Abstract

Recent interest in software education has naturally led to interest in computer science. Computer science is the study of theory and principle of computer and computational systems. This knowledge and concept of computer science is fundamental to software education. Recently, "Computer Science (CS) Unplugged", which is an educational method for introducing students to concepts of computer science without using a computer, has been widely used in classes around the world. CS Unplugged is a method for learning the basic principles of computer science through diverse playing activities. The problem, however, is that these CS unplugged activities take place in class without an analysis of how closely they relate to the core subjects learned in real computer science. Therefore, in this study, we will study on the comparison between the core contents of computer science and the core contents of computer science contained in the various activities of CS Unplugged.

소프트웨어 교육에 대한 관심이 늘어감에 따라 컴퓨터과학에 대한 관심도 높아지고 있다. 컴퓨터과학은 컴퓨터와 컴퓨터시스템의 이론과 원리를 학습하는 학문으로서 이러한 컴퓨터과학의 지식과 개념은 소프트웨어 교육의 근본이라고 할 수 있다. 최근에 컴퓨터를 사용하지 않고 컴퓨터 과학의 핵심 내용을 전달하는 방법으로 컴퓨터과학 언플러그드라는 학습 방법이 전 세계적으로 수업에 많이 활용되고 있다. CS 언플러그드는 다양한 놀이 활동을 중심으로 컴퓨터과학의 원리를 배우도록 하는 학습 방법이다. 그러나 문제는 이러한 CS 언플러그드 활동이 실제 컴퓨터과학에서 배우는 핵심교과와 얼마나 연관성이 있는지에 대한 분석 없이 단순한 놀이 수업으로만 이루어지는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 컴퓨터과학의 핵심 내용과 CS 언플러그드의 다양한 활동에 들어 있는 컴퓨터과학 핵심 내용을 분석하여 비교 연구를 하고자 한다.
