This study was conducted to identify the factors affecting the problem solving ability in nursing students. Method: The subjects of this study were 226 nursing students from two universities located in G and C provinces. The collected data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Correlation Coefficient, and Multiple Regression Analysis. Results: As a result of multiple regression analysis, the significant predictors of problem solving ability of nursing students were critical thinking disposition(β=.490, p<.001) and self-directed learning ability(β=.355, p=<.014). Problem solving ability was explained 61.9% of variance in critical thinking disposition and self-directed learning ability. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that self-directed learning ability and critical thinking disposition in nursing students were the influential factor on problem solving ability. Therefore, the results of this study suggest that it is necessary to find ways to improve critical thinking disposition and self-directed learning ability in order to improve problem solving ability of nursing students, and it is considered to be useful as basic data for developing education programs to improve problem solving ability.

This study is mixed design to measure the effects of case-based learning and the Cornell notes-taking system in human anatomy course, the basic course in nursing, on self-directed learning ability, critical thinking dispositon, and teamwork of nursing students. Among those who completed anatomy course, 34 underachieving students were targeted and surveyed before and after classes, and interviewed on case-based learning and Cornell notes-taking system. For quantitative analysis, SPSS/WIN 21.0 was used for frequency analysis, paired t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficients. For qualitative research, content analysis was performed. The results showed significant increases in self-directed learning ability(t=-9.69, p<.001), critical thinking dispositon(t=-7.75, p<.001), and teamwork (t=-12.43, p<.001) in underachieving nursing students. In addition, there was a significant correlation between self-directed learning ability, critical thinking dispositon, and teamwork. In conclusion, case-based and Cornell notes learning methods were effective in helping underachieving students enrolled in human anatomy course. There is a need for continuous research on the use of case-based and Cornell notes in other courses.

학교 도서실은 단지 자료를 축적해 놓은 자료실로서의 역할만을 목적으로 이용하는 곳이 아니라, 학습활동, 독서활동 자료 및 정보제공, 그리고 레크리에이션의 장으로서의 기능을 가지고 있다. 즉 학교의 도서실은 일반 공공도서실과는 다른 학교의 교육목표 달성을 위한 가장 기본적인 교육공간으로 자아학습의 장이다. 지식정보화시대를 맞이하여 자기주도적인 학생중심의 학습을 위한 독서활동과 다양한 자료의 활용이 없이는 불가능하며 학교 도서실을 이용하지 않고서는 그 효과를 기대하기 어렵다. 단지 장서수와 컴퓨터 등의 물리적인 수치가 더 이상 지표가 되어서는 안 되고 학생들의 정서함양 및 인격소양에 도움이 되는 독서공간을 통한 청소년기의 마음의 안정을 제공해 줄 수 있는 진정한 자아학습의 장으로 거듭나야 할 것이다. 본 고에서는 문화관광부의 문화로 아름답고 행복한 학교만들기 사업 가운데 선정된 도서공간의 재구축 사례에 대해 소개하고자 한다.

Digital textbooks enable learning that is appropriate to the characteristics and level of learners through various interactions. The purpose of this study was to develop an instruction model that can more effectively use digital textbooks in elementary science classes and to verify its effectiveness. The results were as follows. The instruction model for helping learners complete their learning by using digital textbooks needs to receive diagnostic assessment and feedback on entry behavior, to build a self-directed learning environment, and to interact with teachers, students, and digital textbooks as scaffolding. In this study, we developed an instruction model using digital textbooks reflecting these characteristic. The instructional model consists of preparation, practice and solidity step. In the preparation step, the learner performs a diagnostic evaluation using digital textbooks. Based on the results, feedback provided at each level can complement the entry behavior and maintain interest in learning activities. In the practice step, self-directed learning is implemented using diverse functions of digital textbooks and various types of data. In the solidity step, learners can internalize the learning contents by reviewing video clips which are provided by teachers, performing problem-solving activities, and accessing outcomes accumulated by learners in the community online. In order to verify the effectiveness of this model, we selected the "Weather and our Life" unit. This experiment was conducted using 101 students in the 5th grade in B Elementary School in Gwangju Metropolitan City. In the experimental group, 50 students learned using a smart device that embodies digital textbooks applied with the instruction model. In the comparative group, 51 students were taught using the paper textbooks. The results were as follows. First, there was a significant effect on the improvement of the learning achievement in the experimental group with low academic ability compared with the comparative group with low academic ability. Second, there was a significant effect on self-directed learning attitude in the experimental group. Third, in the experimental group, the number of interactions with the learner, teacher, and digital textbook was higher than the comparative group. In conclusion, the digital textbooks based on the instruction model in elementary science classes developed in this study helped to improve learners' learning achievement and self-directed learning attitudes.
