Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of software education based on physical computing on the CT ability of elementary school students. To this end, previous studies related to physical computing software education and software education in the 2015 revised curriculum were analyzed. In addition, COBL was selected among many physical computing tools on the market in consideration of the level and characteristics of learners in the school to conduct the study, and 'Professor Lee Jae-ho's AI Maker Coding with COBL' was used as the textbook. This study was conducted for 10 sessions on 135 students in 6 classes in 6th grade of H Elementary School located in Pyeongtaek, Gyeong gi-do. The results of this study are as follows. First, it was confirmed that physical computing software education linked to real life was effective in improving the CT ability of elementary school students. Second, the change in competency of CT ability by sector improved evenly from 8 to 30 points in the pre-score and post-score of computing thinking ability. Third, in this study, it was confirmed that 87% of students were very positive as a result of a survey of satisfaction with classes after real-life physical computing software education. We hope that follow-up studies will help select various regions across cities and rural areas, and prove that real-life physical computing software education for various learner members, including large and small schools, will help elementary school students improve their CT ability.

본 연구는 피지컬 컴퓨팅을 기반한 소프트웨어 교육이 초등학생의 컴퓨팅 사고력에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위하여 피지컬 컴퓨팅 소프트웨어 교육 관련 선행연구와 2015 개정 교육과정의 소프트웨어 교육을 분석하였다. 그리고 연구를 진행할 학교의 학습자 수준과 특성 등을 고려하여 시중에 많은 피지컬 컴퓨팅 도구 중에서 코블을 선정하였으며, 교재는 '코블과 함께하는 AI메이커 코딩'을 사용하였다. 이를 경기도 평택에 소재한 H 초등학교 6학년 6개 학급 135명을 대상으로 10차시 동안 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 실생활 연계 피지컬 컴퓨팅 소프트웨어 교육이 초등학생의 컴퓨팅 사고력을 향상시키는데 효과적이었음이 확인되었다. 둘째, 컴퓨팅 사고력의 부문별 역량 변화는 고루 향상되었다. 셋째, 본 연구에서 수업 적용 후 학생들의 설문 및 인터뷰 결과 실생활 연계 피지컬 컴퓨팅 소프트웨어 교육 후 수업에 대한 만족도가 매우 긍정적임을 확인할 수 있었다. 도시와 농촌을 아우르는 다양한 지역 선정과 대규모 학교와 소규모 학교 등 다양한 학습자 구성원을 대상으로 실생활 연계 피지컬 컴퓨팅 소프트웨어 교육이 초등학생의 컴퓨팅 사고력 향상에 도움이 된다는 것을 증명할 수 있는 후속 연구가 진행되기를 바란다.
