Abstract

Teachers expect team-based project learning to help students develop collaborative and real-world problem solving skills. In practice, however, students tend to solve problems with simple division of labor, and there is a tendency that learning transfer does not occur in solving problems. The purpose of this study is to develop a collaborative learning model based on the transactive memory system (TMS) and to verify its effectiveness. The collaborative learning model based on the TMS is composed of three stages. The first stage is developing TMS. In this stage, the students learn physics concepts and make knowledge about the expertise of group members through peer instruction. The second stage, activating TMS, is building trust through solving well-defined problems for developing near-transfer. And in the third stage, applying TMS, the students solve an ill-defined problem based on real-world context for practicing far-transfer. Based on this model, a 15-week program including two projects on geometric optics and sound waves was developed and applied to 60 college students. The data for five weeks of one project were collected and analyzed. As a result, the TMS of the experimental group with the TMS-based collaborative learning model improved stepwise. Whereas, the difference between the first week and the last week was statistically significant, while the TMS change of the comparison group using the general project learning model was not significant. Also, the experimental group showed that the learning transfer occurred better in the project than the comparison group. A collaborative learning model based on TMS can be used to learn how students gain synergy through collaboration and how students collaboratively transfer the learned concepts in problem solving.

교수자들은 팀기반 프로젝트 학습을 통해 학생들이 협업능력과 실생활 문제해결력을 기르기를 기대한다. 하지만 프로젝트 학습에서 학생들은 단순분업방식으로 문제를 해결하려 할 뿐 아니라 학습전이가 잘 일어나지 않는 경향이 있다. 학생들이 협업의 시너지를 내고 서로의 지식을 이용하여 학습전이를 일어나게 하기 위해서, 이 연구에서는 교류기억체계(TMS) 기반 협력학습 모형을 개발하여 적용하고 그 효과를 검증하고자 한다. 교류기억체계 기반 협력학습 모형은 과학개념을 학습하면서 동료의 전문성을 파악하는 교류기억체계 개발 단계, 간단한 협력적 문제해결을 통해 신뢰를 기르는 교류기억체계 정교화 단계, 마지막으로 조직화된 지식처리를 하는 교류기억체계 적용의 3단계로 이루어져 있다. 첫 번째 단계에서 동료교수법을 통해 과학개념을 학습함과 동시에 그룹 구성원이 서로 어떤 지식을 잘 알고 있는지 전문성을 파악한다. 두 번째 단계에서 잘 정의된 실험 문제를 협력적으로 해결하며 근전이를 경험한다. 세 번째 단계에서 근전이 경험을 바탕으로 프로젝트 수행을 위한 원전이를 통해 빈약하게 정의된 문제를 해결한다. 이 모형을 기반으로 기하광학과 음파에 관한 15주 교육 프로그램을 만들어 대학생들에게 적용하였다. 이 중 프로젝트 1개를 적용한 5주간의 자료를 수집하고 분석하였다. 적용결과, 일반 프로젝트 학습을 적용한 그룹의 TMS변화는 유의하지 않았음에 비해, 교류기억체계 기반 협력학습모형을 적용한 그룹의 TMS는 단계적으로 향상되었고, 첫째 주와 마지막 주의 차이는 통계적으로 유의하였다. 또한 실험집단은 비교집단에 비해 프로젝트 수행에서 학습전이가 더 잘 일어난 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 학생들이 협력을 통해 시너지를 얻는 방법을 익히고, 학습한 내용을 문제해결에 잘 적용하도록 하는데 교류기억체계기반 협력학습 모형이 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
