Korean Government Scholarship Program - plan of study

Goal of study, title or subject of research, and detailed study plan

I am applying for a master's program in Computer Education and Computer Science. My future professional career goal is to be a computer teacher or lecturer. Along with the technology that is growing rapidly, addressing the needs of today's learner and finding effective ways to integrate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into teaching and learning process are the challenges I have to face as an educator. ICT using in learning and teaching process is no exception in Korea. I interested in learning about educational technology in Korea, especially about SMART Education program developed by Korean Ministry of Education. In terms of computer skills, I have a high interest to expand my knowledge in computer programming, networking, data structures, telecommunication, and multimedia for the classroom. I believe that master's program in computer education or computer science through KGSP can prepare me to pursue my future professional career goal.

I have been working at Bandung Institute of Technology for six months. Bandung Institute of Technology have been developing and using e-learning since 2015 to support the learning process of students. Based on my experience during work here, I realize that development and improvement of e-learning must continuously be done so that the e-learning can meet the needs of the user and effectively used in learning and teaching process. It inspired me to conduct a research about user satisfaction as the basis for the development and improvement of e-learning.

Background of the study
The development of information technology, especially the internet in Indonesia led to many new innovation in the use of information technology in various field, including education. E-learning is one of innovations that applied in education field. The utilization of e-learning in education can facilitate distance learning and change the traditional and passive way of learning into more interactive and diversified learning. E-learning is a mediator that connects the resources and services to users that can be accessed anywhere. E-learning is used to facilitate the learning process, including access to learning materials, assignments, quizzes, and as media or discussion forum. Those needs must be fulfilled so e-learning can be used effectively in teaching and learning process. Consequently, the development and improvement should be done continuously. In the development of e-learning, the satisfaction level of students and lecturer as user of e-learning plays a very important role. So for my research, I plan to conduct a research about XXX. This research focuses on developing a XXX. The XXX will be measured using XXX method.

Goals
To develop and apply XXX

Research Methods
The research that I plan to conduct will be carried out by using Prototyping Model for the development of software. Prototyping model is the process of developing a trial version of a system in order to clarify the requirements of the system or to reveal critical design considerations. Following is the stepwise to design a software prototype:

Basic requirement identification: understanding the very basic requirements of product especially in term of user interface.
Developing the initial prototype: The initial prototype is developed, where the very basic requirements are showcased and user interfaces are provided.
Review of the prototype: The developed is then presented to the costumer and the other important stakeholders in the project. The feedback is collected in an organized manner and used for further enhancements in the product under development.

Revise and enhance the prototype: The feedback and the review comments are discussed during this stage and some negotiations happen with the costumer based on factors like, time and budget constraints and technical feasibility of actual implementation.

Expected Outcomes
Develop a web-based application that provides XXX
Measuring the XXX using XXX method.

Impact of the study
The success of this research will be valuable in the future considering that the utilization of e-learning in education need to be improved. The web-based application developed in this research can help in collecting data about the level of satisfaction of e-learning users. In addition, the results of this research which contains information on the satisfaction level of e-learning user can be used as input in order to improve the quality of e-learning services.

Detailed Study Plan
To pursue my master's degree on time may require a lot of hard work. So I had planned what I must to do within 3 years during study in Korea. During the first year of my stay in Korea, I keen to focus learning Korean language and culture. I believe that my interest and basic understanding in Korean language will really helpful during one year of language program. After I finish my Korean Language Program, I will start my master's degree program. During my first year of master's degree, I want to join laboratory related to Informatics or Computing Education and start preparing necessary material for my research proposal under the instruction of my research advisor. In my second year, I keen to focus for my research by reading many journals and work hard for my thesis.

Scholarship / Self-Introduction "being a teacher is my dream" [2]

I will be applying for KGSP-G this year. I need your help to review my self-introduction.
I have trouble finding the right words to end my essay.
English is not my mother language. If there are many grammar mistakes in my essay, please correct it.
Thank you in advance.

Most of my family members are educators. Growing up in that kind of family makes me realize the importance of education in life. They always tell me that making mistakes is a part of learning. They also encourage me not to afraid to learn and experience many things. When I was a kid, my father bought me a computer. Back then, I often used the computer with full of curiosity. I tried to disassemble it and sometimes broke it. My parents did not scold me but they found me someone who can teach me about computer. I was very grateful for my parents not being overprotective. They inspired me to become someone who can encourage people to learn.

With that dream on my mind, I decided to become a teacher so I can encourage my students and teach them to love learning without afraid to make mistakes. After graduating from high school, I decided to get my bachelor's degree in Computer Science Education at Indonesia University of Education so I can become a computer teacher after graduating. During my college years, I studied hard about pedagogy and computer science. For my first 2 years in college, I was active as teaching and laboratory assistant in Database Laboratory. I was also active in non-academic activities. I joined student organization and Informatics Students Association of Bandung. These experiences are very useful to improve my organizational skills, interpersonal skills and soft skills. In my last year of college, I taught Digital Simulation at a vocational school for 4 months. I learned how to be a teacher during that period.

After graduating from college, I got a job at UPT E-Learning Bandung Institute of Technology. I am working as help desk and junior programmer. I am responsible for developing and maintaining e-learning used at Bandung Institute of Technology. I am also responsible for providing technical assistance for questions and problems from e-learning users. After working for a while, I came to realize that the knowledge and skills I had acquired from college were lacking to support my work. To become a computer teacher, I still have much to learn both about pedagogy and computer science. So I decided to continue my education with a higher degree in computer education major.

Because there is no master's degree for computer education major in Indonesia, I decided to study abroad to pursue my master's degree. Last year, I found out about KGSP when I was looking for information about scholarship to study abroad. Fortunately, there are some universities that provide master's degree in computer education. Moreover, I am interested in learning a foreign language beside English. I have been learning Korean language for two years. The one year language program provided by KGSP increase my motivation to apply the scholarship. My basic knowledge in Korean language will help me settle in Korea during my first year in language program.

I have been working at UPT E-Learning Bandung Institute of Technology for six months. Being involved in the development of e-learning makes me wonder how the use of technology in education can make learning easier and more enjoyable. Most of students at Bandung Institute of Technology using smartphones to access e-learning. So we have to start thinking about more efficient and more creative education through the use of technology. Then I found a paper about the implemented of "SMART Education" in South Korea. The main goal of this program was to digitalize the entire school curriculum and reflect modern changes of the 21st century. I would like to learn about the implementation of "SMART Education" in South Korea.
