Abstract

Kodu made by MS is a new 3D visual programming language made specifically for creating games. This language is based on creativity, problem-solving methods, and storytelling. So, it is very suitable for game programming education for kids. In this paper, we designed learning method to develop games based on elementary school students' creative thinking. The instruction was given to 27 6-grade elementary school students in 30 hours. And we applied the learning method in class. Also, we analyzed the changes in the learners' creative thinking and the learning effects of game programming.

코두(Kodu)는 마이크로소프트사에서 개발한 게임 제작용 3D 비주얼 프로그래밍 언어이다. 코두 언어는 창의성, 문제해결 방법, 스토리텔링을 기반으로 하며, 아동들을 대상으로 게임 프로그래밍 학습을 하는데 매우 적합한 언어이다. 본 연구에서는 초등학생의 창의적 사고를 바탕으로 코두 언어를 사용하여 게임을 제작하는 학습방법을 설계하였고, 초등학생 6학년 27명을 대상으로 30차시에 걸쳐 적용하였다. 학습과정에서 나타난 학습자들의 창의적 사고력에 대한 변화와 게임 프로그래밍에 대한 학습효과를 분석하였다.
