*Cooking* Korean Seaweed Soup (Birthday soup)

Seaweed soup in Korea means a lot of things - someone has a birthday, someone gives a birth, or someone goes on a diet. If you can make this special soup for your friend's or family member's birthday, I can say that you are a great person who knows how to make your friends or family happy. 👍😉

Let's make a special & healthy seaweed soup!

What we need,

  • Ground Beef/ Stew Beef / Chicken / Dried fish - 1/2 lb
  • Dried Seaweed - a handful of
  • 3 cloves of garlic - minced
  • Sesame oil - 2 Table spoon
  • Soy sauce - 1 Table spoon
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon (add more or skip based on your preference)
  • Water/Rice Water - 3 cups  *tips: I prefer to use rice water (when you wash rice, you will get a tons of rice water. Instead of throwing away, always save the second round rice water for cooking and the third round rice water for my facial wash.) 

Today's my preparation: Rice Water, Seaweed soaked in the water, & Stew Beef
Steps

1. In the small bowl, soak dried seaweed in the water for 10 minutes. You can see a magic that the volume of dried seaweed dramatically increased.

2. Place a middle size pot over medium-high heat and add sesame oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, & stew beef. Stir them until the half of the beef color turns gray. 


3. Squeeze water from the seaweed and add it to the pot. Stir seaweed and beef together for another 3 mins.  

4. Add water/rice water and cover the lid. Wait until the soup in the pot is boiling.


5. Add salt according your preference. Cook over low heat for 5 mins more and enjoy! 

yummy!!

Developing latent constructs of dialogic interaction to examine the epistemic climate: Rasch modeling

Yejun Bae | Gavin W. Fulmer | Brian M. Hand School Science and Mathematics | DOI: 10.1111/ssm.12460   ABSTRACT This study investigates two latent constructs (Engagement and Value) of dialogic interaction to examine the epistemic climate. Since the new reform movement emphasizes creating generative learning environments, it is important to examine whether a classroom promotes students’ knowledge generation or limit students’ epistemicgrowth through rote memorization. At this point, it is inevitable to focus on dialogic interaction (one of the epistemic practices), because how students engage with and view dialogic interaction provides meaningful information about the epistemic climate. By employing Rasch modeling, this study tested a statistical validity of two latent constructs of dialogic interaction. The findings in this study highlight that the two latent constructs are theoretically and statistically valid and can be used to gauge the epistemic climate through students’ en...

[EE 304] Compliment Party - Classroom Activity

It is important to start the semester well, but it is just as important to finish it well. The meaning of ending well is probably a time to think about a meaningful ending together with the students. Looking back on the learning during the semester and the precious memories with the students I took the class with... So, the last week's activity was a Compliment Party - a discussion activity to express gratitude to the students who took the class. As always, I get a lot of energy from the posts of the students, more than I expected. Suddenly, I thought about the answer to the question of why I like my job and give it a lot of meaning, which is to meet students with various ideas through class activities and develop each other's thoughts under the big topic of 'education'. I thought it might be because watching the movie comes with a big meaning. So, I would like to write down the opinions of the students delivered through the activity. "Everyone in this class has be...

Publishing articles from Your Dissertation

For early-career researchers/faculty, a dissertation is the most promising source to increase the number of publications. But, when it comes to publishing peer-reviewed journal articles, whoever already experienced writing journal articles will definitely agree that publishing articles requires almost the same amount of effort as writing the dissertation.  Sine 2018, I have worked on publishing articles from my dissertation, and finally, by 2021, I got two papers published...See?! It takes almost four years! One of the advantages that I got was I already made my dissertation in a two-paper format. There are two types of dissertations..(or possibly several types); one is a traditional five-chapter format (Introduction-Literature Review-Method-Results-Discussion) and the other is a combined journal article format (Introduction-Paper 1-Paper 2-Paper 3...-Conclusion).   I chose a combined journal article format because my research interests were a general classroom climate wh...
