Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop and apply the project-based learning strategy in blended learning environment to raise and enhance scientific thinking skill, creativity, and problem solving skills to students who would be teachers of an elementary school in the future. This study was conducted as an action research based on an educational university. The study included 25 participants in a class. Data were collected through observation, surveys, interview and students' artifacts. Results indicated the project-based learning strategy in blended learning environment allowed students to raise problem solving skill, critical thinking skill, and creativity. Finally implications of this study, obstacles to conduct this study, and recommendations to implement this strategy more effectively and efficiently were presented.

이 연구의 목적은 혼합 학습 환경에서 추후 초등학교 교사가 될 학생들에게 과학적 사고 능력, 창의성 및 문제해결력을 배양하고 신장시키기 위하여 프로젝트 학습 전략을 개발하고 적용하는 것이다. 이 연구는 교육대학 환경에 의거하여 시행된 현장연구이다. 이 연구의 연구대상은 교육대학교 한 학급 25명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료는 관찰, 설문조사, 인터뷰와 학생들의 학습 결과물을 통하여 수집되었다. 혼합 학습 환경에서 프로젝트 학습 전략은 학생들에게 문제해결력, 과학적 사고력 및 창의성을 배양하게 하는 것으로 연구 결과는 관찰되었다. 마지막으로 이 연구의 시사점, 이 연구를 시행하는 데 따르는 어려움 및 이 학습전략을 보다 효과적이고 효율적으로 시행하기 위한 제언들 제시하였다.
