Abstract

This research was conducted to analyze parents' attitudes on the issues related to the Smart Education Initiative Korea. The questions included the usefulness of major digital tools for educational purposes, knowledge on the Smart Education, necessity for better educational methods, and Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) policy. A total of 432 response cases from the parents were analyzed considering the parents' age, academic level, and income. As a result, parents regarded desktop PCs as more effective tools for learning when compared to tablet PCs. Meanwhile, mobile devices and SNSs were hardly considered as instructional tools. Second, familarity and understanding of the Smart Education were proportional to household income and mothers' education levels. Third, parents needed for the change in educational methods and agreed with the importance of students' self-regulated learning, collaboration, inquiry ability and creativity. Fourth, regarding BYOD, parents were willing to buy devices with a reasonable price. In conclusion, it is required to reflect the results of the study when implementing the Smart Education throughout the nation.

본 연구는 학부모들의 연령, 학력 및 소득수준에 따라 스마트교육과 관련된 주요 이슈에 대한 태도를 분석하기 위해 실시되었다. 설문내용으로는 주로 디지털 활용 교육효과, 스마트교육에 대한 이해도, 교육개선의 필요성, 그리고 태블릿PC의 개별구입 등과 관련된 것들이었다. 연구수행을 위해 서울시내 5개 초등학교로부터 수집된 432명의 학부모 설문결과가 활용되었다. 분석 결과 첫째, 학부모들은 태블릿 PC보다 일반 컴퓨터의 교육적 활용가능성에 보다 우호적이었으며, 휴대폰과 SNS의 교육효과에 대해서는 매우 부정적인 편이었다. 둘째, 스마트교육과 관련된 친숙도와 이해도는 어머니의 학력 및 가계수입과 비례하는 경향을 보였다. 셋째, 학부모들은 학교 교육방식의 변화 필요성, 그리고 학습자 측면에서는 자기주도 학습능력, 협력, 탐구능력, 창의성 등의 신장 필요성에 공감하였다. 넷째, BYOD 정책과 관련해서는 필요시 일정금액 한도 내에서 자녀에게 기기를 구입해 줄 수 있다는 의견이 우세하였다. 본 연구결과가 참조되어 학부모 의견이 적절히 반영된 스마트교육 시행이 요청된다.
