Authors: Lestari Ajeng , Muhdir Ibnu , Ashari Nesha Rizky
Published: January 2025

This study aims to explain economic growth in ASEAN countries. The variables that affect the economic growth rate are trade openness, foreign direct investment, and exports. This study uses secondary data from the World Bank and UNCTAD. The data is annual data from 2018-2022. The analytical tool used is the Vector Error Corrections Model (VECM), which uses a unit root test, optimal lag test, cointegration test, and VECM model. The results show that trade openness, FDI, and exports affect economic growth in the short-term analysis, but FDI and exports hurt economic growth. In the long run, the results of this study indicate that trade openness does not affect economic growth. At the same time, FDI significantly affects economic growth in ASEAN countries, and exports do not affect economic growth in 2018- 2022.

Authors: Ramadanti Sarindang Suci , Azwardi  , Subardin Muhammad
Published: January 2025

This study explores the relationships between economic growth, environmental quality, and social welfare in the mineral economy provinces of Eastern Indonesia, which are heavily dependent on the mining sector—using simultaneous equation models and secondary data from 2015–2022. Empirical results show a bidirectional causal relationship between EQI and HDI, suggesting that improvements in environmental quality enhance human development, and higher human development levels contribute to better environmental quality. Additionally, a unidirectional causal relationship between EQI and GDP indicates that improvements in environmental quality can lead to economic growth. Still, economic growth alone does not necessarily lead to improvements in environmental quality.
The Influence of Exchange Rate, Export, Import and Economic Growth on Turkish Inflation
Authors: Maharani Risky Amelia , Arifin Zaenal
Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the effect of exchange rate, exports, imports, and economic growth on Turkey's inflation over 1992-2022. Using annual time series data, this study applies the multiple linear regression method to identify these variables' relationships. Before conducting the regression analysis, a stationarity test is performed using the second difference method to ensure that the data does not have significant trends or seasonal patterns. The results show that the exchange rate positively and significantly affects inflation in Turkey. Exports and economic growth show a positive but insignificant effect, while imports negatively and significantly affect inflation. These findings indicate that fluctuations in the exchange rate and import volume are more influential in determining the inflation rate in Turkey than exports and economic growth. This study concludes that an effective monetary policy to control inflation in Turkey should consider exchange rate management and import control. Other factors, such as exports and economic growth, may have less influence on inflation during the studied period.

Phonetic Characteristics of Korean w-Diphthongs Pronounced by Female Chinese Learners: Focusing on Dynamic Changes Within the Syllable
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, SHON SANGMI
Published: January 2025

Objectives The purposes of this study are to identify the phonetic characteristics of Korean w-diphthongs pronounced by Chinese learners, particularly by dividing the syllable into five segments to observe the changes occurring within each segment.
Methods To achieve this, the diphthongs pronounced by 10 female native Korean speakers born in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province and 10 Chinese beginner-level learners enrolled in an international education institute at a university in Seoul were analyzed and compared using a phonetic analysis program. F1 and F2 values were obtained at six points within each syllable using a script in the phonetic analysis program Praat, and these were then plotted on a graph. Additionally, statistical processing was conducted for each point to identify differences between native Korean speakers and Chinese learners.
Results The results of the study confirmed that Chinese learners tend to pronounce /ㅘ/ and /ㅝ/ as /ㅘ/+ /ㅜ/ and /ㅝ/+ /ㅜ/, respectively. It was also observed that when pronouncing /ㅙ/, /ㅚ/, /ㅟ/, and /ㅞ/, the jaw opening was smaller at the final point of F1. For F2, the values were relatively higher when pronouncing /ㅚ/, while /ㅞ/ showed less overall change compared to Korean speakers. Among Korean speakers, /ㅙ/, /ㅚ/, and /ㅞ/ were similar, but the starting points and movement patterns of /ㅙ/, /ㅚ/, and /ㅞ/ pronounced by Chinese learners differed.
Conclusions Through this, it can be concluded that when teaching or correcting the pronunciation of Korean diphthongs for beginner-level Chinese learners, it is important to ensure they are not pronouncing them as triphthongs. If necessary, instruction should be provided to ensure they are pronounced as diphthongs. Additionally, it is essential to check that the tongue's front-back positioning is correct and to verify whether there are differences in the pronunciation of /ㅙ/, /ㅞ/, and /ㅚ/ compared to native Korean speakers.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Moon KyoungYeon , Shim Taeeun
Published: January 2025

Objectives This study aims to examine the trends of previous research on immersion involving university students through keyword network analysis and to identify the patterns within this body of research.
Methods Based on a total of 436 papers related to immersion, this study utilized Textom to apply text mining techniques, analyzing key keywords related to university student immersion, patterns of connectivity concerning student immersion, and clustering relationships among network keywords related to student immersion. For analysis, matrices were extracted to calculate values for word clouds, word frequency, keyword TF-IDF values, and social network analysis. Additionally, the study analyzed the relationships among co-occurring keywords in studies on student immersion using N-gram analysis. CONCOR analysis was also conducted to derive word similarity clusters.
Results Through an analysis of studies on immersion involving university students, the following research findings were derived. Since 2011, studies related to immersion have expanded, with a variety of perspectives forming academic trends, especially around the COVID period. Research topics related to immersion, such as competency development, learning engagement, and career choice, were prominent. Additionally, it was observed that communication and collaboration within various organizations became possible on the basis of digital media, with a trend toward focusing on immersion in digital devices and media communication as specific research subjects. There was also an academic interest in the social phenomenon of the younger generation pursuing happiness through immersion experiences related to leisure and well-being. On the other hand, it was noted that in an uncertain social outlook, students’ immersion has increasingly become oriented toward problematic subjects or skewed toward negative behavioral patterns.
Conclusions As there have been no prior studies analyzing trends in university student immersion research using keyword network analysis methodology, this study is expected to contribute to exploring new directions for future research on university student immersion.

Exploring Awareness of Jigsaw and TGT and Ways to Utilize them: A Case Study from D Graduate School of Education
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Suh MeeOck
Published: January 2025

Objectives This study examined to explore pre-service teachers’ opinions Jigsaw and teams-games-tournaments(TGT) and explore ways to utilize the Jigsaw and TGT when AI digital curriculum becomes active in the future.
Methods The subjects of this study were 21 graduate school students in education. During the ‘Educational Methods and Educational Technology’ teaching class, three people formed a group and experienced the Jigsaw and TGT. After the cooperative learning(15th week), participants were asked to freely describe their experiences and opinions about advantages and disadvantages of the two methods, and how to use them in their future classes. Content analysis was conducted based on the research subjects' reflection journals and testimonials, and qualitative analysis was conducted based on this.
Results The Graduate school students in education evaluated Jigsaw and TGT positively. In particular, the expert group activity was evaluated as an activity that increases responsibility at Jigsaw. However, the negative aspect of causing confusion if a group member incorrectly explains something they did not understand was also mentioned. Although TGT induces activity, active participation, and interest, there were also negative opinions that it was different from true cooperation. This negative aspect is a problem that can be compensated for by using AI.
Conclusions In educational settings where AI digital textbooks are active, Jigsaw and TGT are expected to play a helpful role in supplementary and in-depth learning. This is because these two models are easy to apply to AI-based lesson design. In addition, we proposed ways to utilize Jigsaw and TGT in future classrooms.

Results Four themes and nine sub-themes were extracted from the study participants' clinical practice experiences in Japanese hospitals. The sub-themes of ‘strengthening nursing competence’ were various basic nursing practice opportunities, specialised geriatric nursing experiences and establishing an ideal nursing image, while the sub-themes of ‘growth through meaningful relationships’ were improving self-esteem through interaction with nurses and bonding with patients across language barriers. The sub-themes of ‘increased interest in global nursing’ were improved understanding of healthcare cultures in different countries, motivation to learn foreign languages and work abroad, and the sub-themes of ‘challenges of being a foreign trainee’ were limitations due to language and cultural differences and difficulties due to different practice settings.
Conclusions The clinical practicum experience in Japanese hospitals was an opportunity for the participants to grow as competent nurses by experiencing the advanced nursing culture and diversity of clinical practice. This study provides basic data and implications for nursing practitioners, educators, and students on future clinical practicum in Japanese hospitals.

Objectives This study investigates how learning reflection journals and presentation assignments foster student agency among Korean and international students majoring in Korean language education at S University.
Methods To achieve this, the study first examined the components and processes of student agency. Then through a triangulation method, the manifestation of student agency was explored by analyzing learning reflection journals and presentation assignments conducted during class. The data for the analysis included the results of a survey on the cognitive domain of self-directed competency developed by S University, learning reflection journals submitted by learners during class, presentation materials, post-interview data, as well as feedback from instructors and peers.
Results The components of student agency were identified as ① purposefulness, ② investment of time and effort, ③ reflection, ④ responsibility, and ⑤ interaction. Through exploring the significance of learning reflection journals and presentations, it was confirmed that both the learning reflection journals and presentations played an important role in enhancing student’ ① self-directed learning abilities, ② career exploration, ③ interaction facilitation, and ④ positive attitudes towards academics. Specifically, with respect to the learning reflection journals, student demonstrated purposefulness, invested time and effort, and deepened their understanding of the leaarning content through repeated reflection, while connecting it to their career paths. During this process, responsibility and interaction with the instructor were evident. Additionally, the presentations exhibited student’ purposefulness, investment, reflection, and responsibility before, during, and after the presentation. Through interaction not only with the instructor but also with peers, students mainifested their agency in the learning process.
Conclusions This study confirms, through the triangulation method, that learning reflection journals and presentations have a posotive impact on the manifestation of student agency. Learning reflection journals and presentations help both Korean and international students actively engage in the learning process, set their own learning directions, and invest time and effort to develop concrete strategies for achieving their goals. It is expected that these abilities will have an educational impact, helping to go beyond simple academic achievement in college and enabling them to take a leading role in future society.

A graph-state based synthesis framework for Clifford isometries
Authors: Goubault de Brugière Timothée , Martiel Simon , Vuillot Christophe
Published: January 2025

We tackle the problem of Clifford isometry compilation, i.e, how to synthesize a Clifford isometry into an executable quantum circuit. We propose a simple framework for synthesis that only exploits the elementary properties of the Clifford group and one equation of the symplectic group. We highlight the versatility of our framework by showing that several normal forms of the literature are natural corollaries. We recover the state of the art two-qubit gate depth necessary for the execution of a Clifford circuit on an LNN architecture, concomitantly with another work. We also propose practical synthesis algorithms for Clifford isometries with a focus on Clifford operators, graph states and codiagonalization of Pauli rotations. Benchmarks show that in all three cases we improve the 2-qubit gate count and depth of random instances compared to the state-of-the-art methods. We also improve the execution of practical quantum chemistry experiments.
