Abstract

This study is aimed to analyze university students' learning experiences in K-MOOC by conducting a survey of university students' perception of K-MOOC, who are the major users of K-MOOC. Also it intended to use them to develop a specific strategy for continued use of K-MOOC. The study was conducted on 155 university students who attending university course and experienced K-MOOC's course within a year. The survey was conducted on online and provided with multiple questions about sustainability and satisfaction. Also survey provided with a subjective items about reason of satisfaction and dissatisfaction with the K-MOOC, and expectation about the future K-MOOC. The analysis found that the main motivation for university students was the convenience of online learning, which was the highest in questions asking why they were satisfied. For reasons of dissatisfaction, the decrease in academic volition and lack of interaction, and the technical problems of K-MOOC system were pointed out. University students learners are expecting improvements in course content and K-MOOC system. Based on these results, this paper suggests instructional strategies to help K-MOOC university students for becoming lifelong learners of K-MOOC.

본 연구는 K-MOOC의 주 사용자인 대학생을 대상으로 K-MOOC에 대한 인식 조사를 진행하여 이들의 학습 경험을 분석하고, 이를 K-MOOC의 지속적인 사용을 위한 설계 및 실행 전략 개발의 기초 자료로 사용하는 데 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 현재 대학에 재학 중이고 1년 이내에 K-MOOC 수강 경험이 있는 대학생 155명을 대상으로 진행되었다. 온라인으로 설문을 진행하였으며, 지속사용의도와 만족도를 알아보기 위한 객관식 문항과 수강 동기, K-MOOC에 대한 만족 사유와 불만족 사유, 향후 K-MOOC에 대한 기대사항을 묻는 주관식 문항을 제시하였다. 분석 결과 대학생 수강자들의 주요 수강 동기는 온라인 학습의 편리함에서 비롯된 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 편리함은 K-MOOC에 대한 만족 사유를 묻는 문항에서도 가장 높게 나타났다. 불만족 사유로는 학습의지 저하와 상호작용 부족, K-MOOC의 시스템 문제가 지적되었다. 기대사항으로는 콘텐츠의 향상과 K-MOOC 시스템에 대한 보완에 대한 요구가 가장 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 K-MOOC 대학생 학습자가 향후 지속적으로 K-MOOC를 사용하는 평생학습자가 될 수 있도록 지원하는 방안을 제안하고자 한다.
