홀리스틱 관점에서 본 협동 의사소통 방향 이해

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to understand communication direction of the cooperative learning applied classes from the holistic standpoint through ethnography method. The research participants were 6-grade 4 male students in Y elementary school located in Seoul. Planned 6-times cooperative learning classes, the 6th class, in which bumping system is working, was primarily observed. To collect data, video captures, participant observation, and in-depth interviews were conducted. The data were analyzed using communication direction analysis. As result, first, communication before the game was mostly made between middle- level students and upper-level students within the observed group. However, lower-level students would not actively join to the communication. This result might be due to the students’ lack of confidence toward the class. Second, after ranking group game, the observed group students were shown as cooperative and cohesive each other toward opposite team’s jeering. The direction of the communication at this moment was multi-direction regardless of performance level, making cooperative atmosphere higher. Third, during the bumping system was being made, middle- level students mostly communicated with upper-level and middle-level students. This means that middle-level students played a leading role in ranking adjustment, and upper and lower-level students were actively cooperative to it.
