Abstract

The objectives of this research are to develop information education framework and derive detail IT curriculums in University Liberal education, which is essential to effective learning all special knowledge and a base skill in university education. In order to achieve these research objectives, first this study theoretically derives three categories of IT education area based on comprehensive review of the previous research including IT Fluency, Information Literacy and Computational Thinking concepts, and explicates concrete items for each category. And then, with respect to each of these items, we empirically investigate the degree of necessity measured by the gap between the required level of knowledge and skills which student should have for effective studying of major curriculum and the present level of them which they really have. Field survey is employed for the data collection: 350 questionnaires are distributed to the students, and 313 questionnaires are collected in useful condition and are analyzed. The findings of this research shows that three dimensions of IT Liberal Education are empirically derived by factor analysis as following: (1) Foundational Concepts of IT, (2) Utilization Capabilities of IT, (3) Intellectual Capabilities of IT. And the results of this study can provide the theoretical basis for constructing the IT education. Also they can be used as a practical guideline in developing and promoting specific University IT education programs in Liberal Education.

본 연구는 대학교육에서 매우 중요한 기반교육인 대학 IT 교양교육에 대한 틀을 제시하고 세부 교육과정을 체계적으로 도출하기 위하여 수행되었다. 이러한 연구목적을 위하여 본 연구에서는 첫째, 정보소양, IT유창성, 컴퓨팅적 사고를 중심으로 한 이론적, 실무적 선행연구에 대한 검토를 토대로 대학에서 필요한 IT 교양교육을 3가지 영역으로 제시하였으며, 세부적으로 6개 하위 영역, 총 31개 교육과정이 도출되었다. 또한, 도출된 세부 교육과정별 현재의 수준과 필요한 교육정도를 각각 실증적으로 측정하고 차이를 분석하였다. 실증분석은 총 350개의 설문이 배부되고 그 중에서 313부가 회수되어 분석에 활용되었다. 연구결과, 정보기술 기본능력 교육, 정보기술 활용능력 교육, 정보기술지적능력에 대한교육 등3가지 차원의 교육영역이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구의주요 시사점으로는 대학 IT 교육의 이론적 기반을 제공하였다는 점과 향후 대학 IT교양 교육의 실무적 가이드라인을 제시하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
