초록

4차 산업혁명으로 인한 사회 변화에 발맞추어 해외에서도 미래의 교육을 위해 정보교육(information education)을 강화하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 해외 주요국에서 진행 중인 정보교육 중에서 초등학교의 소프트웨어 교육과 인공지능 교육의 현황을 살펴보고 현재 우리나라의 교육과 비교하였다. 주요국에 비해 우리나라의 초등학교의 소프트웨어 교육을 위한 시간은 매우 적었으며 이로 인해 교육과정의 성취기준의 내용을 충분히 다루지 못하고 있다. 또한, 해외 주요국들은 4차 산업혁명의 주요 기술인 인공지능의 중요성을 인지하고 소프트웨어 교육의 토대 위에서 인공지능 교육을 국가 차원에서 추진하고 있었다. 현재, 우리나라도 정부 차원에서 추진 중에 있지만 초등학교의 정보교육은 다양한 문제점을 갖고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 초등학교에 정보 교과를 신설해야 할 필요성을 강조하였다.

In line with the social changes due to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, foreign countries are strengthening information education for the future of education. This study analyzed the current status of software (SW) and artificial intelligence (AI) education among different types of information education programs in elementary schools of major foreign countries, and compared them with the education provided in Korea. Compared to major foreign countries, Korea allocated very little time for software education in elementary schools, making it difficult to sufficiently cover all areas of the curriculum achievement standards. In addition, other countries recognized the importance of artificial intelligence, an important technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and were providing artificial intelligence education on the basis of software education at the national level. The Korean government is also planning on providing the education at national level, but it was identified that the information education of elementary schools have many problematic issues. This study emphasized the need to establish an information curriculum for elementary schools as a way to address these issues.
