This study evaluated the engineering students' ethical sensitivity to an AI emotion recognition robot scenario and explored its characteristics. For data collection, 54 students (27 majoring in Convergence Electronic Engineering and 27 majoring in Computer Software) were asked to list five factors regarding the AI robot scenario. For the analysis of ethical sensitivity, it was checked whether the students acknowledged the AI ethical principles in the AI robot scenario, such as safety, controllability, fairness, accountability, and transparency. We also categorized students' levels as either informed or naive based on whether or not they infer specific situations and diverse outcomes and feel a responsibility to take action as engineers. As a result, 40.0% of students' responses contained the AI ethical principles. These include safety 57.1%, controllability 10.7%, fairness 20.5%, accountability 11.6%, and transparency 0.0%. More students demonstrated ethical sensitivity at a naive level (76.8%) rather than at the informed level (23.2%). This study has implications for presenting an ethical sensitivity evaluation tool that can be utilized professionally in educational fields and applying it to engineering students to illustrate specific cases with varying levels of ethical sensitivity.

정보화 역기능 현상에 대한 근본적인 대처 방안은 사용자의 정보 윤리적 관점에서 다각적으로 침해 사고에 대해 예측하고 평가하여 정보화 사회가 인간 중심의 바람직한 사회가 될 수 있도록 건전한 윤리 의식을 확립하는 것이다. 하지만, 현재의 정보통신윤리교육은 교육 목표와 내용에 있어서 균형성을 상실하여, 역기능 측면에만 치우치고, 학습자인 학생에게 자율적으로 선택하여 행동할 수 있는 능력을 키워주기보다는 일방적으로 설정된 내용을 전수하는 학습 형태를 벗어나지 못하고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 정보통신윤리교육에 대한 자기주도적 학습 방법을 웹 기반에서 적용될 수 있는 학습 콘텐츠 모형을 구현한다. 이를 위해 웹 콘텐츠를 이용하여 학습자 스스로가 개별 학습을 수행할 수 있고, 학습내용에 대한 보충 심화 반복 등의 자기주도적인 학습이 가능하도록 설계하였다.

The purpose of this study is to develop the Artificial Intelligence thinking-based education program for improving AI literacy and verify its effectiveness for beginner. This program consists of 17 sessions, was designed according to the "ABCDE" model and is a project-based program. This program was conducted on 51 first-year middle school students and 36 respondents excluding missing values were analyzed in R language. The effect of this program on ethics, understanding, social competency, execution plan, data literacy, and problem solving of AI literacy is statistically significant and has very large practical significance. According to the result of this study, this program provided learners experiencing Artificial Intelligence education for the first time with Artificial Intelligence concepts and principles, collection and analysis of information, and problem-solving processes through application in real life, and served as an opportunity to enhance AI literacy. In addition, education program to enhance AI literacy should be designed based on AI thinking.

현재의 인터넷은 엄청난 속도와 흡수성을 가진 채로 우리들의 생활에 스며들어 왔다. 인터넷은 효율성과 생산성, 오락성의 편익을 제공하는 반면, 익명성과 비대면성이라는 매체의 특성으로 인해 이를 악용한 인터넷 윤리의식이 심각한 사회문제가 제기되고 있다. 이에 인터넷으로 인한 부작용을 예방하고 보다 인간중심의 인터넷 문화를 만들기 위한 인터넷 윤리교육의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 인터넷 윤리의식을 고취시키기 위한방법으로 미디어 리터러시를 제안한다. 기존에는 인터넷의 역기능들을 방지하기 위한 방법으로 차단을 시키거나 사용하지 못하게 하는 부정적 방법을 이용하였으나, 미디어 리터러시를 적용함으로써 인터넷을 올바로 이해하고 느끼게 하여 긍정적인 사고를 가지게 하여 근원적인 예방을 함으로써 인터넷 윤리의식을 고취시키고자 하였다.

This study classified domestic and international systems by type, presenting their key features and examples, with the aim of outlining future directions for system development and research. AI-based learning assistance systems can be categorized into instructional-learning evaluation types and academic recommendation types, depending on their purpose. Instructional-learning evaluation types measure learners' levels through initial diagnostic assessments, provide customized learning, and offer adaptive feedback visualized based on learners' misconceptions identified through learning data. Academic recommendation types provide personalized academic pathways and a variety of information and functions to assist with overall school life, based on the big data held by schools. Based on these characteristics, future system development should clearly define the development purpose from the planning stage, considering data ethics and stability, and should not only approach from a technological perspective but also sufficiently reflect educational contexts.

This study investigates the performance of accreditation programs for engineering education in Korea using questionnaire. The survey includes workers who graduated the accreditation programs, supervisors of the workplace of the graduates, and professors or related persons of the universities. Overall the results shows that related three groups of individuals evaluates the program positively. The accreditation programs have positive effect on the labor market entrance and performances in the workplace estimated by earnings. Compared with major courses, courses of liberal arts and social science needs revision to have more positive response from graduates and employers. Also the program has to give more attention to strengthen the competencies related to professionals and ethics related with job, and adjustment in the work environment.

The purpose of this study is to survey on the engineer's sense of value. For this, we analyzed the ethic code of the engineer relation groups and executed the survey of consulting committee. The subjects of analysis were six associations related to engineer, and analysis of the ethics was done on the basis of 'four levels of engineer's ethics or sense of value'. The subjects of survey were 57 professions. The ethic code shows the most important engineer's sense of value is dignity maintenance, development of individual and social welfare as well as public service. The survey shows the most important sense of value when engineer make decisions at the present is practicality and economical efficiency. And it shows the most important sense of value when engineer make decisions in the future is practicality and economical efficiency.

This study explores the effects of an SSI-based program focused on character and values for engineering college students. The participants were fifty-four students enrolled in the program. Data sources include the students' responses to the Likert-type questionnaire on character and values as well as qualitative data such as classroom dialogues, assignment essays and field notes. The results indicate that the program significantly contributed to the enhancement of the engineering college students' perception of character and values, especially in the sub-components, sustainable development, perspective-taking, and willingness to act. In addition, the qualitative data reveals the nuances of the students' responses in the classroom dialogue and essays related to the sub-components. Based on the results, the author compares the participants' responses to other students in previous research which reported the effects of an SSI-based program on character and values. Compared to the other students, the engineering students in this study cultivated willingness to act through the SSI-based program, without improvement in most of the emotional aspects of character and values.

정보통신에 관련된 영역들은 매우 빠른 속도로 발전해 오고 있다. 하지만 이에 비해 정보에 관련한 의식과 윤리는 그 속도와 발전을 따라가지 못하는 지체 현상을 보이고 있다. 특히, 성장기의 청소년들이 인터넷 중독증상을 보이며 각종 음란물이나 폭력 게임, 욕설과 바이러스에 무차별적으로 노출되어 있으며, 혼자만의 밀폐된 공간의 사이버 중독 환자들이 증가하는 추세에 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 고교에서 발생하는 사이버 중독문제와 이에 연관된 정보통신윤리교육 문제를 다루고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 광주지역 고등학생들의 정보통신 윤리 교육의 실태를 분석하고, 이를 토대로 바람직한 지도 방법을 연구해 보고자 한다.

현실세계의 기본이 되는 사회규범 및 윤리교육이 있듯이 인터넷 기반의 사이버 세계에서도 윤리교육을 필요로 하는데, 이에 대한 교육 및 대처가 많이 부족하다. 특히, 국내외의 경우, 반복적인 학습이나 다양한 매체를 통해 일괄적으로 제시하는 방법을 통해 인터넷윤리교육을 진행하고 있으나, 체계적인 방법론을 제시하고 있지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 스마트폰 기반의 스토리텔링 기법을 통한 새로운 인터넷윤리 교육방법을 제시하고자 한다. 특히, 기존 방법과 달리 새로운 인증프로그램, 수준별 맞춤 교육기법, 양방향 커뮤니케이션 기법, 유해정보 인증 방법 등 M-learning 기반으로 적용하여 효율적이고 구체적인 교육방법을 제시하였다.
