Abstract

The spread of COVID-19 and the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution have significantly affected the nature of college education causing many changes to the way it is conducted. One of these changes is the expansion of online education. The purpose of this study was to analyze the difficulties experienced by learners due to the transition to rapidly expanding online education at domestic universities, and to seek ways to support their learning through this new online platform. Results of a questionnaire showed that learners experienced difficulties in their interactions with professors because of the rapid transition to online education without adequate preparation. It was determined that there were not enough opportunities for communication between learners and professors as a result of non-face-to-face online education, and that learners did not receive Q&A or feedback quickly enough. The study also examined ways to ways to improve the effectiveness of online learning. Students showed a high preference for items such as "appropriate guidance regarding announcements such as lecture schedules," "providing lecture notes as learning materials."

코로나 팬데믹과 4차산업혁명의 도래는 대학교육에도 영향을 미쳐, 많은 변화가 유발되고 있다. 이러한 변화의 하나로 온라인 교육의 확대가 있다. 본 연구는 국내대학에서 급격하게 확대된 온라인교육으로 인한 학습자들의 어려움을 분석하고, 학습 지원방안을 모색하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 국내 대학의 건축공학전공 학생들을 대상으로 설문을 하였다. 그 결과 준비가 부족한 상황에서 급격히 확대된 온라인교육으로 인해, 교수와 학생의 상호작용에서 어려움이 있었던 것으로 나타났다. 비대면 온라인교육으로 인한 의사소통의 기회가 충분하지 못했고, 질의응답이나 피드백을 신속하게 받지 못한 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 본 연구는 온라인교육 학습의 어려움을 지원하기 위한 방법을 조사하였다. 학생들은 '강의일정과 같은 공지사항의 적절한 안내', '교수자의 강의노트를 학습자료로 제공' 등의 항목에서 높은 선호도를 보였다.
