Results: After participating in the program, interpersonal understanding, proactivity in problem-solving, and systems thinking all significantly improved (p<.001), and the effect size of the program was also above medium (Cohen’s d= 0.580∼1.019). As a result of analyzing the contents of the self-reflection journal, it was classified into 7 themes and 3 categories; Teamwork competency, systems thinking skills, interpersonal skills.
