온라인 수업에서 학습자들의 상호작용 증진을 위한 공동체의식 형성에 관한 고찰 = Inquiry into Learners` Sense of Community in Online Learning Environments

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to examine the concepts of community and sense of community, the impacts of learners` sense of community on learning in face-to-face and online environments, and the factors that influence learners` sense of community in online learning environments through a literature review. Based on the results of the literature review, a theoretical model on learners` sense of community in online learning environments was developed. In the model, factors that influence learners` sense of community were categorized into three dimensions: interaction with classmates and the instructor, course context, and individual differences in backgrounds and experiences. The effects of learners` sense of community included use of polite and friendly language, respect for others` different opinions, expression of various opinions and emotion, exchange of substantial feedback, and a greater sense of responsibility. Finally, implications for future research were suggested.
