본 연구는 H대학에서 비전공자 대상 교양필수 SW 교육과정을 프로그래밍 중심으로 개편한 2015년 이후 3개년도와 이전 3개 년도의 수업만족도에서 차이가 나는가에 대해 비교분석하여 개편 후 비전공자 대상 SW교육과정의 효과성을 파악하고자 한다. H대학은 2015년 교양 SW교육과정을 프로그래밍 중심으로 개편하였다. 개편 전후 수업 만족도의 변화가 있었는가? 라는 연구문제를 기반으로 분석한 결과, 개편 후 3년간 수업만족도는 개편 전 3년보다 높게 나타났으며, 1학기보다는 2학기 교과목들의 수업만족도 편차가 더 크게 나타났다. 1학기 만족도는 유의수준 10%에서 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 2학기 만족도는 유의수준 5%에서 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 개편 후 다양한 프로그래밍 언어 중 선택할 수 있도록 교과과정을 제공한 것이 원인인 것으로 파악된다.

Recently, there is an increasing number of universities in which SW education is operated as a liberal arts education regardless of major. In this paper, the survey is conducted to analysis the factors affecting the non-majors students' perception of the necessity of SW education through a case study of SW liberal arts by gender, college, and SW learning experience. As a result, men, students of social science college, and students with SW learning experience strongly agreed that SW education for non-majors is essential. 'SW education is very helpful in studying my major' was analyzed as a necessary condition of SW education for non-majors. Especially, the difficulty of SW learning did not affect the recognition of the necessity of non-majors SW education. If the SW liberal education is based on the SW technology that helps their major, it will be expected that the improved learning motivation due to majors-relevance will deepen a consensus on SW education.

This study applied effective playful learning to increase the learning motivation of non-CS major students to help them achieve learning and to successfully operate online SW liberal arts classes for 560 students. As a result of analyzing the students' reflection journals, most of the students accepted the 'white radish' of dialect names as fun playful learning in the process of learning local variables and global variables. And they were surprised and amazed at discovering unexpected contents in our SW class. It was found that they experienced delight in learning, learning-flow, confidence, and intrinsic motivation. In the final term exam at the end of the semester, it was confirmed that the correct rate of 92% for questions related to local and global variables was higher than the average rate of other questions' correctness of 67.1%.

In the SW education of non-majors who encounter liberal arts education experience difficulties in the SW development environment and understanding they encounter for the first time, relevance to their major, and convergence thinking ability. In order to compensate for the difficulties of non-major learners in liberal arts education, a relatively easily accessible software was used to utilize a demonstration-oriented model that can be applied to beginners in SW education. In order to understand the logical flow of applications and problem solving used in real life, we proposed a convergence SW teaching method that combines repeated implementation through demonstration by the instructor and imitation of the learner, and learning indicators to increase the learning satisfaction and achievement of the learner. In the experiment applying the teaching and learning method proposed in this paper, meaningful results were shown when evaluating the learning effect, academic achievement, learning satisfaction, and teaching and learning method aspects of SW education.

Recently, there is a strong interest in SW basic education for non-major students in universities, but SW non-majors are having a hard time learning. This paper proposes a class operation method that utilizes customized contents reflecting the interests of non-majors, rather than using existing learning contents for SW majors. The proposed method is to improve the education effects by increasing the learning motivation of SW non-majors. The paper shows a case study of A university, which has operated non-major SW basic education for more than five years. The case study analyzed the change of class satisfaction of students of pre- and post- learning group that reformed major-friendly contents about the same curriculum. As a result, the students of social sciences are interested in learning contents using public data that can examine the social and cultural phenomena of the country, and humanities students are interested in text contents such as novels, history books, and SNS articles. In addition to the understanding of the lectures, the class satisfaction was also greatly improved, and it showed that the major-friendly contents is useful for SW basic education of non-majors.

Given the background of so-called 'the 4th industrial revolution', universities practice computing education for non-majors to equip them with computational thinking(CT). Universities apply different courses but researches analyzing effectiveness of the courses based on CT are limited. This research is conducted to understand a computing course for non-majors is effective in terms of CT. A CT based evaluation framework is designed referring to AP Computer Science Principles. Questionnaires are developed based on the framework and applied to the course participants. As results, students' post scores are significantly higher than pre scores. In addition, there are significant differences in pre-test scores by major category while there is no difference in post-test. Humanity & social science group showed the largest difference between pre and post results with science & engineering and computer in order. In sum, it is found that this course is effective to facilitate students abilities in terms of CT, particularly for the non-computer majors.

본 연구는 IT 비전공 대학생을 위한 코딩교과목 개발을 목표로 한다. 이를 위해 선행연구 및 이론탐색을 통해 대학교양 교과목으로서 코딩교육을 탐색하고, 적용 가능한 수업모형 및 교육내용을 선정하여 기초내용을 구성한 후 3인의 교육공학 전문가와 3인의 코딩교과목 개발 유경험 대학교수를 대상으로 FGI 인터뷰 방법을 통하여 연구결과를 도출한다. 대학교양 교과목으로서 코딩교육의 필요성이 대두되고 있음에도 불구하고 현재 운영 중인 코딩교과목은 프로그래밍이 중심으로 구성되어 비전공 대학생들에게는 환영받지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 코딩교과목의 방향을 컴퓨팅사고 및 SW 기초교육을 목표로 메타버스 등의 플랫폼을 활용한 체험중심 수업설계를 통해, 실행 가능한 수업모형을 개발하고 대상자 인터뷰와 분석을 통해 이를 위한 교수학습방법을 설정할 것이다. 본 연구를 통해 제시될 메타버스 플랫폼을 활용한 체험중심 코딩교육은 이후 고등교육기관의 교딩교육 교과목 개발을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것이다

In order to cultivate talented people who have problem solving ability due to computational thinking according to the trend of the fourth industrial revolution, each university is actively promoting software education. This study suggests that understanding-oriented SW curriculum is needed for non-majors students to improve computational thinking. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, this study designed the basic education program based on the understanding of the SW with the backward design model. The SW Basic Education Program was applied to 15 weeks of instruction and conducted three surveys. The positive effects of the understanding-oriented SW basic education on the computational thinking efficacy and the computer perception were verified. In addition, it was found that the understanding-oriented computational thinking and programming education are effective when they are linked to one process. It is expected that understanding-based SW based education, which uses the backward design model, can be applied as one of the efficient ways to improve computational thinking in the education field.
