Factor Analysis & SDLRS Assessment in Science and Engineering Fields' Students; In Case of KUT's Students

이공계 대학생의 자기주도학습준비도 진단 및 요인분석 - 한국기술교육대학교 재학생을 중심으로

In this study, the assessment and the factor analysis of the self-directed learning readiness for engineering students were conducted. As measurement tool was used the self-directed learning readiness scale of Guglielmino's SDLRS questionnaire in Korean translation. It was surveyed under 519 students of Faculty of Engineering of Korea University of Technology and Education. Responded questionnaires were 496. As a result, seven factors were identified: (1)openness to learning, (2)initiative and inquiring mind, (3)independence and basic learning skills, (4)creativity, (5)accepting responsibility for learning, (6)love of learning, (7)positive orientation of the future. And the scale was confirmed in validity. It was confirmed that the mean value of openness to learning and of love of learning were higher than average, while mean value of independence and basic learning skills, accepting responsibility for learning were lower than average, there was the difference in SDLRS by students' personal backgrounds, but there were statistically significant differences in seven factors.

본 연구에서는 이공계 대학생의 자기주도학습준비도에 대한 진단 및 요인분석을 실시하였다. 측정도구로는 Guglielmino(1977)의 자기주도학습준비도 검사도구(SDLRS)의 우리말 설문지를 이용하였고, 연구 대상은 한국기술교육대학교 공학관련학부학생으로서 재학생 519명에게 설문지를 배포하여 유효한 답변을 한 496명을 대상으로 분석하였다. 총 58개 문항에 대한 7차례의 요인분석 결과, 총 26개 문항, 7개 요인((1)학습에 대한 개방성, (2)주도성과 탐구성, (3)독립성과 기본학습기능, (4)창의성, (5)학습에 대한 책임수용, (6)학습사랑, (7)미래지향성(${\alpha}=.831$, 총 변량설명력=55.78%)을 추출하였고, 타당도가 확인되었다. 연구결과, 첫째, 학생들의 '학습에 대한 개방성'과 '학습사랑' 요인은 전체 평균보다 높았으나 '독립성과 기본학습기능', '학습에 대한 책임'은 낮았다. 둘째, 학생 개인배경에 따라 차이는 있었고, 7개 요인에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
