Abstract

The purpose of this study is to establish the relationship between self-directed learning abilities, interpersonal understanding, and satisfaction of participants in team-based, focused classes. To achieve the purpose of this research, 409 university students who participate in team-based classes at a university located in South Korea were selected as candidates for the study. For data processing methods, we did frequency analysis, reliability analysis, and correlation analysis using SPSS 21.0 for Window, and used a structural equation model to verify the analysis of confirmatory factors and the theory of research using AMOS 18.0. Our findings were as follows. First, the self-directed learning ability of the team-based class participants affected interpersonal understanding. Second, the self-directed learning ability of team-based learning class participants affected satisfaction with the class.
