A study on the practical use of CAI

컴퓨터 보조수업의 활용실태에 대한 분석

This study is aimed at checking on the extent of practical use of CAI in mathematical classes in secondary schools, thus seeking a way of activating the practical use of CAI, with computer networks being widely used for education. This research was conducted among some 120 mathematics teachers and 350 students in middle and high schools in the City of Kunsan, with questionnaires designed to survey the extent and effectiveness of the use of CAI, the teachers and students' awareness of CAI. In consequence, this research shows the following: The use of CAI was of considerable help in conducting mathematics classes, along with CAI used in a more effective way, but education materials concerning CAI were poorly managed and not a few teachers was negative toward the use of CAI in mathematics classes. In short, the practical use of CAI was unsatisfactory, probably due to the lack of application ability on the part of teachers caused by the perfunctory teachers' training. In conclusion, the practical use of CAI in classes can be activated as follows: CAI apparatuses and other teaching aids should be systematically managed by experts; high-quality CAI programs need to be developed to help teachers conduct effective classes; teachers should be positively encouraged to make practical use of CAI through teachers' training and a plan of obligating teachers to use CAI for one or two fixed class hours in a week may be strongly recommended.

본 연구는 중등학교 수학 수업에서 컴퓨터 보조수업의 활용실태를 알아보고, 컴퓨터 보조수업에 대한 수학교사와 학생들의 인식을 조사하기 위하여 설문지를 통하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과 수학 수업에서 컴퓨터 보조수업의 교육적 효과 및 필요성은 인식하고 있음에도 불구하고, 그 활용은 미흡한 것으로 나타났다. 컴퓨터 보조수업의 활성화를 위해서는 다양한 코스웨어의 개발, 컴퓨터 사용 환경개선 및 교사 연수 등에 대한 지속적인 지원과 관심이 필요한 것으로 드러났다.
