Research on the Educational Effects of Edu-Tech Application based on Book Creator in Aviation Major Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: This study aims to explore the educational effects of integrating Book Creator—a digital edu-tech platform—into learner-centered, reflective practice within practical airline service interview practice and English courses. Specifically, the research investigates how the use of such digital tools fosters improvements in students' self-regulated learning abilities, practical professional competencies, intrinsic learning motivation, and overall satisfaction with the educational process in aviation service programs. By focusing on the repeated cycle of action, feedback, and self-reflection across a series of authentic tasks, this study seeks to provide empirical evidence for the meaningful role of edu-tech solutions in future-oriented higher education.
Method: Two representative courses, Air Service Interview Practice and Airline Transport English, were selected and Book Creator activities were integrated into a six-week instructional design. The lessons followed a three-phase cycle: pre-class digital content study, in-class practical activities, and post-class assessment with repeated self-reflection. Students built digital portfolios, and data were gathered through instructor evaluation rubrics, sat-isfaction surveys, and in-depth qualitative interviews. Changes in instructor feedback and student self-assessment before and after the intervention were analyzed to comprehensively evaluate the educational impact of edu-tech integration.
Results: The results showed that Book Creator-based lessons positively influenced not only students' self-regulated learning abilities, but also their practical English communication skills and preparation for real-world air service interviews. Students accumulated weekly video assignments and self-reflection records, which enabled them to clearly recognize their achievements and growth through their portfolios. Diverse feedback from instruc-tors and peers, along with the experience of visualizing personal development, had a significant impact on both their satisfaction and learning motivation. Furthermore, the portfolios served as valuable resources not only for academic assessment but also for job preparation, while instructor feedback became increasingly individualized, detailed, and efficient in the digital environment.
Conclusion: Taken together, the results indicate that edu-tech tools such as Book Creator provide an effective foundation for supporting self-directed learning, practical skill development, and differentiated feedback design in aviation service education. The digital portfolio system enables sustainability in learning and the visualization of specific growth records, systematically supporting individual student progress. Future research should apply this model to other disciplines and educational settings, and conduct longitudinal studies to further validate the effects of edu-tech in higher education.
