Abstract |
This study aims to demonstrate characteristics and implications which were found as the systematic design of instruction model applied to the development and application of the learning strategies for adaptation to college life of the international student education program. To do this, the program has been developed for international students in national universities located in the provinces based on needs analysis for foreign students, professors, assistants and faculties working for the foreign students.
This project has been operated for 6 weeks with 5 modules including self-understanding, self-management, learning strategy, communication skill, and community and cultural activities and Korean student tutors also joined the program as well as international students. Experts on the learning method have joined and monitored every program and participating students kept records of what they did on the process to make the program better.
As a result of the program development and implementation, we concluded as follows. At first, we confirmed the applicability of instructional systems development to improve the quality of the programme through the concreteness and systemicity of an academic strategy programme for international students. Secondly, by deriving a specific method and program development for each module, the process of both operators and lecturers to prepare their teaching became easier. Thirdly, as the learner centered programmes the students created together, all the participants could actively joined them.
It was also very meaningful to the students. First of all, we need to run program not only international students but also korean students can participate in. Second, It is indicated that one-on-one consulting is required.
Based on the research, I suggested 3 things to help foreign students adjust to university life. first, well organized program development and operations, second, the continuous consulting with students in the programme, Lastly, opening the subjects of the learning adaptation programme for international students for general education. |
