Abstract

With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and changes in the educational environment, team-based assignments are increasing in university classes. Effective team formation in team-based class is an important issue that affects students' satisfaction and the effectiveness of education. However, previous studies mostly focused on post analysis on the results of team formation, which makes it difficult to use them in actual classes. In this paper, we present a mathematical model of how to create a balanced team that reflects students' abilities and other characteristics. Characteristic values for assignment may be scores, such as students' proficiency, binary values such as gender, and multi-values, such as grade or department. This problem is a type of equitable partitioning problem, which takes the form of 0-1 integer programming, and the objective function is linear or nonlinear, depending on how balance is achieved. The basic model or the extended model presented can be applied to the situation where teams are balanced in consideration of various factors in actual class.

4차 산업혁명의 도래와 교육 환경의 변화에 따라 대학 수업에서 팀 단위의 과제 수행이 증가하고 있다. 팀 기반의 수업에서 효과적인 팀의 편성은 학생들의 만족도와 교육의 효과에 영향을 미치는 중요한 문제이지만, 기존의 연구들은 팀 편성의 결과에 대한 사후분석에 중점을 두고 있어서 실제 수업에서 활용하기는 어려웠다. 본 연구에서는 학생들의 능력을 비롯한 여러 특성들을 반영하여 균형적인 팀을 편성하는 방법에 대한 수리적 모형을 제시하였다. 배정의 기준이 되는 특성값들은 학생들의 능력값 처럼 점수일 수도 있고, 성별과 같이 2진값, 그리고 학년이나 학과와 같이 다중값인 경우를 포함한다. 이 문제는 균형배분문제의 일종으로 0-1 정수계획법의 형태를 가지며, 목적함수는 균형을 달성하는 방법에 따라 선형 또는 비선형이 된다. 본 연구에서 제시한 기본 모형이나 확장된 모형은 실제 수업에서 다양한 요소들을 고려하여 팀을 균형 있게 편성하는 상황에 응용이 가능하다.
