Abstract

This study was conducted as a study on the SW career education of students from underprivileged areas, which is a necessary condition for SW education to become a universal education or where research has not been conducted. Therefore, this study conducted a SW career selection model using structural equations for 2,231 students in grades 3 to 6 in 6 schools located in the marginalized areas of eup/myeon. As a result of the study, it was analyzed that the intrinsic SW learning motive of students from underprivileged areas did not affect their SW career choice, whereas the external SW learning motive was analyzed to affect their SW career choice. This is inferred that the intrinsic SW learning motive does not affect the SW career choice due to the lack of SW experience of students in underprivileged areas. The correlation between internal and external SW learning motivation was analyzed to be significant. In the future, as students from the underprivileged class have more SW education experiences, research should be conducted on how internal SW learning motives affect SW career choice and how external SW learning motives support internal SW learning motives.

본 연구는 SW교육이 보편적 교육이 되기 위한 필요조건이나 연구가 미진한 소외지역 학생들의 SW진로 교육에 대한 연구이다. 읍·면 교육 소외지역에 위치한 6개 학교, 3~6학년 2,231명을 대상으로 구조방정식을 활용한 SW진로 선택 모형 연구를 하였다. 연구 결과 교육 소외지역 학생들의 내적 SW학습 동기는 SW진로 선택에 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 분석된 반면, 외적 SW학습 동기는 SW진로 선택에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 교육 소외지역 학생들의 SW경험이 부족하여 내적 SW학습 동기가 SW진로 선택에까지는 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 추론된다. 내·외적 SW학습 동기의 상관관계는 유의한 것으로 분석되었다. 향후 소외계층 학생들이 SW교육 경험이 많아짐에 따라 내적 SW학습 동기가 SW진로 선택에 영향을 주는 부분, 외적 SW학습 동기가 내적 SW학습 동기를 어떻게 지원하는가에 대한 부분에 대한 연구가 진행되어야 한다.
