“…Online education often employs a constructivist methodology [22] where learners have to be selfdirected in order to make discoveries, solve problems, and build self-knowledge [14]. Students who lack self-regulation and selfdiscipline may struggle in online courses quickly losing the motivation to succeed [17].…”

“…Students who lack self-regulation and selfdiscipline may struggle in online courses quickly losing the motivation to succeed [17]. Academic success in e-learning requires that students exhibit strong self-regulation [14] with students better at self-regulation found to have more learner presence defined as planning, monitoring, adapting, and reflecting strategies in online learning environments [23].…”

“…Self-discipline and self-regulation are consistently associated with grit [8] and when examined in terms of academic outcomes, selfregulation has been shown as being the best predictor of academic performance over any other single aspect of personality or temperament [9]. Self-regulated learning speaks to students as individuals who have the ability to self-pace and complete assignments on their own.…”

“…Growth mindset is the belief that cognitive capabilities are not fixed but rather can be developed through hard work and dedication [12].

Aim: This study sought to explore the role of the elusive non-cognitive skill set known as grit, or the resolve and determination to achieve goals regardless of impediments, on student success in online education. It represents an area of exploration where there is a dearth in the available literature and reports the results of a study conducted at a Mid-Atlantic minority-serving university that examined the relationship between grit and student performance in fully online courses. Methodology: Students were administered the standard 12-Question Grit Scale with the addition of a series of validated questions that sought to measure perceived self-learning efficacy. Additionally, student performances in online courses were recorded and correlations conducted. Basic statistical analyses such as mean, mode, standard deviation, variance, and confidence interval were calculated. Two hypotheses were introduced as part of this study and tested with Anovas and crosstabulations. Results: This study found that higher grit scores correlated progressively to both self-discipline and self-efficacy but that a positive relationship to student achievement in fully online courses as measured with a p value of greater than .05 could not be confirmed. Conclusion: As online education continues to grow, providing opportunities to foster and strengthen student success in online courses and programs is increasingly important. E-learning success requires that students exhibit strong self-regulation, self-discipline, resilience, dutifulness, conscientiousness, and low impulsivity all of which are attributes of grit. As such, grit is presented as a promising area of exploration for increasing student achievement in online education.

This study aims to distinguish between creativity and innovation in K‐pop using a conceptual framework of the K‐pop system and to examine if any traces of Korean traditional Pansori are found in K‐pop. Innovation refers to successful implementation of creative ideas, and creative ideas without successful implementation are of no use in the business sector. A conceptual framework of the K‐pop system, developed by the author, consists of enabling people, contents, system processes, and environments. This study identified eight innovative aspects of K‐pop, which include manufacturing K‐pop stars using a specific formula; providing government leadership for K‐pop export; using well‐balanced copyrights to encourage K‐pop fans' social media sharing of their copycat versions; and embracing culturally hybrid K‐pop music styles for global markets. K‐pop's possible links with Pansori are found in K‐pop singers' Grit, similar to Pansori singers' Gongryeok; and female K‐pop idols willing to take personal sacrifices of “no dating” and “curfews,” resembling Pansori singers' “punishing effort.” Confucian influence on K‐pop is traced in South Korea's top‐down approaches by the government and music industries, and gender inequality imposed on female idols as the male gaze.
