Abstract

AI(Artificial intelligence) is gradually taking up a large part of our lives, and the pace of AI development is accelerating. It is called ACT that develop students' computational thinking in the way artificial intelligence learns. Among ACTs, pattern recognition is an essential factor in efficiently solving problems. Pattern analysis is part of the pattern recognition process. In fact, Netflix's personalized movie recommendation service and what it named Covid-19 after repeated symptoms are all the results of pattern analysis. While the importance of ACT, including pattern recognition, is highlighted, software education for kindergarten and elementary school lower grades is much insufficient compared to foreign countries. Therefore, this study aims to design and develop textbooks for the development of artificial intelligence-based computational thinking through pattern analysis for kindergarten students.

인공지능은 우리의 삶에 점차 많은 부분을 차지하고 있으며, 발전하는 속도도 빨라지고 있다. 학생들의 컴퓨팅 사고력을 인공지능이 학습하는 방법대로 길러주는 것을 ACT(AI based Computational Thinking)라고 한다. ACT 중 패턴 인식은 문제를 효율적으로 해결하기 위해 필수적인 요소이다. 패턴 분석은 패턴 인식 과정의 일부로 볼 수 있다. 실제로 넷플릭스의 개인 맞춤 영화 추천, 반복된 증상을 분석하여 코로나 바이러스로 명명하는 것 등이 모두 패턴 분석의 결과이다. 패턴인식을 포함한 ACT의 중요성이 부각되는 것에 반면, 유치원과 초등학교 저학년을 대상으로 한 소프트웨어 교육은 국외에 비해 많이 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유치원 학생들을 대상으로 하여 패턴 분석을 통한 인공지능 기반 컴퓨팅 사고력 계발을 위한 교재를 설계하고 개발하였다.
