Abstract

This study analyzed the effect of AI maker coding education on improving students' computational thinking. The subjects of the study were 10 students at H Elementary School in Ansan, and a total of 8 AI maker coding education using the Instructional Model for Maker Education based on SW Coding was applied to students to find out the degree of improvement of computational thinking. Students who participated in the class performed a process of solving real-life problems through coding and making activities, measured the degree of improvement in computing thinking before and after education through a computing thinking test paper, and observed students' thinking processes related to computing thinking components through interviews. As a result, it was confirmed that the average score of all students' computational thinking skills was improved, and the deviation of scores between students decreased. Through the interview, it was found that students actively utilize their thinking skills related to computational thinking skills in the problem-solving process. Through this, it was confirmed that AI maker coding education can have a positive effect on improving students' computing thinking skills.

본 연구에서는 AI 메이커 코딩 교육이 초등학생의 컴퓨팅 사고력 향상에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구 대상은 안산시 H 초등학교에 재학 중인 10명의 학생이며, 소프트웨어 코딩 기반 메이커교육용 교수학습모형을 활용한 총 8차시의 AI 메이커 코딩 교육을 학생들에게 적용하여 컴퓨팅 사고력의 향상 정도를 분석하였다. 수업에 참여한 학생들은 실생활의 문제를 코딩과 메이킹 활동을 통해 해결하는 과정을 수행하였고, 컴퓨팅 사고력 검사지를 통해 교육 전·후의 컴퓨팅 사고력 향상 정도를 측정하는 한편, 면담을 통해 컴퓨팅 사고력 구성요소와 관련된 학생들의 사고 과정을 관찰하였다. 연구 결과 모든 학생의 컴퓨팅 사고력 평균 점수가 향상되었으며, 학생 간 점수의 편차가 감소함을 확인하였다. 면담을 통해서는 문제해결 과정에서 학생들이 컴퓨팅 사고력과 관련된 사고 능력을 적극적으로 활용함을 알 수 있었다. 이를 통해 AI 메이커 코딩 교육은 학생의 컴퓨팅 사고력 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있음을 확인하였다.
