Abstract

In this study, we analyzed the effects of program participation aimed at enhancing self-directed learning abilities in university students on the motivational, cognitive, and behavioral aspects of self-directed learning. The study included 2,302 students enrolled in a university located in Region D, and data collection took place from March 2 to December 31, 2022. Comparing the experimental group(751 students) who participated in the program for self-directed learning improvement with the control group(1551 students), the experimental group exhibited a 0.24-point increase, whereas the control group showed a 0.08-point increase, demonstrating a significant difference between the two groups(t=34.89, p<.001). Furthermore, in the post-hoc analysis of self-directed learning ability scores based on the frequency of program participation, the mean difference between those who participated in 1 to 3 programs and those engaged in 4 to 6 programs was 0.067 points(p<.001). The mean difference between participants in 4 to 6 programs and those in 7 or more programs was -0.135 points(p<.001), and the mean difference between those involved in 1 to 3 programs and those in 7 or more programs was 0.067 points(p<.001). These results underscore the importance of recognizing self-directed learning abilities as a crucial competency in higher education and emphasize the significance of efforts to promote program participation and increase participation frequency.

본 연구에서는 대학생의 자기주도학습 능력 향상을 위한 프로그램 참여가 자기주도학습능력의 동기, 인지, 행동 영역에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 연구 대상은 D지역 소재, 대학교 재학생 2,302명으로, 데이터 수집은 2022년 3월 2일부터 12월 31일까지 이루어졌다. 자기주도학습능력 향상을 위한 프로그램에 참여한 실험군(751명)과 참여하지 않은 대조군(1551명)을 비교한 결과, 실험군은 0.24점 증가하였고, 대조군은 0.08점 증가하여 두 그룹 간에 유의한 차이(t=34.89, p<.001)를 나타냈다. 프로그램 참여 횟수에 따른 자기주도학습 능력 점수의 사후 비교분석에서, 프로그램 참가 1회~3회와 4회~6회는 0.067점 차이(p<.001), 4회~6회와 7회 이상은 -0.135점 차이(p<.001), 1회~3회와 7회 이상은 0.067점 차이(p<.001)로 유의하게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 자기주도학습능력은 대학 교육에서 중요한 역량으로 인식되며, 프로그램참여를 촉진하고 참여 횟수를 높이는 노력이 중요하다.
