Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence elementary school learners' participation in cyber home study, and to suggest possible solutions to problem of the participation rates. To identify the factors, we analyzed the literature and developed a questionnaire consisting of 8 possible factors and 33 items. Data gathered from 429 elementary school learners were analyzed in a logistic regression model, which was utilized to determine the probability of the learner's participation in cyber home study because of any of the identified variables. We studied the following variables: problem from learning motivation & attitude, burden from computer, difficulty of new learning method, problem from instructional design, difficulty of interaction, problem from screen design, and problem from learning environment. The results indicated that two factors were important: burden from computer, difficulty of new learning method. That is to say, having a low level of burden of computer and difficulty of new learning method helps improve the rate of elementary school learners' participation in cyber home study.

이 연구는 초등교육에서 사이버가정학습의 참여를 저해하는 요인을 도출함으로써, 참여율 제고를 위한 시사점을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 선행연구 분석을 통해 8가지 잠정적 저해요인(학습동기 및 태도의 문제, 컴퓨터에 대한 부담감, 컴퓨터 사용의 어려움, 새로운 학습방법의 어려움, 학습설계의 문제, 상호작용의 어려움, 화면설계의 문제, 환경상의 문제)를 도출하였다. 이를 바탕으로 총 33개 문항으로 구성된 설문지를 제작하여 사이버가정학습을 실시하고 있는 초등학생 429명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료의 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과, 초등교육에서 사이버가정학습 참여 저해에 영향을 주는 요인으로 컴퓨터에 대한 부담감과 새로운 학습방법의 어려움이 유의한 결과를 보였다. 이중에서 참여저해에 대한 영향력은 컴퓨터에 대한 부담감, 새로운 학습방법에 대한 어려움 순으로 나타났다. 즉, 컴퓨터에 대한 부담감과 새로운 학습 방법에 대한 어려움이란 문제가 클수록 사이버가정학습에의 참여를 더욱 저해하는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 토대로 결론삼아 다음과 같은 초등사이버가정학습 참여율을 제고방안을 제안할 수 있다. 첫째, 초등교육에서 사이버가정학습의 참여 저해요인에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인으로 지적된 '컴퓨터에 대한 부담감'을 줄이기 위해 학습자가 컴퓨터에 대한 두려움을 없애주고 컴퓨터가 학습에 유용하다고 느낄 수 있도록 '사전 컴퓨터교육'을 실시할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 사이버가정학습이 학교교육의 연장선상에서 인식될 수 있도록 학생들을 안내할 필요가 있다. 셋째, 초등학생을 대상으로 한 사이버가정학습 운영 시 컴퓨터에 대한 부담감이나 새로운 학습방법에 대한 어려움이 있는지 고려해 초등학생에 맞는 적절한 학습설계를 제공해야 한다.
