Abstract

Problem/Project based learning(PBL) is a student-centered teaching method in which students collaboratively solve problems and reflect their experiences. According to the results of PBL study and the experiences of the authors in PBL instruction, this paper introduced the necessities, output and significance of learning process PBL evaluation method and sums up our PBL evaluation process. The issue of appropriate and fair evaluation has been raised in untact (non-contact) university mathematics education due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) of the year 2020. To this end, when we had the course on for the summer semester held at S University in the summer of 2020. To ensure the fairness in evaluation and to improve the quality of our college math education, the PBL evaluation method was fully adapted. As a result, most of the students who took the lecture have learned a wide range of related knowledge without a single exception, and students agreed it is an ideal, fair, rational, and effective evaluation method applicable to other online courses in the era of untact education. This case was summarized in detail and introduced in this paper.

신종 코로나바이러스(COVID-19)로 인한 비대면(Untact, 비접촉) 대학수학교육에서 적절하고 공정한 평가에 대한 문제가 제기되고 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구진은 2020년 여름 S대학에서 진행한 도전학기에서 '인공지능을 위한 기초수학' 강좌를 운영하면서 평가의 공정성을 보장하면서도 교육의 양과 질을 향상시킬 수 있도록, 온라인과 오프라인 평가를 혼용한 과정중심 PBL(Problem/Project-Based Learning, 문제/프로젝트 기반학습) 평가를 전면적으로 도입하였다. 그 결과, 해당 강좌를 수강한 대부분의 학생들이 예외 없이 관련 지식을 폭넓게 학습했음을 확인했으며, 학습자들로부터 언택트 시대에 보통의 온라인 강좌에 적용 가능한 이상적이고 공정하며, 합리적이고 동시에 효과적인 평가방법이라는 피드백을 받았다. 본 원고에서는 과정중심 PBL 평가 사례를 구체적으로 증빙과 함께 소개한다.
