Abstract:

This paper suggests efficient learning improvement method of computer use instruction based on flipped learning. Traditional computer use classes were difficult to practice and collaborative with sufficient lectures. However, we used KOCW (Korea Open Courseware) as a footstep in the class using the flipped learning method and learned in advance before entering the classroom. In the classroom, we conducted collaborative hands on class based on mutual discussion. After the instruction, we measured learning motivation and satisfaction by gender, grade, and major using the motivation test tool. The results showed that degree of attention awareness, perception of class relevance and perception of learning satisfaction were analyzed as 'very satisfied' and 'satisfied' more than 90%.

The flip-learning-based instructional model proposed in this paper is composed of ‘Before class’, ‘In class’, and ‘After class’. Because students participate in classes by watching class-related videos beforehand in class, students should concentrate on hands-on lessons during class and spend lots of time in practical exercises due to the nature of computer use classes.

This study was conducted for college students. The learning motivation test tool used in this study was developed by Keller(1993). The questionnaires were composed of 20 items, 5 items of attention, 4 items of relatedness, 5 items of self-confidence, and 6 items of satisfaction. Analyzed the result of learning motivation test by each major. As a result, the degree of attention of students of natural science majors was rated as 4.4 points and the learning satisfaction as 4.1 points.

The t-test was used as a measuring tool. The level of awareness about attention motivation in learners' motivation was very high (4.185 points). If you look at the average by item “I was able to concentrate on computer use during one semester. (4.407 points)”, “The professor focuses on us when we explain something important. (4.481 points)”, “I have a lot of interest in questions or problems in using computer skills in class. (3.630 points)”, “The professor efficiently conducts the contents of the training. (4.407 points)”, “Learning computer-based instruction through KOCW (free university online lecture) video will help me to understand the contents in class. (4.000 points)”. Also, the perceptions of the learner's learning motivation in relation to the instructional motivation were very high (4.274 points in total).
