Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine elementary school teachers' perceptions of digital textbooks to gain insight into the development of digital textbooks. To this end, first, eight functions of the digital textbook were set, and two to six detailed functions were set for each function. Afterwards, based on this function, 372 elementary school teachers across the country were asked to ask about their perception of digital competence, their experience of using digital textbooks after COVIE-19 and their perception of digital textbooks. A simple regression analysis was used to examine the perception of digital textbooks according to the perception of digital competence and a one-way distribution analysis method was used to analyze the perception of digital textbooks according to the experience of using digital textbooks. The analysis found that elementary school teachers' confidence in their digital competence had a positive effect on all components of digital textbooks. In particular, the teachers' higher confidence in digital competence led to the increased need for 'operation and management' functions. In addition, the teachers who frequently use digital textbooks perceived a higher need for digital textbook components except for 'searching' and 'Authoring Tools Support' than teachers who do not use them. This paper shows that it is necessary to positively induce elementary school teachers' perceptions of digital competence and encourage using digital textbooks to successfully increase the usage of digital textbooks in classes.

이 연구는 디지털 교과서 개발에의 시사점을 도출하기 위해 초등 교사의 디지털 교과서에 대한 인식을 살펴보는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 먼저, 디지털 교과서의 기능을 8가지로 설정하고 각 기능마다 2개~6개의 세부기능을 설정하였다. 이후 이 기능을 기준으로 전국의 초등 교사 372명에게 디지털 역량에 대한 인식, 코로나19 이후 디지털 교과서 활용 경험, 디지털 교과서에 대한 인식을 묻는 설문을 실시하였다. 디지털 역량 인식에 따른디지털 교과서에 대한 인식을 살펴보기 위해 단순회귀분석을, 디지털 교과서 활용 경험에 따른 디지털 교과서에대한 인식을 분석하기 위해 일원배치 분산분석의 방법을 활용하였다. 분석 결과, 초등 교사의 디지털 역량에대한 인식은 디지털 교과서의 모든 기능에 대한 필요성을 인식하는 데 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 디지털 역량이 필요하고 중요하다고 인식할수록 디지털 교과서의 '운영 및 관리 기능'에 대한 필요성을 높게 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 디지털 교과서를 자주 사용하는 교사들이 그렇지 않은 교사보다 '검색'과 '저작 도구 제공' 기능을 제외한 디지털 교과서의 기능에 대한 필요성을 높게 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 현장 친화적인 디지털 교과서를 성공적으로 개발하기 위해 초등 교사의 디지털 역량에 대한 긍정적인 인식 제고와 디지털 교과서 사용 경험의 확대를 지원할 필요가 있음을 시사한다.
