Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to distance learning in primary and secondary school. Little has been known whether home ICTs environment is appropriate for the distance learning. This paper aims to assess the current state of ICTs environment at home for the distance learning of children. Using 2012 and 2019 Korean Media Panel Survey, we investigated the number of smart devices owned by households and found differences in ownership by household characteristics. The results showed that the majority of household owned more than one smart devices per child. However, the difference in the proportion of households with less than one device per child varied depending on whether smartphone was included in smart devices. These results imply that public intervention is needed to prevent educational inequality caused by the home ICTs environment for the distance learning.

코로나19 확산으로 초·중·고등학교에서 비대면 원격수업이 시행되고 있으나 가정의 ICTs 환경이 어떻게 갖추어져 있는지에 대한 실증데이터를 분석한 연구는 부족한 상황이다. 가정의 ICTs 환경이 원격수업에 적합한지 알아보기 위해 한국미디어패널조사 데이터를 사용하여 2012년과 2019년 사이 스마트기기 보유량의 변화와 가구 특성에 따른 스마트기기 보유량 차이를 살펴보았다. 본 연구결과에 따르면 2012년에 비해 2019년에는 데스크톱 PC 보유량은 줄어들었으나 노트북 PC, 태블릿 PC, 스마트폰의 보유량이 증가하여 전체적으로는 대부분의 가정에서 원격수업 환경이 갖추어진 것으로 볼 수 있다. 그러나 스마트기기에서 스마트폰을 제외할 경우, 가구소득 500만원 미만 가정에서는 자녀수 별로 원격수업에 필요한 기기를 갖추지 못한 비율이 약 30%로 나타나 가구소득에 따라 원격수업 여건이 다름을 보여준다. 본 연구는 가정의 ICTs 환경을 분석하고 소득집단에 따라 보유 기기 유형의 차이가 있음을 확인함으로써 원격수업으로 인한 불평등을 방지하기 위한 개입 지점을 제시한다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
