Abstract

As the importance of computing technology is emphasized, Korea has revised the educational curriculum to teach SW education compulsory at the elementary and secondary school level. For successful SW education, it is very important not only to require an educational environment and educational materials, but also to obtain the capacity of the teachers who are responsible for SW education. However, due to the lack of research on specifically examining the present state of teachers' SW competencies, there are many deficiencies in establishing a concrete teacher's training and a support plan for SW education. This study is to develop test tools and apply to measure a common sense about a computer, the latest IT technology algorithm design and a programming ability for the purpose of evaluating the SW competency of current teachers. As a result of the study, the understanding of common sense about a computer and the latest IT technology is very high, on the other hand the algorithm design and programming ability were analyzed as low. Therefore, the implications for SW education teacher's training and a process of prospective teachers' training are derived.

컴퓨팅 기술의 중요성이 강조됨에 따라 우리나라에서는 초중등 학교급에서 SW교육을 의무적으로 가르치도록 교육과정을 개정하였다. 성공적인 SW교육을 위해서는 교육환경과 교육자료를 구비하여야 할 뿐만 아니라 SW교육을 담당할 교사의 역량을 갖추도록 하는 것 또한 매우 중요하다. 하지만 교사의 SW교육역량과 관련하여 현재의 상태를 구체적으로 진단하고자 한 연구는 미비하여 원활한 SW교육을 위한 교사연수와 지원계획을 구체적으로 수립하기에는 부족점이 많다. 본 연구는 현직교사의 SW교육역량 수준을 확인하기 위한 목적으로 컴퓨터 상식, 최신 IT기술, 알고리즘 설계, 프로그래밍 능력을 측정하는 검사도구를 제작하여 적용하였다. 연구결과 컴퓨터 상식과 최신 IT기술에 대한 이해는 매우 높은 것으로 나타난 반면, 알고리즘 설계와 프로그래밍 능력은 낮은 것으로 분석되어 SW교육 교원연수와 교원양성과정에 대한 시사점을 도출하였다.
