다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In colleges and universities, online leaning is rapidly adopted not only as a means of supplementing off-line classrooms, but also as a substitute of the classrooms. In order to be successful, the strengths of online media should be considered and pedagogical concerns should be made, which enable learner-centered, interactive learning experiences on the Web. Online inquiry-based learning is a learning model for the effective use of the Internet. Currently, learners have a lot of chance to experience a variety of inquiry in virtual space(e.g., e-biz and online games). If designers try to develop inquiry-based learning on the Web, they can find fruitful resource and tips. Nevertheless, it is difficult to find sound instructional design principles for the designers. This study is to identify design principles based on the students` experiences in one online course for pre-service teachers which provided cognitive tools, resources, inquiry learning module, and inquiry community support. Survey data and reflection notes were used to rebuild how learners feel when they were doing inquiry on the Web, what were most helpful for their inquiry, and what were most important elements among inquiry module components. The results show the overall satisfaction of learners in comparison to the off-line classroom. With the heavy burden of major courses in addition to the field experiences in pre-college schools, students complained the amount of learning tasks assigned on the weekly basis. But the data made us conclude that if instructional designers design inquiry with sound principles suggested in this study, the online inquiry-based learning can be a substitute of the off-line classroom in terms of learner ownership and learning results, expecially paradigm shift from teacher-centered to student-centered perspective by pre-service teachers.
