Abstract

The recent software education in middle schools is focused on physical computing, unplugged learning and pilot training. However, they are struggling in many ways, including cost, inducement of interest, motivation, and concentration. Also, the lack of systematic classroom design could make negative effect to students' understanding of classes or academic performance. In this paper, we intend to study the method of algorithm education using Chatbot system, which will increase efficiency of software education, with less burdensome in terms of cost, and also could be able to used as an assist tool in various classes. In class scenarios that require the understanding of coding mechanisms such as function application, algorithm design, and program coding, students can learn by themselves through the Chatbot system, which has a positive effect on student learning.

최근 중학교에서 진행되고 있는 SW 교육은 주로 피지컬 컴퓨팅, 언플러그드 학습 그리고 시범 실습 교육을 위주로 진행되고 있다. 하지만 각각 비용, 흥미유발, 동기부여, 수업 집중 등 여러 가지 측면에서 어려움을 겪고 있다. 또한 체계적인 수업 설계가 이루어지지 않으면 학생들의 수업 이해도나 학업 성취도에 부정적인 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 기존 SW 교육에 활용되던 수업 도구보다 비용의 부담이 적으며 수업 설계에 보조적인 역할을 수행할 수 있는 챗봇을 개발하는 것이다. 이를 활용하여 함수 적용, 알고리즘 설계 및 프로그램 코딩과 같은 코딩이 이루어지는 메커니즘을 이해할 필요가 있는 수업 시나리오에서는 학생들이 챗봇 시스템을 통해 스스로 학습을 가능하여 학생들의 학습에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다.
