Abstract

While every nation in the world is emphasizing economic growth, we are confronting a side effect called environmental pollution. The main cause of environmental pollution is abuse of fossil fuels which emit carbon dioxide and are causing various problems including global worming. Green IT becomes popular as a method to reduce environmental pollution as well as a method to develop IT industry. The purpose of this paper is to develop education contents of green IT for elementary school students. For this purpose, extensive literature review works have been searched and analysed. In this paper, education contents of green IT are developed for three categories, knowledge, application, and ethics. In order to verify the validity of practical guidelines in application category, 55 elementary school teachers are randomly selected and their responses are gathered and analyzed through thorough statistical work. We expect that the proposed education contents will be guidelines for future green IT education.

전 세계 각 나라가 추진하고 있는 경제성장은 환경오염이라는 부작용을 유발하게 되었다. 환경오염은 화석연료의 과다한 사용으로 인한 이산화탄소의 막대한 배출이 주원인이며, 지구온난화를 비롯한 여러 가지 문제를 유발하고 있다. 그린 IT는 환경오염을 해결하는 방법으로서 최근 각광을 받고 있으며, 또한 IT산업을 발전시키기 위한 방안으로 주목받고 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 초등학생을 위한 그린 IT 교육내용을 개발하는 데 있다. 이를 위한 다양한 국내외 문헌조사를 통해 실천지침을 조사하고 분석하였다. 본 논문에서는 초등학생을 위한 그린 IT 교육내용 개발을 위해서, 지식, 기능 및 가치관 차원에서 교육내용을 개발하였으며, 특히 기능차원의 실천지침의 타당성을 검증하기 위해서 초등학교 교사를 대상으로 설문조사결과를 통하여 교육내용을 선별하였다. 본 교육내용은 향후 그린 IT교육에 좋은 지침이 되리라 기대한다.
