토픽모델링을 활용한 개별 맞춤형 학습에 관한 연구동향

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the trends in personalized & customized learning that considers learner-centered education, individual learner’s needs, learning styles and examines the similarities and differences between primary and secondary education and university level. Using topic modeling, 732 abstracts published in KCI and other journals until June 2023 were analyzed, resulting in six topics: “institutional aspects of school curriculum”, “factors related to ability and level-based instruction”, “digital systems and content”, “learner and instructional design for diverse groups”, “societal demands for desired qualities and competencies”, and “development and initiatives for improving/integrating teaching (learning difficulties, disabilities, inclusive classrooms)”. Depending on the volume of research, the time periods were divided into three cycles with research on topic 1, “institutional aspects of school curriculum”, and topic 5, “competencies required by society”, showing an increasing trend. Special education and educational studies were the main focus of research, with keywords related to learning difficulties and special education in primary and secondary levels, and competency-based education at the university level. Commonly, research related to personalized learning using digital systems and content was conducted in a similar volume. This study compared and analyzed macroscopic and microscopic aspects by reflecting the application of learner-centered curriculum at the time when educational policies were implemented. The study provides suggestions for addressing obstacles, issues, and further research in individualized personalized learning.
