시각디자인 전공 학생들을 위한 문제중심학습(PBL) 수업 개발 및 운영 효과 분석

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to design a problem-based learning course for students majoring in visual design and analyze the effectiveness of the course format as well as derive improvement plans. Problem-based learning can motivate learners and enhance self-directed learning skills and problem solving skills, so it can foster creative individuals with practical skills equipped with the ability to adapt to industrial sites. However, there has been inadequate research about the learning course model that applies problem-based learning in the industrial-educational courses for the Department of Visual Design. Accordingly, web design courses of the Department of Visual Design in Chungchong region, South Korea were redesigned into problem-based learning courses and the experiment results that targeted on 37 students of S university were suggested. The following are the research results. First of all, the problem-based learning teaching-learning model was applied to construct a module that collaborated to solve the problems of the local businesses and team formation and course format, strategies, and assessment methods were designed. Throughout 15 weeks of the course, it was operated so that the 2 problem-based learning module related problems could be solved. Second, pre-post experiments were executed on the students that joined the course as well as the operation effects. The experiment result showed that there was a significant increase in performance assessment amongst the 5 sub-factors. It was displayed that it did not cause a particular influence on the enhancement of team learning efficacy and the overall course satisfaction was high as it resulted as 4.03. Based on the research result, a suggestion was made to bring improvements in the course. First, as the program improvement measure, learners suggested improvements as they claimed complaints about their teams and the burden of having to create documents including task execution plans. Second, learners initiated the opinion that it was difficult for them to encourage the representatives of firms to participate in forms of providing their opinions and evaluation forms during the process of executing web design projects of the local enterprises. For course formation, a suggestion was made about the need to search for measures that can be applied for practical support while connecting with industries.
