Abstract

Software education is drawing attention as an education for fostering future talents who will lead the 4th industrial revolution. The purpose of software education for everyone from kinder to adults is not simply to develop programming skills, but to develop "Computational Thinking," a problem-solving ability that effectively solves real-world problems based on computing. Therefore, how to cultivate and evaluate computational thinking is a very important issue. This paper proposed a method of applying a process-based performance evaluation method to evaluate computational thinking ability in the process of solving learners' problems. The developed contents were revised and supplemented through two Delphi surveys by a group of experts consisting of five university professors and five incumbent information teachers majoring in computer science and computer education to verify the effectiveness of the final model. I hope This paper can contribute to the study of evaluating computer thinking ability from the perspective of problem solving.

소프트웨어 교육은 4차 산업혁명을 이끌 미래인재 양성을 위한 교육으로 주목받고 있다. 유아부터 성인까지 모두를 위한 소프트웨어 교육의 목적은 단순히 프로그래밍 능력을 기르는 것이 아닌, 컴퓨팅을 기반으로 현실 세계의 문제를 효과적으로 해결해 나가는 문제 해결 능력인 '컴퓨팅 사고력'을 기르는 것이다. 따라서 어떻게 컴퓨팅 사고력을 함양하고 평가할 것인가는 매우 중요한 사안이다. 본 논문은 학습자가 문제를 해결하는 과정에서 과정중심 수행평가 방식을 적용하여 컴퓨팅 사고력을 평가하는 방식을 제안하였다. 개발된 내용은 컴퓨터과학·컴퓨터교육 전공의 대학 교수 5인, 컴퓨터과학·컴퓨터교육 전공 현직 정보교사 5인으로 구성된 전문가 집단의 2차에 걸친 델파이 조사를 통해 수정·보완하여 최종 모델의 타당성을 검증하였다. 본 논문이 문제 해결 관점에서 컴퓨팅 사고력을 평가하기 위한 연구에 기여할 수 있기를 기대한다.
