This study is aimed at investigating the effects of flipped learning on self-directed learning attitude in the college setting. For the aim, this study tried to see if there are meaningful changes in learners’ self-directed learning attitude over time. With the research aim in mind, an elective university class of 47 students was observed for 15 weeks. A survey questionnaire was developed from Guglielmino(1977)’s characteristics of self-directed learning attitude, and four characteristics were finally used for this study: Openness, self-directedness, responsibility, and passion for learning. The questionnaire was administered twice in the 5th and 14th weeks, followed by in-depth interviews with 9 participants. A non-parametric test for repeated t-test, Wilcoxon matched pairs signed rank test was used for data analysis. The research findings are as follows. First, the results of the questionnaire indicated that there were statistically meaningful changes in all 4 characteristics of learners’ self-directed learning attitude before and after flipped learning. Second, the analysis of in-depth interviews revealed that students felt positive about their flipped learning since it provided them with great opportunities to develop and strengthen their self-directed learning attitude. Implications and suggestions for further research are provided.

The purpose of this study is to explore changes in university students’ self-directed learning attitude through the implementation of self-assessment in a classroom setting. The current study adopted Guglielmino’s (1977) characteristics to investigate changes in students’ self-directed learning attitude over time: self-directedness, responsibility, creativity, and problem-solving. A class of 24 students enrolled in Current English Practice was observed for 15 weeks, where four self-assessment sessions were administered. After mid-term exam, a questionnaire was conducted to find out whether self-assessment helped students with their self-directed learning attitude. Additionally, in-depth interviews were conducted with four students of a group regarding possible changes in self-directed learning attitude through self-assessment in the course of time. The findings are as follows. First, the results of the survey indicated that students felt positive changes in those four characteristics of self-directed learning attitude by the implementation of self-assessment in the classroom. Second, the analysis of in-depth interviews supported the findings of the questionnaire that self-assessment provided students with opportunities to strengthen their self-directed learning attitude. However, there is a research limitation that the impact of self-assessment cannot be singled out because of the flipped learning method in class.

이 연구의 목적은 코티칭을 활용한 천문 STEAM 프로그램이 자기주도적 학습 태도에 미치는 효과를 확인해 보는 것이었다. 이를 위해 천문 STEAM 프로그램을 개발하여 초등과학 영재학생들에게 적용하였다. 초등과학 영재학생들 5-6학년 36명 중 실험집단은 16명, 비교집단은 20명의 학생을 대상으로 하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 코티칭을 활용한 천문 STEAM 프로그램은 자기주도적 학습 태도 향상에 효과적이었다. 둘째, 이 프로그램은 학습기회의 개방성 영역과 문제 해결 기술 영역의 향상에 보다 효과적이었다. 셋째, 학생들은 코티칭이 많은 피드백과 깊이 있는 설명을 제공하는 것에 만족했고, 교사들은 코티칭이 STEAM 수업에서의 전문지식 부족과 평가 및 수업자료준비의 어려움을 해결하는데 도움을 준다고 하였다. 이 연구 결과를 토대로 STEAM 수업에서 자기주도적 학습 태도를 향상시키기 위한 방법으로서의 코티칭에 대한 시사점을 논의했다.
