Abstract

There is a great deal of effort to improve Computational Thinking in education. In this paper, we define the relationship between SW capability and Computational Thinking, and then examine the current status of pre-service teacher's computing thinking. For this purpose, a survey about the attitude toward SW education and computing thinking was administered to prospective teachers who learned Entry software for one semester. The results of the survey showed that the improvement of abstraction, data analysis, and automation among the pre-service teacher's computing thinking is needed. When educating preliminary teachers, we can see that we need an education method that can increase the analysis and design capability beyond the Entry Software development tool.

세계적으로 교육 분야에서 컴퓨팅 사고력 증진을 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 본 논문에서는 SW 역량과 컴퓨팅 사고력 관계를 정의한 후, 컴퓨팅 사고력 측정을 통해 예비교원 컴퓨팅 사고력 현황을 파악하고자 한다. 이를 위해 한 학기 동안 엔트리 프로그래밍 언어 수업을 받은 예비교원을 대상으로 SW교육에 대한 태도와 컴퓨팅 사고력에 대한 설문을 실시하였다. 설문 분석 결과 예비교원의 컴퓨팅 사고력 중 추상화, 자료 분석, 자동화에 대한 부분의 개선이 필요함을 보였다. 예비 교원을 교육할 때 SW 개발 도구인 엔트리를 벗어나, 분석과 설계 역량을 키울 수 있는 교육 방법이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.
