치면세마 교육의 팀기반학습(Team-Based Learning) 효과

Abstract

Purpose: New teaching methods that can contribute to quality of education in dental hygiene and help students to have enhanced ability to deal with dental care and participate actively in their education should be developed. Therefore, this study analyzed educational examples where TBL was applied in medical field to identify the effect of teaching and learning program designed to nurture self-directed learning ability, aiming to use the results for future dental hygiene education.

Method: For this study, we sampled a test group consisting of 32 students and a control group consisting of 28 students in the first year, Dept of Dental Hygiene, C University in Jeollanamdo. The period of this study was from August 30 to December, 2007. To identify the effect of TBL on learning attitudes, learning motive, self-directed learning ability, and academic achievements of the subjects, we used a t-test and compared pre & post effects of TBL using a paired t-test. And to analyze the effect of TBL on learning attitudes and learning motivation of each group, we used General Linear Model, Univariate(GLM).

Results: 1. The test group showed better learning attitudes (p<0.001) after the TBL, and as a result of the GLM, it was found that there was a significant difference in learning attitude between the two groups and statistically significant difference in sub-variables such as self-concept, studying attitude, and learning (p<0.05.) 2. The test group had higher motivation to learn (p<0.001) than the control group after the TBL, and as a result of the GLM, it was found that there was a significant difference in learning motive between the two groups and statistically significant difference in sub-variables such as attention, engagement, and confidence (p<0.05). 3. The test group had higher self-directed learning ability than the control group after the TBL (p<0.05). 4. The test group had higher academic achievements (p<0.05), and had higher satisfaction in TBL (p<0.01).

Conclusion: Based on the results above, it was demonstrated that TBL was more effective in enhancing learning attitudes, learning motive, self-directed learning ability, and academic achievements. Therefore, this study suggests that TBL contributes to enhancing learning effect by nurturing students' abilities to find answers and solve problems through self-directed learning.
