The study surveyed 194 undergraduate students enrolled in a required EFL writing course. The study utilized a factor reduction to group the variables into the TAM model. Standard multiple regressions were then performed on each of the three stages of the TAM. First, it was found that subjective norm (SN), voluntariness (V) and output quality (OQ) had a positive statistically significant effect on the students’ perceived usefulness (PU). Two factors did not display a statistical effect on the model: results demonstrability (RD) and the students’ perceived ease of use (EoU). In the second phase of the model, EoU and PU both had a positive statistically significant effect on the students’ intention to use (IU). However, SN did not have a statistical effect on IU as predicted in the model. The final standardized regression found that IU had a positive statistically significant effect on the students’ usage behavior (UB). The overall results indicated that the more positive a student’s SN, V, OQ, PU, and IU, the more likely the student will be to apply smartphone translators to their arsenal of mechanisms to study English. Teachers should consider including the smartphone translator in their technology toolbox in the EFL writing classroom.","PeriodicalId":267224,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Association of General Education","volume":"117 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140421710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary means of data collection included a survey with multiple choice questions and open-ended questions, as well as semi-structured interviews. Thirteen teachers, five native English-speaking teachers (NESTs) and eight Korean English teachers (KETs) responded to the survey, among whom four teachers participated in the interviews. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics or qualitative methods, depending on their types. Findings revealed that teachers attempted to use English as the primary medium of instruction, adhering to class identity and their teaching beliefs. However, the majority also found themselves allowing for the use of Korean to some extent for reasons such as the students’ low English proficiency, course goals, the tense environment, common L1 among students, and the students’ demand, although some differences were observed in the way that Korean was used between NESTs and KETs. Teachers also showed more leniency towards the students’ Korean use as opposed to their own use of it and employed Korean for different purposes in each case. Discrepancies were found between NESTs and KETs in their purposes. For instance, NESTs focused their use of Korean on social purposes while KETs focused on managerial purposes. NESTs permitted students to use Korean for various purposes, whereas KETs focused mainly on affective and social purposes. However, both groups seldom considered the students’ use of Korean for linguistic purposes. Further discussions on implications for teachers, education administrators, and researchers are provided.","PeriodicalId":267224,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Association of General Education","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140422698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, I will explore the meaning of the transition to a new civilization called ‘the post-human era’ from a more macroscopic perspective and attempt to interpret our current reality from a new standpoint. To achieve this, we will examine the insights of contemporary philosophers such as Latour, Haraway, Bhaskar, and Ferrando, who oppose anthropocentrism of the modern era and propose new worldviews and perspectives on humanity. They argue that there is a need for the evolution of the ontological relationship between humans and non-humans. Particularly, the development of artificial intelligence technology demands a shift in the relationship between humans and machines from a tool-based connection to a mutually interdependent, agentive relationship. Therefore, in the era of post-humanism, a new concept of humanity is required, and through this, we must overcome the limitations of the anthropocentric notion of humanity from the modern era. ‘Humanitas’ is also a guiding principle in liberal education. I hope for ongoing discussions and debates regarding the meaning and content of this guiding principle, as well as the evolution and changes in the concept.","PeriodicalId":267224,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Association of General Education","volume":"17 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140418690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This course is based on interdisciplinary content in the STS, and operates in a standardized flipped learning, which is learner-centered. Learners from different majors will participate in these classes, and student presentations take the form of poster presentations, consisting of a single PPT slide presented by an individual student followed by a Q&A session. In this class, students can, first, learn to integrate their majors with the unit theme through self-directed exploration, starting from an understanding of the unit's theme. Second, through the Q&A process, students can develop their convergent abilities through inquiry and interaction among their learners. At this time, the use of crosscutting themes, which allows reflection from the perspectives of humans, technology, and society, provides an opportunity to further promote the learners' convergent thinking. Thus, poster presentations utilizing crosscutting themes can be used as a teaching-learning device to cultivate the convergent abilities of learners with diverse majors from the aspects of major convergent thinking with the unit theme, as well as extended thinking through Q&A sessions. This study examined the flow of convergent thinking extended through the learners' own exploration and interaction through the analysis of the poster presentation cases utilizing crosscutting themes. This is significant in that it proposed a teaching-learning model that enables students from diverse majors to share their awareness of issues concerning humans, technology, and society, and to cultivate their abilities for connected and creative thinking.","PeriodicalId":267224,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Association of General Education","volume":"46 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140419149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Technical skills are essential in limited physical and group learning environments, and technology and teaching methods are interdependent. By empirically observing the period of transition from non-face-to-face to face-to-face, we confirmed the interdependence between teaching methods and the university's LMS in H University's liberal arts writing class. Technology functions to sustain and promote the internal relationship between instructor and learner, and internal communication is achieved through the instructor's consideration for the learner. When a sense of trust is formed through the instructor's consideration, learners can focus on writing independently, even in a group learning environment where they do not receive attention. The university's LMS is used for hybrid education where instructors and learners maintain internal communication and communicate using online technology and offline consideration. However, the interdependent relationship with technology in education is meaningful when instructors aim for internal communication through consideration as humanization.","PeriodicalId":267224,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Association of General Education","volume":"125 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140423898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this reason, the climate liberal education in our era of climate crisis should be a convergent liberal education based upon a pluralism of knowledge. Considering this special request of climate liberal education, this paper proposed to design a transdisciplinary course using climate science, earth system science/environmental science, and climate history as core modules. Each module can have a different weight, location, and relation depending on the character and interests of the instructors and students. First of all, climate science is taken as a fundamental knowledge, because understanding climate requires both a deep level of holistic thinking and at least a basic level of climate literacy. Secondly, earth system science and environmental science as an extensive knowledge is required in order to understand the current climate crisis in the more comprehensive context of the Anthropocene. Lastly, climate history is chosen as consilience knowledge in order to integrate climate science and earth system science/environmental science, and to encourage more ambitious climate action.","PeriodicalId":267224,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Association of General Education","volume":"117 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140423539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reading is a key skill that contributes to developing convergent competencies in university liberal arts education. In particular, ‘Book-trailers’ (video trailers that introduce books) are important in that they produce the results of reading using media.The contents of teaching-learning are as follows. First, once learners know the difference between letter-based text and multimodal text, they can adapt them to the studies. Next, learners experience becoming a book trailer producer and a book trailer consumer. Lastly, the learner knows the respective functions of the book trailer for promotional purposes and as a result after reading.As a result of this program, learners engaged in active reading by understanding book features and contents from a multifaceted perspective and by producing multimodal texts. Furthermore, this program is one of the solutions to solving the problem of learners' declining literacy and reading comprehension skills and can also be expanded into the reading culture industry.","PeriodicalId":267224,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Association of General Education","volume":"333 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140417216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
