초록

본 연구는 초기수용자를 대상으로 수집자공급형 웹기반 학술정보데이터베이스의 사용성에 대한 정량적 및 정성적 평가를 실시하고, 개인의 특성에 따른 사용성 평가에 있어서의 차이를 분석한 탐색적 연구이다. Kolb 학습유형, 성별, 이용자교육 참가여부와 같은 이용자의 특성에 따른 탐색소요시간과 이용자 관점에서의 사용용이성, 용어이해도, 주제분류 이해도 및 만족도에 있어서의 차이가 있는지 살펴보았다. 분석 결과, Kolb 학습유형에서의 동화적 학습자와 조절적 학습자 간에 탐색소요시간에 있어서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 사용용이성과 용어이해도에 대한 인식에 있어서 성별에 따른 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 그러나 이용자교육 참가여부에 따른 탐색소요시간과 사용성 인식에 있어서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다.

Abstract

This is an exploratory study targeting initial users to evaluate the usability of an aggregator-supplied full-text database and to analyze the differences in task performance and perceptions based on participant characteristics. The differences in completion time and perceptions on ease of use, terminology, subject categories and satisfaction were analyzed based on the participant characteristics such as Kolb learning style, gender and participation in user instruction on full-text databases. The results indicated that there was a statistically significant difference in completion time based on the Kolb learning style. Also a statistically significant difference was found in perceptions on ease of use and terminology based on gender. However no statistically significant difference was found in perceptions on the usability of the database based on the participation in user instruction.
