한국대학(韓國大學)에서 Keller plan 적용가능성(適用可能性) 에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Keller Plan model on College student``s academic achievement, stimulating student motivation and monitor attitude toward the Keller Plan. The subject of this study was a total of 70 college students in general education courses in Chungnam National University which consisted of 35 student s of experimental group and 35 student s of control group. The research design was non-eqivalent-control group design due to the fact that the experment was conductedunder the condition of natural academic calendar year. The keller Plan model was implemented to the experimental group while the lecture method to the contral group for 28 hour s (2hr``s/W)each group. The study guide of Keller Plan program developed by invesitiator was based on the introductory German course text book for general education. The experiment classroom the was ditributed by initial 10 minutes lecture and follewing 40 minutes in dividual learning activities as study guide indicate. During the individual study period, the students were grouped into 3 or 4 student s of small group. The student proctor of each small group was not specified but a high achieving student acted as a group leader. Instrument used to determine the effetieveness was developed by the investigators for mid-term and final examination, and questionn air not validated by external authorities. Test items of mid - term and final exams were constructed based on the in structional objecteves. The result s of this study were as follow s: The first, the difference in academic achievement between two groups was not apparent. Although statistically no score diference was found, diference between two groups appeared to be from 8.26 at the pretest to 6.20 at posttest in which the score of control group was increased at 2.06 at posttest compared to the score of Keller Plan group. The second, the difference in withdrow rate and absent rate between two groups were found in which the withdraw rate and absent rate of Keller Plan students were lower than the control group. Therefore, the student s of experiment al group has more activety participated in the class activties than the control group did. The third, attitude toward the Keller Plan model appeared to be positive than traditional lecture methed reflected by Keller Plan students. This study concluded that Keller Plan model can be applicable to the Korean university students and would be effective. The reason s that difference in academic achievement between two groups can be explained as follws : Firstly, both instructor and students have not accustomed to the Keller Plan while they have rather accustomed to tradition al lecture method. Secondly, programs developed by Keller Plan in this study might not have been appropriate because the effectiveness of foreign languge was not apparent. The results of previous study showed that the degree of academic acheievement by Keller Plan appeared to be higher in such content areas as mathematics, engneering and psychology, No research result with language and foreign language course was found. Most of Effectiveness studies were reported in the content areas such as physics, biology, math, engineering, psychology and social science course. Thirdly, treatment and measuring instrument used in this study might not have been appropriate because instruct or and researcher might not be familar and accustomed to the Keller Plan in using student proctor s and self - pacing approach. No standardized measuring in strument for the German language was not found in Korea. This study should have used the standardized German language test developed by in stitutions such as ET S and others. Lastly, the further study should be recommended to validate this result.
