Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop and implement the Appropriate Technology Science School program (ATSS) for youth operated by the Europe-Korea Conference on Science & Technology (EKC) since 2016. The development process consisted of pre-online management meetings, online and offline tutor training, operation of ATSS for youth, and satisfaction surveys. As a result of the development, the management team selected the mission-solving theme of "Transforming village using blockchain technology" through a pre-online meeting. The contents were reorganized according to the level of the participating tutees, and various learning activities such as co-building activities, games, and plays were newly introduced and developed first, and the programs developed through tutor training were demonstrated and improved. A total of 38 tutees and tutors from 6 countries participated in the 2018 ATSS. As a result, participants showed positive satisfaction overall. Tutees showed interest in dome co-building activities and hash function calculation activities, and tutors showed interest in lectures and monopoly games related to blockchain technology. The development and of the 2018 ATSS will contribute to the improvement of expertise in the operation of the EKC ATSS in the future to the management team. It will be an opportunity for tutors to experience that high-tech science and technology have a good impact on appropriate technology for the third world and community society. In addition, Tutees will be provided with an opportunity to indirectly experience the local situation and community society through a role play on the impact of blockchain technology on African villages.

본 연구는 유럽-한인 과학기술학회에서 2016년부터 운영하고 있는 청소년 적정기술 과학교실 프로그램의 개발과 적용에 목적을 두고 있다. 개발 과정은 크게 사전 온라인 운영진 회의, 온라인과 오프라인에서의 Tutor 교육, 청소년 적정 기술 과학교실 운영, 만족도 조사로 진행되었다. 개발 결과, 운영진은 사전 온라인 회의를 통해 '블록체인 기술을 이용한 가난한 마을살리기'라는 미션해결형 주제를 선정하였다. 참가 학생들의 수준에 맞게 내용을 재구성하고 공동제작, 게임, 연극 등의 다양한 학습활동을 새로 도입하여 1차로 개발하였고, Tutor 교육을 통해 개발된 프로그램을 시연해보면서 개선시켰다. 2018년 EKC 과학교실에 6개국, 총 38명의 Tutee와 Tutor들이 참가하였다. 적용 결과, 참가자들은 전반적으로 프로그램에 대해 긍정적인 만족도를 나타냈으며, Tutee들은 돔제작활동과 해쉬함수 계산활동에 관심을 보였으며 Tutor들은 블록체인 기술과 관련한 강의나 빌리지코인 보드게임에 흥미를 보였다. 2018 EKC 과학교실 개발과 적용은 운영진들에게는 향후 EKC 과학교실 운영에 대한 전문성 향상에 기여할 것이며, Tutor들은 첨단과학기술도 제3세계 및 공동체 사회를 위한 적정기술로의 선한 영향을 줄 수 있음을 경험하는 계기가 될 것이다. 또한, Tutee들에게는 블록체인기술이 아프리카 마을에 미치는 영향에 대한 역할극을 통해 해당 지역 상황과 공동체사회를 간접적으로 경험하는 기회를 제공할 것이다.
