Abstract

In the field of education, the competence of teachers is absolutely important. In particular, the quality of teachers in SW·AI education has a direct impact on students' successful learning experience and the success or failure of education. Therefore, in order for SW·AI education to succeed, a strategy to improve teachers' competencies is needed. The Ministry of Education is making various efforts to improve the SW·AI education capabilities of preservice teachers. For the purpose of improving the SW·AI education competency of preservice teachers, the SW·AI Edu-thon competition has been held steadily since 2016. For the purpose of analyzing the effectiveness of the SW·AI Edu-thon, this study surveyed prospective teachers about their SW·AI teaching efficacy before and after participating in the SW·AI Edu-thon. As a result of the study, it was analyzed that the SW·AI Edu-thon Contest had a positive effect on the improvement of pre-service teachers' teaching efficacy. Therefore, the SW·AI Edu-thon has a positive effect on the improvement of preservice teachers' SW·AI education competency.

교육현장에서 교사의 역량은 절대적으로 중요하다고 할 수 있다. SW·AI교육에서 교사의 질은 학생의 성공적인 학습경험과 교육의 성패에 직접적인 영향을 미치고 있다. 따라서 SW·AI교육이 교육현장에 안착되기 위해서는 교사의 역량을 향상시키는 전략이 필요하고, 교육부에서는 예비교사의 SW·AI교육역량을 향상시키기 위한 다양한 노력을 기울이고 있다. SW·AI에듀톤(Edu-ton) 대회는 예비교사의 SW·AI교육역량을 향상시키 위한 구체적인 노력의 일환으로 2016년도 이후부터 지금까지 꾸준히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 SW·AI에듀톤 대회의 효과성을 분석하기 위한 목적으로 예비교사를 대상으로 SW·AI교수효능감을 SW·AI에듀톤 대회 참여시와 종료시에 걸쳐서 설문하였다. 연구결과, SW·AI에듀톤 대회가 예비교사의 교수효능감의 향상에 긍정적인 도움을 준것으로 분석되어 예비교사의 SW·AI교육 역량의 향상에 의미가 있음을 보여주었다.
