교양영어 수업에서 Padlet 활용에 대한 학생들의 학업성취도와 수업동기에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of online discussion board and padlet use on academic achievement and learning motivation of college students. The participants of this study were a total of 144 first-year college students taking college English classes. For the study, pre- and post-tests were conducted and questionnaires were analyzed. As a result, the use of Padlet had an effect on students' academic achievement. In addition, positive responses were shown in both individual and team learning motivation. Also, it was found that the students’ learning comprehension was high. However, it showed somewhat negative results in lowering students' stress and enhancing learning immersion and self-directed learning. As a suggestion based on the results of this study, first, the use of online discussion boards can be an alternative as a way to improve the lack of communication between instructors and learners. Students should be encouraged to participate actively by developing various class activities. Second, special attention should be paid to openness according to students' characteristics. Finally, in order to develop students themselves into autonomous learners, a new class model should be developed.
