Abstract

The present research intends to examine how college students' self-determination affects their beliefs in and achievement in foreign language learning in the current pandemic times. The data under discussion was collected from a survey questionnaire conducted to a group of 107 students attending at a four-year university in Cheonan. With the software SPSS Version 21.0, a set of statistical methods were employed: (i) descriptive statistics along with (ii) correlation analysis and (iii) regression analysis. The current analysis identified a positive correlation between their self-determination and both beliefs Foreign Langage Learning and Learning Outcomes, which means that the former exerts a significant impact on the latter. The results are expected to help educators arrange strategic plans that can enhance collegians' self-determination for their better performance of foreign language learning.

본 연구는 팬데믹 시대의 온라인 대학교육에서 대학생의 자기결정성이 외국어 학습신념과 학습 성과에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구대상으로는 천안소재 대학교의 재학생을 대상으로 107명에 대하여 설문조사를 실시하였으며 분석방법으로는 SPSS 21.0을 활용하여 기술통계량, 상관분석 및 회귀분석을 통해 최종분석을 하였다. 본 연구결과는 대학생의 자기결성성과 외국어 학습신념 및 학습 성과는 정적 상관관계로 나타났으며 자기결정성 또한 외국어 학습신념과 학습 성과에 유의미한 영향을 미친다고 나타났다. 본 연구를 통하여 온라인 교육을 통한 교수자와의 상호작용이 어려운 상황에서 대학생들의 자기결정성의 촉진할 수 있는 방법과 전략을 모색하여 지속적으로 의지가 필요한 외국어 능력과 학습 성과를 향상시킬 수 있도록 조력하고자 한다.
