디지털 도구를 활용한 대학 중국어 수업 사례 분석 및 제언

Case Analysis and Suggestions for University Chinese Classes Using Digital Tools

본고는 디지털 시대를 맞아 대학 중국어 수업에서 활용 가능한 디지털 도구를 소개하고, 이를 실제 교육 현장에 적용한 사례를 통해 그 유용성과 교육적 효과를 분석하였다. 디지털 형식의 쓰기 과제 자료는 태블릿 PC를 이용한 반복 연습과 편리한 작성 및제출 방식을 통해 학생들의 학습 경험을 한층 개선하였다. 패들렛을 통한 과제 제출은파일 업로드의 용이성과 과제 자료 공유의 효율성을 제공하여 학생들 간의 상호 참고와학습 동기 유발에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 퀴즐렛을 활용한 단어 복습과 말하기 연습은 플랫폼의 다양한 기능과 디바이스 사용 편의성 측면에서 높은 선호도를 얻었으며, 문장 암기와 시험 준비에 매우 유용한 도구로 평가되었다. Heyzine을 통해 제공한 디지털 교재는 시간과 장소에 구애받지 않는 학습의 편리함을 제공했으며, 디지털 교재에대한 학생들의 선호가 서책형 교재보다 높게 나타난 점을 통해 중국어 교과의 디지털교재 개발에 대한 필요성을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 TPACK모델의 관점에서 교수자의‘기술적 지식(TK)’이 ‘내용 지식(CK)’ 및 ‘교육학적 지식(PK)’과 유기적으로 결합될 때, 교육적 효과가 극대화될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

This study explores the digital tools available in the digital age, especially in college Chinese classes, and analyzes their usefulness and pedagogical effectiveness through practical applications in the classroom. The digital format of the writing assignment materials enhanced the students’ learning experience through repeated practice and convenient writing and submission methods using tablet PCs. Submitting assignments via Padlet made it easier to upload files and more efficient to share assignment materials, which had a positive impact on cross-referencing and motivating students to learn. In four classes across two semesters, students preferred Padlet over the school’s LMS(Blackboard) as a platform for submitting assignments, making Paddlet an attractive platform of choice for instructors and students. Vocabulary review and speaking practice with Quizlet was highly preferred by students due to the platform’s versatility and ease of use on their devices, and was rated as very useful for memorizing sentences and preparing for exams. By having students create the material for the Quizlet study sets in Excel and perform them as group work, students were encouraged to participate in their own learning, and using digital tools to organize the material helped to increase both their engagement and confidence. The digital textbooks provided by Heyzine provided students with the convenience of learning online, regardless of time and place, and the students’ preference for digital textbooks was higher than that of hardcopy textbooks, confirming the need to develop digital textbooks for Chinese courses. These tools were utilized in key areas of Chinese learning, such as vocabulary review, writing practice, and speaking practice, helping students to learn more autonomously and efficiently in a digital environment, and increasing the accessibility and convenience of learning and submitting assignments. Students appreciated that learning with digital tools minimized the constraints of time and place while providing a variety of functions to help them learn. This study also showed that, in terms of the TPACK model, instructors’ technical knowledge(TK) can be maximized when it is organically combined with content knowledge(CK) and pedagogical knowledge(PK). With the recent advancements in AI technology, new platforms are being launched that offer a wide range of features, so you can choose the right tool to deliver a quality learning experience based on the content and pedagogical goals of your class.
