Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of On-Line Community Assisted Team Learning (OCATL) activities on academic achievement and team member's Shared Mental Model(SMM) subscale scores. Two studies were conducted over two semesters in different universities. The first study was aimed at examining the effects of OCATL on university students' academic achievement using pre- and post- experimental design. For this experiment, 133 university students composed of 80 male and 53 female students from 13 colleges participated. The OCATL activities included the orientation of OCATL, seminar on collaborative learning, on-line community assisted team learning with sixteen hour participation during one semester and a final report (or a term paper). To measure these students' academic achievement, their pre- and post-semester's GPA were compared. The results of paired t-test revealed a significant difference in academic achievement (p<.05). The second study was designed to compare the scores of SMM subscales of the experimental group with the OCATL activities and those of the control group without using OCATL activities. The data was collected using the scale of Shared Mental Model(SMM)-short version developed by Johnson in 2011[18]. For this study, 74 participants from 10 teams served as an experimental group and 15 teams which were not exposed to OCATL activities served as a control group. The MANOVA results showed that SMM subscores of two groups measured after the experiment were statistically significantly different: The experimental group with the OCATL activities showed high scores on general task and team knowledge, general task and communication skills, attitudes toward team and task, team dynamics and interactions, team resources and working environment, and satisfaction with the team.

이 연구는 온라인 학습커뮤니티 보조의 팀 학습(Online-Community Assisted Team Learning: OCATL)이 대학생의 '학업성취도'와 '공유된 정신모형(Shared Mental Model: SMM)'에 미치는 효과를 검증해내는데 있다. 각기 다른 지역에 소재하는 대학교의 대학생을 대상으로 2학기 동안 두 개의 연구가 실시되었다. 우선, 연구1에서는 OCATL을 실시하고 대학생의 학업성취도에 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 133명(남학생 80명, 여학생 53명)의 참가 대학생들의 OCATL 참여 전 후 학점에서의 평점평균(GPA)를 사용하여 비교하였다. OCATL 활동에는 '오리엔테이션', '협동학습 세미나', '온라인 학습커뮤니티 보조의 학기별 16시간 이상의 팀 학습', '최종보고서 제출'의 과정이 포함되었다. OCATL 활동 전후의 학점에서의 점수변화를 t검증을 통해 비교한 결과 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<.05). 또한, 연구2에서는 OCATL을 실험집단(10팀)에 제공하고 통제집단(15팀)에는 온라인 학습 커뮤니티 보조를 제외한 팀학습을 하도록 하여 활동이 종료된 후에 SMM에서의 척도 점수를 비교하였다. 실험집단과 통제집단의 총 학생수는 74명이었다. SMM 측정은 Johnson(2011)이 개발한 SMM 척도의 단축문항지를 사용하였다. 분석결과, 팀 학습 이후 측정한 SMM 점수에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 다변인분산분석(MANOVA) 결과, 온라인 학습 커뮤니티 환경을 지원된 팀학습 실험집단과 통제집단 간에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 또한 SMM의 하위 구성변인을 종속변인으로 하고 집단을 독립변인으로 한 단변랑 분산분석(ANOVA) 결과, '일반과제와 팀지식', '일반과제와 의사소통기술', '팀원과 과제에 대한 태도', '팀역동과 상호작용', '팀 자원과 활동환경', '팀만족도' 점수에서 실험처치 후 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다($p$ <.05).
