대학생의 자기이해도 집단 유형에 관한 연구

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to classify latent groups of self-understanding among college students who participated in a PBL class using latent profile analysis (LPA) and to explore the factors that affect this classification.
 Methods To achieve these objectives, we collected samples from the ‘5th year KEEP II: Korea Education & Employment Panel II’. The variables selected to investigate the factors influencing the classification were ‘PBL class satisfaction’, ‘major satisfaction’, ‘campus life satisfaction’, and ‘life satisfaction and freedom’.
 Results The results of this study are as follows: First, self-understanding types were classified into three categories: ‘low level’, ‘middle level’, and ‘high level’. Second, significant differences were found in ‘PBL class satisfaction’, ‘major satisfaction’, ‘campus life satisfaction’, and ‘life satisfaction and freedom’. The ‘high level’ group showed the highest levels in all factors. The ‘middle level’ group demonstrated overall levels above average but relatively lower levels of ‘goal execution’. Finally, the ‘low level’ group exhibited low levels in all measured variables, particularly in factors related to decision-making.
 Conclusions This study is significant in that it examines the characteristics of learners with high and low levels of self-understanding, specifically focusing on those who experienced a specific class type, PBL. Therefore, we suggest that instructors should identify and implement teaching strategies and learning activities that promote self-understanding and enhance the effectiveness of PBL.
