[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] The Institute for Educational Innovation and Development at Mokpo National University (President Park Min-seo) announced on the 4th that it conducted two sessions of a workshop on the utilization of the freshman learning strategy assessment for department heads and interested faculty members from 11:20 AM to 1:30 PM on the 3rd.

The Institute for Educational Innovation and Development administers a learning strategy assessment annually to freshmen to improve students' academic achievement and prevent students from dropping out midway. The results are shared with departments to support their use in faculty-student academic counseling.

This workshop was held non-face-to-face via Zoom video conferencing under the social distancing level 2 due to COVID-19, and to minimize overlap with class hours, it was divided into two sessions with a total of 42 faculty members participating.

The workshop invited Seung-bin Jeon, a senior researcher at Insight, as the instructor, who conducted one-hour sessions covering overall interpretation of the learning strategy assessment, counseling methods based on the assessment results, and Q&A.

Professors who participated in the workshop shared their impressions, saying, "We were able to share interpretation methods of the assessment that help us understand students, and the online workshop made good use of its advantages," and "It was very helpful in counseling students."

Oh Jang-geun, director of the Institute for Educational Innovation and Development, expressed gratitude for the active participation of department heads in the shift from face-to-face to non-face-to-face formats, stating, "We will further enhance the program to diversify the learning strategy assessments for students and make the workshops genuinely helpful for faculty counseling in future operations."
