching–learning program as an L2 from the learners’ perspectives. The ultimate objective is to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in this field within the national framework. This qualitative, descriptive/interpretive study involves 10 adult Haitian migrants who do not speak Spanish and live in a rural area. These participants possess varying educational backgrounds and are situated within a vulnerable context. In pursuit of the objective, two focus groups were convened. The outcomes underscore the pressing need for comprehensive macro-level development, at the governmental level, to address the inclusion of migrants. This entails equipping educators with linguistic proficiency and theoretical and pedagogical expertise for instructing an L2 program. Furthermore, the inclusion of linguistic mediators, a judicious use of the learners’ L1 as a pedagogical resource, and the implementation of strategies that cater to individual needs contribute to a more effective and inclusive teaching–learning experience.

간호대학생의 미디어 리터러시와 그릿이 자기주도적 학습능력에 미치는 영향

The purpose of this study was to examine factors influencing self-directed learning among nursing students, specifically focusing on media literacy and grit. The research design employed in this study was a descriptive survey, utilizing convenience sampling. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires completed by 173 nursing students in D city. The collected data were analyzed using mean, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation analysis, and stepwise multiple regression with the SPSS/Win 23.0 program. Self-directed learning exhibited a significant positive correlation with media literacy (r = .38, p < .001) and grit (r = .69, p <.001). The stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that grit (β = .63, p < .001), media literacy (β = .33, p < .001) and satisfaction in majors (β = .12, p = .023) were significant predictors, explaining 59% of selfdirected learning. The results of this study highlight that media literacy and grit significantly impact the selfdirected learning of nursing students. These findings suggest a need for developing self-directed learning education programs aimed at improving grit, media literacy, and satisfaction in majors for nursing students.

A 360<sup>0</sup> scan of primary care in Flanders: what is needed and how to address challenges to build a strong primary care.

The primary care (PC) in Flanders is going through a transition to realize integrated care (IC).
 Artevelde University of Applied Sciences (AUAS), as knowledge institution, wants to contribute to a strong PC and undertook a needs analysis incorporating the problems PC-actors are facing and the support AUAS could offer.
 A stakeholder mapping (e.g. care, welfare actors at micro-, meso- and macrolevel) was executed. 44 in dept interviews were conducted. After data-analyze, a member check (n=17) took place, followed by validation by the Flemish Patient Organization representing the person with care and support need, the Flemish Institute for PC, and the King Baudouin Foundation, a philanthropy organization.
 Key is the paradigm shift from supply-led care to person-centered care. Transformation towards IC encompasses various dimensions of integration: clinical, service, functional and organizational (Lewis et al.). Our findings showed obstacles on those dimensions. At the clinical level, care professionals and providers stressed the need for shared guidelines and protocols. At the service level, implementation of IC-services through interdisciplinary teams is hampered. Professionals do not know each other or what to expect, since they are mainly organized in ad hoc or fluid teams, hampering good collaboration. Participants indicated at the functional level the lacking of an integrated, patient-centered electronic record.Integration of organizations is still ongoing. Different obstacles within and without the sphere of influence of an organization were brought up, e.g., the current legal and financial framework.
 The participants indicated that both the PC- sector as well as education, research and policy hold a piece of the puzzle to facilitate the different forms of cooperation. 
 They reached out to educational institutions to coordinate their educational and lifelong learning programs more co-creatively and flexible. Basic courses should work on interdisciplinary courses to promote cooperation later in the field. There is a need for further development of the so-called t-shaped professional, a professional with skills and expertise in a single field, but the ability to collaborate across disciplines with experts in other areas and to apply knowledge in areas of expertise other than one's own.
 Lifelong learning should work out multidisciplinary education courses targeting broad topics and develop a tailor-made offer, including coaching of PC actors, organizations, and networks. 
 They also called for more cooperation between PC and research. Research must be tailor-mode and needs to speed-up. Support in all forms and phases of research is wanted. A willingness to work together as equal partners from scratch is formulated. Co-creation and transfer of research competence are key. In addition, mandate is given to researchers to report results to policy.
 Based on those findings AUAS is working together with PC to develop an ""academic collaborative center (ACC)"" a sustainably funded collaboration between end users, science, care practice and education with complete equality between partners. Central is co-creation with intensive and equal collaboration between various stakeholders, creating scientific knowledge in which the perspectives of the end users are central (f.i. implementation of IC in PC) and creating societal impact (improve quality of care) are ambitions that are intertwined.
 
 

ExamGAN and Twin-ExamGAN for Exam Script Generation

Nowadays, the learning management system (LMS) has been widely used in different educational stages from primary to tertiary education for student administration, documentation, tracking, reporting, and delivery of educational courses, training programs, or learning and development programs. Towards effective learning outcome assessment, the exam script generation problem has attracted many attentions and been investigated recently. But the research in this field is still in its early stage. There are opportunities to further improve the quality of generated exam scripts in various aspects. In particular, two essential issues have been ignored largely by existing solutions. First, given a course, it is unknown yet how to generate an exam script which can result in a desirable distribution of student scores in a class (or across different classes). Second, while it is frequently encountered in practice, it is unknown so far how to generate a pair of high quality exam scripts which are equivalent in assessment (i.e., the student scores are comparable by taking either of them) but have significantly different sets of questions. To fill the gap, this paper proposes ExamGAN (Exam Script Generative Adversarial Network) to generate high quality exam scripts, and then extends ExamGAN to T-ExamGAN (Twin-ExamGAN) to generate a pair of high quality exam scripts. Based on extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets, it has verified the superiority of proposed solutions in various aspects against the state-of-the-art. Moreover, we have conducted a case study which demonstrated the effectiveness of proposed solution in a real teaching scenario.

Challenges Faced by Libyan English Instructors in Using E-Communication Tools

The popularity of online teaching has increased significantly due to the outbreak of Covid-19 which prompted a sudden shift of educational activities to the online environment. In Libya, the government imposed online teaching and television learning programs as “emergency online education”. However, while online education offers numerous benefits as a flexible mode of knowledge delivery, both instructors and students tend to face various obstacles in the teaching and learning process. This study aimed to ascertain the challenges of using e-communication tools and their correlation with teaching experience among EFL instructors in Libyan universities. A total of 100 EFL instructors were examined using a cross-sectional survey method. The data were gathered through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the mean, frequency, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation. The findings showed that major challenges faced by Libyan EFL instructors in using e-communication tools result from inadequate technical skills and lack of institutional support, followed by lack of student engagement and poor internet connection. The study also revealed a weak correlation between challenges of using e-communication tools and teaching experience among the instructors. This study was envisaged to provide information that can be useful to the Libyan government and higher learning institutions in the process of e-teaching implementation in the EFL context.

Pan-European Criteria for Sustainable Forest Management - Attitudes of Forestry Professionals in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Climate change is recognized as a global threat that negatively impacts biodiversity and forest resources. The use of existing indicators for sustainable forest management (SFM) related to biodiversity and climate change, as well as the development of new indicators, will help assess how forest management practices impact biodiversity enhancement and climate change mitigation. A Pan-European set of criteria and indicators has been developed as a policy instrument for monitoring, evaluating, and reporting on the progress in implementing SFM. In Bosnia and Herzegovina and Western Balkans in general, the Pan-European set of criteria and indicators is an insufficiently researched topic and there is a lack of scientific research conducted regarding their development and implementation. Through the analysis of the current situation in forestry of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH), regarding the compliance and importance of the Pan-European criteria for SFM, this paper aims to explain how the international process of development and application of the Pan-European criteria for SFM can contribute to the improvement of the situation in forestry and the creation of a consistent forest policy in FBiH. The survey among forestry professionals (n=360), from the public forest administration and public forest companies in FBiH, included the sets of questions related to socio-demographic characteristics, assessment of compliance and importance of six criteria of SFM. Research results revealed that forestry professionals are mainly males, on average 41 years old, with 13 years of working experience. The majority of forestry professionals in FBiH are not familiar with Pan-European criteria for SFM, and have a low level of their understanding. On average, forestry professionals indicated that the Pan-European criteria for SFM were of high importance, while compliance with current forest management activities were rated lower on average. The large differences between responses regarding the average rating of compliance and importance of the Pan-European criteria for SFM indicate their low level of implementation in FBiH forest management activities. Accordingly, the results indicate that there is a need to organize educational lifelong learning programs in FBiH forestry sector, involving forestry professionals and other interested parties, to generate knowledge related to the Pan-European criteria for SFM and the concept of SFM in general.
