ABSTRACT

This research focused on what could be facilitating factors about students’ non-subject activities under untact environment, through the analysis of participation motives of debating teams and contemplation about the operation of in-school 'Online Reading Debate Competition'. Due to Covid-19 pandemic, the reading debate competition in the Fall Semester of 2021 was operated by online from the plan, preparation, and to the execution step as same as other non-subject activities. Among the competition participants, first year student’s participation rate- who were taking compulsory liberal arts education-was high, and I also could find “Critical Thinking and Discussion” and “Integrated Thinking and Academic Writing” classes were closely related with each other, through the analysis of participation motives. Through the research, I could find following important implications: First, when the non-subject program is connected with the regular curriculum, students were i nstinctively i nterested i n that, because t he assigned book and debate model were closely related with compulsory liberal arts education. Second, a learner-centered education was important in terms of higher participation rate of students who had experienced the Flipped-Learning through the real time ZOOM than that of students who just had taken professor’s video lecture. Third, unlike existing enrolled students, the professor’s motivation role during the class had a high correlation w ith first year students, who a re t he C orona generation. When a ll the s tudies w ere combined, I c ould f ind that making a n online educational environment which enables active exchanges and communications among students and with the professor was an important facilitating factor about their non-subject activities, even under untact environment due to Covid-19 pandemic. I hope this research could be helpful to other university’s curriculum development of online non-subject program for the education of thinking and expression.
