Abstract |
This study empirically analyzes the relationship between the multicultural learning variables and the learning effects of classics reading lessons regarding Korean and foreign students. The t-test, cross tabulation table, and discriminant analysis showed that Korean students improved their logical thinking power and became more interested than foreign students through the classic reading classes. The regression analysis showed that the recognition variables such as interest level, importance, necessity, and the reading of the classics did not influence the learning effects of classics reading class in regards to the necessity of the classics and the satisfaction level derived from classics reading classes. However, the improvement in presentation and the power of expression, logical thinking power, and the interest in the classic classes did affect the learning effects of classics reading class. As for the path analysis, while the recognition variable regarding the importance of the classics did not directly affect the learning effects of the classics reading classes, it appeared to indirectly influence the learning effects via the mediate variables of the enhancement of presentation and power of expression, logical thinking power, and the interest in these classic reading classes. |
