Abstract

In order to cultivate the talents needed in the 4th industrial revolution era, it is necessary to select gifted students and train them systematically. The affective characteristics of the gifted are self-concept, personality, sociality, motivation, morality, attitude and interest, and these are important factors that affect science achievement. In particular, computer scientific attitude is an important variable affecting computer science achievement. This study developed a computer scientific attitude test based on TOSRA developed by Fraser to measure the affective characteristics of information-gifted students. The computer scientific attitude test is composed of 7 areas: social implications of computer science, attitude to computer scientific inquiry, adoption of computer scientific attitudes, adoption of computer scientific attitudes, leisure interest in computer science, career interest in computer science, and normality of computer scientists. The relationship between computer scientific attitude and academic achievement of gifted students was analyzed using the developed test. To determine find out whether computer scientific attitude significantly predicts academic achievement, the results of a regression analysis showed that t = 2.543 and p = 0.025, indicating that the average of computer science attitude significantly predicted academic achievement.

4차 산업혁명 시대에 필요한 인재를 양성하기 위해서는 정보영재를 선발하여 체계적으로 교육하는 것이 필요하다. 영재의 정의적 특성은 자아개념, 성격, 사회성, 성취동기, 도덕성, 태도나 흥미 등을 들 수 있으며 성취도에 영향을 끼치는 중요한 요소이며 특히 컴퓨터 과학적 태도는 컴퓨터과학 학습의 출발점 행동으로 컴퓨터과학 성취도에 영향을 미치는 중요 변인이다. 본 연구에서는 정보영재의 정의적 특성을 측정하기 위하여 Fraser가 개발한 TOSRA를 기반으로 컴퓨터 과학적 태도 검사 도구를 개발하였다. 컴퓨터 과학적 태도 검사 도구는 컴퓨터과학의 사회적 시사영역, 컴퓨터과학 탐구에 대한 태도영역, 컴퓨터 과학적 태도의 수용영역, 컴퓨터과학 수업의 즐거움영역, 컴퓨터과학 관련 취미에 대한 관심영역, 컴퓨터과학 관련 직업에 대한 관심영역, 컴퓨터과학자의 평범함 영역으로 7개의 영역으로 구성된다. 개발된 검사 도구를 사용하여 정보영재 학생들의 컴퓨터 과학적 태도와 학업성취도간의 관계를 분석하였다. 컴퓨터 과학적 태도가 학업성취도를 유의하게 예측하는지를 확인하기 위하여 회귀분석을 실시한 결과 t=2.543, p=0.025로 유의 수준 .05에서 컴퓨터 과학적 태도의 평균이 학업성취도를 유의하게 예측하였다.
