Abstract

This paper examines the necessity and direction of digital literacy education as university education in the AI era. Digital literacy can be considered universal education about everyday culture in a digital environment, and its scope is expanding to cultivate the competencies necessary for citizens of a digital society, rather than simply the ability to use digital devices. In this paper, the university liberal arts curriculum has strengthened the information literacy area to reflect the changes of the times, but it is presented as a problem that it is still focused on the technical aspects of learning how to use digital devices and specific programs. It was suggested that the direction of digital literacy education in universities should not be limited to the technical and instrumental aspects of using digital devices, but that it would be desirable to focus on digital ethics considering the social impacts that may arise from the use of digital devices.

본 논문은 AI(: Artificial Intelligence) 시대에 따른 대학 교양교육으로 디지털 리터러시 교육의 필요성과 방향성에 대해 고찰하였다. 디지털 환경에서 일상적인 문화에 대한 보편적인 교육이 바로 디지털 리터러시라고 볼 수 있으며, 단순히 디지털 기기를 사용할 수 있는 능력이 아니라 디지털 사회의 시민에게 필요한 역량들을 함양하는 것으로 범위가 확장되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 대학 교양 교육과정이 시대적 변화를 반영하여 정보 문해 영역을 강화했지만, 아직 디지털 기기 사용 및 특정 프로그램 활용법을 학습하는 기술적인 측면에 편중되어 있음을 문제점으로 제시하고, 대학의 디지털 리터러시 교육의 방향은 디지털 기기 사용의 기술적·도구적 측면에 국한해서는 안되며, 디지털 기기의 사용으로 인해 발생할 수 있는 사회적 영향을 고려한 디지털 윤리에 중점을 둔 방향으로 이뤄지는 것이 바람직할 것이라고 제안하였다.
