Currently, many universities in Korea require official English test results as a form of graduation certification. The most commonly used standard is the TOEIC test provided by the U.S.-based Educational Testing Service. In order to obtain a target score before graduation, students must learn about strategic learning methods and apply them in class. Therefore, this study sought to research the use of learning strategies used by learners identify the correlation with learners’ achievement. The study participants were 116 college students taking TOEIC lectures in university, and “Strategy Inventory for Language Learning Questionnaire” (Oxford, 1990) was used, and the study participants took a mock TOEIC test. Through this study, the results of strategy use on language learning were derived, the correlation analysis was conducted, and discussions were presented.

This study explores the elements of core competence in workplace English within the context of English Proficiency Graduation Certification (EPGC) that has implemented over the last 20 years and National Competency Standards (NCS), a new policy on the job market, which was launched in 2018. After a series of in-depth critical literature reviews on EPGC and NCS, empirical data were collected from secondary data sources (e.g., EPGC details, skills in job description) available on the websites of 30 general universities and 15 public corporations as well as 50 private enterprises. Qualitative content analysis was undertaken to identify the elements of core competency based on NCS. The findings of this research are as follows: As per documentation, translation skills and email-writing skills are required, while oral communication skills in English for presentation, meetings, and counseling, including VIP interpretation, are considered to be a core capability. Within reading comprehension area, basic proficiency in understanding user manuals is essential for the general tasks whereas the expert-level of proficiency for translating contracts/agreements is important for the overseas business roles. Regarding other capabilities, the ability to organize complex schedules for international events is one of the key competencies for workers responsible for global businesses. This empirical study may contribute to further researches in EPGC and NCS focused on improvement of graduates' command of the English language and the development of the English education programs for the Korean universities.

This study examines an extra-curricular English course that gives a chance for the low-proficient seniors who have not yet met the graduation qualification to graduate upon completion of 90 hours of English program. The subjects were 14 seniors who failed to obtain the minimum requirement scores and had to complete the course in summer of 2014. A total of 5 sets of the TOEIC mock-tests were administered to see if the subjects made any progress in each test after providing lectures on the tips to improve listening skills and test scores. The study analyzed the results of the TOEIC L/C, subjects`` translation sheets and the questionnaire at the end of the course. Subjects`` personality factors were mainly focused for the study. The affective domain by Krathwohl, Bloom, and Masia (1964) was adopted to investigate the subjects`` learning factors along with their motivation. Based on the results of the study, the extra-curricular English course seemed ineffective as the subjects`` perception of the course was extremely nonchalant without any desire and motivation to learn. Their willingness to learn English was practically non-existent in each class presumably partly due to the lenient nature of the course and pressure to focus on their national qualification exam. It is recommended to provide a more practical course that includes testing the students and that reinforces a learning environment. The course is advised to be offered in the 3rd year so during the senior year, students can put in their effort on more urgent priority such as national nursing test and/or national biomedical laboratory science test.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to testify whether clinical performance examination (CPX) was useful to evaluate comprehensive performance for nursing students just prior to graduation. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was designed to examine the usefulness. A total of 61 nursing students whose requirement credits were completed for graduation from a C University in G-city, at December, 5, 2007. Data were analyzed by Pearson's Correlation Coefficient and Spearman's rank Correlation Coefficient. Results: This study showed that both of the finals scores with paper and pens and the clinical practicum scores were not correlated with the CPX scores (r=-.031, p=.811; r=.028, p=.831). Consistency of scores between faculties and standardized patients was moderate (r=.752, p=.000). Conclusion: CPX was considered as a different and innovative evaluation from previous testing systems to test the various aspects of performance including knowledge, skill and attitude. Therefore, CPX under high raters' consistency was useful to test nursing students's final performance. Further study would be needed to develop the standard of CPX system.

목적 본 연구는 S대학교에서 시행하고 있는 비교과 졸업인증제와 인재품의 당위성을 제고하기 위한 방안을 모색하는데 목적이 있다. 방법 이를 위해 교내 구성원의 인식도를 토대로 전반적인 제도 운영 방안과 기준에 대한 타당성을 확보하고자 하였으며, 비교과 졸업인증제 및 SCH인재품 경험이 있는 대학 구성원(재학생, 졸업생, 교수)을 대상으로 양적조사와 질적조사(FGI)를 수행하였다. 결과 첫째, 조사대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 비교과 졸업인증제와 SCH인재품에 대한 차이검증을 실시한 결과, 학번(F=5.452, p<.001), 학년(F=7.996, p<.001), 단과대학(F=6.592, p<.001), 졸업인증 인식여부(t=5.949, p<.001), 현재 참여하고 있는 비교과 활동 만족여부(t=3.207, p<.01), 대학만족도 여부(t=2.725, p<.05)에 따라서 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 인재품에 대한 전반적인 인식은 낮았으며, 인재품 수여 시기와 인재품 수여자의 수가 상대적으로 적기 때문에 효과성의기대치가 낮다는 점과 인재품과 장학금 지급 방식에 대한 의견은 대부분 현행유지가 주요한 것으로 나타났다. 결론 졸업인증과 관련해서는 졸업과 가장 연관이 높은 학년에서 인지도가 높게 나타난 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 학과 인증기준이나설명회, 홍보 등에서는 단과대학별로 차이가 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 인재품을 통한 장학금 지급에 대한 타당성을 확보하기위해 학생들의 성취동기를 제고할 수 있는 방략 모색이 필요하다.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to find a way to improve the legitimacy of the graduation certification system and human resources implemented by S University. Methods To this end, we tried to secure the validity of the overall system operation plan and standards based on the awareness of the members of the school, and quantitative and qualitative surveys focus group interview was performed. Results The study results are summarized as follows. First, as a result of verifying the difference between graduation certification and SCH talent products according to the general characteristics of the subjects, student number (F=5.452, p<.001), grade (F=7.996, p<.001), college (F=6.592, p<.001), recognition of graduation certificate (t=5.949, p<.001), satisfaction with non-curricular activities currently participating (t=3.207, p<.01), satisfaction with university (t)=2.725, p<.05), and there was a statistically significant difference. Second, the overall perception of talent products was low, and the expectation of effectiveness was low because the timing and number of recipients of talent products were relatively small. appeared to be Conclusions The implication of this is that, Regarding graduation accreditation, it was confirmed that recognition was high in the grade most closely related to graduation, and there was a difference between colleges in department accreditation standards, briefing sessions, and public relations. Therefore, in order to secure the validity of scholarship payment through talent products, it is necessary to find a way to link it with students' achievement motivation.

전공단위로 3학기동안 진행되는 작품 설계 및 제작 활동을 통해 졸업기준을 만족하기 위한 과정 이수와 그 과정에 만들어진 결과물인 다양한 이동환경 적용이 가능한 Drone의 구상 및 제작 과정에 대해 제안한다. Ring Propeller의 형태를 이용하여 Propeller로서의 양력 발생 역할과 테두리의 면을 통하여 지면에 접촉하는 바퀴로의 역할을 모두 가능하도록 제작한다. 또한 Servo Motor를 이용하여 명령에 따라 정확한 각도를 맞추어 모터의 구동축을 변환한다. 그리고 구상한 아이디어를 3D 프린팅으로 구현하고, 추진체 구동 회로를 설계하고 제작한다. 그 결과 추진체의 무게 증가로 공중 운항과 운항중 목적한 추진체계의 실시간 변환은 성공하지 못하였고, 그 원인으로 추력 발생을 위한 크기와 링 프로펠러의 내성 한계의 오차임을 확인하였다. 그리고 이러한 과정을 통해 공학적 접근 방법과 종합설계를 통한 창의적 사고방식 및 협동심의 경험을 인정받았고, 그 결과물을 공학 논문으로 작성하고 심사를 통해 졸업기준이 만족됨을 확인받았다.

Through the design and production of works for the third semester as a major unit, It is proposed the process of satisfying the graduation standards with the design and production process of the drone which can be applied to various mobile environments. Using the shape of Ring Propeller, it is made to be able to play both the role of generating lift as a propeller and the role of a wheel that touches the ground through the surface of the rim. In addition, the Servo Motor is used to convert the drive shaft of the motor to the correct angle according to the command. Then, based on the idea, the 3D printing is implemented to confirm the result of the configuration, and the circuit for driving the propulsion is designed and manufactured. As a result, the conversion of the desired propulsion system during air navigation and operation failed due to the weight increase of the propellant. It is confirmed that the size of the thrust and the tolerance limit of the ring propeller are the errors. Through these processes, it has been recognized to have experience of creative thinking and cooperation through engineering approach and comprehensive design, and confirmed to satisfy the graduation criteria by writing an engineering paper on the result.

This study aims at applying critical discourse analysis methodology to investigating Korean newspaper media reportage of Korean universities’ graduation accreditation system for English proficiency certification. In this study, the discourse event was discussed from three dimensions of textual, discursive, and social practice. It was found that a top-down communicative practice was mobilized to legitimize the need for English proficiency certification for college students in Korea. The voices of university presidents were frequently quoted in the aspect of style. By presenting their voices as authoritative (a portrayal enhanced by combining deferential presentation with the interview genre, in which an authoritative voice states definitive answers to questions posed), discourse producers regarded English language as an object to be managed, a problem to be solved, and a target to be mastered. It legitimized the dominant paradigm of language determinism, or monolingualism in internal and interdiscursive relations of the text.

The purpose of this study is to understand the historical flow of discourse politics on the Korean universities’ graduation accreditation system for the English proficiency certification in the noted Korean newspaper reportages. From the perspectives of Fairclough’s notion of the associated critical discourse, this study illustrated how the rationalization and legitimation of a particular political agenda was inextricably related to the process of knowledge and power production. Taking this specific text as a case, it also drew upon Foucault’s notion of governmentality, which examines the exercise of power through the governing of the state and the governing of the individuals that comprise the state in that case. It was found that the Korean university’s graduation accreditation system for an English proficiency certification has been a tangible manifestation of neoliberal political rationality as noted and reviewed in late modernity and contemporary times.
