Abstract

This paper have been knowing about policy background about Computer Science Education in UK. Every schools in UK have been teaching Computing as a subject matter from september, 2014. Department of Education in UK had replacement ICT to Computing subject. The institute have accepted that problems about ICT subject which school teacher recognised and the needs of academic sector, and the entrepreneur's needs for talented person of 21st century. We have known that Computing at School(CAS) had started grass root organization, which had been trying to changing the computer science curriculum. In the processes, it was corporation very closely among organizations, such as government, universities, entrepreneurs, awarding bodies for evaluation, and non-profit initiatives. Through this research, we have get some lessons for advancing of software education in South Korea.

본 논문은 영국의 컴퓨터과학 교육의 정책적 배경을 탐구하는 것이다. 영국은 2014년 9월부터 '컴퓨팅'을 교과로써 초등학교부터 고등학생까지 가르친다. 교육부는 기존의 ICT 교과를 컴퓨터과학으로 대체하였다. 영국 교육부는 기존의 ICT 교육에 대한 교사들의 문제인식과, 학계의 요구, 미래 산업을 위한 인재에 대한 요구를 받아들였다. 풀뿌리 조직으로 시작한 CAS의 노력이 영국의 교육 제도를 변화시키는 과정에 정부, 대학, 기업, 평가기관, 비영리 기관 등 다양한 조직의 적극적인 협력이 있음을 알게 되었다. 이를 통하여 우리나라의 소프트웨어 교육 발전을 위한 여러 가지 시사점을 제시하였다.
