웹기반 학습환경에서 학습양식이 학업성취 및 웹기반 학습자 지원기능 선호에 미치는 영향 = Effects of Learning Style on Learning Achievement and the Preference for Learner-Support Functions in a Web-Based Instruction

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It seemed to be important to understand a learner`s learning style and his/her preference for various ``learner-support functions`` which provided in a Web-Based Instruction(WBI) for designing and developing more appropriate and individualized Web-based teaching and learning environments. Therefore, the study investigated effects of learning style on learning achievement and learner-support function preference in the WBI environment. The study employed Kolb`s categories of learning style with Concrete(Accommodator, Diverger) vs. Abstract(Converger, Assimilator) and six types of learner-support functions in WBI, such as learning preparation, learning content, learning materials, task & evaluation, interaction, and learning support. Results of the study indicated that students with abstract learning style gained higher achievement scores than students with concrete learning style in WBI. In addition, outstanding students with abstract learning style more preferred the learning support function, but outstanding students with concrete learning style were more interested in the learning material function. These findings indicated that different learning styles should be concerned for design and develop more effective WBI environments.
