Abstract

The Code Block Based Educational Programming Language(EPL) is the mainstream tool for software education for elementary students. However, Code Block Based EPL has limitations in scalability, even though there are many advantages as an introductory tool for software education. In this study, we searched the approach of SW education using Python, which is a text-based programming language actively used in real industrial field. We developed a learning program and model using Python and applied it to the sixth grade elementary school students for 10 hours. As a result, we found that the robot-based Python learning model had a significant effect on improving students' thinking skills and confirmed the applicability of text-based programming language to elementary school students.

초등학생을 대상으로 하는 소프트웨어 교육의 도구는 블록형 교육용 프로그래밍 언어(EPL)가 주로 사용되고 있다. 블록형 EPL은 SW 교육의 입문 도구로써 장점이 많지만 확장성에서는 한계를 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 실제 산업 현장에서도 활발하게 사용하고 있는 텍스트 기반의 프로그래밍 언어인 파이썬을 활용한 SW 교육의 접근 방안을 모색하였다. 파이썬을 활용한 학습 프로그램과 모형을 개발하고 초등학교 6학년 학생을 대상으로 10차시를 적용하였다. 그 결과 로봇 활용 파이썬 학습 모형을 적용한 학생들의 컴퓨팅 사고력 향상에 유의미한 효과가 있었으며 초등학생을 대상으로 텍스트 기반 프로그래밍 언어의 적용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.
