Abstract

Software subjects such as programming practice and physical computing may have differences between men and women, and there may be individual differences in resilience due to errors and debugging. Therefore, in this study, we analyze gender differences in computational thinking classes by using a resilience testing tool. The results of this study showed that the two groups were homogeneous, and the male group did not show significant changes in resilience, but the female group showed significant increases in resilience. This study confirmed the possibility of reducing the gender gap of learners by allowing a group of female students who did not show strength in traditional software education to become more motivated and interested in the information and communication field through appropriate learning content and learning strategies in computational thinking classes.

프로그래밍 실습이나 피지컬 컴퓨팅 등의 소프트웨어 과목은 남녀 성별의 차이가 존재하며 오류와 디버깅으로 인한 회복탄력성의 개인차가 존재할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 컴퓨팅 사고 수업에서 회복탄력성 검사 도구를 활용하여 성별의 차이를 분석하였다. 연구 결과로는 두 집단은 동질 집단이었고, 남학생 집단에서는 회복탄력성의 유의미한 변화를 볼 수 없었으나, 여학생 집단에서는 회복탄력성의 유의미한 상승을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 기존의 소프트웨어 교육에서 강점을 보이지 못한 여학생 집단이 컴퓨팅 사고 교양과목 수업에서 적절한 학습내용과 학습전략을 통해 학습의욕이 높아지고 정보통신 분야에 관심을 갖도록 함으로써 학습자의 성별 차이를 줄여나갈 수 있는 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.
