  • 정보교과는 컴퓨터과학적 지식과 기술의 탐구와 더불어 실생활의 문제 해결을 위해 새로운 지식과 기술을 창출하고 이를 통합적으로 적용하는 능력과 태도를 함양하는 교과이다. 2015 개정 교육과정에서 정보교과의 교과역량 중 하나가 협력적 문제해결력이다. 정보교육을 통하여 배울 수 있는 프로그래밍 분야에서 강조하는 역량 역시 협력이다. 본 연구는 정보교과의 관점에서 협력적 문제해결력 측정 방식을 깃허브, 스택오버플로우의 사례와 PISA, ATC21S의 평가사례를 비교하고자 한다. 협업을 통한 더 나은 결과물을 도출해내는 프로그래밍의 과정을 통하여 협력적 문제해결력을 살펴볼 수 있는 토대를 마련하는데 의의가 있다.

  • Problem solving by programming has a lot of influence on computational thinking improvement. Programming learning has been self-directed based on the individual's thoughts and principles. However, the revised informatics curriculum in 2015 puts importance on collaborative learning. Collaborative learning emphasizes results differently from cooperative learning, which emphasizes problem-solving processes. And cooperative learning leads to structured learning, such as role sharing and activity stages, within a small group, while collaborative learning leads to unstructured learning. Therefore, it is becoming more in collaborative learning that peer interaction can be affected by learners' cognitive style. In this paper, we propose the effect of cognitive style on problem solving ability in collaborative learning for problem solving by programming. As a result, collaborative learning was effective in improving problem solving ability and there was no significant difference in cognitive style.

  • 본 연구에서는 비 정보과 교사들의 효과적인 SW 교육 교수효능감 함양을 위하여 팀 프로젝트 기반 융합 교육 프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발된 교육 내용은 융합교육 및 팀 프로젝트에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 수학, 과학, 정보 등이 융합된 다양한 프로젝트를 실습한 뒤, 직접 문제 해결을 위한 프로젝트의 설계 및 개발과 발표, 동료 평가 및 피드백의 과정으로 구성되어 있다. 이는 10주간 비 정보과 교사들에게 처치되었고, 사전-사후 t-검정 결과, 통계적으로 유의한 향상을 나타내었다. 하지만 본 연구의 실험은 단일집단을 대상으로 하였기 때문에 추후 통제집단과의 비교를 통하여 향상에 대한 통계적 비교가 필요로 된다.

  • In this paper, inquisitive tendency was analyzed within the 'problem solving method and process' section in high school informatics textbooks, which were adopted starting from 2011. Romey analysis was applied to each four section - text, data, activity, evaluation - in six textbooks. The results showed that the textbooks displayed a low level of inquisitive tendency since they were written without much of participation from students. Out of the sections that were analyzed, the section 'activity' showed the highest degree of inquisitive tendency. Also, based on the obtained results, we proposed ways to improve high school informatics textbooks.

  • The 2015 revised educational curricula focused on creative and convergent student education, so the importance of informatics education is arising along with emphases on its teaching and learning methods. This study has analyzed the research trend of teaching and learning methods and suggested their implications by selecting 179 studies of same keyword searching from 2000 to the present years and classifying them into 16 categories. This analysis showed that problem based learning was the most researched topic on these subjects, while unplugged learning, Creative Problem Solving model and peer teaching were among the actively studied topics. In the content domain of informatics curriculum, the problem solution and programming was most researched. This study is expected to suggest implications for not only studying informatics education research but also selecting teaching and learning methods in the field of class for teachers.

  • Abstract In informatics subject, a good understanding of information representation and the structure of materials is the first step to acquire the basic principles of computer science. But few studies have ever focused on the educational significance of the structure of materials in informatics subject or how to organize materials in a manner to stimulate students to introspect. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the 'information representation and management' sections of informatics textbooks of the revised 2007 curriculum that have been in use since 2010 had an inquiry tendency or not. As a result of analyzing the textbooks by utilizing Romey method, one textbook was found to have an inquiry tendency in terms of texts, figures/diagrams, activities and questions at the end of chapters. If textbooks are just organized to convey knowledge, it might result in making students less interactive in class. Specifically, informatics is a subject to teach basic problem-solving skills by using IT, and the findings of the study suggest that students who get less interactive in class are likely to have less chances to learn about how to solve the given problems in diverse ways.

  • In this research, one common chapter, Problem Solving and Programming, in seven different types of high school informatics textbooks was analyzed in terms of the aspect of learners' explorations. These textbooks were newly developed based on the 2015 revised national curriculum. Romey's analysis was used to the textbooks along with four analytic elements: texts, data, activities, and evaluation. The study results showed that the textbooks can highly encourage learners' further explorations according to the four analytic elements reflected in the seven textbooks: one out of the six textbooks well designed for texts, three for data, six for activities, two for evaluation. In terms of Romey's involvement index points, six of the seven textbooks had low indexes of texts, ranging from 0.175 to 0.393. Data indexes were extremely low in four out of the seven textbooks, ranging from 0.058 to 0.226. Five out of the seven textbooks had very high indexes of evaluation in the broad range of 2 to 6.333 points. Furthermore, these newly designed textbooks can more greatly facilitate students' explorations than previously existing textbooks in three elements: texts, data, and activities. Evaluation indexes significantly increased in these new textbooks from 0.916 to 3.914, which had excessive points in terms of promoting students' explorations. Further methods to improve the textbook quality is proposed based on the results from this analysis.

  • 본 논문에서는 초등학교 정보교육의 실태를 교육 과정적 측면에서 살펴보고, 국내 정보교육의 큰 문제점이라고 할 수 있는 교육 과정 부재의 문제를 극복하고자 CSTA K-12 기준안을 분석하여 정보교육의 체계성을 확보하고 더 나아가 정보교육과정을 수립을 위한 기초 연구를 진행하고자 하였다. 초등학교 정보교육의 근거가 될 수 있는 2007년, 2009년 개정 초등학교 교육과정, 2005년 초 중등학교 정보통신기술교육 운영지침의 정보 관련 부분을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 정보교육의 필요성을 강조하는 세계적 추세에도 불구하고 국가 수준의 교육과정은 시수 및 교사의 확보, 콘텐츠의 체계성 면에서 이러한 흐름을 반영하고 있지 못하다는 결론을 도출하였으며, 이의 극복 방안으로 컴퓨터 과학의 최근의 추세를 반영하고 있는 CSTA K-12 기준안을 통하여 국내의 정보교육 활동을 체계화하고 교육과정을 수립하기 위한 근거를 제시하고자 하였다.

  • The informatics computer teacher appointment examination is the only national test to measure the competence of educators in teaching students relevant informatics content. The purpose of this study is to provide suggestions and directions for improvement of the informatics computer teacher appointment exam. To this end, we collected appointment exam questions from 2002, when the informatics computer teacher appointment exam first started, to 2017. Based on evaluation areas and evaluation content factors of the indication subject of informatics computer, we built the analysis framework and criteria used in this study. The analysis took into account the revision of basic required courses and changes in the types of exam questions. We analyzed the percentage of points allotted to the subject matter compared to the total number of points, and also the trends of exam questions by school year. The results of the analysis are as follows: first, improvements should be made to avoid concentration in certain areas of the basic required courses of the informatics computer subject. Second, the discrepancy between the exam and the curriculum of basic required courses must be addressed to properly teach and evaluate preliminary teachers. It is significant that this study serves as a stepping stone in supplying highly competent teachers to the field through improving the informatics computer teacher appointment examination.

  • An important element to consider in information subjects is problem solving skills. It is problem solving skills that emphasize "practical usage of learning" in which knowledge of information subjects is integrated along with the cross curricular characteristics of the information subjects. What is usually considered paramount in a subject is knowledge, so the question is, should problem solving be considered more important in information subjects? This study discusses the foundation of subjects based on knowledge in information science, and the specifics of the 2014 amendment to the U.K. curriculum. And based on the core subjects of the U.K. curriculum, this study also offers educational implications as to how knowledge and problem solving skills should be discussed.
