Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop an artificial-intelligence STEAM program for real-time interactive online class for elementary science and to analyze its effect on science academic achievement and creative problem-solving ability. The applied unit was 'Life of plant', a 4th grade science subject with high difficulty in teaching and learning mainly by memorization. The theme of the program is 'Creating a doctor of plant artificial intelligence chatbot'. The results of this study were as follows: The program developed in this study had a positive effect on elementary school students' science academic achievement and creative problem-solving ability. Therefore, the artificial intelligence STEAM program for elementary science interactive online class is effective in improving students' scientific academic achievement and creative problem-solving ability, and further research on artificial intelligence STEAM education theory, method, and practice is required.

본 연구의 목적은 초등과학 실시간 쌍방향수업을 위하여 인공지능 융합교육프로그램을 개발하고 그 효과로 과학학업성취도와 창의적 문제해결력에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이다. 적용 단원은 초등학교 4학년 과학 '식물의 생활'이다. 이 단원은 주로 암기 중심의 학습이 이루어지고 가르치기에 어려운 단원이다. 개발된 프로그램의 주제는 '식물박사 인공지능 챗봇 만들기'이다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 본 연구에서 개발한 프로그램은 초등학생의 과학학업성취도와 창의적 문제해결력에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 따라서 초등과학 쌍방향 수업을 위한 인공지능 융합교육프로그램은 학생들의 과학학업성취도와 창의적 문제해결력 향상에 효과적이다. 그리고 인공지능융합교육 이론, 방법 및 실습에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.
