Abstract

Recently SW education has been emphasized in Korea, but many students do not have many opportunities to learn computer science. In this paper, I organized a computer science show to enhance interest and understanding of computer science. The computer science show consisted of understanding binary systems, send a text message, parity bit magic, finding a number card, and collecting colors (orange games). I applied the computer science show to elementary school students and looked at the results. Most of the students who participated in computer science shows did not have an "participation experience of computer science shows". As result of surveys, many students answered "I am interesting about computer science shows," "I am interested in computer science," and "I would recommend it to my friends nearby." Through research, I learned that computer science shows are a way for elementary students to draw interest in computer science and to create curiosity and interest in computer science. I found from research that computer science shows are a way to reduce students' learning burdens and to increase interest in computer science.

최근 SW교육이 강조되고 있으나 아직 많은 학생들이 컴퓨터과학을 접할 기회는 많지 않다. 이 논문에서 연구자는 컴퓨터과학에 대한 관심과 이해를 증대시키기 위해 컴퓨터과학 쇼를 구성하였다. 컴퓨터과학 쇼는 이진체계의 이해, 문자 전달하기, 패리티비트 마술, 숫자 카드 찾기, 색깔 모으기(오렌지 게임)들로 구성하였다. 컴퓨터과학 쇼를 초등학생들에게 적용하고 결과를 살펴보았다. 컴퓨터과학 쇼에 참여한 대부분의 학생들은 "컴퓨터과학 쇼에 대한 경험"이 없었다. 컴퓨터과학 쇼 후의 설문조사에서 많은 학생이 "쇼에 대해 재미있다", "컴퓨터과학에 관심이 생겼다", "주변 친구에게 추천 하겠다"라고 응답했다. 연구를 통해 컴퓨터과학 쇼는 초등학생들에게 컴퓨터과학에 대한 흥미를 이끌어 낼 수 있고, 컴퓨터과학에 대한 호기심과 관심을 일으킬 수 있는 방법임을 알게 되었다.
