Abstract

Computer education in universities has been expanded and specialized from ICT-based education in recent years to software education such as computational thinking and programming. Especially, as the 4th Industrial Revolution is emphasized in all fields of society, software education, which is its core, is being applied as an essential liberal arts course in universities. In the case of basic SW education for all students, it is necessary to provide differentiated education that is suitable for students because their special characteristics are different. In this study, we conducted a basic SW course for general liberal arts at A-university in Seoul and analyzed the survey data from 4,927 students for about 3 years, and classified the major series and searched the appropriate education method for each subdivided group. Through the analysis, we were able to find characteristic groups such as business and commerce, art and sports major. Finally, six groups for basic-SW education are presented. Educational directions such as programming language and level of difficulty setting suitable for differentiated education are presented for each group.

대학에서의 컴퓨터교육은 과거 ICT 활용 중심의 교육에서 최근에는 컴퓨팅적사고 및 프로그래밍 등의 소프트웨어 교육으로 그 내용이 확장되고 전문화되고 있다. 특히 4차 산업혁명이 사회 전 분야에 강조되면서 그 핵심인 소프트웨어 교육이 대학에서 필수적 교양수업으로 도입되는 추세이다. 전교생을 대상으로 하는 기초SW교육을 실시하는 경우 학생들의 전공계열의 특성이 다르기 때문에 그에 적합한 세분화된 교육을 제공할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 서울소재 A대학에서 교양필수 기초SW과목을 운영하고, 약 3년간 수강생 4,927명으로부터 얻은 설문데이터를 분석하여 전공계열을 세분화하고 각 세분화된 그룹에 적합한 교육방식을 탐색하였다. 분석을 통하여 경상계열, 예체능계열, 자유전공 등의 특징있는 그룹들을 발견할 수 있었다. 최종적으로 6개의 세분화된 기초SW교육을 위한 그룹을 제시하였으며, 각 그룹별로 교육에 적합한 프로그래밍 언어 및 난이도 설정 등의 교육방향을 제시하였다.
