End-to-End Evaluation of a Spoken Dialogue System for Learning Basic Mathematics

The advances in language-based Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies applied to build educational applications can present AI for social-good opportunities with a broader positive impact. Across many disciplines, enhancing the quality of mathematics education is crucial in building critical thinking and problem-solving skills at younger ages. Conversational AI systems have started maturing to a point where they could play a significant role in helping students learn fundamental math concepts. This work presents a task-oriented Spoken Dialogue System (SDS) built to support play-based learning of basic math concepts for early childhood education. The system has been evaluated via real-world deployments at school while the students are practicing early math concepts with multimodal interactions. We discuss our efforts to improve the SDS pipeline built for math learning, for which we explore utilizing MathBERT representations for potential enhancement to the Natural Language Understanding (NLU) module. We perform an end-to-end evaluation using real-world deployment outputs from the Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Intent Recognition, and Dialogue Manager (DM) components to understand how error propagation affects the overall performance in real-world scenarios.
The Phonetics of Derived Words in English

Effects of morphological structure on phonetic detail present us with two challenges. The empirical challenge is that some predictors have produced inconsistent effects. The theoretical challenge is that it is unclear where morpho-phonetic effects originate from. Do speakers decompose words into morphemes? Or can such effects also originate from non-decompositional structure? This book investigates the durational properties of English derived words in four large-scale corpus studies. In the decompositional perspective, durations are modeled as a function of frequency and segmentability, prosodic structure, and affix informativeness. In the non-decompositional perspective, durations are modeled with predictors derived from linear discriminative learning networks. Results show that the decompositional predictors are far less reliable than previously thought. Meanwhile, some non-decompositional predictors model durations successfully. Discriminative learning is shown to be a promising alternative for modeling speech production. However, the book also demonstrates that many investigated predictors are conceptually interrelated. It ultimately cautions against taking the metaphors we use to describe these predictors as final explanations.
Efficient structuring of the latent space for controllable data reconstruction and compression

Explainable neural models have gained a lot of attention in recent years. However, conventional encoder–decoder models do not capture information regarding the importance of the involved latent variables and rely on a heuristic a-priori specification of the dimensionality of the latent space or its selection based on multiple trainings. In this paper, we focus on the efficient structuring of the latent space of encoder–decoder approaches for explainable data reconstruction and compression. For this purpose, we leverage the concept of Shapley values to determine the contribution of the latent variables on the model’s output and rank them according to decreasing importance. As a result, a truncation of the latent dimensions to those that contribute the most to the overall reconstruction allows a trade-off between model compactness (i.e. dimensionality of the latent space) and representational power (i.e. reconstruction quality). In contrast to other recent autoencoder variants that incorporate a PCA-based ordering of the latent variables, our approach does not require time-consuming training processes and does not introduce additional weights. This makes our approach particularly valuable for compact representation and compression. We validate our approach at the examples of representing and compressing images as well as high-dimensional reflectance data.
A Sstudy on the Specification of Educational Goals of University Basic Liberal Arts Writing

This study is about the structure and content of implicit knowledge about the goal of writing education shared by professors who have developed through the experience of university writing education by approaching from the perspective of 'teaching-learning'. For this purpose, Focus Group Interview(FGI) were conducted with 14 writing professors with extensive experience in university writing education. Afterwards, a survey was conducted asking about 100 university writing professors how important they were to recognize and utilize them. As a result of the common factor analysis, at the content level, 'logic and topic delivery, outline writing, overall text composition, and paragraph composition', on the expression level, 'vocabulary and expression, paragraph, text format and quantity, sentence', and situation and context level, it was found that it has a factor structure related to 'achievement of purpose and intention, creativity, and consideration of prospective readers'. The generalization of the research results by expanding the sampling range and elaboration by genre of writing are left as a task for subsequent research.
A Study on the Establishment of Vietnamese Language Proficiency Evaluation Criteria and Questionnaire Guidelines by School Level: Focusing on the Vietnamese Middle School Curriculum

Recently the demand for learning Vietnamese is rapidly increasing for reasons such as employment and local dispatch. However, there are very limited ways to access Vietnamese language learning in Korea. Fortunately as Vietnamese was adopted for the first time in the 2015 College Scholastic Ability Test. Since then, the second foreign language curriculum revised in 2015 by the Ministry of Education has been reflected in the middle school and high school Vietnamese curriculum. Currently NIIED and the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education etc have carried out a project to develop Vietnamese elementary middle and high school textbooks. However there are no studies on systematic evaluation criteria that can guarantee the continuity and reliability of Vietnamese education. Therefore this study aims to contribute to the completion of the curriculum of education evaluation feedback and recording by regulating the evaluation standards that can be applied in the educational field.

The Necessity of Classical Cultural Education Based on the Comparison of Classical Chinese and Korean Language Records: Based on the Data of the Classical Chinese Version of “Yeonki(燕記)” and the Korean Languageversion of “Eulbyeongyeonhaengrok(乙丙燕行錄)”

Based on the data of Hong Dae-yong's 'Yon-haeng-rok' records, “Yeonki(燕記)” and “Eulbyeongyeonhaengrok(乙丙燕行錄)” this study compares the characteristics of Classical Chinese and Korean Language records of the same experience and emphasizes the need for classical cultural education. First, the main point of “Yeonki(燕記)” was in “Theme,” and the main point of “Eulbyeongyeonhaengrok(乙丙燕行錄)” was in “The Journey.” Second, if “Yeonki (燕記)” had a thesisal approach to a specific topic, “Eulbyeongyeonhaengrok(乙丙燕行錄)” described a personal story. Third, “Yeonki(燕記)” gave a relatively realistic description, and “Eulbyeongyeonhaengrok(乙丙燕行錄)” gave a relatively figurative description. Through these materials, it is necessary to teach learners the aspect of classical culture that writing with different purposes and methods coexisted depending on the language, and it is desirable to help them see the reality of culture in three dimensions.
Verification of Effectiveness of Reading-Writing Activities of Literature Classical Texts of College Students

The purpose of this study is to verify the educational effect of reading-writing activities on the classical texts of literature. To verify this, we measured the changes in students' comprehensive thinking ability and knowledge search competency before and after the program, targeting students who took the classic text reading course from the first semester of 2018 to the second semester of 2019. The subject (&lt;Classic of Literature&gt;) is a subject opened in the humanities thinking area among the basic liberal arts. After reading the classic text through the subject-related non-curricular program and writing a critique on it, the critical text is written through 1:1 close guidance with the instructor. In the case of knowledge search competency, it was found that there was a significant effect in all 4 semesters of the experiment.
A Study on Improving Presentation Skills Using Video

One of the demands to students in today's educational and business environment is communication skills. Accordingly, schools are making various efforts to improve students' communication skills. This study on the same line, presents an instrumental methodology as a suggest nature to improve the 'presentation' ability, which is one axis of communication. Students' presentation videos are recorded with the presenter's mobile phone, and the presenter monitors himself and conducts self-inspection activities. If the self-inspection activity is expressed in a schematic way, it is '1st presentation and video recording - video inspection - problem identification - cause analysis - solution suggestion - 2nd presentation and video recording'. As a result of performing such self-inspection activities, the students who participated in the study showed a high growth rate in a short period of time. In addition, it was confirmed that learners' satisfaction with the self-inspection activity using video was high and they had a very positive perception. Through this, a self-inspection feedback method using video is suggest as a methodology to improve presentation ability.

Methods of Teaching and Learning Korean History for Korean Learners: Focusing on the TV Documentary ‘History Channel e’

The purpose of this paper is to present a teaching and learning method using the historical documentary ‘History Channel e’ in order to effectively teach Korean history to Korean learners. This study was examined the importance of Korean history education for Korean learners and analyzed the research results. After examining the principles and methods of history education using documentaries, it was discussed how to use 'History Channel e' in Korean language education. ‘History Channel e' is worth using in history education for Korean learners, but it is effective to select and present some programs suitable for achieving Korean teaching and learning goals rather than using all contents, and 71 contents were selected and presented. One of them was developed and presented as a learner-centered and process-oriented teaching and learning method. Through the development of teaching and learning methods using 'History Channel e', it is expected that Korean history education for Korean learners will be effective. However, as it is still an early-stage discussion, it is important to continuously develop by reflecting various feedbacks through the actual usage in the classroom.
A Study on the Direction of Political Language Education with a Focus on Responsibility

We examine 'responsibility' as a concept that can be used to introduce political ideas in Korean language education. Specifically, our focus is on how politicians invoke the idea of responsibility in public statements. In modern society, the concept of political responsibility has subtleties that cannot be captured by a simple model based on avoidance of criticism. Therefore, the importance of verbal communication about the ‘quality’ and ‘justice’ of political actions increases. As a result of applying such a theoretical analysis to the political discourse produced in the context of a local election for the educational board, we document factors that lead to expressions of shared responsibility between politicians and their audience. Expressions of shared responsibility were made concerning problematic situations, making promises, and responding to conflicts. Based on this, we recommend that political language education includes a reading activity centered on how people interpret declarations of responsibility based on the context and delivery. The goal of this reading activity is to promote a democratic dialogue concerning political action, which can be applied to the learners’ personal political experience.
A Study on the Mindfulness Meditation Experience of University Students

The purpose of this study is to explore the experience and meaning of university students who participated in the mindfulness liberal arts class. The analysis was based on reflection notes and meditation experience journals submitted by 50 university students who participated in the mindfulness class opened as a liberal arts course at K University. Looking at the research results, first, university students experienced a paradigm shift in the perspective of acceptance and observation, not avoidance and response to the stress experienced in daily life. Second, as the internalization of introspection took place, they were sensitively aware of the inner changes and experienced self-care. Third, They experienced various senses that they did not normally experience. Fourth, the sense of connection with others increased and the sentiment of gratitude increased. This study is meaningful in that it presents the possibility and significance of mindfulness in higher education in the future through the process of designing mindfulness meditation as a subject in liberal arts education and analyzing learners' experiences.
Analysis of Self-evaluation in Korean Textbooks

The purpose of this study is to propose a method for presenting self-evaluation of Korean textbooks in the future by identifying the types and characteristics of self-evaluation contained in Korean textbooks. As a result of analyzing the type of self-evaluation of Korean textbooks selected for research, it was found that scale-type self-evaluation was used in all textbooks except for three types, and the textbooks using scale-type self-evaluation were analyzed to actively utilize the checklist. Based on the analysis results, it was suggested as a method for presenting self-evaluation of Korean textbooks to present an evaluation type suitable for the level of proficiency, to clearly present the learning goal, and to present specific self-evaluation items accordingly. The necessity of learner training for self-evaluation was also argued to promote self-evaluation in the field of Korean language education.
A Study on Watching Motivation and Watching Satisfaction of OTT: Focusing on Korean Original Drama

This study empirically analyzed the watching motivation and satisfaction of college students who showed active media use behavior targeting OTT Korean original dramas, which are attracting attention as OTT core contents. In addition, based on the analysis, we presented implications for the direction of production activation and development to improve the watching satisfaction of OTT Korean original dramas. First, as a result of analyzing the motivation factors for OTT Korean original drama watching by college students, four factor structures were identified: 'companion motive', 'use convenience motive', 'social usefulness motive', and 'learning/information motive'. Second, as a result of analyzing the influence of four factors of OTT Korean original drama watching motivation on watching satisfaction, 'use convenience motive' and 'learning/information motive' were found to be statistically significant, and 'use convenience motive' was the most has been found to have a great influence.
A Case Study of General Education Using Classic English Novels: Focusing on Seoul Theological University's 〈H+Reading Classics and Debate〉

This paper aims to re-evaluate classical literature’s fundamental role in liberal education, and propose convergent education that incorporates more English novels. Modern curricula in American universities have systematized the use of classical literature, and since the 2000’s, classical literature has had a significant role in general education in Korea. However, with new focus in convergence education, interest in classical reading education has been dwindling. In order to analyze the possible benefits of classical reading education through English novels, this paper examines two Seoul Theological University courses. These courses show that novels have advantages over other classical literature or genres by being more approachable and interesting. Furthermore, novels are appropriate for convergence education as they deal with complex subjects from many different fields that converge together. English novels in particular are especially beneficial as they allow students to experience foreign cultures and broaden their horizons. For these reasons, we propose that English novels be more actively used in classical reading education.
A Study on Students’ Perceptions for the Implementation of Learner-Centered Education: Focused on the Basic Liberal Arts Education

The purpose of this study is to investigate students' perceptions for implementing learner-centered education and to check the current status and improvement plans of the liberal arts curriculum. In detail, it was attempted to give feedback to liberal arts education by identifying students' perceptions and needs for communication and foreign language basics among the basic liberal arts. These subjects are mainly required for students to take optional compulsory courses from the time of admission. The liberal arts education student monitoring group at K University, selected in the first semester of the 2022 academic year, developed survey questions based on various case studies. After conducting surveys for each area, the analysis results were discussed together. As a result of the survey, it was possible to feel the instructors' efforts to manage the quality of lectures through students' perceptions of each area. At the same time, constructive opinions suggested by the students were drawn on the details of the contents, methods, and evaluation of each lecture. Through this study, it will be possible to establish and reflect the plans for quality management and improvement of the liberal arts curriculum by identifying the students' needs for communication and foreign language basic areas, which are centrally addressed in the basic liberal arts education.
Character Personality and Usage Strategies for the Animated Series Featuring New Guest Characters in Each Episode: Based on the Analysis of “The Octonauts” and “Mom Katuri”

In this study, we analyzed the characteristics of the characters in similar types of animations &lt;The Octonauts&gt; and &lt;Mom Katuri&gt; to find out how they are set and used. As an analysis tool, Enneagram was used, and after dividing the characters of the two works into main, auxiliary, and guest characters, personality types were derived by substituting them into nine types of Enneagram, how each work uses the characters, and the usage strategy was analyzed. As a result of the analysis, a number of characters were set as the main characters in both works, and a unique personality was given, and they were used as an important role in the progress of the play. While &lt;The Octonauts&gt; was actively used by setting various personalities for various auxiliary characters, guest characters were used as auxiliary characters without individuality, and &lt;Mom Katuri&gt; was very small in setting and using auxiliary characters, but it was found that guest characters were actively used by giving them various personalities.
A Study on Influences of LiFE Selection Factors: Focusing on the Social Support's Moderate Effect

The purpose of this study is to examine what is the main selection factor in Lifelong Education at universities for the Future Education(LiFE), Furthermore, the examination of the role of social support for adult learners is through the moderating effect. As a result, the factors affecting the learning performance of adult learners were social reputation and academic factors. Factors influencing university satisfaction were individual characteristics such as gender and age and university selection factors were found to be social reputation and quality of education. Finally, as for the moderating effect of social support. it was found that social support had a positive moderating effect between social reputation and learning outcomes, financial excellence and learning outcomes, and educational quality and learning outcomes. it was found that the degree of learning outcomes of adult learners can vary depending on the degree of social support. This study empirically examines which selection factors affect the future development and operation of LiFE.
