Abstract

One of the goals of the new 2015 revised curriculum is to cultivate the creativity of students who will live in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to create new things through diverse ideas and challenges based on basic learning skills. Accordingly, in order to solve the given problems rationally, the convergence problem solving ability that can process and utilize various areas of knowledge and information is becoming important. Therefore, in this study, we designed the integrative education using a 3D printer based on Tinkercad modeling and applied it to the class to investigate the effect on the improvement of computing thinking ability of elementary school students. To verify the contents of the study, two classes of 25 sixth-grade elementary school students were divided into an experimental group and a controlled group. For the experimental group, 12 classes of convergence education programs using a 3D printer were applied for about three months, and the same amount of general curriculum was conducted for the control group. After that, the t-tests were carried out using the pre-post test to measure the effectiveness of the computational thinking ability. After the application of the program, the experimental group showed statistically significant improvement in computational thinking ability, but the controlled group showed no statistically significant difference. The results show that convergence education using the Tinkercad modeling-based 3D printer has a positive effect on the improvement of computing thinking ability of elementary school students.

새로운 2015 개정 교육과정이 추구하고 있는 목적 중의 하나는 4차 산업혁명 시대에 살아갈 학생들이 기본 학습 능력의 바탕 위에 다양한 발상과 도전으로 새로운 것을 창출하는 창의성을 기르는 것이다. 이에 따라 주어진 문제들을 합리적으로 해결하기 위하여 다양한 영역의 지식과 정보를 처리하고 활용할 수 있는 융합적 문제해결 역량이 중요시되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 틴커캐드(Tinkercad) 모델링을 기반으로 하여 3D프린터를 활용한 융합교육을 설계하고 이를 수업에 적용하여 초등학생의 컴퓨팅 사고력 증진에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 연구 내용을 검증하기 위해 초등학교 6학년 25명 2개 반을 실험집단과 통제집단으로 나누고 실험집단에는 약 3개월간 3D프린터를 활용한 융합교육 프로그램 12차시를 적용하고, 통제집단에는 같은 시기 동안 동일 주제의 강의식 교과 수업을 진행하였다. 그 후에 컴퓨팅 사고력 검사 도구를 투입하여 사전-사후 검사로 t-검정을 실시하고 그 효과성을 알아보았다. 프로그램 적용 후 사후 검사에서 실험집단은 컴퓨팅 사고력이 통계적으로 유의하게 향상 되었으나, 통제집단은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 이 결과를 통해 틴커캐드 모델링 기반의 3D프린터를 활용한 융합교육이 초등학생의 컴퓨팅 사고력 증진에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 보인다.
