Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of awareness and current performance level of self-directed learning (SDL) in nursing students. The core concepts were defined and a rubric was developed through literature review. It was applied later to subjects and the results were analyzed. According to the results, there were significant differences between the current performance level and the awareness level of SDL in all items. Students who chose nursing as a major due to their high school/SAT grades showed lower current performance level than others. There were insignificant differences in the current performance level influencing the next grade. The level of awareness showed insignificant differences according to the reason for selecting nursing as a major, satisfaction on major, and grade point average (GPA). In conclusion, there was a discrepancy between the level of awareness and the current performance level of SDL of nursing students, which indicates that they were aware of the necessity of SDL, but did not actually perform it. Nursing educators should seek for strategies that can improve SDL ability of their students as well as to better grasp the level of the SDL of their student and the current performance level of SDL to apply them to the instructional design.

본 논문은 간호학생들의 자기 주도 학습에 대한 인식수준과 수행수준을 파악하기 위하여 시도되었다. 각종 자기주도 학습과 관련 문헌을 고찰하여 자기 주도 학습의 핵심개념을 규명한 다음 이에 부합되는 루브릭을 개발하였다. 이를 간호 대학생에게 적용하여 자기 주도 학습에 대한 인식수준과 실행수준을 확인하였다. 연구결과에 의하면 간호학생들의 자기 주도 학습에 대한 인식수준과 수행수준은 모든 항목에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 또한 간호학생들의 자기 주도 학습에 대한 수행수준은 입시성적에 따라 간호학을 선택한 학생이 낮았지만, 학년에 따른 유의한 차이가 없었다. 자기 주도 학습에 대한 인식수준은 전공만족도별, 학업성취도별, 전공 선택 동기 별로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로 간호대학생의 자기주도 학습에 대한 인식수준과 수행수준은 일치하지 않았으며, 이는 학생들이 자기 주도 학습의 필요성은 충분히 인식하고 있지만 실제로 실행에 옮기고 있지 않고 있음을 의미한다. 이에 간호육자들은 교육대상 학생들의 자기 주도 학습 능력과 현황을 구체적으로 파악하고 이를 강화하고 향상시킬 수 있는 교수학습 전략을 개발해야 할 필요성이 있다.
