Abstract

Recently, there has been a growing demand for school libraries to take on the role of curriculum convergence and content development. This study purposed to develop a program that integrates reading activities and artificial intelligence (AI) education in a middle school library as a platform for convergence education. The program aimed to enhance creative problem-solving skills by integrating an understanding of AI concepts and principles through reading activities related to AI topics. The program, comprising 18 sessions (6 modules), was implemented with 36 first-year students at A Middle School, Gyeonggi-do, in 2022. After implementation, a paired-sample t-test revealed significant improvements in AI learning self-efficacy and creative problem-solving skills. Participants also showed positive attitudes toward class engagement and reading activities. Implications for AI convergence education in connection with school libraries were discussed.

최근 학교도서관은 교과융합수업을 실행하고 수업 콘텐츠를 개발하는 역할을 요구받고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 융합교육 플랫폼의 역할이 가능하도록 학교도서관의 독서 활동과 인공지능 교육을 융합한 프로그램을 개발하고 중학교 수업에 적용한 후, 결과를 분석하였다. 프로그램은 인공지능 주제와 연관된 독서 활동을 통해서 인공지능의 개념과 원리를 이해하고, 인공지능 교육용 도구를 활용하여 생활 속 문제 상황을 창의적으로 해결하는 창의적 문제해결 함양을 목표로 하였다. 프로그램은 총 18차시(6회기)로 개발하였고, 2022학년도 경기도 A중학교의 학교도서관 자유학기 주제선택 수업에 참여하는 1학년 36명을 대상으로 적용하였다. 교육 프로그램 적용 후, 사전-사후 차이를 대응표본 t-test로 수행한 결과, 인공지능 학습에 대한 자기효능감과 창의적 문제해결력이 유의하게 향상되었다. 또한 프로그램을 수강한 학습자의 수업 태도와 독서 태도가 긍정적으로 나타났다. 연구 결과를 토대로 학교도서관과 연계한 인공지능 융합교육에 대한 시사점을 논의하였다.
