Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out the perception of parents in order to develop a software education program for elementary students convergence with English. A survey was administered to 120 parents asking perceptions about SW education in schools and preferences about English-SW convergence programs for their elementary school children. The results shows that the parents think the current 17 hours of SW education provided at elementary schools is not enough and also they hoped the education started at an earlier grade than the current 5th·6th graders. Most parents perceived English is helpful in SW education and answered strongly for the need of English-SW convergence programs. A two-week program with the ratio of 6(SW):4(English) was the most preferred according to the study. As for regional differences, the parents in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province wanted SW education as after-school programs in elementary schools whereas, parents in Chungcheong Province expected SW education programs be provided from near-by universities. It is hoped that with the results of this study various English-SW education programs are developed and operated.

본 연구는 초등 자녀를 둔 학부모들의 SW교육에 대한 인식·수요 조사를 기반으로 초등학생 대상 SW-영어 융합교육 프로그램을 개발하고 설계하기 위한 사전 연구이다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 초등학생을 자녀로 둔 학부모 120명을 대상으로 설문을 하였다. 연구 결과, 대부분의 학부모는 SW교육의 중요성 및 초등 5·6학년 대상 SW 의무교육 지정에 대해서 높은 인식을 가지고 있었다. 하지만, 현행의 17시간의 의무교육 시수가 부족하다고 인식하였으며, 동시에 저학년부터 SW교육이 시작되길 희망하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, SW-영어 융합교육의 필요성을 인식하고 SW교육과 영어교육을 동시에 배우는 SW-영어 융합캠프에 대한 참여관심도가 높았다. 특히, 참여시 2주간의 교육 기간 선호와 SW교육과 영어교육 비율은 6(SW):4(영어)를 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 지역별 분류에서도 저학년부터 SW교육 도입의 의견과 SW-영어 융합캠프 참여시 2주간의 교육 기간을 선호와 일일 2시간 교육이 적당하다고 하였다. 한편, 지역별 SW교육 기관의 선호 측면에서는 다른 양상을 보였다. 서울·경기지역은 초등학교 방과 후 수업을 가장 많이 선호하였으며, 충청지방은 인근 대학 연계 SW교육을 가장 많이 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 각 교육기관 및 교육자들은 SW-영어 융합교육에 대한 프로그램 설계 및 지역별 요구에 알맞은 다양한 프로그램 개발을 모색해야 할 것이다.
