Abstract

This study is an analysis of Software image using the semantic differential scale with elementary students. We have selected the items in a total of 35 pairs of test about software-related image adjectives and are categorized into 7 main factors, and then analyzed the entire image with the students. The analysis of the differences between the software images of sex, the female students than male students were recognized the software is complex, slow and difficult and do not want to have. The analysis of the self-awareness on the software, the students who know that well recognized for the software select the positive term for the software. The inter-grade analysis are the older grade students were the answer to the objective features of the software like more difficult and complex.

본 연구는 소프트웨어에 대해 초등학생들이 가진 이미지를 의미분별법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 검사의 항목은 총 35쌍의 소프트웨어 이미지 형용사를 선정하여 요인분석을 통해 7개의 주요인으로 구분하고 초등학생을 대상으로 조사하였다. 성별 간 SW이미지를 분석한 결과 남학생보다는 여학생이 소프트웨어를 어렵고 복잡하게 여기며 느리고 갖고 싶지 않다는 인식을 보였다. 또한 소프트웨어에 대한 자기 인식의 분석 결과 소프트웨어에 대해 잘 안다고 인식할 경우 소프트웨어에 대한 긍정적인 용어를 선호하고 있었다. 학년간 분석에서 고학년이 될수록 소프트웨어를 어렵고 복잡하며 소프트웨어의 객관적인 특징에 대한 답변을 하였다. 본 연구를 통해 소프트웨어 교육이 정규교과로 안착되는데 필요한 방향을 안내하였다.
