Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the current state of coding education for children and to propose a new 'play-oriented' educational content to keep up with the problems of education in line with the revision process of the 4th Industrial Revolution. As a research method, we investigated and analyzed the case of the Korean early childhood coding education program, and then suggested the direction of the future infant coding education and suggested a new play area for children. Case analysis shows that current coding education places many restrictions on children's activities. So we propose a coding education space as a 'playing space' where children can actively play. Because the space is used, emotional education is possible because it can stimulate senses such as vision, touch and smell. In addition, this study is expected to cultivate not only spatial comprehension, but also imagination, creativity and cooperation. In future research, we will study the characteristics and technical process of children in-depth to help develop early childhood education.

본 연구는 4차 산업혁명 시대의 교육 개정과정에 발맞춰 어린이들을 위한 코딩 교육의 현황을 파악하고 이의 문제점을 보완할 새로운 '놀이 중심'의 교육 콘텐츠를 제안하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구 방법으로는 국내의 유아 코딩 교육 프로그램 사례를 조사하고 분석한 뒤, 차후 유아코딩교육의 방향성을 제시하고 새로운 코딩 교육용 어린이 놀이공간을 제시하였다. 사례 분석 결과, 현 코딩 교육은 어린이의 활동성에 제약을 많이 두고 있다. 하여 본 연구에서는 아이들이 활발하게 뛰어놀 수 있는 '놀이 공간'으로써의 코딩 교육 공간을 제시한다. 공간을 이용했기 때문에 아이들의 시각, 촉각, 후각 등 오감을 자극할 수 있어 감성적 교육이 가능하다. 또한, 이 연구를 통해 공간 이해능력은 물론, 상상력과 창의성, 협동심까지도 기를 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 차후 연구에서는 유아들의 특성과 기술적 프로세스를 심층적으로 연구해 향후 유아 교육의 발전에 도움이 되고자 한다.
