Abstract

The development of intelligent information technology based on intelligence and data and network technology implemented by artificial intelligence has instigated innovation in society as a whole and has shown wide social and economic impact. Therefore, not only overseas but also in Korea, AI education is in a hurry to cultivate talents who will lead the upcoming society. Data is an important part of artificial intelligence, and data literacy, which can collect, process, and analyze data, to make data-based decisions, can be seen as an important competency to be developed along with AI literacy. Therefore, in this study, an AI data science education program that can increase data literacy of elementary school students was developed and applied to the experimental group, and its effectiveness was verified through a pre- and post response sample t-test. As a result, all of the four detailed competencies of data literacy, data understanding, collection, analysis, and expression, showed statistically significant improvement, indicating that the AI data science education program was effective in improving students' data literacy.

인공지능으로 구현되는 지능과 데이터 및 네트워크 기술에 기반한 지능정보기술의 발전은 사회 전반에 혁신을 유발하고 광범위한 사회, 경제적 파급력을 보여주고 있다. 이에 국외는 물론 국내에서도 다가오는 미래사회를 이끌어갈 인재 양성을 위해 AI 교육을 서두르고 있는 실정이다. 데이터는 인공지능의 중요한 부분으로서 데이터를 수집, 처리, 분석하여 데이터 기반의 의사결정을 할 수 있는 데이터 리터러시는 AI 소양과 더불어 함께 신장시켜야 할 중요한 역량으로 볼 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 초등학생의 데이터 리터러시를 키워줄 수 있는 AI 데이터과학 교육 프로그램을 개발하여 이를 실험반에 적용, 사전-사후 대응표본 t-test를 통해 그 효과성을 검증하였다. 그 결과 데이터 리터러시의 네 가지 세부 역량인 데이터 이해, 수집, 분석, 표현에서 모두 통계적으로 유의미하게 향상된 결과를 나타내어 AI 데이터과학 교육 프로그램이 학생들의 데이터 리터러시 향상에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.
