블렌디드 러닝(Blended Learning)을 적용한 시사 한국어 수업 사례 연구 －플립러닝과 PBL의 절충교수법을 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to help students improve their current Korean abilities by applying blended learning--an eclectic teaching method combining flipped learning for online lectures, and PBL for offline lectures. This lesson plan consists of online lessons dealing with current affairs taking place outside the classroom based on flipped learning, as well as PBL-based classroom lessons involving collaborative activities focusing on the solving of a certain issue, and then delivering a presentation regarding the current affair. Learners experienced the following effects from these lessons: first, by quickly adapting to the changing learning environments and the methods used therein, the students were able to improve their level of learning thanks to new teaching methods. In this rapidly changing society driven by the arrival of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, quick and sensitive reactions to new learning methods such as ‘blended learning’ will not only satisfy our learners' needs, but hopefully motivate them to continue on with their studies. secondly, these lessons enabled self-directed learning through prior learning called ‘flipped learning’ in their current affair classes. In these sorts of classes it is important to figure out the flow of the situational context (I don’t quite understand the meaning here) in the society across professional and academic fields. By helping our students to do so, we can increase their problem-solving abilities at the main lesson stage in the classroom, and further enhance their level of expertise which will be needed for academic-purpose learning, along with their abilities of learning in their chosen majors; and finally, the present study developed a lesson model and proposed actual lessons at each stage of the flipped learning and PBL processes. This model was based on blended learning as it pertains to combining different learning methods. Moreover, we proposed detailed alternatives to the current Korean teaching and learning curriculum.
