Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare students' perception shaped by two different university classrooms: Traditional Classroom and ALC(Active learning classroom). We conducted survey of 71 university students who were taught by an identical instructor using same pedagogy. The survey questionnaires asked respondents about their perceptions on teaching and learning and physical environments relations, teaching proficiency, social context, student satisfaction and immersion. The data was analyzed using Student's T-test. The results showed that ALC group, compared to the traditional classroom group, demonstrated statistically higher awareness on teaching and learning and physical environments relations, teaching proficiency, and instructor-student unofficial relations. Based on these findings, implications and limitations of this study were discussed.

본 연구는 학습자의 능동적인 학습활동을 촉진하여 학습의 질을 제고하기 위해 설계된 ALC(Active learning classroom) 수업에 대한 학습자의 인식을 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 수도권 소재 A대학 71명의 학생(ALC 수업 43명, 일반교실 수업 28명)을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고, 교실 구성요소 간의 관계, 교수자의 수업전문성, 교실의 사회·문화적 환경, 심리·정서적 환경에 대한 인식을 비교하였다. 주요 연구 결과로는 첫째, ALC 수업 학생들은 교수·학습과 물리적 학습환경의 관계를 보다 긍정적으로 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, ACL 수업 학생들은 ALC 환경을 능숙하게 다루는 측면에서의 교수자의 전문성을 긍정적으로 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, ALC 수업 학생들은 교수자와의 비형식적 관계가 보다 촉진되었다고 인식하였으나 심리·정서적 측면에서의 만족도 및 몰입은 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 새로운 학습공간 설계에 있어 교수·학습활동 운영을 위한 실제적인 시사점을 제공할 것으로 기대한다.
