Abstract

This study examined the major precedent variables that could affect e-learning users' attitudes in two highly-networked countries and a sharply-spreading country in East Asia, namely South Korea, Vietnam, and Singapore. This research also reviewed why e-learners were using the Internet for their study and unveiled cross-national differences in antecedents of online activities, motivations, intention to use, and enhancement in performance among three countries. This paper could see if there were any differences in precedents of e-learning among the countries by ANOVA. Plus, the study uncovered that what precedents impacted the follow-ups of e-learning by regression analysis in each country. The paper found out that differences in social and cultural aspect influenced on the precedents and the follow-ups of e-learning among the countries. For example, Korean learners had stronger utilitarian motivations for e-learning while the Vietnamese and the Singaporean did not. Korean and Singaporean learners were more strongly influenced to visit e-learning sites by their friends and lecturers than the Vietnamese.

이 논문의 목적은 첫째 온라인에서 학습활동을 하는 e-러닝 이용자의 사후 태도에 영향을 미치는 선행요인을 파악하고, 어떤 요인들이 사후태도에 주로 영향을 미치는가를 파악하는 것이다. 둘째, 한국, 베트남, 싱가폴의 e-러닝 사용자들을 조사 대상으로 하여 3개국 간에 사회적, 문화적, 지리적 차이에 따라 e-러닝과 관련된 선행요인과 사후태도에 유의한 차이가 있는가를 파악하는 것이다. 이 논문에서는 ANOVA 기법을 사용하여 e-러닝 선행요인에 차이가 있는지 확인했으며, 회귀분석을 통하여 3개 국가별로 어떠한 선행요인이 e-러닝 후행요인에 영향을 주는지 밝히고, 국가간 차이를 확인하였다. 분석결과 국가간에 선행요인에 차이가 있었으며, 각 국가별로 e-러닝 후행요인에 영향을 미치는 선행요인도 차이를 발견할 수 있었다. 발견된 국가별 차이점은 각국의 e-러닝 사업 실무자에게 의미있는 시사점을 제공할 수 있다. 향후 조사대상을 초중고생에까지 확대 연구할 수 있을 것이다.
