Abstract

Recently, interest in online teaching·learning and evaluation tools has increased in the context of Covid-19. In order to use tools effectively, it is necessary to identify the structural influence and causal relationship between the learner's affective and cognitive variables. In this study, to identify a causal relationship between motivation and thinking while using online judge, research and competing model were established and model fit/path analysis were performed. It was found that there was a linear causal relationship from tool usage, self-efficacy, flow, logical thinking, to computational thinking. It was confirmed that 'self-efficacy → flow', or 'flow' had mediating effect on the path from tool usage to thinking, and tool usage was not exerted to thinking through 'flow → self-efficacy'. The causality of 'logical thinking → computational thinking' was identified on the path where tool usage affects thinking ability through learning motivation, but the causality of 'computational thinking → logical thinking' was not identified.

최근 코로나19 상황으로 인한 비대면 교육의 확산으로 온라인 교수·학습 및 평가 도구에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 도구의 효과적인 활용을 위해서는 학습자의 정의적, 인지적 변인 간의 구조적 영향력과 인과 관계에 대한 규명이 필요하다. 본 연구는 '온라인 저지'를 활용하는 프로그래밍 교육에서 도구의 활용 횟수, 자기효능감, 몰입, 컴퓨팅 사고력, 논리적 사고력으로 구성된 연구 모형과 경쟁 모형을 설정하고, 모형의 적합도와 경로 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, '도구의 활용 횟수 → 자기효능감 → 몰입 → 논리적 사고력 → 컴퓨팅 사고력'에 이르는 인과 관계를 규명하였고, 도구의 활용 횟수가 학습 동기를 거쳐 사고력에 영향을 미치는 경로 상에 '자기효능감 → 몰입'의 이중 매개 효과, 또는 '몰입'의 단독 매개 효과를 확인하는 동시에 '몰입 → 자기효능감'의 이중 매개 변인으로는 도구의 활용 횟수가 사고력으로 발현되지 않음을 확인하였다. 한편, 동일한 경로 상에 '논리적 사고력 → 컴퓨팅 사고력'의 경로는 규명되었으나, '컴퓨팅 사고력 → 논리적 사고력'의 경로는 규명되지 않았다.
