Abstract

The purpose of this research was examining the effects of problem-based learning strategies(PBL) on problem solving skill conducted in Korea, using meta-analysis technique. This meta-analysis reviewed the results of 41 studies published between 1998 and 2017 in Korea. The overall weighted mean effect size value was .753 with .064 standard error which was calculated by random effects model. PBL strategies have been found to be more effective in mathematics course (d=.922), art course (d=.916), practical art course (d=.827), E-PBL (d=.791) and middle school level (d=.972). As PBL exhibit a substantial effect on students' problem solving skill, it is recommended that teachers should learn how to implement these strategies in their lesson. PBL is expected to contribute to the improvement of teaching methods as the learning environment changes during the 4th Industrial Revolution.

이 연구는 문제중심학습(PBL)이 문제해결능력에 미치는 효과에 대한 일반화된 결론을 도출하고, 이와 관련된 조절변인을 발견하는 데 목적이 있었다. 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 국내에서 1998년부터 2017년까지 발행된 석사학위 논문과 국내 학술지 논문 41편을 분석하고, 41개의 개별 효과 크기를 산출하였다. PBL이 문제해결능력에 미치는 평균 효과 크기는 .753이었으며, 이것은 PBL이 문제해결능력에 유의미한 교수-학습 방법이라는 것을 의미한다. 한편 문제해결능력에 영향을 미치는 조절변인은 교과, 유형, 학교급이었다. PBL의 문제해결능력 효과는 수학(d=.922), 예술(d=.916), 실과(d=.827), E-PBL(d=.791), 중학교(d=.972)에서 더 높았다. 교사들은 학생들의 문제해결능력 신장을 위하여, PBL 학습 환경을 유의미하게 조성할 필요가 있었다. PBL이 4차 산업혁명 시대의 학습 환경 변화에 따른 학생들의 고차원적인 문제해결능력을 신장하는 교수-학습방법으로 활용되기를 기대된다.
