Abstract

According to the participants, the current K-MOOC (Korean Massive Open Online Course) has a few problems, such as too few courses, low content quality, and useless learner management system compared to MOOCs abroad. These problems caused diminished learner motivation. Consequently, the K-MOOC service has recorded a low course completion rate despite high expenses spent to develop the contents and thus requires remedies to fix the issues. This study drew research subjects from a pool of college and graduate students representing the primary users of the K-MOOC. This study limited the research scope to the four categories: motivation, learning experience, recognition, and performance of the Biggs' 3P Learning System Model. Based on the literature review, ten variables were selected and explored how the subjects perceived four categories using the survey questionnaire. This study also examined the relationship between ten variables and generated suggestions for the instructors, course managers, and platform developers to make the K-MOOC better.

MOOC 서비스의 플랫폼을 이어받아 국내에서 2015년부터 서비스를 개시한 한국형 온라인 공개강좌(Korea-Massive Open Online Course, K-MOOC)는 지난해까지 서비스의 양적인 성장에 주력하여 강좌 수와 수강자 수의 확보에 집중하였던 반면, 2020년부터는 새로운 강좌 커리큘럼과 묶음강좌의 개발, 서비스 제공기관의 확대를 통한 폭넓은 주제 분야의 강좌 제공 등 서비스의 질적인 성장을 도모하기 위해 다양한 시도를 진행하고 있다. 설문의 분석 결과를 바탕으로 K-MOOC 서비스의 방향성을 교수자와 강좌 관리자, 서비스 플랫폼 개발자의 측면에서 다음과 같이 제안하였다. 첫째, 강좌를 제공하는 교수자는 다양한 주제분야의 강좌를 제공하기 위해 강좌개발 전략을 구상하여야 한다. 둘째, 강좌를 제공하는 교수자와 K-MOOC 학습을 지원하는 관리자는 전공학습지원 수강동기를 가진 학습자들이 강좌 내 콘텐츠에 적극적으로 참여할 수 있도록 지원해야 한다. 셋째, K-MOOC 플랫폼 개발자는 좀 더 학습자의 학습 편의성을 높일 수 있는 방향으로 현재의 시스템을 개선해야 한다.
