The two groups took vocabulary quizzes at two-week intervals and the experimental group responded to the questionnaire concerning their perception toward Quillbot-paraphraser use. By Mann-Whitney U test, comparisons were made on each quiz score between the groups and the responses on the questionnaire of the experimental group were analyzed by content. \u0000Results The result found no statistically significant differences in the vocabulary quiz scores of the two groups, but the analyses of the students of the experimental group showed that Quillbot-paraphraser use certainly helped their paraphrasing performance, extending their vocabulary knowledge in depth, aiding them to comprehend sen-tence structures better, and making them aware of distorted sentences. \u0000Conclusions There remained limitations in that the Quillbot-paraphraser provided distorted sentences that were different from the students’ intended meanings and was unable to provide detailed explanations related to its vo-cabulary choices. Thus, it seems important students themselves to have an keen eyes to identify problems with the results provided by AI tools. It is hoped that further studies will lead to in-depth discussions on the new role of teachers and on discoveries of new strategies for implementing AI tool-assisted writing tasks, calling teachers’ facilitating supports in the classrooms.","PeriodicalId":509731,"journal":{"name":"Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140976862","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}

Among them, a questionnaire was devel-oped to find out the perception of the content of chemistry subjects, and a questionnaire was conducted on 78 people who agreed to participate in the study. In order to analyze the tendency of chemical academic achievement according to science subject selection in the high school credit system, descriptive statistics, cross-analysis, and nonparametric tests were performed with the SPSS 28 program. \u0000Results Students selected many of the science elective subjects in the order of 'Chem-Phys-Bio,' 'Chem-Phys-Earth,' and 'Chem-Bio-Earth.' In the content and concept of the Chemistry I subject, students were found to have difficulty understanding concepts such as 'mole,' 'chemical reaction formula,' 'orbital,' etc., and the 'Chem-Phys-Earth' subject group was found to have the most difficulty in understanding the concept of 'mole.' In addition, in the comparison of achievement by elective subject group, the 'Chem-Phys-Bio' subject group showed the highest chemical academic achievement and the 'Chem-Phys-Earth' subject group showed the low-est achievement. \u0000Conclusions In the high school credit system, students chose the Science I course independently, but many stu-dents were found to have insufficient understanding of the basic concept of Chemistry I. Therefore, in terms of understanding the concept of chemistry, it is essential to design a teaching-learning process by level so that stu-dents can better understand the basic concept of Chemistry I in the high school credit system.","PeriodicalId":509731,"journal":{"name":"Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140976568","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}

First, what perceptions do learners have about Korean language (modern novel) classes? Second, what are the responses of learners who have used team building visual thinking in all modern novel classes? Third, what is the effect of modern novel classes using team building visual thinking on learners' interest, confidence, attitude, and anxiety? The purpose of this study was to empirically verify the ef-fect on Korean language classes through the experience of modern novel classes using team building visual sink-ing for students in five classes in the second year of Y High School in Seoul. \u0000Methods The class was conducted for second-year students at Y High School in Seoul, data was collected through worksheets and questionnaires to analyze the results. The questionnaires were divided into a pre-test and a post-test after review by experts (one Korean language professor and two doctors of education), and a survey was conducted to examine the students' reactions to modern novel classes using team building visual thinking. The survey results were analyzed with descriptive statistics using SPSS 28.0, and open-ended questions and worksheets were analyzed. \u0000Results Team building visual thinking classes provided an opportunity for learners, who deeply understood the work, to express their thoughts and impressions visually and then communicate and share their opinions with oth-er learners. This enhanced learners' understanding of the novel while improving their creative thinking, expression skills, and teamwork skills. In addition, team building visual thinking was effective in increasing their learning mo-tivation, thereby making the classes more active. \u0000Conclusions Team building visual thinking classes helped build a collaborative learning environment through ac-tivities that team members do together, from idea visualization to idea sharing and feedback. This served as an opportunity to lay the foundation for teaching and learning that can actively respond to changes in education: digi-tal transformation. In particular, this study is significant in that it is a new attempt to utilize team building visual thinking in modern novel classes according to the 2022 Revised National Curriculum.","PeriodicalId":509731,"journal":{"name":"Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140972603","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}

First, the attachment anxiety of college students showed a significant positive correlation with the use of social media to avoid negative emotions, perceived stress and de-pression caused by COVID-19.
