Tongmyong University Nursing Students Win Grand Prize in CO-UP Curricular-Extracurricular Integrated Advanced Learning Program

Nursing students from Tongmyong University clinched the grand prize at the curricular-extracurricular integrated learning outcomes awards ceremony held on campus.

Tongmyong University announced on the 24th that a team consisting of fourth-year nursing students Hwang Younghye, Kim Bokyung, and Park Mihyeon was recognized for their outstanding achievements at the “CO-UP Program Learning Outcomes Sharing Session for Advanced Learning Ability” held on the 12th.

The CO-UP program is designed to link major-specific courses with tailored extracurricular activities. It focuses on helping students improve their understanding and engagement in classes through advanced learning and group supplementary learning.

This semester, the Department of Nursing at Tongmyong University ran the CO-UP program under the theme “Ethics Compass: Finding Direction” for students enrolled in the Nursing Ethics Seminar course. Participating students revisited the fundamental ethical concepts they had learned in the prerequisite course, Introduction to Nursing. Each team engaged in a variety of activities to enhance their learning abilities, including ethical judgment, case-based discussions, and problem-solving-centered tasks.

Team leader Hwang Younghye shared, “Participating in the program allowed me to deeply reflect on the process of ethical judgment as a nursing student, and it was a meaningful experience to develop the competencies needed in real-world settings on my own.”

Professor Lee Kyungeun, the supervising professor, stated, “I believe that nursing ethics education based on advanced learning has greatly contributed to cultivating the ethical awareness required of professional nurses. We will continue to expand student-participatory ethics education models to nurture value-driven nursing professionals equipped with ethical decision-making capabilities.”
