Abstract

We compared domestic computer science curriculum with foreign curriculums in order to develop content for algorithm and programming education in elementary and secondary schools. The results show that the levels and ranges of information included in the practical arts and information subjects of the 2015 Revised Curriculum are insufficient when compared with those of England, India, and America. In this paper, we surveyed experts about the importance of content and the age-appropriate time to begin teaching algorithm and programming in schools. The surveys were conducted using questionnaires used in KAIE's software standard model. Except for algorithm evaluation, the experts largely believe all content areas of algorithm education are important. However, they had differing opinions about the best time to begin teaching this subject matter.

알고리즘과 프로그래밍 영역에 대한 초중고등학교 교육과정을 개발하기 위해 국내외 교육과정을 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 2015 개정 실과 교육과정과 정보과 교육과정에 포함된 내용이 영국이나 미국, 인도와 비교할 때 내용의 범위와 수준이 미흡한 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이를 개선하기 위해 한국정보교육학회에서 개발한 소프트웨어 교육과정 표준 모델을 참조하여 알고리즘과 프로그래밍 영역을 구분하여 전문가들을 대상으로 설문을 통해 내용의 중요도와 교육 시기의 적절성을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 연구자가 제시한 영역별 내용 중에서 알고리즘의 평가 이외에는 모든 영역에서 중요하다고 응답하였으나 영역별 교육 시기는 전문가마다 의견이 달랐다.
