Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine whether the entrepreneurship education through team learning positively influences the effectiveness of team learning and the satisfaction of entrepreneurship curriculum. To do this, we analyzed the questionnaire data of 149 students who took the entrepreneurship course that was conducted by the team learning method focused on problem solving task among the entrepreneurship courses opened in the venture autonomous major. First, we examined the effect of team learning effectiveness and entrepreneurial education satisfaction on the effectiveness of the team learning by individual's intention for startup, diversity of team members, and supporting activities of assistants as independent variables. For this, hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to examine whether independent variables influenced the effectiveness of team learning, and whether the effectiveness of team learning mediates between these independent variables and entrepreneurial education satisfaction. The results of this study support the hypothesis that supporting activities of assistants will influence team learning effectiveness. However, the hypothesis that individual's intention for startup or team diversity influences team learning effectiveness was rejected. On the other hand, the results of the regression analysis show that individual's intention for startup has a significant effect on the satisfaction of entrepreneurship education. In addition, the effectiveness of team learning was found to be influential on the educational satisfaction, and it was verified that the effectiveness of team learning was mediating between the supporting activities of assistants and the satisfaction of entrepreneurship education. Especially, as a result of the hierarchical regression analysis, it was found that the significance of the supporting activities of assistants decreased remarkably. This suggests that the mediating path that affects the satisfaction of entrepreneurship education is very meaningful through the effectiveness of the team learning although the supporting activities of assistants are partially mediated. As a result of this study, it was found that the supporting activities of assistants are important in the team learning entrepreneurship education and it is also confirmed that the individual's intention for startup is also important. Especially, supporting activities of assistants were found to be an important factor affecting the satisfaction of entrepreneurship education through the effectiveness of team learning. Therefore, I think that it is essential to designing a practical education course that meets individual's intention for startup in the entrepreneurship education of university students and networking with the participation of internal and external experts or entrepreneurs. In addition, I think that it is necessary to think more thoughtfulness about the composition of team members in the team learning, and to provide more meticulous support to the effectiveness of the team learning.

본 연구의 목적은 팀 학습을 통한 창업교육이 팀 학습의 유효성 및 창업교육 만족도에 긍정적인 영향이 있는지 살펴보는 것이었다. 이를 위하여 2017년 1학기 국내 K대학의 벤처창업 자율전공에 개설된 창업교과목 중에서 문제해결 과제중심의 팀 학습 방식으로 진행된 창업 교과목을 수강한 학생 149명의 설문 데이터를 분석하였다. 먼저 팀 학습의 유효성에 영향을 주는 요인으로 개인의 창업의지, 팀 구성원의 다양성, 조력자의 지원활동을 독립변수로 설정하여 팀 학습 유효성 및 창업교육 만족도 간의 영향 및 매개효과를 검증하였다. 이를 위하여 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였으며 이를 통하여 독립변수 각각이 팀 학습의 유효성에 영향을 주는지 검증하였고 아울러 팀 학습의 유효성이 이러한 독립변수와 교육 만족도 사이에서 매개작용을 하는지 검토하였다. 연구결과 조력자의 지원활동이 팀 학습 유효성에 영향을 줄 것이라는 가설이 지지되었다. 하지만 개인의 창업의지 또는 팀 다양성이 팀 학습 유효성에 영향을 줄 것이라는 가설은 기각되었다. 반면 회귀분석 결과를 통하여 창업의지가 창업교육 만족도에 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타나서 선행연구들과 마찬가지로 창업의지의 중요성을 다시 한번 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 팀 학습의 유효성이 교육 만족도에 영향을 줄 것이라는 가설이 지지되어 팀 학습 유효성이 조력자의 지원활동과 창업교육 만족도 사이에서 매개작용을 하고 있음을 검증하였다. 특히 위계적 회귀분석의 결과로 조력자 지원활동의 유의도가 현저히 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 이는 조력자의 지원활동이 부분매개작용을 하고는 있지만 팀 학습 유효성을 경유하여 창업교육 만족도에 영향을 주는 매개경로가 매우 유의미함을 설명하고 있는 부분이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과로 팀 학습 창업교육에 있어서 조력자의 지원활동이 중요함을 알 수 있었으며 아울러 개인의 창업의지 역시 중요함을 확인하였다. 특히 조력자의 지원활동은 팀 학습 유효성을 매개로 창업교육의 만족도에 영향을 주는 중요한 변임임을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 대학생의 창업교육에 있어서 개인의 창업의지에 부합하는 실무형 교육과정의 운영과 함께 내 외부 전문가 또는 기업가의 교육 참여와 네트워킹을 형성하는 것이 반드시 필요할 것이라고 생각된다. 또한 팀 학습에 있어서 팀원의 구성에 대하여 좀 더 숙고하여 편성하고, 조력자는 팀 학습의 유효성을 높일 수 있도록 적극적인 지원활동 및 구성원의 다양성을 고려한 세심한 지도가 동시에 필요할 것이라고 사료된다.
