Abstract

The purposes of this study are to investigate students' attitudes regarding group projects and to suggest an effective way to promote collaborative learning using Wiki. This study employed a survey questionnaire, which was distributed to students enrolled in classes provided by a university in Seoul. The result revealed that students preferred individual projects to group projects because various barriers occur in the process of group projects. Students' responses also indicated that rapport among group members influences the success of a group project. In addition, Wiki, as a Web 2.0 tool for group collaboration, was recognized as being useful in terms of promoting openness, modification, and effectiveness. Based on these findings, this study suggests the following for effective collaborative learning: (1) conducting peer- and self-assessments to avoid social loafing, (2) establishing rapport among group members, and (3) using Wiki in an active manner.

본 연구의 목적은 협력학습에 대한 학생들의 인식을 조사하고 협력학습 활성화를 위한 방안을 제안하는 것이다. 학생들의 인식을 조사하기 위해서 서울 소재 한 대학에서 진행된 네 과목의 수업에 참여한 학생들을 대상으로 온라인 설문을 실시하였고 그 결과를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 응답자들은 협력학습보다는 개별학습을 선호하는 경향이 나타났다. 선호에 대한 다양한 의견들이 발견되었지만 대부분 협력학습의 문제점에서 기인하는 것으로 나타났다. 협력학습의 성패에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 분석결과 조원들 간의 친밀성이 성공의 중요한 요인으로 조사되었다. 덧붙여, 협력학습을 돕기 위해 사용된 웹 2.0 도구중의 하나인 위키는 공개성과 수정가능성, 효과성의 측면에서 유용한 도구로 인식되었다. 평가결과를 바탕으로 하여 효과적인 협력학습을 위해 (1) 조원평가, 자기평가를 통해 무임승차 문제 해소, (2) 조원 간의 친밀성 향상을 위한 방안 마련, (3) 위키의 적극적인 활용이 제안되었다.
