Therefore, the system of House is formed: the Residential Master (RM) professors supervise each House, and the Residential Assistants (RA) are helping RMs with the whole range of education, living, and the programs for the first year students.
In this article, the activities of RAs in the second semester of 2014 are analyzed in various ways, identifying the roles of RAs for RC education, and investigating the advanced model for the evaluation, sustenance, and supervision of RAs. In light of all these, alternatives to pursue the developmental Korean RC model are suggested, anticipating continuous RA education methods and transfigured roles of RA. |
