Abstract

In a situation where the online learning is expanding due to COVID-19, the current maker education has limitations in applying it to classes. This study is to design the class of online maker education using artificial intelligence tools in elementary school. Also, it is to identify the responses to it and to confirm whether it helps improve the learner's computational thinking and creative problem solving ability. The class was designed by the literature review and redesign of the curriculum. Using interveiw, the responses of instructor and learners were identified. Pre- and post-test using corresponding sample t-test was conducted. As a result, the class consisted of ten steps including empathizing, defining making problems, identifying the characteristics of material and tool, designing algorithms and coding using remixes, etc. For computing thinking and creative problem solving ability, statistically significant difference was found. This study has the significance that practical maker activities using educational artificial intelligence tools in the context of elementary education can be practically applied even in the online environment.

코로나19로 인한 온라인 학습이 확대되고 있는 상황에서 기존 메이커 교육은 학교 수업 현장에 적용하기에 한계를 지닌다. 본 연구는 초등학교의 온라인 환경에서 교육용 인공지능 도구를 활용한 메이커 수업을 설계하는 목적을 지닌다. 또한, 이에 대한 반응 확인과 함께 학습자의 컴퓨팅 사고력, 창의적 문제해결력 향상에 도움이 되었는지를 살펴 보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 선행연구 검토와 교육과정의 재구성을 통해 수업을 설계하였다. 면담을 통한 교수자와 학습자 반응 확인, 대응 표본 t검증을 활용한 사전-사후 분석이 이루어졌다. 연구 결과, 초등 온라인 환경에서 교육용 인공지능 도구를 활용한 메이커 수업은 공감하기, 메이킹 문제 정의하기, 재료 및 도구 특성 파악하기, 리믹스를 활용한 알고리즘 설계 및 코딩하기 등을 포함한 총 10단계로 구성된다. 학습자의 컴퓨팅 사고력과 창의적 문제해결력에 대한 사전-사후 분석 결과, 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 본 연구는 초등교육 맥락에서 교육용 인공지능 도구를 활용한 실제적인 메이커 활동이 온라인 환경에서도 실제적으로 적용 가능하다는 점을 확인한 의미를 지닌다.
