Abstract

This study is a qualitative study to grasp the meaning of the effective role of tutors of college students experiencing problem-based learning through focus group interviews. The subjects of this study were 4th grade students in the Department of Nursing who had experienced PBL, and a total of 21 people were divided into 3 groups and interviewed. Data were analyzed in content to find meaningful topics. The results of this study were analyzed into two subjects and eight categories. Based on the research results, if we summarize the role of effective tutors recognized by students in PBL. 1) Create a permissive atmosphere so that students can express their ideas freely and interact. 2) Give praise and encouragement. 3) Encourage all learners to participate. In particular, learners with low participation should be asked questions to promote active discussion. 4) Avoid unnecessary intervention and participate in the discussion together. 5) Adjust the learning speed and manage the time well. 6) Develop a scenario that meets the goals. 7) Classes are run around questions that can promote learners' thinking. 8) It plays a role of helping to form knowledge by providing positive feedback to learners' responses.

본 연구는 포커스 그룹 인터뷰를 통해 문제중심학습을 경험하고 있는 대학생들의 효과적인 튜터의 역할에 대한 의미를 파악하기 위한 질적 연구이다. 연구대상자는 PBL을 경험한 적이 있는 간호학과 4학년 학생이며, 총 21명을 3개의 그룹으로 나누어 인터뷰를 진행하였다. 자료는 의미 있는 주제를 찾기 위해 내용분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구결과 2개의 주제(동기적 측면과 지식적 측면)와 허용적 분위기 형성, 상호작용촉진을 위한 격려, 학생들의 고른 참여 유도, 동료 참여자, 학습속도 조절, 학습목표에 부합하는 시나리오 및 문제 개발, 학습과정의 진행에 대한 길잡이, 피드백을 통한 지식확장 등의 8개 범주로 분석되었다. 연구결과를 토대로 문제중심학습에서 학생들이 인식하는 효과적인 튜터의 역할을 정리하면, 첫째는 학생들이 생각을 자유롭게 펼치고, 상호작용을 할 수 있도록, 허용적인 분위기를 조성한다. 둘째는 칭찬과 격려를 아끼지 않는다. 셋째는 모든 학습자가 참여하도록 한다. 특히 참여가 저조한 학습자에게는 질문을 하여 적극적인 토의를 촉진시켜야 한다. 넷째는 불필요한 개입은 피하며 토론에 함께 참여한다. 다섯째는 학습속도를 조절하며, 시간을 잘 관리하여야 한다. 여섯째는 목표에 부합하는 시나리오를 개발하며, 일곱째는 학습자의 사고를 촉진할 수 있는 질문을 중심으로 수업을 운영하고, 여덟째는 학습자의 응답에 긍정적인 피드백을 제공하여 지식을 형성할 수 있도록 도와주는 역할을 수행하게 된다.
