Analysis of the Effectiveness of SOFTWARE LIBERAL EDUCATION in a Non-Face-To-Face Environment

Abstract

Purpose: Based on the previous studies, in this study, and in order to confirm the effect of the university s software liberal education in a contactless environment, as for the specific factors influencing the satisfaction of learning and academic achievement, the quality of classroom instruction, motivation for learning, convenience of time, and the immersion for learning were derived as the major factors according to the details of classroom instruction and learning contents. In this study, it is intended to examine the effectiveness of the university s basic software education in a contactless environment via the relationship between such factors and their influence on the satisfaction of learning and academic achievement. Method: In order to validate the effect of the university s basic software education in a contactless environment, this study has analyzed the differences between the subjects general characteristics, quality of classroom instruction, motivation for learning, convenience of time, immersion for learning, satisfaction of learning, and academic achievement by using the descriptive statistics of error, percentage, mean and standard deviation. The correlation of the quality of classroom instruction, motivation for learning, convenience of time, immersion for learning, satisfaction of learning, and academic achievement was analyzed by the Pearson s correlation, and the effect of each factor on the satisfaction of learning and academic achievement was analyzed by performing the multiple regression. Results: It was evaluated that the satisfaction of learning enhanced as the quality of classroom instruction improved and the immersion for learning worked well. It was also evaluated that, as the high quality details of classroom instruction and learning contents were provided, and the higher the motivation for learning, the higher the academic achievement, and the higher the convenience of time, the lower the academic achievement. Even in a contactless environment, the quality of classroom instruction is very important, and it may be said that it is the variable which has the largest influence on the effectiveness of the classroom instruction. Conclusion: It was confirmed that it has had a positive effect on the students satisfaction of learning and academic achievement by causing high quality classroom instruction, motivation for learning, and active immersion for learning in a contactless environment. Based on such results of this study, it is expected that assistance may be provided for developing and promoting various online education programs.
