Abstract

In this study, the AI education program for elementary school students was developed and applied by introducing the design thinking process, which is attracting attention as a creative problem solving process. A design thinking-based AI education program was developed in the stages of Understanding AI, Identifying sympathetic problems, Problem definition, Ideate, Prototype, Test and sharing, and the development program was applied to elementary school students in 4th-6th grade. As a result of pre- and post-testing of students' computational thinking skills to confirm the effectiveness of the program, computational thinking skills increased by grade level, and students experienced a process of collaboration for creative problem solving based on insights gained from sympathetic problem finding. In addition, it was possible to get a glimpse of the attitude of using AI technology to solve problems, and it was confirmed that ideas were generated in the prototype stage and developed through communication between team members. Through this, the design thinking-based AI education program as one of the AI education for elementary school students guarantees the continuity of learning and confirms the possibility of providing an experience of the creative problem-solving process.

본 연구에서는 창의적 문제 해결 프로세스로 주목받고 있는 디자인 씽킹 프로세스를 도입하여 초등학생 인공지능 교육 프로그램을 개발하고 적용하였다. 인공지능의 이해, 공감적 문제발견, 문제 정의, 아이디어 창출, 프로토타입 제작, 평가 및 공유 단계로 디자인 씽킹 기반 인공지능 교육 프로그램을 개발하였으며, 초등학교 4~6학년 학생을 대상으로 개발 프로그램을 적용하였다. 프로그램의 효과를 확인하기 위해 학생들의 컴퓨팅 사고력을 사전 사후 검사한 결과 학년별로 컴퓨팅 사고력이 상승했으며, 학생들은 공감적 문제발견에서 얻은 통찰을 바탕으로 창의적 문제 해결을 위해 협업하는 과정을 경험하였다. 또한 인공지능 기술을 활용하여 문제를 해결하려는 태도를 엿볼 수 있었고, 프로토타입 단계에서 아이디어를 생성하고 팀원 간 의사소통을 통해 아이디어를 발전시키는 모습을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 디자인 씽킹 기반 인공지능 교육 프로그램은 초등학생들을 위한 인공지능 교육 중 하나의 방안으로써 학습의 연속성을 보장하며, 창의적 문제 해결 과정의 경험을 제공할 수 있다는 가능성을 확인하였다.
