KNOWLEDGE AND PERCEPTION OF STUDENTS ABOUT PEAT: ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN LEARNING SCIENCE IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Natural peatlands are home to a wide variety of animals and plants and provide ecosystem services for humans and the environment. Peatlands in Jambi are still not appropriately managed, partly because of the lack of community knowledge regarding peat. This study reveals the knowledge and perceptions of junior high school students about peat, the factors that influence it, and its implementation in science learning. We conducted the study on 228 junior high school students and 21 science teachers in Tanjung Jabung Timur. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and focused discussions. Data were analyzed descriptively. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using Smart PLS to determine the relationship between students' background, perceptions, and interactions with their knowledge of peat. Students' knowledge of peat is in a low category. The level of student's knowledge is significantly influenced by their experiences (interactions) with peatlands and their perceptions of these resources. The student's family background does not affect students' knowledge of peat.

The purpose of this study is to find the significance of writing education for foreign students by sharing the writing method conducted in the &lt;Life and Writing&gt; class conducted as a customized curriculum for foreign students. For foreign students, it is important to facilitate communication, but it is also an important part of accurate writing. Among actual speaking, reading, writing, and listening, foreign students are complaining of the most difficulties in the field of ‘writing’.&#x0D; Accordingly, Chapter 2 analyzed the writing expansion process of foreign student learners. In four stages, foreign students carefully examined their own writings and examined in detail the process of recognizing themselves through writing in Korean. It was confirmed that the first stage of “understanding the meaning of meaningful words,” the second stage of “making sentences,” the third stage of “writing a completed article using a paragraph,” and the fourth stage of “stamping” increased learners’ confidence and self-cultivation.&#x0D; In the third chapter, the improvement plan to improve the necessary improvement of foreign students.The first is a method of providing self-directed writing ability to function while using PBL.Second is to operate a customized tube for foreign students.Through tuning, foreign students can promote writing and communication capabilities related to his depression and communication skills related to his department.If this improvement plan is provided, learners can increase academic achievement of learners’ academic achievement and more professional.&#x0D; It is necessary to learn successful universities by overcome difficulties in college students, not only writing difficulties to communicate with synchronization, but also need to communicate with synchronization with synchronization.In that various learning laws, it is necessary to effectively discussions in terms of various learning laws and empirical approaches.
Educational Outcomes of a University Course on KOICA International Development Cooperation Awareness Program: The Case of Sangmyung University, Cheonan

Purpose: This case study on Sangmyung University, Cheonan aimed to analyze the educational outcomes of the International Development Cooperation (IDC) class combined theory-/practice-based tasks that KOICA has supported since 2012.&#x0D; Originality: While KOICA has disclosed the overall performance by collaborative groups of all participating universities, there are very few studies that examine the outcomes of education on an individual university level; this research analyzes the effectiveness of theoretical lectures/practical training at Sangmyung University by serving as a model to design the courses that fit other universities.&#x0D; Methodology: This study applied a mixed method using quantitative analysis of survey responses and qualitative analysis of free-written responses in the questionnaire from 139 students collected by KOICA in 2018-2022.&#x0D; Result: Understanding of IDC increased significantly after the course compared to before the class, and their attitudes toward the expansion of foreign aids showed more positive; the higher the students' self-assessment of their IDC class, the higher the effects of the intended education approach. In the free-written comments, while most students wished to work for IDC-related bodies overseas, some students described their extended awareness of sustainability and human rights knowledge, skills, attitudes, and practices in global citizenship. However, the convergence projects based on appropriate technology/design would need to be modified in terms of the IDC course design.&#x0D; Conclusion and Implication: This study confirms that IDC theory lectures based on global citizenship theory and practices applicable to developing countries can raise students' global competence and inspire their willingness to work overseas. It will contribute to analyzing the effectiveness of IDC lectures within Korean universities and to their self-review on the IDC program.
A Study on the Method of Cultural Understanding Through Text Analysis of the Netflix series ‘Kingdom’: Focusing on the Effectiveness of Visual Media

This study examines the narrative structure of the Netflix K-drama “Kingdom,” focusing on the progression of events and analysing the patterns of dialogue in situations of fear. The research aims to explore how the textual elements of visual media, beyond linguistic information, can effectively serve as resources for understanding Korean culture.&#x0D; The study moves from a macroscopic to a microscopic analysis, focusing on the discourse in the drama, conversations within these discourses, sentences within the conversations, and specific vocabulary within the sentences to grasp the situational meaning of each event. From a narrative perspective, it examines sociocultural symbols and, from a linguistic perspective, character identities through dialogue analysis and specific vocabulary. Furthermore, sociocultural symbols are linked to social background and spatial perception, while the linguistic aspect focuses on the speaker’s utterances.&#x0D; “Kingdom” showcases distinct patterns of language use across different social classes. In the common social context of ‘fear,’ the context and situational meaning of events experienced by each class can be understood through the utterances and discourse analysis of characters from different social standings. This research, while analysing the narrative structure and dialogue of “Kingdom,” primarily focuses on the thematic aspect of ‘social discourse.’ Set in the Joseon period, “Kingdom” has a clear conflict structure: a power-hungry noble’s greed for the throne, monstrous zombies, and a prince’s struggle to protect the royal authority and save the people. Unlike Western zombie narratives that often portray zombies in a destructive light, “Kingdom” incorporates distinct Korean messages. The conflicts among characters in “Kingdom” are common themes in Korean drama storytelling. However, the narrative construction of overcoming crises in “Kingdom” can highlight the strengths of traditional Korean narratives.&#x0D; This research analyses the situations and intentions of characters in specific crises through “Kingdom,” a K-content text, suggesting that such cultural understanding and text analysis could enable Korean language learners to become interpreters of K-culture. Additionally, by providing richer information about the Korean language and culture, it is expected to contribute to the academic advancement in literacy related to text comprehension.
A Study on the Utilization Community Policing to the Decentralized Police System

The Korean Police System had changed from the National Police System to the Decentralized Police System. Unlike other countries, the affairs are divided into national police affairs, investigation affairs, and autonomous affairs, and the status of police officer has not the local official but the national public official. A precedent study in Korea and foreign cases analyzed that police activities in community relations had a positive effect on at least community public order satisfaction and public order status resolution, and suggested a direction when current police activities were combined with community policing. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to suggest an efficient activation strategy of community policing by based on cases of community policing activities conducted in foreign countries. As a result of this study, the direction of the current decentralized police activities is obscured, and the reflection of regional characteristic is insufficient. In addition, enforcement of outward decentralized police activities and promotion of decentralized police activities is insufficient.
A Study on the Register of College Students’ Writing

Based on college students’ writing data, this study investigated various uses via basic quantitative analysis, measurement of colloquialism, and comparative analysis of usage. In Chapter 3, the length of sentences by registers was measured. As a result, self-introduction and photo image writing had the shortest sentences, while proposal writing had the longest. Lexical diversity analysis revealed that travel writing had the lowest lexical diversity, and photographic image writing had the highest. Lastly, the vocabulary density was highest in proposal writing and the lowest in self-introduction, and all six registers showed values lower than the average vocabulary density of previously measured Korean written texts.&#x0D; A comparison of colloquial features measures in six registers and a usage analysis of specific vocabulary were performed in Chapter 4. First, we examined the distribution of 16 particles identified as highly colloquial vocabulary in existing research. Next, we compared and organized the usage of the dependent noun “geo” and the common noun “ttae” with high colloquiality scores by region of use. Influenced by, the incorrect use of the frequently used common noun “bubun” was also examined through usage analysis.&#x0D; We presente d a variety of quantitative measurement methods used in corpus linguistics, which is expected to be of considerable help in college writing research, where corpus linguistics research is relatively less advanced. In addition, sub-corpus were created and compared by register, and the writing data produced by individual students can also be quantitatively analyzed using the same method. In other words, through this comparative work, a student’s writing ability can be qualitatively measured and presented.&#x0D; In addition, supplementing and organizing the usage analysis performed in this study into a collection of usages will make it possible to use it as specific sentence usages in the development of writing textbooks or writing education at colleges in the future.
OppaSakak from the perspective of “Place of Memory”

In this study, the children’s song OppaSakak was premised as a place of memory.&#x0D; First, I attempted to examine the significance of OppaSakak at the time and how it was “remembered.” First, OppaSakak was significant at the time because Choi Soon-ae, who wrote the song, was a “Juvenile Writer.” Juvenile writers developed into professional writers in the process of posting as readers of newspapers and magazines. Second, it was significant because of the emergence of female subjects. At this time, the female subject referred to a woman as a writer and a woman who expressed her desire. Third, it was significant in that “Oppa” can symbolize the liberation of the country.&#x0D; OppaSakak, which was included in Eorini in November 1925, is still sufficiently popular to be called “National Children’s Song”. At this time, OppaSakak was present as a memory of a group that brought out the identity of Koreans or Koreans.
The Determinants of OECD/DAC Member Countries’ Aid in Support of Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment: With a Focus on Commitments Dedicated as a Principal Objective

Purpose: This study aims to empirically analyze the determinants of OECD/DAC member countries’ aid in support of gender equality aid as a principle objective(gender marker 2).&#x0D; Originality: International community has emphasized gender equality as a key principle and norm of development cooperation, and OECD/DAC has led international discussions and policy efforts on aid for gender equality. While discussions on gender and development has focused on normative and practical aspects, the motivation of donors’ commitments for gender equality has remained unanswered. To bridge this gap, this study empirically analyzes the determinants of OECD/DAC member countries’ aid in support of gender equality and draws upon policy implications.&#x0D; Methodology: Considering that the aid amount is panel data left-censored at zero, the panel Tobit model is used for the analysis.&#x0D; Result: It is found that the aid in support of gender equality increases as a recipient country’s gender needs increase; women’s representation in a donor country increases; a recipient country tends to have received more gender aids from OECD/DAC members; and the presence of women’s international NGOs increases in a donor country. Contrary to our hypothesis, however, the gender aid decreases as donor government increases social spending on family benefits.&#x0D; Conclusion and Implication: A strong humanitarian motivation was found behind the donor countries' aid support for gender equality, and thus it is important to provide good information on recipient countries’ gender needs. Also, international community’s efforts to make the gender equality an international norm need to keep continued as they have been successful in increasing donors’ commitments for the gender equality. In particular, the role of women’s international NGOs has to be shed more light on. Also, donor countries’ social values affects their commitments towards the gender equality overseas. The tension between domestic social expenditure on family benefits and supports for gender equality overseas requires further research and discussion in the future.
Development of a Diagnostic Tool to Measure the ICT Literacy Competency of College Freshmen: A Focus on the Case of M University

This study aims to develop a diagnostic tool to measure the information and communications technology (ICT) literacy capabilities of college freshmen. In the increasing dependence of ICT on teaching and learning, the diagnostic tool will help in operating software education for all freshmen, especially non-majors. To develop the diagnostic tool, ICT literacy competency diagnosis area and subattributes were defined through domestic and international literature study and empirical research. Moreover, diagnostic questions for the sub-attributes were developed. To validate the diagnostic tool, content validity was analyzed twice by experts, and a preliminary survey was conducted on freshmen from different departments. Through a preliminary survey, a diagnostic tool of ICT literacy competency was developed, comprising 30 questions. SPSS 24.0, R, and Excel 2016 programs were used to analyze the data. Additionally, differences in performances by department and area were analyzed for ICT literacy competency. Item analysis, percent correct, difficulty of percent correct, and item differentiation were also analyzed. Results show that average scores for information creation and information management capabilities for all freshmen by department, excluding natural science and engineering departments, were lower than those for other capabilities. This shows that they are not proficient in employing commonly used ICT tools and adept in general computer management tasks such as file compression and copying. Furthermore, art department students showed statistically significantly lower scores in all competencies than students of other departments. Therefore, different curriculum composition, programming language selection, and teaching and learning strategies are necessary when providing software education to all students. The ICT literacy competency diagnosis tool is essential to evaluate students’ performance levels and determine their actual proficiency in handling ICT.
