In order to overcome the limitations of the instructor-centered lecture-style teaching method, recently, flipped learning, a learner-centered teaching method, has been widely introduced. However, despite the many advantages of flipped learning, there is a problem that students cannot solve questions that arise during prior learning in real time. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, we developed DBbot, an assistant chatbot for database design course managed in the flipped learning method. The DBBot is composed of a chatbot app for learners and a chatbot management app for instructors. Also, it's implemented so that questions that instructors can anticipate in advance, such as questions related to class operation and every semester repeated questions related to learning content, can be answered using Google's DialogFlow. It's implemented so that questions that the instructor cannot predict in advance, such as questions related to team projects, can be answered using the question/answer DB and the BM25 algorithm, which is a similarity comparison algorithm.

Recently, with an emphasis on software proficiency, universities are providing software education to all students regardless of their majors. However, non-majors often lack motivation for software education and perceive the unfamiliar learning content as more challenging. To address this issue, tailored software education according to the learners' characteristics is essential. Art students, for instance, with their strong visual comprehension and expressive abilities, can benefit from utilizing visual literacy to enhance the effectiveness of programming education. In this study, we propose decomposing everyday problems into flowcharts and pseudocode to construct procedural and visual images. Using the educational programming language PlayBot, we aim to analyze the effectiveness of teaching by coding to solve problems. Through this approach, students are expected to grasp programming concepts, understand problem-solving processes through computational thinking, and acquire skills to apply programming in their respective fields.

This study is to clarify how college students think about quality computer classes. Q methodology is applied to extract the subjective thinking of college students. After extracting the statements through students' interviews and advanced study, the 54 Q samples were selected. The P sample consisted of 50 college students. They performed Q sort against the Q sample questionnaire. The Q sort results were analyzed by performing QUANL program. As a result of the analysis, four types of perceptions of quality computer classes based on college students' ideas were extracted. There were no differences between male and female students, but there was a clear difference between general college and teacher's college students by type. The types were divided into four categories which we named as follows: is 'Value change-oriented class through creative problem-solving', is 'Improving computer application skills through the learner's competition', is 'Improving advanced computer technology with programming skills' and is 'Learner centered pleasant class'.

창의성은 21세기 지식기반 정보사회를 살아가는 현대인에게 정보홍수에서 새로운 정보를 재창조하는 중요한 능력이다. 그리고, 디지털미디어는 현대인들의 가장 빠르고 쉽게 생각이나 느낌을 표현하는 도구이다. 현 교육현장에서는 학습자의 창의성과 문제해결력 신장을 위해 디지털미디어를 활용한 이미지와 영상을 투입하고 있다. 하지만, 본 연구는 교수자의 입장에서 디지털미디어를 활용한 교수학습자료를 투입하는 것이 아닌, 학습자 스스로가 디지털미디어를 활용하여 자신의 생각을 창의성있게 표현하는데 중점을 두었다. 특히, 디지털미디어 중에서 디지털카메를 활용하여 초등학교 5학년 국어과에서 적합한 학습차시를 선택하여 학습자의 창의력 신장을 위한 수업을 설계하여 적용해 보기로 하였다.

최근 컴퓨터 교육이 일반적인 방향이나 내용은 컴퓨터를 학문적으로 접근하는 '컴퓨터에 관한 교육'보다는 '컴퓨터를 자료로 도구적으로 활용하여 창의력과 문제 해결력을 높여주는 방향'으로 나아가고 있다. 이러한 관점은 실생활에 맞는 교육과정, 학습 수용자 중심의 과정과도 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있다. 특히 제7차 교육과정부터는 전교과에 20%이상 정보통신기술(ICT)을 활용하여 교수-학습하도록 하고 있다. 본 연구는 각종 연구 자료를 기초로 여러 연구 기관의 자료를 활용하여 교육의 내용과 방법, 교육의 형태를 다양화하고 개선해 나가는 교수-학습 방법 유형에 대하여 알아보았다. 그리고 그 유형을 적용한 교수학습 과정안을 수업에 적용 후 설문 조사 및 분석을 하였다.
