Abstract

This experimental study was to examine the impact of collaborative learning in a virtual environment on students' learning outcomes and satisfaction. The collaborative virtual learning environment was created for a Korean history class for high school students. A total of 119 participants were recruited and were randomly assigned to either "collaborative group" or an "individual group." Students' academic achievements and satisfaction were collected as measurement tools to examine the effect of collaborative learning in the virtual learning environment and collected data were tested by independent sample t. The results showed that participation in collaborative groups had a significant positive effect on academic achievement and satisfaction than individual groups.

본 연구는 가상 환경에서의 협력 학습에의 참여가 학생들의 학업 성취도와 만족도에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 하였다. 세컨드라이프라는 가상현실 플랫폼에 고등학생이 국사 과목을 학습할 수 있는 공간을 만들고 이를 활용하였다. 총 119명의 참가자를 '협력학습 유형'이나 '개인학습 유형'에 무선 할당하였으며, 학생들의 학업 성취도와 만족도를 측정 도구로 수집하였다. 가상공간에서의 협력학습의 효과를 검토하려 독립표본 t검증 및 대응표본 t검증을 실행하였고, 연구의 결과는 개인학습 유형에 참여한 경우보다 협력학습 유형에 참여한 경우가 학업성취도와 만족도에 유의미하게 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 향후 가상현실을 기반으로 한 협력학습의 활용에 대한 제언이 논의되었다.
