Abstract

Software Education will be implemented at elementary, middle and high schools starting in 2018. The goal of software education is to help students develop Computational thinking skills. Computational thinking is largely composed of abstraction and automation. However, the concepts related to abstraction are defined differently for each country, giving confusion to students and teachers. Therefore, in this paper several definitions of abstraction are compared and defined reasonably. And we proposed an abstraction teaching method and evaluation criteria in elementary school based on a reasonable definition. The definition of abstraction presented in this paper is expected to be able to present a solution to the problems encountered in the course of software education in the future.

2018학년도부터 초중고등학교에서 소프트웨어 교육이 시행될 예정이다. 소프트웨어 교육의 목표는 학생들에게 Computational Thinking 능력을 길러주는 데 있다고 할 수 있다. Computational Thinking은 크게 추상화와 자동화로 구성되는데 추상화와 관련된 개념을 국가마다 전공마다 다르게 정의하고 있어 학생들과 교사들한테 혼란을 주고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 추상화에 대한 여러 정의들을 비교하여 합리적으로 정의하였다. 합리적인 정의를 바탕으로 초등학교에서에서의 추상화 교육 방법과 평가 기준에 대하여 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 추상화에 대한 정의는 앞으로 소프트웨어 교육을 진행하면서 만나게 되는 문제에 대한 해결 방법을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
