Their paper titled “Flow in Relation to Academic Achievement in Online-learning: A Meta-analysis Study” (Advisor: Heo Gyun) was recently accepted for publication in a journal published by the global publisher Taylor & Francis.

This study conducted a meta-analysis of various domestic and international papers, presenting research results that suggest the possibility that students' immersive experiences can be linked to academic performance.

Students at National Pukyong National University studied the relationship between the concept of flow, proposed by American psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, known for the “joy of immersion,” and academic achievement.

Based on related papers from Korea and the United States, their meta-analysis showed a correlation between academic achievement and flow, with an effect size (r-index) of 0.48, indicating a medium effect size.

Xing Da has been studying abroad at National Pukyong National University from China through the “Global PKNU Overseas University Faculty and Staff Graduate Degree Program,” dedicating himself to research, while Yoon Jeong Lee, serving as the Executive Director of the Korea Management Coaching Institute, has also devoted herself to research, achieving this research outcome.
