Abstract

In this paper, we propose to understand the conceptual structure of programming elements that learners form during the prototyping theory. To do this, we reviewed previous studies on the meaning of conception and prototype theory and conducted a course of problem-solving programming for 33 university students who had no prior experience in programming, and collected transcription materials through conceptual metaphorical writing. The conclusions of this study are as follows: 1) Identifying the conceptual structure of learners as a conceptual metaphor can enhance the effectiveness of programming education. 2) Learners need to reinforce the experience of forming abstract attributes to form mature programming concepts. 3) The concept of programming differs in the structure of multi-level concepts that students, teachers, and professional programmers have in each group. 4) Programming elements should intentionally block misconception risks in the meaning of symbols. 5) Concept evaluation tools should be developed to check whether various attributes can be applied.

이 연구의 목적은 확률적 관점의 원형이론으로 학습자들이 프로그래밍 과정에서 형성한 프로그래밍 개념의 구조를 이해하는 것이다. 이를 위해 개념(conception)의 의미와 원형이론(prototype theory)을 고찰하고, 대학생 33명이 문제해결 프로그래밍 경험으로 형성한 학습자의 변수(variable) 개념을 개념적 은유(conceptual metaphor) 글쓰기로 자료를 수집하여 분석하였다. 이 연구의 결론은, 1) 개념적 은유(conceptual metaphor) 글쓰기 활동은 프로그래밍 교육 효과를 높이는 교육 방법이고, 2) 학습자의 추상적 속성 형성 경험을 보강해야 하고, 3) 프로그래밍 개념은 집단별로 수준별 개념(multi-level concept)을 형성하고, 4) 프로그래밍 교육에서 기호의 의미에서 발생 가능한 오개념 위험(misconception risk)을 의도적으로 차단해야하고, 5) 프로그래밍 평가 도구는 다양한 속성을 적용할 수 있는지를 확인할 수 있게 개발되어야 한다.
