Abstract

The purpose of this paper is the development of course data models and learning achievement computation algorithms for enabling the course-embedded assessment(CEA), which is essential of competency-based education in higher education. The previous works related CEA have weakness in the development of the systematic solution for CEA computation. In this paper, we propose data models and algorithms to implement competency-based assessment system. Our data models are composed of a layered architecture of learning outcomes, learning modules and activities, and an associative matrix of learning outcomes and activities. The proposed methods can be applied to the development of the course-embedded assessment system as core modules. We evaluated the effectiveness of our proposed models through applying the models to a practical course, Java Programing. From the result of the experiments we found that our models can be used in the assessment system as a core module.

본 논문의 목적은 교과기반 학습성취평가 시스템 구현을 위한 교과 데이터 모델 및 학습 성취도 산출 알고리즘 개발이다. 현재 대학 교육의 방향인 역량기반 교육을 위해서는 교과기반 학습성취 평가가 필수적이지만 기존 연구들은 교육학적 관점으로서 컴퓨터 시스템 관점의 해결책이 매우 부족하다. 본 논문에서는 코스맵 데이터 구조 분석을 통해 계층 구조의 학습성과 모델, 학습모듈 및 학습활동 모델, 학습성과와 학습활동 연계 매트릭스 모델 및 자동화된 성취도 산출 및 성취수준 평가를 위한 성취도 계산 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이를 통해 교과기반 학습성취 평가 시스템을 개발할 수 있으며 시스템 활용을 통해 학습자의 역량 성취를 효과적으로 평가할 수 있다. 제안된 모델과 알고리즘의 평가를 위해 실제 운영중인 자바프로그래밍 교과목에 적용하였으며 이를 통해 교과기반 학습성과 성취평가 시스템 구현의 핵심요소로 활용할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 향후 연구는 학습성과 성취도 산출을 기반으로 적응형 학습 피드백과 개인화된 학습 추천 알고리즘 개발 및 시스템 구현이다.
