Teaching and Learning using ICT and the Students' Moral Judgement and Academic Achievement in Ethics Course in a Middle School

중학교 도덕과에서 ICT 활용 교수-학습과 도덕적 판단력 및 학업 성취도와의 관계

This study examines the relationship between instruction using ICT and the students' moral judgement and academic achievement in ethics course in a middle school, and analyses the difference of learning effects according to gender. For the purpose of this study, the two hypotheses are established. One is that there would be a significant difference in learning effect between ICT instruction groups and teacher-centered instruction groups. The other is that there would be a significant difference in learning effect between male groups and female groups. This study sampled 144 students of four classes from the first graders of a middle school in Taejon. For experimental treatment, this study designed two instructional programs: ICT-using instruction and teacher-centered instruction. ICT-using instruction program was applied to two classes(72 students), and teacher-centered instruction program to the other two classes(72 students). The experimental design of the study was the pretest-posttest control group design. As a result of this study, the ICT-using instruction program influenced positively the students' moral judgement and its improvement. Concerning the degree of academic achievement, there was no significant difference between the ICT-using groups and the teacher-centered groups. The sex distinction among ICT-using groups does not make any significant difference in the moral judgement and academic achievement.

본 연구는 중학교 도덕과에서 ICT를 활용한 수업과 도덕적 판단력 및 학업성취도와의 관계를 알아보고, 학습자의 성별에 따라 학습효과가 다른가를 분석하고자 실시되었다. 연구대상은 중학교 1학년 남 녀 4학급 134명이며, 대상 학급 중에서 남 녀 각 1학급씩을 ICT 활용 수업집단과 전통적 수업집단으로 선정하였다. 수업집단별로 실험처치를 위해 16개의 도덕적 가치갈등 자료를 개발하여 10주 동안 처치하였다. 그 결과 ICT를 활용한 수업집단이 전통적 수업집단 보다 도덕적 판단력 점수의 향상도가 높았으나 학업성취도에 있어서는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. ICT를 활용한 수업집단에서 도덕적 판단력과 학업성취도는 성별에 따라 유의한 차이가 없었다.
