Abstract

This study analyzes the results of a survey based on classes conducted in the field to understand the educational needs of learners, and reflects the elements necessary for SW education. In this study, various experimental elements according to learning motivation and learning achievement were constructed and designed through previous studies. As a survey applied to this study, experimental elements in three categories: Faculty Competences(FC), Learner Competences(LC), and Educational Conditions(EC) were analyzed by primary area and secondary major, respectively. As a result of analyzing CT-based SW education by area, the development of educational materials, understanding of lectures, and teaching methods showed high satisfaction, while communication with students, difficulty of lectures, and the number of students were relatively low. The results of the analysis by major were found to be more difficult and less interesting in the humanities than in the engineering field. In this study, Based on these statistical results proposes the need for non-major SW education to improve into an interesting curriculum for effective liberal arts education in the future in terms of enhancing learners' problem-solving skills.

본 연구는 학습자의 교육적 요구를 파악하기 위해 현장에서 이루어진 수업을 바탕으로 설문조사 결과를 분석하여 SW 교육에 필요한 요소를 반영하기 위한 것이다. 본 연구에서는 선행연구를 통해 학습 동기와 학습 성취도에 따른 다양한 실험적 요소를 구성하고 설계하였다. 본 연구에 적용한 설문조사로 교수자 역량(FC), 학습자 역량(LC), 교육 여건(EC)의 3가지 부문의 실험적 요소를 1차 영역별, 2차 전공 계열별로 각각 분석하였다. CT 기반의 SW 교육을 영역별로 분석한 결과 교육자료 개발, 강의에 대한 이해, 교수방법은 만족도가 높게 나타난 반면, 수강생과의 소통, 강의의 난이도, 수강 인원은 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다. 전공별로 분석한 결과는 인문 계열에서 공학 계열보다 어렵고 흥미가 떨어지는 것으로 결과가 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 통계적 결과를 바탕으로 학습자의 문제해결 능력 향상 측면에서 향후 효과적인 교양교육을 위하여 흥미로운 교과과정으로 비전공 SW 교육이 개선되어야 할 필요성을 제시한다.
