Spring 2022 Kick off & Snow

The spring semester is about to begin.. I was busy preparing course materials and celebration treats for Day 1. 

But...Winter Storm Izzy swept away the East coast area so the school had to cancel the on-campus class on Day 1. Hmm...now, Day 1 goes with Day 2.

My cute treats have to stay one more day at home. Hope we can meet students soon...

                                                        

                                       

While Sum is cleaning the car, I have made snow creatures - snowman & woman, snowduck, snowcat, and snowkids..

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...

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...
