Abstract

General education is changed by accepting the change in education environment to digital generation, emphasis about student-centered education, and change of teacher's role. E-learning has taken center stage as an effective learning environment but the problems are drawn for the absence of interaction that is important in learning. In this study, on the basis of questionnaire results about learning using website, we operated blended-learning where students come and go in cyberspace and physical space to set up the lesson environment for emphasizing interaction. We selected a control group (N=40) and an experimental group (N=40) from second grade students in a middle school for this research. General instructor-led lessons were implemented in the control group and blended-learning lessons to emphasize interaction between teacher and students were implemented in the experimental group. The experiments were applied to eight class-hours in 'characteristics of matter' unit. We implemented Test of Science Related Attitude (TOSRA) to the students before and after the lessons and administered questionnaire for checking attitude changes and perception in students. The results of the test show that the experimental group students were more encouraged and became more confident and curious about scientific learning than the control group students. The analysis of the interview and results of TOSRA show that blended-learning provided guidance and feedback by the teacher to the experimental group students more than the control group students. Blended-learning is suggested as a learning-method that is helpful in improving scientific attitude in students because it enables them to express their experiences without limit of time-space and promote interaction between teacher and students.

학교 교육은 디지털 시대로의 교육환경의 변화 및 학습자 중심의 교육에 대한 강조와 그에 따른 교사 역할의 변화 등을 받아들이면서 변화하고 있다. 이런 변화에서 e-learning은 적절한 학습 환경으로 각광받아왔으나, 학습에서 중요한 요소인 상호작용의 부재로 인한 문제점이 드러났다. 그리하여 이 연구에서는 학생들에게 학교 홈페이지를 활용한 학습에 대한 설문 조사를 토대로, 교사와 학생 간 상호작용을 강조한 수업 환경 조성을 위해 가상 공간과 물리적 공간을 오가며 학습하는 혼합형 학습을 실시하였다. 연구를 위해 G중학교 2학년에서 비교집단 1개 반(40명)과 실험집단 1개 반(40명)을 선정하였다. 비교집단에서는 강의 및 토의식 수업을 실시하였고, 실험집단에서는 교사와 학생의 상호작용이 강조된 혼합형 학습 수업을 실시하였다. 실험처치는 '물질의 특성' 단원 중 8차시에 걸쳐 진행되었다. 혼합형 학습에 대한 인식과 효과를 알아보기 위하여 사전 사후에 설문조사와 과학 관련 태도 검사를 실시하였다. 검사 결과, 실험집단이 비교집단에 비해 과학적 사고와 태도가 자극되어 과학 학습에 대한 흥미와 자신감을 가지게 되었다. 이러한 검사 결과는 비교집단에 비해 실험집단은 혼합형 학습을 통해 교사의 안내 및 피드백을 더 쉽게 제공 받음으로써 교사와 학생 간 상호작용의 기회를 더욱 부여받을 수 있었기 때문이다. 혼합형 학습은 학생들로 하여금 시간과 공간의 제약 없이 자신의 경험을 표현할 수 있게 하고, 교사와 학생의 학습 관련 상호작용을 촉진시키므로 학생들의 과학 관련 태도 향상에 도움이 되는 학습 방법으로 제안될 수 있다.
