Exploring the Effects of PBL-based Online Courses on Learners’ Creative Problem-solving Skill

The purpose of this study is to analyze whether online courses based on PBL in college courses have a significant effect on learners’ pre- and post-creative problem solving skills, and to suggest the strategies and direction of the courses so that the asynchronous online classes can be conducted effectively. To this end, the core values and strategies of the online PBL course model were derived to create a learning environment which can occur smoothly and creatively to solve problems. The designed course was applied to the liberal arts subject <Learning Portfolio> class and operated for one semester. The results showed that the average creative problem-solving skills of learners increased slightly, and had a significant effect. Based on these results, direction and further research themes were suggested for enhancing meaningful learning experiences, and efficient operation strategies in classes and tasks to be performed in the future were presented as follows. As interest in artificial intelligence and chat GPT and their use in educational settings has been increasing recently, this study needs to be applied to subjects and non-curriculum, various educational settings, and online/offline and artificial intelligence learning environments. And analyze the effects of learning styles on learning capacity, satisfaction, participation, and achievement in learning methods mediated by e-learning and artificial intelligence through research on learning styles.
