Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify the cognitive theory of Multimedia learning in a Smart Pad environment. Specifically, the viability of the multimedia principle and individual difference principle was tested for this study. To accomplish this, participants were divided into two groups based on their prior knowledge level (high/low), and members of each group were given one of two Smart Pad based programs, one text-based and the other text and image based. Results indicate that the use of images and the interaction between image use and prior knowledge did not have a significant effect on cognitive load levels. However, there were significant effects on learning achievement. This study implies that when developing Smart Pad based learning content, the small screen size compared to PC monitors, types and functions of images, and learning objectives should be considered.

본 연구는 학습을 위한 멀티미디어 활용에 대한 설계 원리 중 멀티미디어 원리와 개인차 원리가 스마트패드 기반 콘텐츠에서도 적용되는지 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 텍스트 기반 콘텐츠와 멀티미디어 원리(텍스트+이미지)를 적용한 콘텐츠를 각각 개발하고, 학습자들을 사전지식이 높은 집단과 낮은 집단으로 분류한 다음, 각 집단을 양분하여 두 종류의 스마트 패드용 콘텐츠를 학습하게 하였다. 각 집단의 인지부하 정도와 학업성취도를 측정한 결과, 멀티미디어 원리와 개인차 원리는 인지부하에 유의한 효과를 가져오지 못하였으나, 학업성취도 차원에서는 모두 유의한 효과를 가져왔다. 이러한 연구결과는 PC 모니터보다 제한된 스마트 패드의 화면 크기, 이미지의 성격, 그리고 학습목표의 성격 등에 기인한 것으로 보여지며, 향후 스마트 패드용 콘텐츠 개발에 있어 시사점을 제공할 수 있다.
