Abstract

In the era of the fourth industrial revolution, the importance of artificial intelligence(AI) is growing day by day, and there is no disagreement that AI education will bring great innovation in the future. Various attempts are being made to educate the topic of AI, but students who have no experience in AI education recognize AI only as a difficult target. Therefore, in this study, we analyze the changes in students' perception of AI by teaching them using AI. AI convergence education were conducted for 6th grade elementary school students, and pre and post tests were conducted in the form of AI awareness survey questionnaires which included questions such as interest in AI, changes brought by AI, and AI education. As a result, we confirm significant results that suggest the level of awareness of AI has improved through AI education in all factors. AI convergence education requires various AI convergence education programs as a form of education for social needs and future students, and hopefully a design based on this will help realize student centered education.

4차 산업혁명 시대에 인공지능의 중요성은 나날이 커지고 있으며, 인공지능 교육이 미래에 큰 혁신을 가져오리라는 것에 대해 이견이 없다. 인공지능 교육을 위해 다양한 시도가 이루어지고 있지만, 인공지능 교육에 대한 경험이 없는 학생들은 인공지능을 어렵고 두려운 대상으로만 인식하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 인공지능 융합교육을 시행한 후에 학생들의 인공지능에 대한 인식 변화를 분석하였다. 인공지능 융합 교육을 초등학교 6학년 학생들을 대상으로 6차시 동안 진행하였으며, 인공지능에 관한 관심, 인공지능이 가지고 올 변화, 인공지능 교육에 대한 이해 등 인공지능 인식조사 설문지를 바탕으로 사전-사후검사를 진행하였다. 그 결과 모든 요소에서 인공지능 융합 교육을 통하여 인공지능에 대한 인식 정도가 향상되었다는 유의미한 결과를 확인하였다. 인공지능 융합 교육이 사회적인 요구와 미래 학생을 위한 교육으로써의 역할을 충실히 수행하기 위해서는 다양한 인공지능 융합 교육 프로그램의 개발이 필요하며, 이를 바탕으로 학생 중심의 교육 실행이 필요할 것이다.
