Abstract

Coding education is an effective convergence type educational tool. While solving problems and designing programs, students can enhance problem solving ability, logical reasoning ability and creative thinking. Researches on coding education are done primarily for elementary school and middle school students. However, researches on college students are lacking. Today, educating college students about coding is in dire need. Although there are efforts to promote the importance of coding education and make it requirements. People find it difficult to find ways to provide training. There is a need for researches on coding as universal education. Therefore, this research proposed educational training using app inventor based on flipped running in order to effectively promote coding education. This study conducted the survey and the personal interview to measure the effectiveness of coding education. It is hoped that, through coding education, students who do not major in coding could combined their knowledge of their major with coding to improve their problem solving ability to solve various problems based on computing knowledge and approach.

코딩교육은 융합형 교육의 효과적인 도구로 문제해결 방법을 기획하고 설계하는 과정 등을 통해 문제해결 능력, 논리적 사고능력, 창의적 사고능력 등을 키울 수 있다. 코딩교육을 위한 연구는 주로 초.중등 학생들을 대상으로 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며 대학생들을 대상으로 한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 지금 현시점에서는 코딩교육을 전혀 받지 못한 대학생들의 교육이 시급한 실정이다. 코딩교육의 필요성을 인지하고 대학에서도 교양필수로 교과목을 지정하여 교육하려는 시도를 하고 있지만 어떻게 교육을 할 것인지에 대해 고심하고 있는 실정이다. 보편적 교육으로서의 코딩교육에 대한 연구가 필요한 시점이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비전공자들을 대상으로 코딩교육을 효율적으로 운영하기 위해 플립러닝을 적용한 앱인벤터를 활용한 교육과정을 제시하였다. 교육의 효과를 측정하기 위해 설문조사와 개인 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 코딩교육을 통해 비전공자 학습자들의 전공영역과 융합하여 다양한 문제들을 컴퓨팅 사고력 기반으로 해결해 나갈 수 있는 문제해결 능력을 향상시킬 것으로 기대한다.
