초록

과거 프로그래밍은 컴퓨팅 관련 전공자들을 대상으로 일부의 학생들이 배우는 과목이었으나, 오늘날 소프트웨어 중심 산업이 도래함에 따라 컴퓨팅사고 교육과 함께 컴퓨팅 문제 해결의 도구로서 모든 전공 분야의 학생들에게 교육이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 컴퓨팅 입문 과목을 필수로 이수해야 하는 학습자들은 익숙하지 않은 컴퓨팅 문제 해결 방식과 프로그래밍 언어라는 새로운 내용에 학습에 큰 어려움을 겪으며 학습 효과, 자신감, 흥미 저하와 같은 부정적인 현상으로 이어질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 비전공자들이 프로그래밍 언어 과목을 학습하면서 겪는 어려움의 원인을 설문 조사, 일지 및 성취도를 질적 및 양적 연구로 분석하여 파악하고, 이를 최소화할 수 있도록 방안을 제시하여 향후 어려움을 최소화하는 교육 방안의 설계에 도움이 되고자 한다.

In the past, computer programming was a course taken by students of computing domain majors. With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution, students in all major fields are taking it as the general required course. However, students have difficulties in learning new subject such as unfamiliar computational problem solving approach and general purposed programming language, which can lead to negative phenomena such as learning effectiveness, confidence, and decreased interest. In this paper, the causes of difficulties experienced by non-majors students while learning programming language are analyzed and identified through qualitative and quantitative research on questionnaires, journals, and achievements. Thus, we suggest that designing an educational plan that minimizes difficulties.
