학습양식에 따른 개별화 학습 지원 시스템이 학습만족도에 미치는 영향

Effects of the System for Supporting an Individualized Learning on Learners’ Satisfaction by Learning Style

&nbsp;&nbsp;그동안 교수ㆍ학습을 개별화하기 위해 많은 교육 관련 연구자 혹은 현장 교사들의 노력이 있었다. 본래 교육은 개인이 지니고 있는 개성이나 특성을 최대한 계발하고 육성시켜 주어야 한다. 이와 같은 맥락에서 수업은 학습자의 개인차를 고려하고 그에 맞는 적절하고 타당한 교수방법 및 절차를 제시해야할 뿐만 아니라 교수자료를 선택ㆍ평가하는 것을 포괄하여 체제적으로 설계ㆍ개발되어야 한다. 그러나 교육 현장에서는 학습자 개개인의 특성 파악에 소홀하고 있다. 이와 같은 이유로 수업에서 학습자들은 학습 활동에서 다분히 수동적이며, 자신이 선호하는 학습내용이나 학습방법을 선택할 기회를 제공받지 못하고 있다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위한 하나의 방법이 개별화 학습 지원 시스템을 설계ㆍ개발하여 활용하는 것이다.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;이와 같은 취지에서 출발한 이 연구는 개별화 학습 지원을 위해서 필수적으로 고려되어야 할 개인차 변인들 중 Felder의 학습양식에 따른 개별화 학습 지원에 국한하였다. 요컨대, 본 논문의 목적은 Felder의 학습양식 따라 개별화된 학습내용과 학습과정을 제공해 줄 수 있는 개별화 학습 지원 시스템을 개발ㆍ적용하여 궁극적으로 이러한 시스템의 사용이 온라인 학습 만족도에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 알아보는데 있다.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;본 논문에서는 학습 내용 만족도와 학습과정 만족도로 온라인 학습 만족도를 세분화하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 학습자의 특성분석에 따른 학습내용 및 학습과정의 적응ㆍ처치가 학습자들의 학습 만족도에 미치는 영향을 미리 가늠해 봄으로써 적응적 웹 기반 학습 자료의 설계ㆍ개발을 위한 구체적 방향성을 제시하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

&nbsp;&nbsp;The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of the system for supporting an individualized learning on learners&quot; satisfaction by learning style. For this purpose, the learning style verified the effects of the target system on learners&quot; satisfaction about the learning process and the learning materials.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;To achieve the purpose of the study, the hypotheses were set as follows:<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;〈Hypothesis Ⅰ〉 There would be a significant difference in the satisfaction degree of learning process according to the system for supporting an individualized learning by learning style and the general web based learning system. 〈Hypothesis Ⅱ〉 There would be a significant difference in the satisfaction degree of learning materials according to the system for supporting an individualized learning by learning style and the general web based system.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;For the experiment to verify the hypotheses, 60 of the 5th grade students were sampled from 2 classes of C primary school in Seoul. They were randomly assigned to one of the two different experimental groups according to the system for supporting an individualized learning and the general web based learning system. The experimental group was treated with the system for supporting an individualized learning by learning style which was developed for the study about the social subject by the researcher. And the confront group was treated with the general web based learning system which was delivered for primary school students about the social subject by KERIS (EDUNET).<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;The target system was different from one another in terms of the system for supporting an individualized learning based on the Felder&quot;s learning style. The students were allowed to learn the target system 2 times (40 minutes each time) and then they were asked to answer 14 items measuring the degree of the learning satisfaction. These items consist of 7 items for measuring satisfaction degree of the learning process and the next 7 items for measuring the satisfaction degree of learning materials. To identify the Felder&quot;s learning style, that is the sensing-intuitive style, the visual-verbal style and the active-reflective style, 30 students were tested by the modified learning style inventory of Felder on the system developed by the researcher.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;The results of the study were as follows:<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;1. 〈Hypothesis Ⅰ〉 was accepted. That is to say, there was a significant difference in the satisfaction degree of learning process between two experiment groups(t=16.86, p＜.001).<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;2. 〈Hypothesis Ⅱ〉 was accepted. That is to say, there was a significant difference in the satisfaction degree of learning materials between two experiment groups(t=18.83, p＜.001).<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;In conclusion, the effects of the system for supporting an individualized learning depend on learners&quot; satisfaction, such as the satisfaction degree of learning process and the satisfaction degree of learning materials, by learning style. In other words, students were satisfied with learning on the web because of the target system based on delivering an adaptive learning materials and an adaptive learning processes based on their learning style.
