Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influences of small group learning using smart devices in science classes on students' achievement, learning motivation, attitude toward science lessons, and perception of small group learning using smart devices. Four 11th-grade classes (N=133) at a coed high school in Seoul were randomly assigned to a control group and a treatment group. The intervention of small group learning using smart devices emphasized collaborative writing on activity sheet. The students were taught about acid, base, and neutralization reaction for six class periods. After the instructions, an achievement test, the learning motivation test, the attitude toward science lessons test, and a questionnaire on the perception of small group learning using smart devices were administered. Two-way ANCOVA results revealed that there was a statistically significant interaction effect by their previous chemistry achievement in the achievement test scores. Only low-level students in small group learning using smart devices significantly improved their achievement probably by having the opportunities to get help from high-level students. The adjusted means of the treatment group were significantly higher than those of the control group in learning motivation and attitude toward science lessons. Students' perceptions of small group learning using smart devices tended to be positive. Educational implications of this study are discussed.

이 연구는 스마트 기기를 활용한 소집단 학습이 학생들의 학업 성취도, 학습 동기, 과학 수업에 대한 태도, 스마트 기기를 활용한 소집단 학습에 대한 인식 측면에 미치는 영향에 관하여 조사하고자 하였다. 서울시에 소재한 남녀 공학 고등학교 2학년 4개 학급(133명)을 통제 집단과 처치 집단으로 무선 배치하였다. 스마트 기기를 활용한 소집단 학습 전략은 협력적 활동지 작성을 강조하였다. 수업 처치는 '산과 염기'와 '중화반응'에 대하여 6차시 동안 실시하였다. 수업 처치 후, 학업 성취도 검사, 학습 동기 검사, 과학 수업에 대한 태도 검사, 스마트 기기를 활용한 소집단 학습에 대한 인식 검사를 실시하였다. 이원 공변량 분석 결과, 학업 성취도 검사 점수에서 사전 화학 성취도와의 상호작용 효과가 유의미하게 나타났다. 스마트 기기를 활용한 소집단 학습에서 하위 수준 학생들이 상위 수준의 학생들에게 도움을 받을 기회가 많아져서 성취도가 유의미하게 향상되었을 수 있다. 학습 동기, 과학 수업에 대한 태도에서 처치 집단의 교정 평균이 통제 집단에 비하여 유의미하게 높았다. 스마트 기기를 활용한 소집단 학습에 대한 학생들의 인식도 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구에 대한 교육적 함의를 논의하였다.
