Abstract

In this paper, I analyzed the cause on difference of ICT literacy level according to region scale in elementary school. According to precedent research, ICT literacy score of elementary student in 2016 were higher in order of big city, small city and rural area. To find the cause of difference by region scale, I compared ICT literacy score and ICT use habit. As a result, The cause for this is that students in large areas have more chances to use computers at home, learn more with computers, and have more information (computer) education than students in small areas appear. Therefore, Based on the results of this study, I proposed methods to reduce the regional ICT literacy score difference. The methods are to provide computers for low-income students, to guide learning methods using computers at home, and to provide more computer education opportunities.

본 논문에서는 지역규모에 따라 초등학생의 ICT 리터러시 점수가 차이나는 원인을 분석하였다. 선행연구에 따르면 2016년 측정된 초등학생들의 ICT 리터러시 점수는 대도시, 중소도시, 읍면지역 순으로 높게 나타났다. 이에 본 논문에서는 그 원인을 알아보고자 지역규모별 초등학생들의 평소 ICT 활용 습관 차이와 ICT 리터러시 점수를 비교하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 지역규모가 클수록 초등학생들의 ICT 리터러시 점수가 높은 원인은 큰 지역에 거주하는 학생들이 작은 지역에 거주하는 학생들보다 가정에서 컴퓨터를 사용하는 기회가 더 많고 컴퓨터를 이용하여 학습 활동을 더 많이 하며, 정보(컴퓨터)교육을 받은 경험도 더 많기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 지역 간 초등학생의 정보격차를 줄이기 위하여 지역규모가 작은 저소득계층의 자녀들에 대한 컴퓨터 지원과 함께 가정에서 컴퓨터를 활용한 학습 활동 안내 그리고 정보(컴퓨터)교육 기회 확대 등을 종합적으로 지원할 것을 제안하였다.
