Abstract

Although programming language is a core education area of software that is becoming increasingly important in the age of the fourth industrial revolution, as it requires logical thinking skills, it is recognized as a difficult subject even for SW major students. This difficulty occasionally causes SW major students to lose interest and confidence in their major during the introductory course of a programming language; making them change their majors, or give up their studies. In this study, we designed an instructional model using Scratch for educating C language which is a typical programming introductory language. To do this, we analyzed the concepts that can be trained by Scratch among the programming concepts supported by C language, and developed the examples of Scratch for exercising the concepts. The instructional model supports the progress model of learning first the programming concepts through Scratch and then expand the learning content into C language. We also conducted an experiment on the SW major freshman students of a local private university to verify the effectiveness of the model.

4차 산업혁명시대에서 그 중요성이 날로 증대하고 있는 소프트웨어의 핵심 교육 영역인 프로그래밍 언어는 논리적 사고 능력을 요구하고 있어 SW전공 학생들에게도 어려운 과목으로 인식되고 있다. 이런 어려움으로 인해 SW전공 학생이 프로그래밍 언어 입문 수업 도중 전공에 대한 흥미와 자신감을 잃고 전공을 변경하거나 학업 자체를 포기하는 상황이 발생하기도 한다. 본 연구는 SW전공자의 프로그래밍 입문 수업에 일반적으로 사용되는 C 언어 교육에 스크래치를 활용하는 수업 모형을 설계하였다. 이를 위해, C언어가 지원하는 프로그래밍 개념들 중 스크래치로 교육 가능한 개념들을 명확히 파악하고 그 개념들의 이해와 활용 능력을 배양하기 위한 스크래치 실습 예제들을 개발하였다. 본 수업 모형은 프로그래밍 개념들에 대해서 먼저 스크래치의 구현 방식 교육과 예제들을 통해 명확하게 이해하고 C언어로 교육 내용을 확장하는 절차를 지원하며 모 지방 사립대의 SW전공 신입생들을 대상으로 효과를 실험하였다.
