Abstract

In the future, artificial intelligence (AI) technology is expected to become a general-purpose technology (GPT), and it is predicted that AI competency will become an essential competency. Several nations around the world are fostering experts in the field of AI to achieve technological proficiency while working to develop the necessary infrastructure and educational environment. In this study, we investigated the status of software education at the liberal arts level at 31 universities in Seoul, along with precedents from domestic and foreign AI education research. Based on this, we concluded that an AI literacy education model is needed to link software education at the liberal arts level with professional AI education. And we classified 20 AI-related lectures released in the KOCW according to the AI literacy competencies required; based on the results of this classification, we propose a model for AI literacy education in the liberal arts for undergraduate students. The proposed AI literacy education model may be considered as AI·SW convergence to experience AI along with literacy in the humanities, deviating from the existing theoretical and computer-science-based approach. We expect that our proposed AI literacy education model can contribute to the proliferation of AI.

다가오는 미래사회에서는 인공지능 기술이 범용기술이 될 것이며, 인공지능 역량이 필수 역량이 될 것으로 예측되고 있다. 이에 전 세계 주요 국가들은 AI 경쟁력을 갖추기 위해 AI 전문가를 육성하고, 누구나 AI를 이해하고, 설명하며, 응용할 수 있는 인프라와 교육 환경을 갖추기 위해 노력하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내·외 인공지능 교육의 선행 연구 사례와 함께 서울 소재 31개 종합대학의 SW 교양 교육 현황을 조사했으며, 이를 바탕으로 SW 교양 교육과 전문적인 AI 교육을 연계할 수 있는 AI 리터러시 교육 모델이 필요하다는 결론을 도출하였다. 이에 KOCW에 공개된 20개의 AI 관련 강좌를 AI 리터러시 역량을 중심으로 분류하였으며, 분류된 결과를 바탕으로 대학생을 위한 AI 리터러시 교양 교육 모델을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 AI 리터러시 교육 모델은 기존의 이론적 교육 모델이나 컴퓨터과학적 교육 모델과는 달리 인문학적 소양과 함께 인공지능을 체험할 수 있는 AI·SW 융합 교육 모델이다. 제안하는 AI 리터러시 교육 모델이 AI의 확산에 기여할 수 있기를 기대한다.
