Abstract

With the advent of an intelligent information society, research toward artificial intelligence education was conducted. In previous studies, the subject of research is biased, and studies that analyze attitudes toward artificial intelligence are insufficient. So, in this study developed a test tool to measure the artificial intelligence of high school students and analyze their attitudes toward artificial intelligence. To develop the test tool, 229 high school students completed a preliminary test, of which the results were analyzed via exploratory factor analysis. To analyze the students' attitudes toward artificial intelligence, the resulting test tool was applied to 481 high school students, and their test results were analyzed according to factors. From the study's results, there was no difference according to gender in the students' attitudes toward artificial intelligence, but there was a significant difference per grade. In addition, there was a significant difference in attitudes according to artificial intelligence-related experiences: the high school students who had direct and indirect experience with artificial intelligence, programming, and more frequently used it had more positive attitudes toward artificial intelligence than students without this experience. However, artificial intelligence education experience negatively influenced the students' attitudes toward artificial intelligence. Overall, the higher their interest in artificial intelligence, the more positive the high school students' attitudes toward artificial intelligence.

지능정보사회에 진입함에 따라 인공지능 교육에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되었지만, 선행 연구에서 연구 대상은 편중되어 있고, 인공지능에 대한 태도를 분석하는 연구가 진행되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고등학생의 인공지능을 측정할 수 있는 검사 도구를 개발하고, 개발한 검사 도구를 통하여 고등학생의 인공지능에 대한 태도를 분석하였다. 검사 도구 개발을 위하여 예비 검사 도구를 고등학생 229명에게 적용하고, 검사 결과를 탐색적 요인 분석으로 분석하였다. 고등학생의 인공지능에 대한 태도를 분석하기 위하여 검사 도구를 고등학생 481명에게 실시하고, 검사 결과를 요인에 따라 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 고등학생의 인공지능에 대한 태도는 성별에 따른 차이가 존재하지 않았지만, 학년에 따라 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 또한, 인공지능 관련 경험에 따라 고등학생의 인공지능에 대한 태도는 유의한 차이가 존재하였다. 인공지능의 직, 간접 경험, 프로그래밍 경험, 인공지능 활용 경험이 있는 고등학생은 경험이 없는 학생보다 인공지능에 대한 태도가 긍정적이었다. 반면에 인공지능 교육 경험은 고등학생의 인공지능에 대한 태도가 부정적으로 변화하는 데 영향을 주었다. 마지막으로 인공지능에 대한 관심이 높을수록 고등학생의 인공지능에 대한 태도가 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다.
