Abstract

The problems current robotic technology education class has are the students with different basic background knowledge levels and the class based on the instructional teaching method. This study shows the implementation of the student teams achievement divisions (STAD) learning model into an introductory robotic technology education class to resolve the problems in the current robotic technology class. The STAD learning model focuses on the ability of each team member with different knowledge levels and make team members help each other through class activities such as assignments and a project. All members get rewarded by their performance output as a team in a course grade. The outputs of STAD learning models were measured by paired sample t-test as pre-test and post-test in terms of students's transition on basic knowledge for robotic technology, students' attitudinal transition on teaching robotic technology class, and students' competencies and self-efficacy on related subject areas. The study participants were 22 pre-service technology teachers at a university. The results show that all four measured areas were improved significantly, compared to pre-test with respect to the means scores of each measurement area. The STAD learning model could be an alternate for the current robotic technology class to deliver the better class outcomes for students under the specific circumstances.

현재 로봇기술과 관련된 강의들은 수강생들의 다른 기초 지식 수준과 교수학습 방법에 관한 문제들을 가지고 있다. 이 연구는 이러한 문제점에 고려하여 성취과제분담 협동학습(STAD)의 모형을 로봇기술 입문 강의에 적용한 사례 연구이다. 이 강의에서 STAD학습 모형을 사용하여 다른 지식 수준을 가지고 있는 팀 구성원의 능력 향상에 초점을 두고 과제와 프로젝트와 같은 수업 활동을 통하여 서로 팀 구성원들이 협력하는데 관심을 가지게 된다. 이는 모든 구성원들이 팀 성과에 따라 같은 성적을 받게 되기 때문이다. STAD 학습의 성과는 로봇 기술과 관련된 기초 지식, 로봇 기술을 가르치기 위한 태도, 그리고 학습 영역에 대한 자신감과 교수 능력에 관하여 사전 평가와 사후 평가를 실시하였고 t 검정을 통하여 그 효과를 분석하였다. 이 연구의 참가자는 교사양성기관의 22명의 예비기술교사이다. 이 연구의 결과 로봇 기술과 관련된 기초 지식, 로봇 기술을 가르치기 위한 태도, 그리고 학습 영역에 대한 자신감과 교수 능력에 있어 향상된 성취를 보였다. STAD 학습은 특별한 상황에서 예비교사들에게 더 나은 학습 결과를 도출하기 위한 하나의 대안적인 방법이라 할 수 있다.
