The purpose of this study was to investigate the implicit knowledge of creativity and education practice of creativity perceived by undergraduate students. Participants were 425 undergraduate students from around the greater metropolitan area of Seoul. The results of this study were as follows: (1) Most undergraduate students considered creativity as creative thinking or creative product rather than creative personality and creative environment. Undergraduate students placed originality as the most important subfactor of creativity. Scientists were ranked as the most creative people, followed by executives, and then artists. Interestingly contemporary Korean undergraduate students recognized and evaluated creativity as positive. (2) Most undergraduate students recognized the needs and importance of creativity-fostered education. These aspects of education have meaningful differences according to gender, as female students viewed creativity-fostered education more important. (3) Undergraduate students considered creative persons to be imaginative, independent, and confident. The most important part of developing undergraduate students' creativity was to make more creative environments. It has been suggested that the benefit of creative environments should be taken into consideration when developing creativity-enhancing programs and education for undergraduate students more generally.

This study quantified optimism, emotional intelligence, and depression levels, and explored potential key factors affecting the depression level in undergraduate students. We performed a survey targeting undergraduate students in two Universities at D city and S city, between April 8th and 30th of 2016. After receiving informed consent, a total of 166 university students were recruited. They were asked to fill in a self-reported questionnaire about optimism, emotional-intelligence, and depression. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using IBM SPSS version 22.0. The data analysis results showed that the mean score for optimism was $3.67{\pm}0.51$, $3.66{\pm}0.49$, and $3.69{\pm}0.55$ for overall undergraduate students, undergraduate nursing students, and undergraduate non-nursing students, respectively. Moreover, the mean score of emotional intelligence was $3.56{\pm}0.49$, $3.53{\pm}0.49$, and $3.60{\pm}0.51$, respectively. In addition, the mean score of depression was $8.28{\pm}7.48$, $10.97{\pm}7.65$, and $5.50{\pm}5.54$, respectively. It was revealed that a strong negative correlation exists among optimism, emotional intelligence, and depression. This correlation was stronger for undergraduate nursing students than undergraduate non-nursing students. Optimism and emotional intelligence were key factors influencing depression. The degree of this influence was higher for undergraduate nursing students than undergraduate non-nursing students. In conclusion, a program that empowers optimism and emotional intelligence is necessary to manage depression for undergraduate students.

This article aims to analyze the experience of designing and operating a class model linking undergraduate and graduate students in engineering education and suggest its development direction. To achieve these objectives, the undergraduate-graduate linked class model was applied to community problem-solving education and a case was analyzed. It also specifically presented the process of how we design the class model and what the actual operational performances and improvements are. This study found that undergraduate and graduate students could build integrated and horizontal cooperative relationships in their classes through undergraduate-graduate linked education and, particularly, graduate students could gain meaningful educational experiences. However, it was difficult to obtain tangible performances through the team activities of these students within a semester. In order for engineering colleges to operate undergraduate-graduate linked education, it would be necessary to provide a longer and more systematic educational environment and better curriculum. The study tried to seek specific tasks and ways to improve them.

This study examines email records management patterns of undergraduate students and their perceptions of university email policy. The research collected data from 317 undergraduate students using a survey based on the five essential elements of email records management: common elements, email creation, email management, email preservation, and perception. Also, an in-depth interview was conducted with 6 undergraduate students, according to the method of university email service: Google, Microsoft, and in-house webmail. As a result, undergraduate students used email as an address book, cloud storage, file storage, and collaboration tool, and they had difficulties in systematically managing the email records according to the records lifecycle. Also, there was a tendency to prefer using an external email platform that can use additional functions to in-house webmail that has limitations in mobile service and preservation of attachments. Thus, this study suggests ways to help undergraduate students manage their email records, including maintaining graduates' email accounts, providing sufficient email storage, and providing email records management training and guidelines for undergraduate students.

The number of collaboration professors has significantly increased since the last decade, along with rapid technological developments and the necessity of entrepreneurial universities. Despite the expansion of collaboration professor recruitment, few empirical studies have examined the contribution of collaboration professors to university-industry collaboration. In particular, we do not have sufficient knowledge about the role of collaboration professors in the start-ups of undergraduate students, which is one of major duties of these professors. Following previous studies, this study constructs panel data of 203 universities explaining the proportions of collaboration professors, activities of undergraduate students, support of universities for students preparing new firms, and attributes of universities from 2017 to 2019. The results indicate that the percentage of collaboration professors is not statistically related with the start-ups of undergraduate students, whereas that of full-time professors working at organizations specializing in start-ups is positively and significantly associated with the number of new firms of undergraduate students. In addition, the percentage of students who had attended the start-up camps and the availability of financial support from universities for students who attempt to create new firms positively influence the start-ups of undergraduate students.

There has been increasing interest in recent years in the pedagogical importance of counter-examples that focuses on pedagogical perspectives. But there is no research that undergraduate students' generating counter-examples and proposing the true statements. This study analyze 6 undergraduate students' response to interview tasks and the process of their generating counter-examples and proposing true statements. The results of interviews are that the more undergraduate students generate various counter-examples, the more valid they propose true statements. If undergraduate students have invalid understanding of logical implication and generate only one counter-example, they would not propose true statements that modify the given statement, preserving the antecedent. In pre-service teacher's education and school mathematics class, we need to develop materials and textbooks about counter-examples and false statements.
