Abstract

In this paper, we propose an effective software education model for youths with disability. This software education model consists of a four-step process. In the first step, it draws the education curriculum of the software education for different types of disabled youths based on the results of comparative analysis of software education field in special education curriculum. In the second step, it suggests achievement standards for effective software education for the disabled students by classifying students with intellectual disabilities and visual, hearing, and physical disabilities without any multiple disabilities. In the third step, the study developed a modular textbook comprised of unplugged activities using coding robot Albert, physical computing, and block/text coding with the reflection of the characteristic of each type of disability. In the fourth step, it applied the textbook to the school field and educated disabled students focusing on experience to allow them to think logically and by stages about different problems they face in daily lives. In addition, by analyzing the results of youths' performance evaluation and surveys, it was shown that 82.3% of developmental disabilities, 78.8% of visual impairments, 90.9% of hearing impairments, and 78.8% of physically disabilities achieved achievements above the "medium" level. These results prove that the software education model for youths with disabilities proposed in this paper is very effective in improving computational chinking of youths with disabilities.

본 논문에서는 장애 유형별 청소년 소프트웨어 교육을 위한 효과적인 소프트웨어 교육 모델을 제안한다. 이 소프트웨어 교육 모델은 4단계 과정으로 구성된다. 첫 번째 단계에서는 특수교육 교육과정에서 소프트웨어 교육 영역을 비교 분석한 결과를 기반으로 장애 유형별 청소년 소프트웨어 교육을 위한 교육과정을 도출한다. 두 번째 단계에서는 지적장애와 중복장애가 없는 시각, 청각, 지체 장애로 구분하여 장애 청소년의 효과적인 소프트웨어 교육을 위한 성취기준을 도출한다. 세 번째 단계에서는 도출한 성취기준에 따라 장애 유형별 장애 특성을 반영하여 코딩 로봇 알버트 기반의 언플러그드 컴퓨팅, 피지컬 컴퓨팅, 블록/텍스트 코딩으로 구성된 모듈식 교재를 개발한다. 네 번째 단계에서는 이 교재를 학교 현장에 적용하여 장애 청소년들이 일상생활에서 접하는 다양한 문제를 스스로 절차적이고 논리적으로 사고할 수 있도록 체험 중심의 소프트웨어 교육을 실시한다. 그리고 장애 청소년의 성취도 평가와 설문조사를 통한 결과를 분석하여 지적장애 82.3%, 시각장애 78.8%, 청각장애 90.9%, 지체장애 78.8%의 장애 청소년들이 '중' 수준 이상의 성취도를 달성하였음을 보인다. 이러한 결과는 본 논문에서 제안한 장애 청소년을 위한 소프트웨어 교육 모델이 장애 청소년의 컴퓨팅 사고력 향상에 매우 효과적임을 검증한 것이다.
