Abstract

Training SW talent can have a positive impact on social development by increasing the competitiveness of our society in the era of The 4th Industrial Revolution. In order to train SW talent, this study analyzed 436 students in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade at B High School in S-si, Gyeonggi-do, how SW education is perceived by students, and how the timing of SW education affects students' SW-related career orientation. This study shows that the expansion of SW education in public education was necessary and groups which got an SW education since elementary school have higher career orientation related to SW than other groups. As a result, it could be inferred that getting SW education at an early stage had a positive impact on students' career orientation. Studies will be needed to analyze how SW education in the early stages works specifically on SW-related career orientation.

우수한 SW 인재를 양성하는 것은 4차 산업혁명 시대를 맞이하는 우리 사회의 경쟁력을 높여 사회 발전에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 우수한 SW 인재의 양성을 위하여 초, 중등 교육과정을 모두 경험한 경기도 S시 B고등학교 1학년부터 3학년까지 436명을 대상으로 고등학생이 SW 교육을 어떻게 인식하고 있는지 살펴보고, SW 교육 시작 시기가 학생들의 SW 관련 진로지향도에 어떤 영향을 주는지 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 공교육에서의 SW 교육의 확대가 필요하다는 것과 초등학교 시기부터 SW 교육을 받은 집단과 타 집단 사이에서 SW 관련 진로지향도에 유의미한 차이가 발생했다는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 상대적으로 이른 시기에 SW 교육을 받는 것이 학생들의 SW 관련 진로지향도에 긍정적인 영향을 준 것으로 해석하였다. 향후 이른 시기의 SW 교육의 특정 요소가 학생들의 SW 관련 진로지향도에 구체적으로 어떻게 작용하는지 분석하는 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
