Abstract

It is necessary for an instructor to understand the student's team building behavior for an effective guidance of team activities. In this study, we developed an agent-based computational model for simulating the student's self-controlled behavior. We validated the model by comparing the actual behavior. Through the simulation, we found that the time to stabilization of team formation and the ratio of the students having no team are decreasing as the population of the student increases. However, we also found that over a certain amount of population, the time and the ratio do not show much progress in the difference. The simulation also shows that the more heterogeneity between the students the higher chance of delaying the team formation and increasing the ratio. We expect to use the model as a tool for guiding and supporting students' team activities.

교수자가 학생들의 자율적인 팀 결성의 행동적 특성을 파악하는 것은 교과에서 팀 활동을 효과적으로 지도하기 위해 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 에이전트 기반의 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 학생들의 팀 결성 행동 특성을 모사할 수 있는 컴퓨터 모형을 개발하였다. 실험을 통한 검증 결과 개발된 모형은 실제 학생들의 행동적 특성을 모사할 수 있음이 관찰되었다. 학생의 수와 팀원을 찾는 탐색의 범위가 클수록 팀의 결성이 안정화되기까지의 시간이 줄어들며 팀원을 찾지 못한 학생의 비율 또한 줄어들지만 어느 한계를 넘어서면 시간과 비율에 있어 큰 차이가 없음을 발견하였다. 또한 융 복합 교과 등에서 구성원 간의 이질성이 증가한다면 팀 구성 시간과 팀원을 찾지 못한 학생의 비율이 급격히 증가하므로 경우에 따라 교수자가 학생들의 팀 구성에 적절하게 개입하는 것이 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 개발된 모형을 통해 모의실험 함으로써 학생들의 팀 결성의 성격과 구조를 진단하고 분석할 수 있으므로 개발된 모형은 학생들의 팀 활동을 지원하는 도구로 유용하리라 기대한다.
