What you like makes what you learn - BAE-CHU-JEON (Napa Cabbage pancake)

There is an old saying in Korea that, people who do what they enjoy will never lose. Learning a language is the same... I love cooking, so most of my newly learned Turkey words are from recipes. Today, my hubby asked me how to say cabbage in Korean. I told him, "BAE-CHU." Then he told me back, "I love BAE-CHU-JEON." He remembered that I am going to cook cabbage pancake tonight. Then he got an idea to speak cabbage pancake in Korean so he could learn the name of his favorite dish in Korean.

This is an amazing learning process that exactly shows the old saying above. Many of my Turkish or American friends told me that they learned Korean by watching K-drama and listening to K-pops. At that time, I cannot really relate to their experience, but when I see my hubby's change, now I can buy that.

So, let's make cabbage pancake. This is a very simple recipe but nutritious and healthy. You can enjoy the soft crunchy texture and light sweetness of napa cabbage as well as the rich savory taste from the batter. When I eat those vegetable pancakes, I do not count how many calories I consumed - because they are healthy. 🙂

Now, let's really make cabbage pancake!

what you need: napa cabbage, flour (5 Tbsp), salt (1 tsp), sesame oil (1 tsp), water (1/2 cup), cooking oil

1. Make a batter with flour, water, salt, sesame oil (adjust thickness based on your preference)

2. Wash cabbage then separate leaves

3. Using a rolling pin, make a cabbage leaf flat

4. Dip cabbage leaves into the batter then bake on the fry pan

5. Cook until the batter becomes brown

6. Cut the cabbage pancake into bite-size then serve!

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...

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...
