Abstract

As the COVID-19 situation continues, early childhood are unable to attend early childhood education institutions and are spending more time with their parents at home. Parents are faced with a situation where they have to spend a lot of time at home to teach their children for Korean word learning or play activities. This act as a lot of psychological burden and stress for parents. In order to relieve the psychological burden of parents, the design and implementation of early childhood learning assistant system that can support Korea word education and play activities using artificial intelligence blocks of block coding technique was proposed in this study. The usage of a proposed system can not only reduce the burden on parents for their children's learning, but also can be actively used in the field of early childhood education so many learning effects can be expected.

코로나-19 상황이 지속 되면서 유아들은 유아 교육 기관에 가지 못하고 집에서 부모와 보내는 시간이 늘어나고 있다. 부모들은 자녀들에게 한글 단어 학습이나 놀이 활동을 가르치기 위해 집에서 많은 시간을 보내야 하는 상황에 직면해 있다. 이는 부모에게 많은 심리적 부담과 스트레스로 작용이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 부모의 심리적 부담을 덜어 주기 위해 블록 코딩기법의 인공지능 블록을 이용하여 한글 단어 교육과 놀이 활동을 지원할 수 있는 학습 보조 시스템의 설계 및 구현을 제안하였다. 제안된 시스템의 활용은 자녀의 학습 지도에 대한 부모의 부담을 경감시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 실제 유아 교육 현장에서도 적극 활용이 될 수 있어 많은 학습효과를 기대할 수 있다.
