Abstract

With the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, education on artificial intelligence is one of the important topics. However, since existing education is aimed at knowledge, it is not suitable for developing the active problem-solving ability and AI utilization ability required by artificial intelligence education. To solve this problem, we proposes PBL-based education method in which learners learn in the process of solving the presented problem. The problem presented to the learner is a completed project. This project consists of three types: a classification model, the training data of the classification model, and the block code to be executed according to the classified result. The project works, but each component is designed to perform a low level of operation. In order to solve this problem, the learners can expect to improve their computational thinking skills by finding problems in the project through testing, finding solutions through discussion, and improving to a higher level of operation.

4차 산업혁명 시대가 도래하면서 인공지능에 대한 교육이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 강의식 교육은 지식의 전달을 목적으로 두고 있어 인공지능 분야에서 요구하는 능동적인 문제해결 능력과 인공지능 활용능력을 기르는 데 어려움을 겪는다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위해 학습자가 제시된 문제를 해결하는 과정에서 학습이 이루어지는 문제 중심학습 기반 교육 방안을 제안한다. 학습자들에게 제공되는 문제는 완성된 하나의 프로젝트이다. 이 프로젝트는 3가지 종류로 구성된다. 분류 모델, 분류 모델의 학습 데이터, 분류된 결과에 따라 실행될 블록 코드. 해당 프로젝트는 동작은 하지만 각각의 구성요소들이 낮은 동작 수준을 보이도록 설계되어 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 학습자들은 테스팅을 통해 프로젝트의 문제점을 찾고 토론을 통해 해결책을 찾아 좀 더 높은 동작 수준으로 개선하는 과정을 거치며 컴퓨팅 사고력 향상을 기대할 수 있다.
