Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze objectively the current state of preparation of SW education in Korea based on the survey of educational technology of elementary and secondary school which is investigated periodically every year. For this purpose, we extracted indicators related to SW education from educational technology level indicators such as human, material, and utilization and analyzed the change in the level of domestic educational technology level from 2014 to 2016. The main results of this study are as follows. Firstly, the ratio of teachers who have informatics teacher certificates among middle school informatics teacher is continuously decreasing from 2014(71%) to 2016(54%), and the number of information and the number of informatics teachers moving from informatics subject to other subjects is steadily increasing. On the other hand, there is a paradoxical situation in which the total number of teachers in informatics subject is continuously increasing for three years. Secondly, the total amount of ICT related budgets for elementary and secondary schools has been steadily decreasing since 2014. Thirdly, The ratio of informatics(computer) related creative activities in elementary schools dropped to 87.7% in 2015 and 84.6% in 2016. Also, the ratio of informatics subject operating school in middle school is gradually decreasing from 34.8% in 2014, 30.8% in 2015, and 28.2% in 2016. Based on the results of this analysis, this study suggested a method for stable settlement of SW education in elementary and secondary public education field.

본 연구의 목적은 매년 우리나라의 전체 초중등학교를 대상으로 주기적으로 조사되고 있는 '교육정보화 실태조사'의 기초 데이터를 활용하여 2018년부터 필수화를 앞두고 있는 국내 SW 교육 준비 현황을 객관적으로 분석하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 교육정보화 실태조사 지표인 인적, 물적, 활용 지표 중 SW 교육과 관련된 지표를 추출하고 2014년부터 2016년까지 3개년 간의 국내 교육정보화 수준의 추이 변화를 분석하였다. 주요 연구 결과를 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 정보교과를 담당하는 전체적인 교사 수는 3개년 간 지속적으로 늘어나고 있는 것을 알 수 있다. 하지만, 중학교의 정보 교과 담당교사 중 정보 컴퓨터 정교사 자격증 소지자 비율은 2014년(71%)부터 2016년(54%)까지 지속적으로 줄어들고 있으며, 타교과로 이동하는 정보 컴퓨터 전공 교사 수는 지속적으로 증가하는 역설적인 상황이 발생하고 있다. 둘째, 예산 및 인프라와 관련한 추이 분석 결과, 2014년부터 초 중등 학교운영비 대비 교육정보화 예산의 총액이 지속적으로 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 셋째, 초등학교의 정보(컴퓨터) 관련 창의적 체험활동 운영 비율은 2015년 87.7%, 2016년 84.6%로 낮아졌으며, 중학교의 정보(컴퓨터) 교과 교육 운영 학교 비율 또한 2014년 34.8%, 2015년 30.8%, 2016년 28.2%로 점차 낮아지는 경향을 보이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 분석 결과를 토대로 초 중등 공교육 현장에 SW 교육의 안정적인 정착을 위한 방안을 제언하였다.
