Abstract

In liberal SW education, nurturing student with creative problem-solving ability based on SW is considered important. The purpose of this study is to design SW education and to investigate the effects on students' computational thinking and creative problem solving abilities. This study designed classes in accordance with convergent project and the CT-CPS model and 38 undergraduate students have participated this study. The questionnaire survey was given to students and analyzed the effectiveness of class. The results of this study were as follows: Fitst, SW education significantly improved computational thinking and creative problem solving ability. Second, computational thinking improve significantly in high and low initial score group and creative problem solving improve significantly in low initial score group. However, creative problem solving ability did not improve significantly in high initial score group. Third, computational thinking improve significantly in all majors and creative problem solving improve significantly in college of natural science. However, creative problem solving ability did not improve significantly in college of humanities and social science. In examining the effects on students' computational thinking and creative problem-solving abilities and verify differences by pre-test and major, this study provides significance in expanding the understanding about the nature liberal SW education.

대학 교양 SW 기초 교육은 SW를 기반으로 일상 생활의 문제를 창의적으로 해결할 수 있는 능력을 기르는 데 중점을 두어야 한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 컴퓨팅사고력, 창의적 문제해결력을 신장시키기 위한 수업을 설계하고, 수업의 효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 A 대학교 학생 38명을 대상으로 융합프로젝트, CT-CPS 모형을 고려하여 SW 기초 교육을 실시하고 그 효과를 분석하였으며, 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, SW 기초 교육을 진행한 후 전체 학생들의 컴퓨팅사고력, 창의적 문제해결력이 유의하게 향상되었다. 둘째, 상위, 하위 집단의 컴퓨팅사고력과 하위 집단의 창의적 문제해결력이 유의하게 향상되었으나, 상위 집단의 창의적 문제해결력은 향상되지 않았다. 셋째, 인문사회계열과 자연과학계열의 컴퓨팅사고력과 자연과학계열의 창의적 문제해결력이 유의하게 향상되었으나, 인문사회계열의 창의적 문제해결력은 향상되지 않았다. 본 연구는, 컴퓨팅사고력, 창의적 문제해결력 신장에 초점을 두어 수업을 설계하고, 수업의 효과를 사전 검사 결과 및 계열에 따라 심층적으로 분석하였다는 점에서 연구의 의의를 찾을 수 있다.
