Abstract

In this study, the content and level of the elements of Computational Thinking in the Software Education area of elementary practical textbooks were analyzed, and also the computing ratio for each textbook learning activity was analyzed. The elements of Computational Thinking were defined based on the components and definitions of Computational Thinking skills suggested by the Ministry of Education. The contents of Software Education area in practical arts textbooks published by six publishers were analyzed. As a result of analyzing the elements of Computational Thinking for each textbook according to the achievement criteria, there was a difference in whether sub-elements of Computational Thinking were included for each textbook. Second, as a result of analyzing the level of Computing of learning content, the proportion of textbooks presenting Abstract activities connected to Computing was relatively low. When the curriculum is reorganized or the textbook is revised in the future, it is necessary to complement the elements of Computational Thinking in a balanced way, and to include general Abstraction activities and Abstraction activities that can lead to Automation.

본 연구에서는 초등 실과 교과서의 소프트웨어교육 영역에 나타난 컴퓨팅 사고력의 요소의 내용, 수준 등을 분석하고 교과서 학습활동별 컴퓨팅 비율을 분석하였다. 컴퓨팅 사고력 요소는 교육부에서 제시한 컴퓨팅 사고력의 구성 요소와 정의를 바탕으로 구성하였고, 6개 출판사에서 출판된 실과 교과서의 소프트웨어 교육 학습 내용을 분석하였다. 교과서별 컴퓨팅 사고력 요소와 컴퓨팅 수준을 분석한 결과 교과서별로 컴퓨팅 사고력의 하위 요소 포함 여부의 차이가 나타나며, 컴퓨팅과 연결된 추상화 활동을 제시하는 교과서의 비율이 비교적 낮게 나타났다. 추후 교육과정 개편 또는 교과서 개정시 컴퓨팅 사고력 요소가 균형있게 포함되도록 보완하고, 문제 발견과 이해부터 자동화까지 컴퓨팅 사고의 일련의 과정들이 이어질 수 있도록 차시를 편성할 필요가 있으며, 일상생활의 요소를 사용하되 컴퓨팅이 포함된 추상화 활동을 내포할 필요가 있다.
