Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to examine the causal relationship and invest the difference among isolation, interaction, content satisfaction, achievement and persistence in cyber university education by employment status. For this study, 104 students at A cyber university in Korea completed surveys in the fall semester of 2011. The result of this study indicated that there was a meaningful effect of interaction on isolation. Secondly, there was a meaningful effect of interaction on content satisfaction. Thirdly there was a meaningful effect of interaction on achievement. Lastly there were meaningful effects of isolation and interaction on persistence. In addition, according to multi-group analysis, there were no significant differences of structural path coefficients between two groups. Based on these results, this study suggests instructional design methods and management strategies to improve the quality of learning in cyber universities.

본 연구에서는 사이버대학에서 고립감, 상호작용, 콘텐츠만족도, 성취도 및 학습지속의향 간의 구조적 관계를 검증하고 직장유무에 따른 차이를 분석하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 2011년 2학기 A 사이버대학 학생을 대상으로 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 상호작용은 고립감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 상호작용은 콘텐츠만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 셋째, 상호작용이 성취도에 미치는 영향력이 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 넷째로 고립감과 상호작용은 학습지속의향에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 직장 유무에 따른 고립감, 상호작용, 콘텐츠만족도, 성취도 및 학습지속의향에서 경로계수 차이를 분석한 결과 집단 간 유의미한 차이는 없는 것으로 드러났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 사이버대학에서의 사이버교육콘텐츠 및 교육의 질 제고를 위해 요구되는 콘텐츠 설계 및 운영전략을 제언하였다.
