Abstract

This study aims to explore the effect of quality factors and learning styles on users' satisfaction in e-Learning context. For this purpose, statistical methods such as reliability test, factor analysis, ANOVA, regression analysis were carried out using the survey data from university students. The quality factors of e-Learning were classified into contents, system, service, and interpersonal activities while learning styles were classified into positive-cooperative, self-directed, environmental-dependent, and passive styles. The results showed that each quality factors of e-Learning has a strong positive effect on user satisfaction, and self-directed group has higher satisfaction than other groups. Learning styles have moderating effects on the quality-satisfaction relationship, and especially, the group of passive learning style has a strong moderating effect on the interpersonal activities. Theoretical and practical implications and future research directions are drawn from these findings.

이 연구는 이러닝의 품질요인이 학습자 만족도에 미치는 영향과, 그 관계에 있어서 학습유형의 조절효과에 대해 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구를 위해 이러닝시스템을 사용하는 대학생을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 데이터 분석을 위해 신뢰분석, 요인분석, 분산분석, 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 실증분석 결과 이러닝의 품질요인은 컨텐츠, 시스템, 서비스, 상호작용 등 요인으로 나뉘었고, 학습자 유형은 적극적 협동학습유형, 자기주도적 학습유형, 환경의존적 학습유형, 소극적 학습유형으로 분류되었다. 이러닝의 각 품질요소는 사용자 만족도에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤으며, 특히 자기주도적 학습유형을 가진 그룹이 만족도 수준이 높았다. 학습유형은 품질요소와 만족도 간의 관계에서 조절효과를 보였으며, 특히, 소극적 학습유형은 커뮤니티, 교강사와의 다양한 상호작용에 미치는 조절효과가 타 유형보다 큰 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 이러닝의 성과에 있어 품질요소와 학습자특성 간 관계에 실증적 연구성과를 추가하였으며, 추후 이러닝 사용목적, 사용형태, 학습자 특성, 학습전략 등 이러닝의 성과 연구에 있어 타 요인들과의 관련성 연구로 확대할 필요가 있다.
