Abstract

Software (SW) education is guided by the government to operate not only computer subject matter but also related subject matter. SW education is highlighted in the 2015 Revised Curriculum and Guide for Operating SW Education. SW education is related with science education. For example, education on algorithms employing SW and activities using sensors/output control can be an effective strategy for scientific inquiry. The method can also be applied in developing Computational Thinking (CT) in students. In this study, we designed lessons to solve everyday scientific problems using Educational Programming Language (EPL) SW and physical computing materials and applied them to high school students. We conducted surveys that were modified from questionnaires of Internet application capability and based on the standard of accomplishment of SW education as well as elements of CT to find out the change in perceptions on programming and CT of students. We also conducted a survey on students' attitude toward science learning after an SW inquiry activity. In the results, perceptions on programming and CT of students were improved through lessons using unplugged activity, EPL SW, and physical computing. In addition, scores for interest, self-directed learning ability, and task commitment were high.

최근 소프트웨어 중심사회 실현 전략을 목적으로 하는 소프트웨어 교육이 국내에서도 많이 강조되고 있는데, 이것은 정보과목 뿐 아니라 다양한 교과 활동과 연계하여 수행하도록 하고 있다. 2015 개정 교육과정에 소프트웨어 교육이 강화되면서, 소프트웨어 교육 운영지침(MOE, 2015)이 발표되었다. 이것은 교육부가 소프트웨어 교육을 얼마나 중요시하는 지를 보여준다. 소프트웨어 교육은 과학교육과도 관련이 있는데, 소프트웨어를 활용한 알고리즘 교육과 피지컬 컴퓨팅을 활용한 센서 측정 및 출력 제어 활동은 과학교육에서 최근 강조되고 있는 과학적 탐구 전략으로서 효과적일 수 있다. 또한 최근 강조되고 있는 컴퓨팅 사고력 개발을 위해서도 적절한 교육방법이 될 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 일상에서의 과학적 문제를 교육용 프로그래밍 언어(EPL)를 사용하는 소프트웨어와 피지컬 컴퓨팅 교구를 사용해 해결하는 탐구활동 프로그램을 설계하고 고등학생들에게 적용해 보았다. 적용 전후 학생들의 프로그래밍과 컴퓨팅 사고력에 대한 인식의 변화를 보기 위해 컴퓨터 활용 능력 설문지를 소프트웨어 교육의 성취기준과 컴퓨팅 사고력의 구성요소와 관련지어 수정하여 사용하였다. 연구 결과, 언플러그드 활동과 EPL 소프트웨어 및 피지컬 컴퓨팅 교구를 활용하여 구성된 소프트웨어 활용 탐구활동을 통해 학생들의 프로그래밍과 컴퓨팅 사고력에 대한 인식이 향상되었으며, 컴퓨팅을 통한 문제해결에 대한 자신감도 향상되었다. 또한 소프트웨어 활용 탐구활동을 경험한 학생들은 과학에 대한 흥미와 적극성, 과제집착력도 높은 것으로 나타났다.
