Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the level of professors' understanding and perception of adaptive learning and proposed how college can implement successful adaptive learning in college classes. For research purposes, online survey was conducted by 162 professors of A university in capital region. As a result, professors seemed to feel pressure to provide students personalized feedback and gave concerned that students don't study enough in advance before participating in class. It was also found that professors realized that they have low level of understanding about adaptive learning, while they revealed intention to make use of adaptive learning in their class. They also answered that adaptive learning system is the most helpful support for encouraging professors to apply adaptive learning in real class. We proposed what is required to encourage professor to implement adaptive learning in their class.

인공지능을 활용한 적응형 학습은 최근 국내 대학들이 직면하고 있는 학생들의 기초학력 저하와 학습격차 증가 등의 문제해결을 위한 방편이 될 수 있다. 인공지능 기반 적응형 학습이 성공적으로 대학 수업에 도입되고 실천되기 위해서는 교수자의 적극적인 관심과 참여가 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 대학 교수들을 대상으로 적응형 학습에 대한 인식을 분석하여 대학 수업에서의 적응형 학습 구현을 위한 방안을 제안하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 수도권 소재 A대학 교수들을 대상으로 온라인 설문을 통해 자료를 수집하였으며, 162명의 교수들이 응답에 참여하였다. 설문 분석 결과 교수들은 학생 맞춤형 피드백 제공의 어려움, 학생들의 사전학습 부족 및 기초학력 저하를 수업 운영에서의 문제로 높게 인식하고 있었다. 또 적응형 학습에 대한 교수들의 지식 수준은 낮았지만, 적응형 학습 적용 의향은 높은 것으로 나타났다. 적응형 학습 적용을 위한 지원방안으로는 활용이 쉽고 유용한 적응형 학습 시스템 제공에 대한 요구가 가장 높았다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 대학에서의 적응형 학습 적용의 가능성을 논의하고, 적응형 학습의 성공적 도입과 적용을 위한 구체적인 방안을 제언하였다.
