Abstract

The purpose of the study is to promote the expansion of educational environment and students' competence through the application of smart learning. In G University in 2017, 118 freshmen in the department of Chemical-bio engineering who were taking Calculus I class were divided into 2 groups of experimental and control group. The study analyzed the effect of the various learning experience using educational technology and the interaction in the class through SNS on students' visual understanding and academic achievement. The result shows that the students' academic achievement and satisfaction in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group. This verifies the potential of smart learning in the field of mathematics in the tertiary level and suggests strategies for high quality smart learning.

본 연구의 목적은 고등 수학교육에 있어서 스마트 러닝의 특징적 적용을 통해 교육환경의 확장과 학습자 역량의 확장을 시도하고 그 효과성을 분석하는 것이다. 본 연구는 2017년 G대학에서 1학년 학생들의 공학인증 과목 중 하나인 미적분학I을 수강하는 화공생명학과 학생들 118명을 실험집단과 비교집단으로 분리하여 스마트러닝의 효과성을 검증하였다. 즉 수업에서 공학도구를 활용한 다양한 학습활동과 SNS를 통한 교수자와 학습자 간의 활발한 상호작용이 시각적 이해와 수학적 개념형성, 그리고 학습성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 실험집단에서 긍정적인 학업성취를 보였으며 학습자들의 만족도가 높았다. 본 연구는 고등 수학교육에서 스마트러닝의 가능성을 확인하였으며 향후 질 높은 스마트러닝을 실현하기 위한 전략을 제안한다.
