Abstract

This study explores the effects of STEAM program using Arduino on preservice science teachers toward their STEAM core competencies. The STEAM program using Arduino consists of four stages: presentation of situation, creative design, emotional touch, and evaluation. The preservice science teachers learned the theoretical backgrounds of STEAM and Arduino. Then, they were given the chance to think about an environmental issue, which is fine dust. The preservice teachers designed an air cleaner and a fine dust measuring instrument using Arduino. The preservice science teachers also produced the air cleaner and the measuring instrument using Arduino. They measured the level of fine dust in the classroom before and after the use of the air cleaner. That is, the preservice teachers experienced each stage of STEAM: seriousness of fine dust, design and production of the measuring instrument of fine dust and air cleaner, and evaluation of the effectiveness of air cleaner. Further, they reflected on their experiences of STEAM program using Arduino. The results indicate that these preservice science teachers statistically improved communication competency, problem-solving competency, gathering information competency, logical analytical thinking competency, and creativity competency. However, there were no statistical improvements on teamwork competency and self-development competency. This study suggests that experiencing STEAM program using Arduino is valuable for the preservice science teachers to develop STEAM core competencies and further implement STEAM program their science classes in the future.

본 연구는 예비 과학교사들을 대상으로 아두이노를 활용한 STEAM 프로그램을 적용하여 융합인재 핵심 역량에 어떠한 변화가 있는지 살펴보았다. 아두이노를 활용한 STEAM 프로그램은 STEAM과 아두이노, 그리고 SW 교육에 대한 이론적 배경의 학습, 상황 제시, 창의적 설계, 감성적 체험, 그리고 평가 단계로 구성되며, 각 단계에서 아두이노를 활용할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 예비 과학교사들은 '미세먼지'를 주제로 아두이노를 활용한 STEAM 프로그램을 경험하였다. 예비교사들은 상황제시 단계에서 미세먼지란 무엇인지, 그리고 미세먼지의 심각성에 대해 학습한 후 미세먼지 측정기의 원리에 대해 살펴보았다. 창의적 설계 단계에서는 공기청정기를 제작하기 위해 설계도를 고안하였으며, 이때 아두이노를 활용하여 미세먼지 측정기 제작을 위한 방안을 구상할 수 있도록 하였다. 다음으로 감성적 체험 단계에서는 공기 청정기를 제작하고, 아두이노를 활용하여 미세먼지 측정기를 제작하도록 하였다. 마지막 평가 단계에서는 제작한 공기청정기를 작동하여 미세먼지 측정기를 활용하여 미세먼지 농도를 측정하여 평가할 수 있도록 하였다. 예비교사들은 아두이노를 활용한 STEAM 프로그램 경험 후 의사소통 역량, 문제 해결 역량, 정보수집 역량, 논리분석적 사고 역량, 창의적 역량이 향상되었다. 또한, 예비교사들은 프로그램 경험 후 예비교사들은 아두이노를 활용한 STEAM 수업의 학교 현장에서의 활용 가능성에 대해 과학적 탐구능력 함양, 협동심과 소통능력 향상, 문제해결력과 창의적 사고력 활용을 언급하였다. 또한 이들은 STEAM 프로그램에 아두이노를 접목하여 활용함으로써 소프트웨어적 지식과 능력을 기를 수 있을 것이라고 하였다.
