Abstract

The purpose of this research is to compare the effect of unplugged learning method with traditional lecture method on intellectual disability students' informatics education achievement. For this goal, we developed a new unplugged learning method and new appropriate teach-learning materials that can improve the intellectual disability students' informatics education achievement. We randomly divided special school specialized course freshman into the experimental group and the control group. We applied unplugged learning method to the experimental group and lecture teaching method to the control group. According to these results, Intellectual disability students participated in task interestingly and spontaneously. It has been proved that the teaching-learning materials applied unplugged learning method were helpful for intellectual disability students' informatics education achievement.

본 연구는 지적장애학생들에게 언플러그드 학습 방법이 특수학교 정보처리 교과에서 기존의 강의와 실습을 병행한 전통적인 수업 방식에 비해 학업 성취도 면에서 높은 효과가 있을 것이라는 가설을 검증하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 언플러그드 컴퓨터과학 학습 방법을 이용하여 지적장애학생들의 정보처리 학업 성취도를 향상시킬 수 있는 새로운 학습 자료와 방법을 개발하고, 특수학교 현장에 적용하여 효과를 분석하였다. 특수학교 전공과 1학년 학생들을 대상으로 실험집단에는 언플러그드 학습 방법을, 통제집단에는 전통적인 방식의 정보처리 수업을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 지적장애학생들은 언플러그드 학습 방법에 대하여 매우 높은 호기심과 흥미를 보이며, 자발적으로 협력하여 과제에 참여하였고, 정보교육 학업 성취에도 도움이 되는 것으로 나타났다.
