Abstract

Recently, there is a strong interest in SW basic education for non-major students in universities, but SW non-majors are having a hard time learning. This paper proposes a class operation method that utilizes customized contents reflecting the interests of non-majors, rather than using existing learning contents for SW majors. The proposed method is to improve the education effects by increasing the learning motivation of SW non-majors. The paper shows a case study of A university, which has operated non-major SW basic education for more than five years. The case study analyzed the change of class satisfaction of students of pre- and post- learning group that reformed major-friendly contents about the same curriculum. As a result, the students of social sciences are interested in learning contents using public data that can examine the social and cultural phenomena of the country, and humanities students are interested in text contents such as novels, history books, and SNS articles. In addition to the understanding of the lectures, the class satisfaction was also greatly improved, and it showed that the major-friendly contents is useful for SW basic education of non-majors.

최근 대학의 비전공자 소프트웨어(SW) 기초교육에 대한 관심이 높지만 SW 비전공자에겐 학습의 어려움이 크다. 본 논문은 비전공 학생들의 학습 동기를 높여 SW교육 효과를 향상시키기 위해 기존 SW 전공자 대상의 학습 콘텐츠를 그대로 사용하기보다 비전공자들의 흥미를 반영한 전공맞춤형 콘텐츠를 활용한 수업 방안을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 5년 이상 비전공자 SW기초교육을 운영 중인 A 대학의 사례 연구를 통해 동일한 교과과정에 대해 교육 대상의 전공에 맞춤된 학습 콘텐츠로 수업한 전, 후 학생들의 강의 만족도 변화를 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 사회과학계열에선 국가의 사회, 문화 현상을 살펴볼 수 있는 공공 데이터를 이용한 콘텐츠에 학습 흥미를 느끼고, 인문계열에겐 소설, 역사서, SNS 글의 텍스트 콘텐츠가 학습 동기를 상승시켜 어렵게 느끼던 학습 내용에 대한 이해와 함께 강의 만족도도 크게 향상시키는 효과를 가져왔으며 전공맞춤형 콘텐츠가 비전공자 SW기초교육에 유용함을 보여준다.
