Published: October 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine whether the university's available resources contribute to improving the quality of education in the local community. For this study, the students' perception of the class integrating poetry and video was investigated, and it was also attempted to confirm whether the students' media literacy competency was cultivated through the class.
Methods From October to the end of November 2020, a class that integrated poetry and video was conducted for general high school students, and two surveys were conducted before and after class. The contents of the questionnaire are about students' perception of the class that integrates poetry and video and the cultivation of students' media literacy competency. The respondents were 288 male students.
Results First, students answered that they watched “more than 1 hour to less than 2 hours” of media a day the most. In addition, only about 33% of the students answered that they had participated in a media literacy class. The most common response was ‘middle school’ when they first encountered media literacy education. The students answered that they had encountered media literacy education in the subjects such as Korean, mathematics, technology/home, and art. In addition, students answered that they were generally satisfied with the class time and content. And students recognized that media literacy education was necessary after class rather than before class. Second, as a result of analyzing whether the students' media literacy competency was cultivated, it was confirmed that there was a statistically significant improvement in all areas of ‘understanding, creation⋅expression, value⋅attitude’.
Conclusions First, educational activities that actually contribute to the social participation and communication of students in media literacy classes are required. Second, a long-term plan and support are needed so that the high school and college-linked curriculum using resources available in the community can be operated stably.

Published: October 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study is to explore the measures to measure and utilize major ability for data-based major education quality management through the analysis of previous studies.
Methods Through the analysis of previous studies and the expert council, measures for measuring and utilizing the university's major ability were presented.
Results The detailed conclusions are as follows: First, it was confirmed that the development of the major ability measurement tool was largely divided into three types. A case of developing a measuring tool that can be used universally regardless of the characteristics of the major, a case of developing a customized measuring tool reflecting the characteristics of each major, and a case of using the results of students' academic achievements in CQI, the university's quality management system. Second, measures and utilization measures were presented in the areas of class planning, operation, evaluation, and feedback. In the lesson plan area, when writing the lesson plan, an evaluation plan was established by dividing major abilities into knowledge, skills, and attitudes, and target scores were set for each area so that students could identify the goals of their major ability to reach. In the area of class operation and evaluation, various evaluation methods such as paper-based tests, performance evaluations, assignments, quizzes, and presentations were presented in accordance with the pre-set class plan. In the feedback area, a method of quantifying and visualizing the measurement results of major ability and providing them to professors and students was suggested. Third, it was proposed to develop a certificate of achievement of major ability so that students' major ability could be linked to career decision, employment and foundation.
Conclusions The major ability measurement tool should be developed in a way that confirms the objective ability based on the students' academic achievement data, and a detailed design is required from the lesson planning stage to the feedback after measurement. In addition, it is necessary to develop a plan to utilize the major ability measurement to improve classes or help students find employment and start a business.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kang Shin Hye , Hong Jae Young
Published: October 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences experienced by low-career special teachers while teaching career and vocational subjects at special schools through self-cultural technology magazines and how they formed the expertise of career and vocational classes through such experiences.
Methods The autoethnography research method was used as a means to the ends of this study. Autoethnography is a research method in which researchers use their autobiographical data to describe individual experiences from a self-reflection and self-reflection perspective. From the point of view of the 1st person protagonist and observer, this research method was used to capture the teacher's vivid teaching experience and in-depth class reflection.
Results First, I structured the teacher's curriculum by categorizing practice topics into three levels. In addition, I based our learning goals on the application of making and using practical items in an effort to encourage students with disabilities to lead independent lives when they become adults. Secondly, I designed an evaluation study sheet and result sheet to understand a student's base knowledge and level of performance in practicum. In addition, I came up with an alternative that considers the individual characteristics and abilities of students so that all students can participate in an activity. Thirdly, I implemented repeated learning and formative evaluations, which emphasized on student's learning process. In addition, instead of insisting on a 1:1 or group study, I switched things up. Each week, we rotated 1:1, 2:1, and 3:1 learning, which led to an increase in students' participation in learning activities. Lastly, in order to develop the level of professionalism in the practical subjects, peer reviews and self-assessments were conducted to provide opportunities for class reflection and to develop teaching expertise, such as completing the basic curriculum for natural soap and cosmetics.
Conclusions As a low-experience special teacher, I found that class expertise was formed and improved through class experiences for disabled students with various characteristics, and for professional classes, teachers had to steadily implement self-discipline courses to cultivate PCK.

Published: October 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the structural relationships among pre-service early childhood teachers' satisfaction of major, job performance efficacy, and career maturity, and to analyze the moderating effect of ego-resilience.
Methods This study analyzed the correlation between the variables based on the results of a survey of 191 students enrolled in the department of early childhood education in the 3-year university in the Gyeonggi region, and a structural equation model was applied to grasp the relationship characteristics. For moderating effect analysis, multi-group structural equation modeling was applied to verify the difference by non-metric variables.
Results First, there was a significant correlation between satisfaction of major, job performance efficacy, career maturity, and ego-resilience. Second, satisfaction of major was found to have a direct effect on job performance efficacy and career maturity, respectively, and job performance efficacy was found to have a direct effect on career maturity. In addition, satisfaction of major was found to have an indirect effect on career maturity through job performance efficacy as a medium. Third, for groups with high ego-resilience, satisfaction of major had a positive effect on career maturity, but did not affect job performance efficacy. Job performance efficacy was found to have a positive effect on career maturity. On the other hand, for groups with low ego-resilience, satisfaction of major was found to have a positive effect on both career maturity and job performance efficacy, and have a positive effect on career maturity through job performance efficacy as a medium. That is, in the results of analyzing the moderating effect of ego-resilience, it was confirmed that only the effect of satisfaction of major on career maturity had a moderating effect.
Conclusions Career education for pre-service early childhood teachers in teacher training institutions should be conducted with content and methods that can substantially increase satisfaction of major and job performance efficacy, and in addition, it means that psychological diagnosis and counseling support for improving ego-resilience are also important.

The invasive aspergillosis (IA) continues to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality, difficult to manage in severely immunocompromised patients, however, with its appearance in a heterogeneous group of patients (e.g., critical ICU patients, patients with human immunodeficiency virus [HIV/AIDS], etc.), who were not classically considered high risk, as well as more chronic forms of aspergillosis, (including those with a propensity for invasion), which have been better defined, different antifungal treatment modalities have been established for Aspergillus-associated infections according to the specific patient’s condition. The understanding of the different risk factors for the development of IFI/IA, which are constantly evolving, and which include, among others, the underlying malignancy, the associated condition and treatment, the presence of comorbidities, environmental exposure, and the presence of certain genetic polymorphisms in the patient, allows for a more precise risk stratification, which together with the use of diagnostic algorithms, would allow the characterization of patients who would benefit from the different early intervention strategies, and the optimization of management protocols. The evaluation of the clinical manifestations of the patient is an essential step, as it involves the site of infection, the severity and dynamic nature of immunosuppression, and the characteristics of the etiological agent involved, which with the use of imaging modalities (with an increasingly important role in diagnosis), and of novel and accessible diagnostic tools, useful for the detection and follow-up of the disease, allow the early recognition of the infection, the selection of an early antifungal treatment, the use of more effective antifungal drugs and the development of local clinical practice guidelines

Objective: This study aimed to characterize epidemiological and molecular profile of Healthcare-associated infections [HAI] in 21 intensive care units (ICU) in a city in Colombia. Methods: Descriptive study of prevalence. Adult patients were screened in 21 ICUs for HAIs: VAP, CLABSI; CAUTI and/or SSI. Microbiological and genotypic identification was performed. Results: Prevalence of HAIs was 41.4% (CI 36.9-45.9).VAP 15.8% (CI 12.7-19.4); CLABSI, 13.5% (CI 10.6-16.9); CAUTI, 7.7% (CI 5.5-10.5); and SSI, 4.4% (CI 2.7-6.6). Gram-negative bacteria (71.7%) predominated (P. aeruginosa (19.1%), K. pneumoniae (13.4%) and E. coli (13%)). Pseudomonas spp. 20-30% were resistant to carbapenems and greater than 10% to aztreonam, 3rd- and 4th-generation cephalosporins, and Beta-lactamase inhibitors. In VAP and CLABSI, 30% of Staphylococcus aureus were resistant to oxacillin. In CAUTI, Staphylococcus epidermidis exhibited 100% resistance. In P. aeruginosa resistance gene were blaTEM, blaSHV, and blaCTX-M (15- 32%), KPC (5.7%), and oxacillinases blaOXA-48 (1.8%) and blaOXA-1-40-30 (20-50%). In E. coli, genes qnrB, qnrS and qnrD were identified. In CLABSI, ermC-type (16.7%), aph[2’]’If (7.7%) and ant[4’]-Ia (7.7%) were identified in Staphylococcus aureus. Conclusions: VAP and CLABSI predominate in ICUs evaluated in Colombia due to resistant gram-negative bacteria by ESBL-type resistance genes plasmids, efflux pumps hindering the therapeutic approach.

An analysis on the species richness distribution of marine sharks and batoids for the Colombian Caribbean and Pacific regions was carried out. A total of 138 species was documented in nearby marine waters off Colombia, including 76 sharks and 62 batoids; 20 species occurred on both coasts with the Caribbean generally having a higher observed richness than the Pacific. The Caribbean had high richness values both in the insular as well as in the northern region. However, the highest richness values per spatial unit in the Pacific islands of Gorgona and Malpelo, with completeness richness estimate represented mostly by values below 90%. Richness estimators showed values higher than the observed richness, indicating that the inventories and the description of marine shark and batoid richness in Colombia are still incomplete. Despite this, the results of this study are relevant to make decisions aimed at the conservation of this taxonomic group, both in marine protected and unprotected areas of the Pacific and Caribbean coasts of Colombia

La identificación rápida de troncos y aletas que llegan a puertos pesqueros, constituye uno de los retos para la conservación de los elasmobranquios. Las condiciones en las cuales desembarcan estos organismos crean la necesidad de desarrollar herramientas para su identificación taxonómica a partir de sus troncos y aletas. El trabajo tuvo como objetivo analizar morfológicamente los troncos y aletas de cinco especies comerciales de tiburones capturadas por la pesquería artesanal en el Perú (Mustelus whitneyi, Mustelus mento, Triakis maculata, Sphyrna zygaena y Notorynchus cepedianus). A partir de ello, se realizaron descripciones de las especies, se elaboró una clave dicotómica para su identificación y se compararon las aletas de los juveniles mediante análisis multivariados (análisis de correspondencia y PERMANOVA). Los resultados del estudio muestran que los caracteres morfológicos de los troncos y aletas son efectivos para la identificación de tiburones frecuentemente comercializados en Perú. Los análisis estadísticos nos dicen que existen diferencias entre casi todas las especies con excepción de T. maculata con M. whitneyi, y M. mento con S. zygaena. Utilizando las características de las aletas es posible separar a N. cepedianus (por su afinidad con parámetros a2 y c2) y a M. mento (por su afinidad con el parámetro c1); esto reafirma el potencial que tienen las aletas para ser utilizadas en la identificacion de algunas especies, pero con limitaciones. Los resultados del estudio proporcionan las bases para el desarrollo de guías de identificación de las especies de tiburones frecuentemente capturados con el cuerpo incompleto en el litoral peruano.
