Abstract

In preparation for the future society, the educational curriculum is changing according to the trend of the times, and with the advent of the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the purpose of the new 2015 revised curriculum was suggested to foster the convergence creativity of students. The purpose of software education is to promote creativity and further develop problem-solving skills in connection with real life. In addition, flow in learning leads to outstanding educational achievement. However, in elementary school computer education, there is still a lack of development of a convergence class model for students to easily immerse themselves and promote creative problem-solving skills. Therefore, in this study, we designed convergence computer education using Novel Engineering, which is a convergence class model suitable for these educational conditions and applied it to classes. Further, to measure the effect on the improvement of learning flow and creative problem-solving ability. the Novel Engineering-based computer class was applied to the experimental group for 6th graders, and the general computer class was applied to the control group. As a result of the pre-post test between groups, it was found that computer classes using Novel Engineering had a positive effect on learning flow and creative problem-solving ability.

미래 사회를 위한 대비로 교육과정은 시대의 흐름에 맞게 변화하고 있으며 4차 산업혁명 시대가 도래하면서 새로운 2015 개정 교육과정의 목적이 창의적인 융합인재를 육성하는 것으로 제시되었다. 소프트웨어 교육의 목적은 창의성 증진이며 나아가 실생활과 연계하여 문제해결력을 기르도록 하는 것이다. 또한, 학습에 대한 몰입도는 뛰어난 교육 성취로 이어진다. 그러나 여전히 초등학교 컴퓨터 교육에서는 학생들이 쉽게 몰입하고 창의적인 문제해결력을 증진하기 위한 융합수업 모델의 개발이 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 교육 여건에 맞는 융합수업 모델인 노벨엔지니어링(novel engineering)을 활용한 컴퓨터 융합교육을 설계하고, 이를 수업에 적용하였다. 그리고 학습 몰입도와 창의적 문제해결력 증진에 미치는 영향을 측정하기 위하여 초등학교 6학년을 대상으로 노벨엔지니어링 기반 컴퓨터 수업을 실험 집단에 적용하였고, 일반적인 컴퓨터 수업을 통제 집단에 적용하였다. 집단 간 사전-사후 검사 결과 노벨엔지니어링을 활용한 컴퓨터 수업은 학습몰입도와 창의적 문제해결력 신장에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
