A Study on the Discussion Method of Classics Reading : Based on 〈Masterpiece Reading〉 learners’ perception analysis

Abstract

This study aims to investigate discussion methods applicable to classical reading courses based on learner perception analysis. In recent years, the rapid spread of artificial intelligence has increased the demand for human thinking and creativity. Discussion is a teaching method that can effectively strengthen these abilities, and it is necessary to strengthen research on specific applications in university education in the future. Therefore, this study examined whether there is a difference in students' perceptions of the class and the improvement of core competencies according to the difference in discussion methods. The results showed that students who held group discussions had higher mean scores regarding lesson design, classroom activities, feedback and communication, achievement, and satisfaction as opposed to students who only held bulletin board discussions. In addition, both groups were most positive about improving their articulation competencies, while students who participated in bulletin board discussions were more positive about improving their self-management competencies. Also, students who participated in group discussions were more positive about improving their dedication and universal value competencies. We hope that this study will be helpful in designing and implementing discussion methods in future classical reading courses.
