초록

본 논문은 공과대학에서 요소설계 과목에 문제중심학습(PBL : Problem-Based Learning) 활용을 위하여 PBL 문제를 개발하여 수업에 적용하고 PBL 효과를 확인하는데 목적을 두었다. 현대 산업사회에서는 협동 학습 능력, 자율적인 학습능력, 통합지식 활용 능력, 창의 문제해결 능력을 갖춘 인재를 필요로 하고 있다. 대학은 사회에서 요구하는 인재를 양성하기 위해 학습자들에게 문제해결능력 향상과 협동학습의 기회를 제공해 주어야 한다. PBL 활동은 이러한 실천을 위한 적합한 학습 방법이다. 연구대상은 요소설계에 해당하는 '공학설계 1'교과목을 수강한 H대학 2학년 학생 32명이었으며, PBL수업은 15주에 5개의 PBL문제를 적용하였다. 학생들은 주어진 문제의 PBL 활동이 끝날 때마다 성찰일지를 작성하여 제출하였으며, 5번째 PBL문제의 활동이 끝난 후에 강의 평가지를 작성하였다. 연구 결과는 학습내용에 대한 이해(71.87%), 협동학습에 대한 이해(87.5%), 실제적 경험, 문제해결력(90.63%), 프리젠테이션 스킬(96.87%), 자기주도적 학습 능력, 자신감(96.87%)과 같은 다양한 PBL의 효과를 경험한 것으로 나타났다. 학생들은 이 PBL 학습 활동은 현대 산업사회에서 요구하는 미래의 유능한 엔지니어로서의 전문성을 기를 수 있는 중요한 방법이라고 인식하였다.

The aim of this thesis was to develop PBL(Problem-Based-Learning) problems to supply the problems to classes and to confirm the effectiveness of PBL for PBL applications to element design in engineering schools. Modern industrial society needs competent people with abilities in cooperative learning, self-controlling learning, united knowledge application, and creative problem-solving. Universities need to offer opportunities for improving the problem-solving ability and cooperative learning to learners to train competent people that society demands. PBL activity is a proper learning method for the execution of the above offer. The study subjects were 32 sophomore students in H University who took 'Engineering design 1', which is Element design. Five PBL problems were applied to the class for 15 weeks. They wrote and submitted a reflective journal when they finished the every given PBL activity. In addition, they wrote a class evaluation form after the $5^{th}$ PBL problem's activity ended. The study showed that the students experienced the effectiveness of PBL in many fields, such as the comprehension of the studied contents(71.87%), the comprehension of cooperative learning (87.5%), authentic experience, problem-solving skills (90.63%), presentation skills (96.87%), communication ability, self-directed study ability, and confidence (96.87%). The students realized that PBL learning activities are important because students could develop into future intelligent engineers that modern industrial society demands through PBL learning activities.
