Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the effects of programming education using educational programming languages. We select 70 papers which contain 101 individual experimental studies we can estimate the effect size from. The average effect size of the studies is .641, which means that programming education has modest effects on the learners. The average effect size of the learners' cognitive and affective domains are 0.632 and 0.666, respectively. The average effect size by the controlled variables such as school level, experimental periods, and programming languages have no statistically significant difference. The results of our study show that the experimental group receiving programming education, can be expected perform about 23.9% better compared to the control group having received no programming education.

본 연구에서는 교육용 프로그래밍 언어를 사용한 프로그래밍 교육의 효과에 관한 국내 논문을 메타분석하여 프로그래밍 교육의 효과를 분석한다. 프로그래밍 교육의 효과에 관한 논문 가운데 메타분석이 가능한 논문 70편의 101개 연구를 대상으로 메타분석을 한 결과 평균 효과크기는 0.641로 긍정적인 효과를 보였다. 인지적 영역의 학습 효과를 위한 연구와 정의적 영역의 학습 효과를 위한 연구의 평균 효과크기는 각각 0.632, 0.666이었다. 실험 대상의 학령, 실험 차시, 사용 언어의 중재변인별 평균 효과크기에는 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 프로그래밍 교육을 받은 실험집단은 프로그래밍 교육을 받지 않은 통제집단에 비하여 약 23.9%의 긍정적인 효과의 향상을 보인다는 것을 알 수 있다.
