학습자생성동영상 활용 수업이 예비영어교사의 자기주도학습능력, 교수불안감, 의사소통능력에 미치는 영향

초록

This study investigates the effects of a series of activities organized around learner-generated videos on pre-service English teachers’ self-directed learning, teaching anxiety, and communication competence. Forty-nine pre-service teachers enrolled in a TEFL Methods and Materials course participated in the study for 15 weeks. During the semester, the students were instructed to create short instruction videos and upload them weekly on their YouTube channels. Participants posted their feedback online, and small group discussions and detailed analysis by the instructor followed during class. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered on the measures of self-directed learning, foreign language teaching anxiety, and communication competence. Paired samples t-test results found that the pre-service teachers’ self-directed learning ability has increased with statistical significance, and their teaching anxiety level decreased with statistical significance. Their communication competence in total did not show a significant increase but some sub-components of the competence measure showed significant increases. The analysis of the quantitative and qualitative survey responses collected after the experiment showed that the pre-service teachers perceived that the series of activities organized around learner-generated videos were highly interesting and effective, and that they greatly helped improve their competencies as a teacher. The results of the study cast some important pedagogical implications for pre-service teacher education.
