ABSTRACT

In this study, we explored the perceptions of elementary school students in the rural areas who have experienced a self-directed scientific study using online content and methods to increase the effectiveness of online classes or self-directed study guidance at elementary school settings. The results of this study are as follows: First, before conducting a self-directed scientific study, the study subjects often mentioned difficulties in understanding content and a lack of concentration and interest, but after conducting a self-directed scientific study, they mentioned difficulties with the helper’s help or the execution period. Second, the advantages of self-directed scientific study, which many students recognize, were that they gained confidence in searching for data and solving tasks by themselves and that they could autonomously control the time to do tasks. Third, satisfaction was high in that they felt they had grown on their own or learned something new, but satisfaction with the self-directed study method they carried out by themselves was low. Elementary school students said they wanted to perform with their friends with the help of teachers. In addition, the higher the self-directed learning ability, the higher the satisfaction with individual inquiry using online contents. In elementary school, to cultivate self-management or self-directed scientific study skills, it seems necessary to present scientific topics that elementary school students will be interested in and systematically and repeatedly learn over a short period.
