Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the teaching competency for software education for young children. Teaching competency was derived through literature study and Delphi survey of expert groups. The derived competences are composed of 'selection of software education objectives-goals and educational contents', 'software curriculum planning and implementation' and 'evaluation and feedback of software curriculum'. The derived competencies were found to be 15 competencies in a total of 3 competencies groups. The relationship between the derived competencies and previous studies was discussed and implications were presented. The teaching competency derived from this study can be used for teacher education and instructional practice.

이 연구의 목적은 유아대상 소프트웨어 교육을 위한 교수역량을 규명하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 문헌연구 및 유아교육, 컴퓨터교육, 교육공학 전문가 집단의 3차 델파이 조사를 시행하여 교수역량을 도출하였다. 그 결과 '소프트웨어 교육목적·목표 및 교육내용 선정', '소프트웨어 교육과정 계획 및 운영', '소프트웨어 교육과정 평가 및 환류'의 3개 역량군 및 15개 역량이 도출되었다. 그리고 연구결과 도출된 교수역량과 선행연구와의 관련성을 논의하고 결과의 시사점을 제시하였다. 이 연구에서 분석된 교수역량은 이후 교사교육 및 교육실행 관점에서 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
