Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of learning community on communication skills and self-directed learning(SDL) ability. Data were collected from 147 members at N university, they participated in learning community activities for 8 weeks. To verify program's effect, pre and post tests of communication skills and SDL ability were examined. The result were as follows. Learning community activities were positive influenced on the improvement of communication skills and SDL ability. Especially, it was effective on the improvement of interpretation ability that includes diverse information collection or listen to other's opinion. And it was effective on the improvement of learning plan ability. Learning plan includes that learning needs diagnosis, goal setting and grasp learning resources. We were suggested that student customized learning community development and activation for sustainable core competency improvement.

본 연구는 학습공동체 프로그램 활동이 대학생들의 의사소통능력과 자기주도적 학습능력 향상에 영향을 주는지 검증하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 광주에 소재한 N대학교에서 자발적이고 자율적으로 학습공동체를 조직하여 운영한 147명의 학생을 연구 대상으로 하였다. 8주 동안 진행된 학습공동체 프로그램 활동 전후 의사소통능력과 자기주도적 학습능력의 향상 여부를 검증하였다. 분석 결과 학습공동체 활동 경험은 의사소통능력과 자기주도적 학습능력 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 특히, 모든 대상자들이 다양한 정보를 수집하고 타인의 의견을 경청하는 해석 능력과, 학습욕구를 진단하고 목표를 설정하며 학습을 위한 자원들을 스스로 파악하는 학습계획 능력이 향상되었다. 학생주도형 맞춤식 학습공동체 프로그램 개발과 활성화를 통한 지속적인 핵심역량 향상을 제안하였다.
