Abstract

This study aims to develop an educational game that combines block coding and metacognitive education to help students learn coding effectively, given the increasing importance of coding education in the Fourth Industrial Revolution era. By utilizing the advantages of block coding, the study aims to facilitate natural coding learning and apply metacognitive elements to improve the learning process and student competence. Future plans include incorporating feedback from middle school student interviews to expand and supplement the study's findings. The game developed in this study is expected to be used as an actual coding education tool and as an auxiliary educational material for textbooks both inside and outside the school.

본 연구는 4차 산업혁명 시대에 있어 코딩 교육의 중요성이 상승하고 있는 상황에서 학생들이 흥미롭고 효과적으로 코딩을 학습할 수 있는 중학교 교과서를 반영한 블록 코딩과 메타인지 교육이 결합된 교육용 게임 개발에 대한 연구이다. 블록 코딩의 장점을 활용하여 학생들이 코딩을 자연스럽게 학습할 수 있도록 하고, 메타인지 요소의 적용을 통해 학습 과정을 자가 평가하고 개선할 수 있도록 하여, 학생들의 역량 향상을 지원하고자 하였다. 향후에는 중학생을 대상으로 진행한 사용자 인터뷰 내용을 반영하여 본 연구의 결과를 확장하고 보완할 예정이며, 본 연구에서 개발된 게임은 실제 코딩 교육 도구로써 학교 내외에서 교과서의 보조 교육 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
