Rubrics for Assessing the Elementary School Students' Ability to Use ICT

초등학생 ICT 활용능력 평가를 위한 수행평가 척도

The purpose of this paper is to develop and to introduce the rubrics for performance assessment, which can measure elementary school upper graders' ability to use ICT, With a goal of improving their ability to use ICT, the students, who are in the fourth, fifth, six grades, received instructions on the basic skills and knowledge for using the computer during the extracurricular-activity session or the self-directed session after regular classes. In the study, the rubrics were developed on the basis of the 7th national curriculum, and defined respectively assessment criteria and attainment targets for the upper graders. The assessment criteria were set after the researcher determined the most basic and important skills and knowledge that the upper graders should have, and then compared them with the attainment criteria in the national curriculum. Accordingly, the application of the rubrics developed for this study is expected to lessen the burden of elementary school teachers when they implement performance assessment in their classrooms. Finally, using the rubrics, the study assessed elementary school students' ability to use the computer, and showed somewhat limiting but satisfactory results.

본 논문에서는 초등학교 고학년(4,5,6학년)생들에게 ICT 활용능력을 향상시킬 목적으로 재량활동 시간 또는 특별활동 시간에 컴퓨터 소양 및 활용 수업을 받은 뒤 활용능력 정도를 측정해 볼 수 있는 수행평가 척도표를 개발하여 제안하였다. 제안된 평가 척도표는 각 영역별로 초등학교 고학년생들이 반드시 이수해야할 교육내용들을 먼저 국가수준의 기본 컴퓨터교육과정과 비교하여 정리한 뒤 성취기준과 평가기준을 구별하여 기술하였다. 따라서, 개발된 평가척도표를 이용하면 수행평가를 훨씬 쉽게 해결할 수 있다. 개발된 수행평가 척도표를 이용하여 초등학생들에 대한 컴퓨터 활용 능력을 테스트한 결과 다소 제한적이긴 하지만 만족한 수준의 결과를 얻었다.
