Abstract

The previous studies of online entrepreneurship education were conducted only on the effect of education on actual entrepreneurship, but did not analyze the effectiveness of education. In this study, beyond of limits of previous studies, we investigated the effect of social presence on learning expectancy and educational satisfaction. In addition, we examined the influence of learning expectation on the relationship between social presence and educational satisfaction. For the research hypothesis test, we conducted a questionnaires survey on 189 graduate students who taken online courses related to entrepreneurship, hypothesis and questionnaires were made based on the research hypotheses precedent theories. And educational satisfaction was divided into operational satisfaction and content satisfaction. As a results of the analysis using the structural equation model, social presence has a positive effects on learning expectancy. Next, the learning expectancy has a positive effects on the operational satisfaction and the content satisfaction. Finally, when social presence affects operational satisfaction, learning expectation has a complete mediation effects and content satisfaction has a partial mediation effects. The implications of the results of this study were as follows. There was a need for a way to interacted with learners when conducted online entrepreneurial education. When increased the satisfaction level of the learning operation, it is necessary to reduced the burden of learners and raised the expectancy.

기존 온라인 창업 교육 연구에서는 교육이 실제 창업에 미치는 영향에 대해서만 연구가 진행됐을 뿐 교육 효과성에 대한 분석이 이루어지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 선행 연구의 한계점에서 벗어나 사회적 현존감을 이용해 학습 기대감과 교육 만족도에 미치는 영향력을 조사했다. 또한 학습 기대감을 매개 변수로 활용해 사회적 현존감과 교육 만족도 관계에서 어떠한 영향력을 보이는지 살펴보았다. 연구 가설 검증을 위해 전국 189명의 창업 관련 온라인 수업을 들은 대학원생들에게 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 선행 이론에 근거해 가설과 설문문항을 만들었으며, 교육 만족도의 경우 운영 만족도와 콘텐츠 만족도로 구분해 미치는 영향력의 정도를 구분하였다. 구조방정식을 이용한 분석 결과 사회적 현존감은 학습 기대감에 긍정적인 영향을 나타냈다. 다음으로 학습 기대감은 운영 만족도와 콘텐츠 만족도에 긍정적인 영향력을 보였다. 마지막으로 사회적 현존감이 운영 만족도에 영향을 미칠 때 학습 기대감은 완전 매개효과를 보였으며, 콘텐츠 만족도에 영향을 미칠 때는 간접 매개 효과를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과가 주는 시사점은 온라인 창업 교육을 실시할 때 학습자의 상호작용을 활발히 할 수 있는 방법이 필요하고 학습 운영의 만족도를 높일 때는 학습자의 부담감을 줄여 기대감을 높여야지만 효율적으로 작용된다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
