Abstract

Major countries in the world have established strategies for educating about artificial intelligence(AI) and with large investments are actively implementing these strategies. With this trend, domestic ministries have made efforts to establish national strategies to better educate students about AI. This paper presents the syllabus of AI classrooms which has been developed and presented to pre-service and in-service elementary school teachers for their use. In addition, the AI education tools they particularly preferred and their future plans for utilizing them in the elementary school classroom were investigated. Through this study, it was found that pre-service and in-service elementary school teachers strongly prefer lectures about AI education tools that can be immediately applied in the classroom, rather than learning about the theoretical basis of AI. At issue, however, is that the ability to utilize AI is usually based on a sufficient understanding of the theory. Thus, this paper suggests further study to identify better pedagogical practices to improve students' understanding the theoretical basis of AI.

세계의 주요 국가들은 높은 수준의 인공지능 교육 환경을 구축하고자 국가 차원에서 전략을 수립하고 막대한 자본을 투입하여 실행에 옮기고 있다. 국내의 관계 부처들도 이러한 시대적 흐름에 맞추어 '인공지능 국가전략'을 수립하고 인공지능 교육의 전문성을 향상하여 선도국과의 격차를 해소하기 위한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 본 논문에서는 예비 및 현직 초등교사들을 대상으로 교육현장에서 현재 활용되고 있는 인공지능 수업 콘텐츠를 설명하고, 수업에 참여하였던 학생들이 특별히 선호하는 수업의 내용과 초등교육 현장에 학생들이 직접 적용하고자 계획하는 수업 아이디어를 분류하였다. 그 결과, 예비 및 현직 초등교사들은 인공지능의 기저 이론에 대한 깊이 있는 내용보다는 초등교육에 즉시 적용이 가능한 인공지능 교육 도구 중심의 실습을 더욱 선호하는 경향이 있음을 알게 되었다. 그러나 인공지능의 이론에 대한 충분한 이해를 토대로 인공지능의 활용 역량도 배양될 수 있으므로, 이론 교육에 대한 학습 효과를 향상하기 위한 방안이 향후 연구로써 필요함을 본 연구를 통해 알 수 있었다.
