Abstract

This study explores conceptions of learning management and examines the effects on study approach and critical thinking. Undergraduates majoring or minoring in management were gathered through convenient sampling and participated in the online survey. A total of 88 responses were analyzed. The results reveal that there is no significant gender or grade difference on conceptions of learning management. Conceptions of "test" and "seeing in a new way" are associated with deep study approach, whereas conceptions of 'test' is associated with surface study approach. Conceptions of "seeing in a new way" has a significant effect on critical thinking. The findings may inform redesign of instruction or curriculum especially focusing on improving high-quality thinking skills as the learning outcomes.

본 연구는 경영학에 대한 대학생들의 학습개념을 알아보고 학습개념이 학습접근과 비판적 사고에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 편의 표집한 경영학 전공/부전공 학생들을 대상으로 온라인 설문을 실시하였다. 총 88명의 응답 분석 결과, 경영학 전공/부전공 학생들에게 학습개념의 유의미한 성차 또는 학년차는 발견되지 않았다. '시험'과 '관점 확장' 학습개념이 심층적 접근에, '시험'이 표층적 접근에 유의미한 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, '관점 확장' 학습개념이 비판적 사고에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 연구결과는 고차원적 사고능력 향상을 목표로 수업 또는 교육과정 개선을 고민하는 교수자 또는 수업설계자들에게 좋은 지침 및 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
