Abstract

Programming learning has been recognized as a difficult subject for a long time. To solve these problems, various studies have been conducted. This study was conducted on motivation to break away from programming learning according to gender, one of the characteristics of learners. In this study, pre-post questionnaire surveys were conducted for male students and female students who were involved in scratch learning and Python learning. The results of the study showed that male students had higher confidence in programming learning than female students, but there was no significant difference in overall items. In addition, it was possible to find the difference in motivation to break out from the learning according to the major of students by gender. Through this study, it is expected that it will be helpful to prepare learning strategies to enhance learning motivation and satisfaction by considering learner characteristics in programming learning.

프로그래밍 학습은 오랫동안 어려운 과목으로 인식되어왔다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있는데, 본 연구에서는 학습자 특성 중 하나인 성별을 기반으로 프로그래밍 학습에서 이탈하려는 동기에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 스크래치를 학습하는 분반과 파이썬을 학습하는 분반을 남학생과 여학생으로 나누어 학습이탈동기의 사전-사후 설문을 진행하였다. 연구 결과로는 남학생이 여학생보다 프로그래밍 학습에 대한 자신감은 높았으나 전체적인 항목에서는 큰 차이가 없었다. 또한 성별마다 학생들이 선택한 전공에 따라서 학습이탈동기의 차이를 발견할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 프로그래밍 학습에서 학습자 특성을 고려하여 학습 효율 및 만족도를 높일 수 있는지 개선하는데 도움이 될 것이라고 기대한다.
