Abstract

As the need for software development manpower increases, various educational programs appear and the popularity of bootcamp style education program for software development increases. However, despite the operations and forms of bootcamp education programs are completely different from the existing software development education programs, there is a lack of research in understanding bootcamp as a software education program. Therefore, this study tried to derive the core elements of the education program through a case study on bootcamp software developer education program. After conducting interviews of 7 members who have completed a series of bootcamp software developer education program X, seven characteristics of bootcamp-type software development education program were derived: intensive theory education, sense of growth and achievement, team project-based learning, community characteristics, peer pressure, stress and fatigue due to short-term learning, and contact-free specialty. Based on the derived characteristics, the advantages and improvements of bootcamp-type education were described, and the direction of the bootcamp-type education program for software developer was discussed.

소프트웨어 개발 인력의 필요성이 높아지면서, 다양한 교육 프로그램들이 등장하고 있으며, 그 중 신병캠프를 의미하는 부트캠프(bootcamp) 스타일의 교육 프로그램의 인기가 두드러지고 있다. 하지만 기존의 소프트웨어 개발 교육 프로그램들과는 운영 방식이나 형태가 완전히 다름에도 불구하고, 교육 프로그램으로써 부트캠프를 분석한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 부트캠프형 소프트웨어 개발자 교육에 대한 사례 연구를 통해 해당 교육 프로그램의 주요 요소를 도출하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 A사의 부트캠프 프로그램 X의 수료자 7명을 대상으로 인터뷰를 진행한 뒤, 부트캠프형 교육의 7가지 특징을 도출하였다. 집중 이론 교육, 성장과 성취감, 팀 프로젝트 기반 학습, 커뮤니티 특성, 집단 압력, 피로도와 압박감, 비대면 특수성. 도출한 특징을 바탕으로 부트캠프형 교육의 장점과 개선점에 대해 기술하고, 부트캠프형 소프트웨어 개발자 교육이 나아갈 방향에 대해 논하였다.
