Abstract

Recently, there has been a growing interest in SW education for non-SW major in order to nurture SW convergence talent. In Korea, it is a tendency to make SW mandatory for basic education to all students regardless of their major, starting with SW-oriented universities. Through a case study of programming lesson, the paper compared differences in academic achievements and difficulties of learning between SW majors and non-majors and between the humanities department and the science department. As a result, although there was no significant difference in academic achievement according to majors, the humanities department had more difficulty in implementing programs such as practices, assignments, and team project. Through the interview, lack of understanding about programming problem itself, lack of relationship with friend or tutor that can help assignments, and difficulty in learning motivation by piecemeal curriculum knowledge alone were the main causes. The results will be expected to propose the direction of SW education for non-SW majors.

최근 SW융합인재 양성을 위한 비전공자 대상의 SW교육에 관심이 높아지고 있다. 국내는 SW중심대학을 필두로 전공과 상관없이 모든 학생들에게 SW를 기초교육으로 필수화하는 추세이다. 본 논문은 프로그래밍 수업 사례를 통해 SW 전공자와 비전공자, 비전공자의 경우 인문 계열과 이공 계열의 차이가 프로그래밍 학습 능력과 느끼는 어려움에 연관을 보이는 지를 학업 성취도 분석과 설문 및 개인 상담을 통해 살펴보았다. 그 결과 전공에 따른 학업 성취도엔 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 인문 계열이 이공 계열보다 실습, 과제, 팀프로젝트와 같은 실제 프로그램 구현에 대한 체감 난이도는 높게 분석됐다. 상담 결과로 프로그래밍 문제 자체에 대한 이해 부족, 학습과 과제에 도움을 줄 수 있는 친구나 튜터와의 관계 부족, 단편적 교과 지식만으로는 학습 동기를 높이기 힘듦이 주요함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 토대로 비전공자를 위한 SW교육 운영 방향에 대해 제언할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
