Analysis of the effectiveness of lectures applying innovative teaching methods based on university core competencies

Objectives This study sought to investigate the effectiveness of lectures applying core competency-based innovative teaching methods in higher education by analyzing the results of lecture evaluations by students. Methods For this purpose, we collected and analyzed the course evaluation results of 25 courses in which innovative teaching methods were applied among the 2022 courses offered at universities in Chungcheongbuk-do. We compared courses in which innovative teaching methods were applied to courses in which innovative teaching methods were not applied in the same semester by the same professors, and the school's premise lecture evaluation results were compared with mean and standard deviation, and an independent samples t-test was conducted to determine the average between groups according to whether or not innovative teaching methods were applied. The difference was analyzed. Results The lecture evaluation of subjects using innovative teaching methods was relatively high in all areas of input, process, output, and situation. In the input area, compliance with the lecture period and time, in the process area, sufficient understanding and delivery of lecture content, in the output area, overall lecture satisfaction, and in the situation area, the expression and explanation behavior questions showed high lecture evaluation scores. Conclusions It was suggested that innovative teaching methods should be expanded and applied in higher education in order to develop competency-centered teaching methods, and that direct teaching support such as content production and subject consulting as well as a general understanding of innovative teaching methods are needed to establish innovative teaching methods in higher education.
