Abstract

This study aimed to analyze AI research trends related to elementary, middle, and high school education. To this end, the related literature was collected from the SCOPUS database and the publication period of the collected literature was from 1974 to March 2021, with 154 journal papers and 571 conference papers. Research trends were analyzed based on the co-occurrences analysis technique of 4,521 words of author keyword and index keyword included in these papers. As a result of the analysis, big data, data mining, data science and deep learning were found as the latest research trends with machine learning and there was a difference between elementary, middle and high school education. It can be seen that elementary school had a lot of robot-related research, middle school had a lot of game and data-related research, and high school had various and in-depth research. In discussion, we mapped the top 50 words common to elementary, middle, and high schools with the 'Artificial Intelligence Basics' curriculum of Korean Government and '5 Big Ideas' of the United States Government so that AI research can be viewed at a glance.

본 연구는 초·중·고 교육분야 인공지능과 관련된 해외 연구동향을 분석하기 위해 SCOPUS 데이터베이스를 대상으로 관련 문헌을 수집하였다. 수집된 문헌의 발행 기간은 1974년부터 2021년 3월까지이며, 학술지 논문이 154건, 컨퍼런스 논문은 571건으로 나타났다. 이들 논문에 포함된 저자 키워드 및 인덱스 키워드 4,521개의 단어들의 동시출현(co-occurrences) 분석기법을 바탕으로 연구 동향을 분석하였다. 분석결과 machine learning을 주축으로 big data, data mining, data science, deep learning이 최신 연구 동향으로 나타났고, 초·중·고등교육 간에는 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 초등은 로봇 관련 연구가 많이 있었으며, 중등은 게임과 데이터 관련 연구가 많이 있었고, 고등은 다양하고 심도 있는 연구가 이루어졌음을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 결과분석에서 우리나라 교육부에서 2020년 9월 발표된 '인공지능 기초' 교육과정과 미국 AK4K12의 '5 Big Ideas'와 초·중·고 공통 상위 50단어와 매핑하여 우리나라 초·중·고 인공지능 교육에 시사점을 제시하였다.
