Abstract

This study aims to develop an AI education program for secondary school students to help understand AI and to provide an experience of solving real-life problems by using AI, and to analyze the effectiveness of education. The education program based on the AI education system for K-12 developed in the previous study was composed of a total of 12 lessons by selecting the self-driving cars, which is emerging as a recent issue among real life problems, as the main topic. Classes were conducted for secondary school students who had experience in software education, and the effectiveness of education and class satisfaction were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the understanding of AI and the sense of AI efficacy were improved, and the class satisfaction was high in all items such as educational content, fun in class, difficulty of class, and interest in AI. Based on these results, implications for AI education for secondary students were proposed.

본 연구에서는 인공지능에 대한 이해를 돕고 인공지능을 활용하여 실생활의 문제를 해결하는 경험을 제공하기 위한 중등 학생 대상 인공지능 교육 프로그램을 개발하고 교육의 효과성을 분석하고자 한다. 이전 연구에서 개발한 K-12 대상 인공지능 교육체계를 기반으로 설계한 교육 프로그램은 실생활의 문제 중에서 최근 이슈로 떠오르고 있는 자율주행 자동차를 주요 주제로 선정하여 총 12차시로 구성하였다. 소프트웨어 교육을 받은 경험이 있는 중등 학생을 대상으로 수업을 진행하고 교육의 효과성 분석과 수업 만족도를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 인공지능에 대한 이해와 인공지능 효능감이 향상된 것으로 확인하였고, 수업 만족도는 교육 내용, 수업에 대한 재미, 수업의 난이도, 인공지능에 대한 흥미 등 모든 항목에서 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 중등 학생 대상 인공지능 교육을 위한 시사점을 제안하였다.
