뇌 기반 학습의 국내 연구 동향 분석

Abstract

Objectives The study aims to analyze the trends of research in brain-based learning in the domestic context and to provide implications for future research tasks and direction.
 Methods 97 papers with the keywords “brain education” and “brain learning” published in education journals listed in the Korean Citation Index (KCI) journals from 2003 to April 2023 were collected. Among them, 66 papers that were appropriate for the research purpose were selected as the final analysis target. The analysis criteria were research year, research purpose and content, research method and data collection method, and research subject. Content analysis was conducted.
 Results First, the results of the study showed that research on brain-based learning has been actively studied since the mid-2010s. Second, the results of the study showed that the highest proportion of research on brain- based learning (43.9%) was related to understanding. Third, the trends in research methods showed that qual-itative research methods (47.0%) and quantitative research methods (43.9%) were used in similar proportions, and mixed research methods were used in the lowest proportion of 6 (9.1%). The most common data collection method was documents with 28 (42.4%). Finally, in terms of research trends by research subject, there were many studies on infants and young children, and adult teachers also had a lot of research on infant teachers.
 Conclusions This study suggests that detailed policy support and educational discussions are needed to promote the activation of brain-based learning research. Furthermore, future research should involve the active use of ad-vanced devices such as EEG or fMRI to directly validate the brain's learning processes, moving beyond the evalua-tion of program effectiveness.
