Abstract

In order for effective informatics education it is premisd that students have digital literacy. But the absence of informatics education for about 10 years has make students have low digital literacy, and as a result, there are many voices in the school field that it is difficult to have a smooth class. Therefore in this study, the elements of digital literacy required to efficiently operate the 2015 middle school informatics curriculum and digital literacy of middle school students was analyzed. As a result, the students showed biased use of the computing devices and software the frequently use. They were inexperienced in using hardware necessary for learning, understanding basic terms for online collaboration, understanding operating systems, information searching, and producing documents. This study is meaningful in that it provides basic data that serves as a guideline for the direction of digital literacy education for effective informatics education.

원활한 정보 교육이 이루어지기 위해서는 학생들이 어느 수준 이상의 디지털 리터러시를 갖추었다는 것을 전제로 한다. 그러나 약 10여년 간 정보 교육의 부재에 따른 학습자의 낮은 디지털 리터러시 수준으로 인해 원활한 수업이 어렵다는 학교 현장의 목소리가 크다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2015 중학교 정보과 교육과정을 원활하게 운영하기 위해 필요한 디지털 리터러시 요소를 분석한 후 중학생들의 디지털 리터러시 수준을 분석하였다. 그 결과 학생들이 자주 사용하는 컴퓨팅 기기와 소프트웨어에 부분적으로 능숙한 편향된 사용을 보였고, 학습에 필요한 하드웨어 사용, 온라인 협업을 위한 기초 용어와 운영체제에 대한 이해, 정보 검색, 생산성을 위한 문서작성 등에는 많이 미숙한 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 효과적인 정보 교육을 위한 디지털 리터러시 교육 방향과 체계적인 교육 내용을 구성하는 가이드라인이 되는 기초적인 자료를 제공한다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
