EBS 관련 연구동향 분석: 1990년부터 2015년까지

Abstract

Purpose: The objective of this research was to provide basic data regarding EBS-related research activities by applying a research trend analysis. Design: 159 research articles (42 professional articles and 117 masters and doctoral dissertations) were selected from the RISS database from the period between 1990 and 2015. The analysis included research objectives, methods, target audiences, related institutions, and the majors’ of the researchers. Results: The findings of this study were varied. First, during the last 14 years, the number of studies broadcast on EBS has increased steadily. In the early 2000s to 2010, the number increased rapidly. Second, in terms of research objectives, most research focused on the instructional application, policy diffusion, program analysis, and understanding the situation of EBS. Third, in terms of methodology, there are significant differences between professional articles and masters and doctoral dissertations. The former mostly utilized holistic discussions, while the latter employed semi-experimental survey research. Forth, the professional articles focused more on inclusive target audiences, while the dissertations focused more on English and mathematics at both the elementary and high school level. Fifth, in terms of researchers, for the professional articles, the major contributors have changed three times; Korean Broadcasting Association (1990-1999), Korean Association of Educational Media and Information (2000-2009), and EBS (2010-2015). It was also discovered that the research methodologies differed depending on the researchers’ majors. For example, semi-experimental research was predominantly conducted by researchers who majored in English, educational methodology, and educational technology; whereas survey studies were conducted by scholars who majored in educational administration.
