Abstract

We investigated the student's satisfaction in team activities. The 64 engineering college freshmen were grouped into 13 teams, and a set of questionnaire was given and analyzed. The results showed that the overall team satisfaction positively affects the team performance. However, the team satisfaction is more correlated with the team member's participation and the relationship. The team satisfaction tends to increase when having an environment where the team members regard each other, which they felt more important than the outcome. The particular role of team members was not directly related to the team satisfaction, and the students prefer having self-control in team formation. By using the study results, we may support students to have a positive experience of team learning especially in convergence educational environment.

본 연구에서는 공대의 교과과정에서 흔히 요구되는 팀 활동에 대해 신입생들을 대상으로 팀 활동의 만족감과 관련 요인들을 분석하였다. 입문교과를 수강하는 신입생 64명을 대상으로 13개의 팀을 구성하여 총 5개의 개방형 과제를 통해 팀 활동을 수행하게 한 후 설문조사를 실시하였다. 팀 활동에 대한 전반적인 만족감은 팀의 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미침을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 팀 만족도는 팀의 성과보다는 팀원의 활동 참여도와 팀원 간의 관계가 좋다고 인식하는 정도에 더욱 상관관계가 있음을 발견하였다. 학생들은 상호 배려하는 화목한 팀 분위기가 조성될 때 팀 활동의 만족감이 증가하며, 팀의 분위기가 성과보다 중요하다고 느끼고 있었다. 한편 팀원의 역할별 구성은 팀 활동의 만족도와 직접적인 관계가 없었으며, 또한 자율적인 팀 구성에 대한 선호도가 높음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 학생들의 팀 활동 만족감이 극대화되도록 지원을 한다면 특히 최근 학제적 융복합 학습 환경에서의 팀 활동을 통한 교육적인 효과가 높아질 것으로 기대한다.
