Abstract

The future society will be identify various problem situations accurately and the ability to solve problems effectively using computing technology become more important. Based on this background, an education of future human resources based on computational thinking as well as a problem-solving ability are important in university education. Therefore, in this paper, we have analyzed the effects of software education to improve computational thinking based on problem-solving learning. We have found that there is a significant difference between the interest of the students and their learning and academic achievements. Therefore, based on the understanding of the learning motivation and method, if the problem-solving learning is conducted in real-life scenarios suitable for the level of the student, it can be possible to induce the interest of the students and improve their computational thinking ability.

다양한 문제 상황을 정확히 파악하고 컴퓨팅 기술을 이용하여 문제를 보다 효과적으로 해결하는 능력은 앞으로 더 중요해질 것이다. 이러한 배경으로 컴퓨팅 사고력과 함께 문제해결 능력을 갖춘 미래 인재 양성이 대학 교육에서 강조되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 비전공자를 대상으로 컴퓨팅 사고력을 향상시키기 위한 소프트웨어 교육을 문제 해결 학습 기반으로 실시하여 효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 학생의 흥미와 배운 정도, 학업성취도에서 유의미한 차이가 나타났음을 알 수 있다. 따라서 학습 동기와 학습 방법에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 학생 수준에 적합한 실생활에 관련된 문제 해결학습을 통해 소프트웨어 교육을 진행한다면 학생들의 관심을 유도할 수 있고, 학습 효과가 높아져서 컴퓨팅 사고력 향상에도 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.
