협동학습으로서 그룹퍼즐을 활용한 사고와 표현 수업 사례연구 －고려대학교 <사고와 표현II>수업을 중심으로－

Abstract

The objective of this research is to offer cooperative learning and group puzzles, a representative education model of cooperative learning, as a means of actively structuralizing a learner-based instructional method for creative and convergence education in liberal education. It also analyzes the case study in which it was applied to the <Thinking and Expression 2> class of Korea university. For this goal, this research focused on the concept of ‘Gruppenpuzzle,’ a newly coined term for Jigsaw from Germany which is an American model for cooperative education. In the German educational environment, the word ‘Gruppenpuzzle’ is used instead of the American term to help the students familiarize to the educational processes easier. Therefore, this study explores the German literature instead of American one in order to analyze the theoretical background and educational efforts of cooperative learning. This not only provides an opportunity to look closely at the development process of cooperative learning in Germany during the similar period of that in Korea but also contributes to expanding the basis for domestic research on cooperative learning. Ultimately, group puzzles can help build creative and convergence-based thinking in learners by enabling them to experience deep and rich thinking through cooperation with other learners, rather than to passively accept information and knowledge. Such learning methods are also valuable as an instructional method to train social skills to coexist with others in this fast-changing society. Above all, the case study on the <Thinking and Expression II> class of Korea university which applies group puzzles demonstrates a positive result in which group puzzles change the students’ attitude from negative to positive, boost motivation for learning by assigning responsibility and effectively forming a process-valued class based on presentation and writing. Key Words: liberal education, cooperative learning, learner-based, group puzzles(Gruppenpuzzel), positive reliability, responsibility, thinking and expression, 5-finger feedback
