Abstract

This study investigated the utilization level of learning strategies of 354 students who enrolled in the 'C' university, and aimed at finding out which learning strategies could predict their academic achievement. 'Learning strategies in higher education inventory' developed by Wild, Schiefele (1994) was used to measure the utilization level of learning strategies. The academic achievement was operationalized as students' GPA. First, it is reported that C university students do not frequently use learning strategies in their learning. Among 11 sub-learning strategies, critical review and concentration strategy were rarely used. The participants reported that the most frequently used strategies have been the learning environment management strategy and rehearsal strategy. There is a significant difference in use of 4 among 11 strategies between the male and the female students. All the sublearning strategies were correlated with students' GPA as well as each other except between study group strategy and concentration strategy. The predictive learning strategies for the students' academic achievement were the effort regulation and time management strategy.

지방 소재 대규모 C대학 재학생을 대상으로 학습전략의 사용수준을 파악하고 이들의 학업성취도와 학습전략 사용 간 상관관계를 탐색하였다. C대학에 재학 중인 총 354명의 학생이 참여하였고, 이들의 학습전략사용 수준을 파악하기 위한 도구로 Wild, Schiefele(1994)이 개발한 대학생학습전략 진단도구(LIST)를 사용하였다. 주요 결과로 첫째, C대학 재학생들의 학습전략사용수준은 전반적으로 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 특히 비판적 사고전략이 거의 사용되지 않았으며 집중전략도 잘 사용되지 않았다. 가장 사용 수준이 높았던 전략은 학습 시 주변을 정리하는 학습환경조성전략과 반복전략으로 나타났다. 둘째, 성별에 따른 학습전략사용수준에서 네 가지 하위전략에서 성별간 사용수준의 차이가 나타났다. 셋째, 모든 11개 하위 학습전략과 학업성취도 간에 유의미한 상관관계가 있었다. 마지막으로 참여 대학생들의 학업성취도를 예측할 수 있는 학습전략은 노력전략과 시간관리전략으로 나타났다.
