Abstract

With the recent advance of IT technology and the change of education paradigm, vocational training has been also evolved. In the background of mobilization of learning, increase of bite-size contents, and the agility of just-in-time learning, this study surveyed the online learners' motivation, perceptions, and learning behaviour. Total 4,021 learners from 6 distance learning institutions revealed that learners take the e-learning courses due to more for their self-development than the company's supports and policy. Also, they perceived the subject matter in contents are the most important. The results from this study suggest that the development of contents should focus on the subject matter that can be utilized for their jobs immediately. Lastly, the study confirms that learning space and time has been changed in the flexible way to use their spare time between work and life. Irregularity of learning and hasty preparations were one of major characteristics in the aspect of learning behaviour.

정보통신기술 및 교육패러다임 변화와 맞물려 이러닝을 활용한 직업교육훈련은 그동안 몇 차례 굵직한 변화를 겪어 왔다. 이러닝을 통한 직업능력개발의 트렌드는 학습의 모바일화, 짧은 콘텐츠의 증가, 학습경험제공의 민첩성과 현장 밀착성으로 요약 가능한 가운데, 본 연구는 이러닝을 통한 직업교육훈련 대상자들의 학습동기, 교육구성요소에 대한 중요성 인식, 학습 행태에 대한 조사연구를 실시하였다. 6개 훈련기관의 4,021명이 참여한 설문조사 응답을 분석한 결과, 자발적 자기계발 차원의 학습이 회사의 직무교육차원보다 높게 나타났고, 이러닝의 구성요소 중에서는 학습내용이 가장 중요한 것으로 나타나, 기존의 형식에 치우진 교육콘텐츠 개발이나 훈련평가가 보다 내용 중심적으로 변화해야함을 시사하였다. 학습 행태측면에서도 학습장소와 시간 활용이 보다 융통적으로 변화하였고, 시간을 정해놓지 않고 틈틈이 불규칙적으로, 특정시점에 몰아서 학습하는 추세를 확인할 수 있었다.
