Abstract

Software education enhances creative thinking and critical thinking for students living in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and helps them choose jobs in software-related industries. This study is an example of software education applied to the vulnerable students of the child welfare center to narrow the software gap and achieve the equity in education. This education was conducted in Unplugged activity, Entry coding, and Physical computing classes for 170 students from 20 institutions in South Chungcheong Province, North Chungcheong Province, and Daejeon city in Korea. The curriculum utilized a total of four types of student and teacher level materials, with a total of 10 hours of classes per child welfare center. In addition, the surveys of the students and institutions confirmed that this education influenced their interest in software education and their desire for continuous software education.

소프트웨어 교육은 4차산업혁명 시대를 살아가는 학생들에게 창의적 사고, 비판적인 사고를 신장시켜주며, 그들 스스로가 소프트웨어 관련 산업의 직업을 선택하는 데 많은 도움이 된다. 이 연구는 소프트웨어 격차 해소와 교육의 공평성을 달성하기 위해서 지역아동센터의 취약 계층 학생들에게 적용한 소프트웨어교육의 사례이다. 이 교육은 충남, 충북, 대전 지역의 20여개 기관의 170명의 학생을 대상으로 언플러그드, 엔트리 코딩, 피지컬 컴퓨팅 수업으로 진행하였다. 교육과정에서는 총 4종의 학생 및 교사의 수준별 교재를 활용하였고 기관별 총 수업 시간은 총 10시간이었다. 또한 대상 학생과 기관의 설문을 통해 이 교육이 학생들의 소프트웨어교육에 대한 관심 그리고 추후에 계속적인 소프트웨어 교육에 대한 열망에 영향을 주었음을 확인할 수 있었다.
