Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find any contradictions which arise with the use of Wiki in the classroom, and to address such contradictions in order to promote learning among LIS students. This study employed a multi-methodology, including Wiki usage analysis, and interviews with 12 students who participated in an LIS class. Observations revealed that group projects are common in academic classes. Interviewees agreed that their performance through collaborative efforts was higher than that through individually performed activities. However, there were no pre-experiences with Wiki in learning and task-oriented cooperation which gave rise to a controversy. In addition, even though a new technology, as a more advanced form, was suggested, students cooperated with their peers according to their tradition without using the recommended new technology. Therefore, students should be taught about Wiki usage and experience the effective learning which is available to them through collaboration with their peers. Additionally, LIS curriculum should incorporate relationship-oriented activities using Web 2.0 applications with the expectation of enhanced learning among students.

본 연구는 문헌정보학과 학생들의 조별활동의 성과를 높이기 위해 위키를 활용한 교육을 진행할 때 발생하는 문제점을 발견하고 이를 개선함으로써 학생들의 학습능력을 향상시키기 위한 방안을 마련하기 위해 수행되었다. 학생들이 수업을 위해 사용한 위키 사이트에서의 활동은 물론, 수강 학생들 중 12명을 대상으로 인터뷰를 진행하였다. 연구결과, 학생들이 수강하는 수업에서 조별활동은 보편적인 것으로 나타났고 개별적으로 과제를 하는 것보다 조별로 하는 과제로부터 더 많은 학습을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 학습의 과정에서 위키사용경험이 없다는 점과 학점을 중시하게 됨으로써 관계보다는 과제중심의 조별활동이 이루어지는 문제점이 발견되었다. 또한, 새로운 개념의 도구가 제안되었다 할지라도 과거의 방식에 따라 조별활동을 진행하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 학생들에게 위키사용 방법을 교육함과 동시에 협업을 통한 학습의 교육적 효과를 경험해보는 것이 중요하다. 또한 관계중심의 조별활동이 이루어진다면 그 교육적 효과가 커질 것으로 기대된다.
