Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Oh Jung Hee
Published: October 2023

Objectives This study tried to explore the Qualification Exam from the perspective of lifelong education within the broad of recognition of learning results. To provide basic data for research that explores the activation and direc-tion of learning results recognition for adult learners, considering the Qualification Exam as an academic recog-nition system for adult learners, the characteristics of the formation and change of the components that make up the learning support system were looked at.
Methods To this end, the literature research method was applied. Various documents, research reports, stat-istical data, academic papers and dissertations, and past newspaper data related to the academic recognition sys-tem and Qualification Exam were collected, and public policy information and public relations data were collected and analyzed by visiting government websites.
Results As a result of the study, the functions and characteristics of three components of the system supporting the learning of the Qualification Exam for adult learners were confirmed. The first, they are laws and institutions. The relevant laws laid the groundwork for the academic recognition system, and the academic recognition sys-tem, including Qualification Exam, provided educational opportunities and created an environment for learning support system based on this. The second, they are support policies and institutions. Educational institutions op-erate the class to prepare Qualification Exam, and provide learning space. The driving force for learning support has been supported by support projects and policies. Finally, the learner who motivates the above components to achieve their goals is both the target and the result.
Conclusions The Qualification Exam was understood as a concept with a limited function of ‘the tests to get a school diplomas that people who could not attend school because of poverty'. However, through this study, it was confirmed that the Qualification Exam pursues the philosophy of lifelong education as it functions as a system for recognizing academic background and learning results in which the elements of law, system, policy, educational institution, and learner are linked.

Published: October 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study is to verify the difference between university life adaptation and career deci-sion self-efficacy according to the number and period of leave of absence and the level of goal achievement of university students.
Methods The subjects of this study were 140 university students who had taken a leave of absence from S University in the capital area. Using SPSS 25.0, the tendency (M, SD) and normality (skewness, kurtosis) of study variables were analyzed, and reliability was presented as Cronbach's alpha. The difference verification according to the number and period of leave of absence and the level of goal achievement was examined by ANOVA analysis (Scheffé post-test).
Results The main findings are as follows. First, there was no statistically significant difference in university life adaptation and sub-area (academic adaptation, social adaptation, personal and emotional adaptation) depending on the number and period of leave of absence, while there was a statistically significant difference between uni-versity life adaptation and sub-area, social adaptation according to the level of goal achievement. As a result of Scheffé post-test, there was statistically significant group difference between university life adaptation and the sub-area, social adaptation in the level of goal achievement during the leave of absence. Second, while there was no statistically significant difference between career decision self-efficacy and the whole sub-area (self-evalua-tion, information collection, goal setting, career plan, and problem-solving) depending on the number and the pe-riod of leave of absence, there was statistically significant difference between career decision self-efficacy and the sub-areas, self-evaluation, information collection, goal setting, career plan, and problem-solving depending on the level of goal achievement. As a result of Scheffé's post-test, there was statistically significant group differ-ence between career decision self-efficacy and the sub-areas, self-evaluation, information collection, goal set-ting, career plan, and problem-solving depending on the level of goal achievement.
Conclusions The results of this study are meaningful in that it provided an opportunity to reconsider the meaning of leave of absence system in university in terms of student development. Therefore, I would like to present a sys-tem and a way to prevent the university dropout.
Rethinking James A. Banks' Approach to Reforming the Multicultural Curriculum: Based on Schwab's practical approach
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Jaechang
Published: October 2023

Objectives In the field of multicultural curriculum research, Banks' approach to multicultural curriculum reform is recognized as one of the representative theories. However, as some theories fixed the discussion of multicultural curriculum, the external expansion of multicultural curriculum theory was limited. In this study, the validity of Banks’ approach was examined from various angles through Schwab's practical approach.
Methods As part of Schwab's arts of practical, a survey of 316 teachers was conducted, and multiple response analysis, frequency analysis, and cross-analysis were conducted. As part of Schwab's arts of eclectic, the root cause of the problems of Banks' theory appeared in the survey was explored through literature analysis.
Results As a result of analyzing the first research question, Banks' multicultural education approach consisted of four approaches: a contributions approach, an additive approach, a transformation approach, and a decision-mak-ing and social action approach, and gradation and value sequence were inherent among them. As a result of the analysis of the second research question, there were many gaps between the practice and awareness of field teachers' multicultural education from Banks' theory. As a result of the analysis of the third research question, the gap problem in Banks' theory is fundamentally lack of philosophical arrangement for each approach, inherent ele-ments that can encourage value sequencing of educational activities by school level, Ignoring the multilayered ap-plicability of approaches according to the complexity and context of educational content, and the specific scope of curriculum transformation was absent in the transformative approach.
Conclusions It was suggested, first, Banks' approach to reforming the multicultural curriculum needs to reinforce philosophical discussions, second, after restoring the equivalence of educational order or educational value among approaches, to modify the approach so that it can be used selectively according to the educational content, third, to provide specific guidelines so that teachers can apply them.

Published: October 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of play-centered activities utilizing original children's songs on the musical expression abilities and playfulness of three-year-old children.
Methods The study focused on 40 children aged 3, attending the preschool class at S Kindergartens in Seoul. In the experimental group, play-centered activities utilizing original children's songs were implemented for 16 weeks, while the comparison group engaged in music-centered activities based on the Nuri curriculum for the same duration. Measurement tools included the music expression ability assessment tool revised and refined by Kim Kwang-ja (2004), and the playfulness assessment tool revised and refined by Kim Young-hee (1995). To vali-date the educational effects of play-centered activities using age-appropriate songs, pre- and post-tests were conducted on children from both the experimental and comparison groups. The independent samples t-test was performed and analyzed using the SPSS 18.0 program.
Results The research findings indicate that, firstly, play-centered activities utilizing original children's songs were effective in enhancing the musical expression abilities of children, including singing, playing musical instruments, body expression, and creating music. Secondly, these play-centered activities were also effective in improving children's playfulness, including physical spontaneity, social spontaneity, cognitive spontaneity, expression of joy, and sense of humor.
Conclusions This indicates the significance of utilizing play-centered activities with original children's songs for enhancing the musical expression ability and playfulness of 3-year-old children. This study holds importance in moving away from the traditional teacher-centered approach of planned song instruction, and instead, assisting teachers to actively employ original children's songs, thus aiding in the understanding and implementation of child-led play activities.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Han Jungmin Grace
Published: October 2023

Objectives This qualitative study aimed to examine Korean preservice music teachers’ perceptions of portfo-lio-based teacher education.
Methods A focus group interview along with an open-ended survey was executed with five preservice music teachers who were enrolled in the same portfolio-based music history education course at a graduate school of education in Seoul, Korea. The collected data were transcribed in Korean, translated it into English, and then in-ductively analyzed.
Results The findings show as follows. First, all the participants have rarely experienced portfolio-based learning. Second, the portfolio-based learning approach is perceived as a way to self-driven learning experience, which promoted their own growth and capacity for critical thinking and self-expression. Meanwhile, heavy-loaded as-signments and inconcrete learning objectives were found to form their negative perceptions of portfolio-based learning approach. Third, for succesful portfolio-based learning and teaching, teacher educators’ detailed learning objectives and guidelines along with good questions as well as assignment qualities are found to be essential.
Conclusions In conclusion, portfolio-based teacher education approach can promote preservice music teachers’ capacity for self-driven learning and teaching. As for its open-ended nature, teacher educators’ role and attitude can be key components component for successful portfolio-based learning and teaching experiences. For future stud-ies, it is important to continue to discuss possibilities and limitations of portfolio-based music teacher education by reflecting the study’s findings and implications. It will ultimately optimize ways to empower music student teachers’ agency and capacity. This study contributes to underrepresented portfolio-based Korean music teacher education theory and practice.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Jung Kyung Hee , Wee Eun Hah
Published: October 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of college students' perception of global cit-izenship and change through case studies that combine global citizenship education programs as university liberal arts education with clothing life curriculum.
Methods To this end, the global citizenship education program “Global citizenship in the closet” was developed by applying the ADDIE teaching and learning model through literature and prior research analysis. By setting class goals and topics for each week, and structuring the class environment mixed with non-face-to-face and face-to- face classes centered on teaching-learning course plans and class materials, researchers operated it as a liberal arts course at C University in Gwangju. It was intended to derive the possibility and effectiveness of global citizen-ship education fused with other subjects through discussions on the results obtained through post-class surveys and open question analysis.
Results As a result, students actively participated as global citizens in the global citizenship education program fused with the clothing life curriculum developed in this study. In addition, it is effective to actively utilize an online class platform to communicate with students when conducting activity classes through pros and cons discussions and thoughts sharing, and students' confidence in organizing and speaking their opinions has been increased through several discussions and thoughts sharing classes. The application of the flip learning teaching method that provides video data before class during face-to-face practice classes was evaluated as a positive way to con-trol the speed of practice among students. Special lectures for students' perception and content expansion have the scope of clothing life education in their majors, but they were able to expand the depth of the course without losing the direction of the course by conducting three special lectures based on global issues. Finally, the results of the survey to change students' class satisfaction and global citizenship perception showed that most of the stu-dents who took this class clearly showed changes in the “technology” and “will to practice” areas compared to the “knowledge” and “attitude” areas.
Conclusions Considering these points, it is expected that it will be possible to include the core of global citizenship education in other liberal arts curriculum as a university liberal arts curriculum, and it will be more effective if it is operated in combination with career, society, and design education.
A Study on the German Corresponding Form of the Korean Adverbial case marker ‘에’, ‘에서’, ‘(으)로’ for the German Speaking Korean Learners
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Bak hyegyeong , Park deokyu
Published: October 2023

Objectives This study aims to present the educational direction of the Korean adverbial case markers ‘에’, ‘에서’ and ‘(으)로’ for German speaking Korean learners by examining their corresponding expressions in German.
Methods In order to examine the various semantic functions of the Korean adverbial case markers ‘에’, ‘에서’ and ‘(으)로’, several dictionaries were consulted. They are based on the classification criteria and explored their corre-sponding expressions in German. While the Korean adverbial case markers ‘에’, ‘에서’ and ‘(으)로’ often have multi-ple corresponding German prepositions, the grammatical functions of the Korean adverbial case markers and German prepositions are different.
Results The Korean adverbial case markers ‘에’, ‘에서’ and ‘(으)로’ are mostly matched with German prepositions, but due to differences in grammatical functions between Korean adverbial case markers and German preposi-tions, the actual structures and forms realized in sentences are different. It has also identified cases where they are realized not only as German prepositions but also as conjunctions and adverbs. A single preposition corre-sponds to one specific meaning function of the adverbial case markers, while it can correspond to two or more adverbial case markers, showing various patterns. In particular, the preposition ‘zu’ corresponds to multiple meaning functions of Korean adverbial case markers. Some of the German prepositions that correspond to the adverbial case marker ‘에’ combine with Korean nouns indicating place (direction) and time expressions. German adverbs corresponding to ‘에’ and ‘(으)로’ combine with Korean nouns and adjectives indicating place (direction).
Conclusions In this study, considering the characteristics revealed through the correspondence between the Korean adverbial case markers ‘에’, ‘에서’ and ‘(으)로’ and their German corresponding expressions, it is important to teach and learn efficiently. In this regard, Korean instructors should guide German learners to understand the various meaning functions of adverbial case markers in different situations and contexts. Especially since adver-bial case markers can be realized not only as German prepositions but also as conjunctions, adverbs, and so on, education should be provided to prevent errors of corresponding expressions.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kwon Kyoung-In , Shin Sung-mi
Published: October 2023

Objectives This study aims to understand the characteristics of self-harming people by analyzing the contents of comments uploaded by self-harming people to YouTube videos related to “self-harm,” and to find effective counseling intervention by confirming the characteristics of their online activities.
Methods Comments on the top 9 videos derived by searching for the keyword “self-harm” on YouTube were collected. Among them, topic modeling was conducted with comments from users who reported that they had self-harm experience. Topic modeling is a method of deriving core topics from big data and reviewing and pre-senting optimal documents representing the derived core topics. Through this, 10 topics and 20 sub-topics were selected.
Results Selected topics include “Psychiatry and medication started with fear of self-harm.”, “Response to the content of the video.”, “Difficulties faced in consulting with self-harm.”, “Reaction to the video you uploaded.”, “Self-harm related bullying, academic problems.”, “The will to commit suicide and the hesitation caused by family.”, “Self-harm that was attempted suicide.”, “Parents' reaction to self-harm.”, “Short-term and long-term effects of self-harm.”, “The emotions that others react to self-harm.”.
Conclusions Measures should be prepared to increase accessibility to medical and counseling interventions to reduce self-harm behavior, and to solve ethical difficulties that may be experienced when counseling self-harm participants. Self-harming people were being comforted by the empathy they got online and were praying for ev-eryone's recovery. Based on this, a counseling intervention method that can help self-harming people was pre-sented, and opinions on the significance, limitations, and future research were presented.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Park Hee Jung , Kim Yang Sun , Shin Hyo Jung
Published: October 2023

Objectives This study was conducted to verify the mediating effect of emotion recognition clarity in the relation-ship between insecure adult attachment and interpersonal ability.
Methods To this end, a total of 321 copies of data were finally analyzed online for unmarried adult men and women in their 20s and 30s. Based on the collected data, descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were performed using the SPSS 23 program, and structural models and mediating effects were verified using the AMOS 22.0 program.
Results The results of this study are as follows: First, anxious attachment and avoidant attachment showed a negative correlation with emotional clarity and interpersonal ability. Emotion recognition clarity and interpersonal ability showed a positive correlation. Second, in the effect of anxious attachment on interpersonal ability, emotion recognition clarity showed a significant complete mediating effect. Third, in the effect of avoidant attachment on interpersonal ability, emotion recognition clarity showed a significant partial mediating effect. In other words, at-tachment insecurity directly affects interpersonal skills. Low emotional clarity can lead to low interpersonal skills, and attachment avoidance directly affects interpersonal skills, but low emotional clarity can reduce interpersonal relationships. It suggests that the ability may be lowered.
Conclusions These research results indicate that anxious attachment and avoidant attachment affect inter-personal ability through emotional clarity, and that individuals with anxious attachment and avoidant attachment in early adulthood clearly understand their emotions experienced in interpersonal relationships. It is significant in suggesting the need for counseling intervention to improve interpersonal skills by helping to communicate well.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Choi JeomSoon
Published: October 2023

Objectives The purposes of this study were to analyze for adolescents among children of multicultural families, this study examined how the career support behaviors of parents from multicultural families affect their children's career decision level.
Methods A structural equation model was established based on the relationship between parent-perceived ca-reer support, child-perceived career support, child-perceived career interference, child achievement motivation, and child career decision-making using multicultural youth panel data from the Korea Youth Policy Institute.
Results The higher the level of career support of parents of multicultural families, the higher the achievement motivation of their children. According to gender, male children were found to be more aware of their parents' ca-reer support than female children. The higher the urban area and household income, the more parents perceived themselves to provide career support for their children. It was recognized that the higher the educational level of multicultural parents and the younger they were, the more career support they gave to their children, and the same was true for their children. Even if the level of career support for their children, perceived by parents, in-creased, it did not directly increase their children's career decision-making. Between the level of career support perceived by parents and their children's career decision-making, children's achievement motivation had a partial mediating effect.
Conclusions In multicultural family parent education, father education should be strengthened, and at the same time, education on career guidance should be implemented. Career education considering the characteristics of multicultural families is necessary. Parents of multicultural families need to raise awareness of the importance of being involved in career decision-making for their children. There is a need for career education for youth from multicultural families appropriate to the times. It is necessary to additionally explore how internal characteristics such as parents' psychological characteristics and values affect their children's career perception.

Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 41(3): 272-277. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-041.3.272277 The European grapevine moth, Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), a palearctic pest, has been the target of an international control campaign. Agricultural production areas in Armenia were identified as lacking effective control in 2019- 2020. The results of using a mixture of bacterial and chemical insecticides (BTTER-55 + Coragen, BTTER-94 + Coragen) were effective in controlling this pest. Coragen combined with sublethal concentration of bacterial insecticides (BTTER-55 + Coragen, BTTER-94 + Coragen) showed high biological efficiency against young larvae of grapevine moth under vineyard conditions. It has been proven also that, Coragen together with the applied insecticides that fell on the soil after spraying were less dangerous ecologically since they reduced the number of soil-living ammonifiers for only a short period (1-2 months). In addition, results obtained confirmed that the bacterial insecticides BTTER-55 and BTTER-94 differed in morphological and physiological features, particularly in the size of vegetative cells and spores formed by them, as well as in the size of insecticidal crystalline bodies, colonies shape and assimilation of carbon and nitrogen sources. Keywords: Armenia, European grapevine moth, insecticide, Invasive pests, Plant protection.

Authors: Jeet Kamal , Kumar Kapil , Joshi Aparna , Ikram Ikram , Rajput Vaishali
Published: October 2023

The purpose of present study was to enhance the aqueous solubility of olanzapine by using the Solid dispersion technique. Solid dispersions of olanzapine were prepared by the dispersion method using PGS and SSG as carriers. Drug-carrier ratios such as 1 : 1, 1 : 2, 1 : 4, 1 : 6, 1: 8 and 1 : 10 were tried for optimization. Characterization was done by phase solubility, in-vitro release, saturation solubility, permeation, wettability, XRD and FTIR analysis. Solid dispersions showed higher solubility and an improved drug release profile than the pure drug. Solid dispersion and physical mixture with a drug-polymer ratio of 1 : 10 showed the best release profile in comparison with the other samples. Phase solubility results verified the solubilization effect of the carrier. XRD and NIR analysis confirmed the reduction of crystallinity in the samples. The release study findings were well supported by the results of wettability, saturation solubility and permeability studies. IR analysis substantiated the inertness of the carrier. It was concluded that pregelatinised starch (PGS) and sodium starch glycollate (SSG) could be utilized as effective carriers to improve the aqueous solubility of poorly soluble drugs.

Keywords: Olanzapine, solid dispersion, solubility, evaluation.

This article presents the results of sociological research of directions of supplementary education for children and the assessment of their impact on the personal and career-oriented development of younger generation on the example of the Khabarovsk territory. Supplementary education for children is considered by the authors in the context of the concept of «educational space», which is interpreted as a part of society, with its own system of subject-object relations of the state and the other structures for personal and professional education of children and youth. Analysis of the main scientific approaches to the study of educational space presented in the article gives the authors a reason to use it for sociological research. Empirical results of sociological surveys obtained by the authors and domestic research centers indicate that the all-Russian trend towards increasing the diversity of educational services remains a significant role in their regional location. Based on the data of sociological surveys of parents and children of different age groups, it is shown that the design of an individual children's educational space depends on many objective conditions and subjective factors in terms of the possibilities of the territory and families. The attitudes of parents, available resources and willingness to make efforts for the personal and career-oriented development of children determine the form and content of the regional supplementary educational space to the greatest extent. The authors consider it expedient to improve the state educational policy in direction of ensuring the quality of conditions and accessibility of classes for each child and success of their personal development and career guidance choice, regardless of the place of residence in the Khabarovsk territory.

Transformations taking place in the Russian Far East in the recent decades have been accompanied by a significant reduction in the population associated with the migration outflow and excess of the mortality rate over the birth rate, degradation of the existing settlement system. These trends are especially strong in the northern regions, as well as in the northern part of the territories and regions of the south of the region. The purpose of this work is to assess changes in demographic processes occurring in the settlements of municipalities of the Amur region, equated to the regions of the Far North, to determine the transformations taking place in the current settlement system for the period of 1989–2023. Analysis of the features of development of demographic processes in areas equated to the Far North, taking into account the characteristics of municipalities and the system of settlements that has developed during the development of economic activity, allows us to assess the possibilities of implementing program goals and prospects for the transformation of the settlement system. Assessment of the features of migration and natural movement of population in the municipalities of the north of the region, indicate decline of the population, degradation of its structure. The paper describes the dynamics of population change in settlements of various economic specialization, size and distance from the district center. The role of natural and climatic factors, the peculiarities of the organization of production in the extractive industries is determined. It is revealed that the emerging dynamics of demographic processes is determined by a combination of factors, among which. In addition to natural and climatic conditions, a significant role is played by the peculiarities of economic activity, the level of development of the complex of social infrastructure in settlements and settlement centers. Obtained results create informational basis for supplementing the developed programs of socio-economic development of municipalities of the northern territories with the definition of prospects for transformations at the level of individual settlements.
