Abstract

In the modern artificial intelligence society, the goal of education is to cultivate convergent talents who can adapt well to and lead the artificial intelligence society. The core competency required of convergent future talents is to be able to understand and create software well. In this respect, algorithmic education is very important. Therefore, in this study, an algorithm education program was developed to improve convergent thinking ability. The effectiveness was verified through the paired samples t-test by conducting a pre-post test of convergent thinking ability, and it was found that students' convergent thinking ability was significantly improved in the areas of algorithm knowledge and function.

현대 인공지능사회에 있어서 교육의 목표는 인공지능사회에 잘 적응하는 동시에 변화를 선도할 수 있는 융합형 인재를 양성하는 것이다. 융합형 미래인재에게 요구되는 핵심역량은 소프트웨어를 잘 이해하고 더 나아가 생성해낼 수 있는 것이다. 이러한 측면에서 알고리즘 교육은 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 융합적 사고력 향상을 위한 알고리즘 교육 프로그램을 개발하였다. 또한, 융합적 사고력 사전-사후 검사를 실시하여 대응표본 t-test를 통한 효과성을 검증한 결과, 학생들의 알고리즘 지식, 기능의 영역에서 융합적 사고력이 유의하게 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 알고리즘 교육에 유용하게 사용될 것으로 기대한다.
