초록

코로나 이후 급격한 현대사회의 변화는 인공지능 인재가 국가 경쟁력을 좌우하는 주요한 영향요인으로 부각시겼다. 이에 따라 교육부에서는 인공지능 교육 공백기에 있는 초등학교 4-6학년과 중고등학생의 디지털 역량을 개발시키기 위해 대단위 SW·AI 캠프 교육 사업을 기획하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 초등학교 4-6학년 학생들을 대상으로 하는 캠프 형 SW·AI교육프로그램을 개발하여 초등학교 4-6학년 학생들로 하여금 인공지능 기초소양을 갖추도록 하고자 한다. 이를 위해 초등학교에서의 SW·AI 교육의 의미를 정의하고 초등학교과정에서 다루어야 할 SW·AI 내용으로 'SW·AI의 이해', 'SW·AI의 원리와 활용' 및 'SW·AI의 사회적 영향'을 설정하였다. 또한 설정된 초등학교 SW·AI 교육학습 요소와 현재 초등학교에서 사용하고 있는 교과서의 관련 교과 및 단원과의 연계를 시도하였다. 교육에 사용되는 프로그램으로는 블록코딩 기반의 소프트웨어 코딩 학습 도구인 엔트리를 통하여 소프트웨어 프로그래밍 기초 역량을 강화하도록 하였으며, 모든 프로그램은 초등학생의 발달적 특징을 고려하여 경험과 체험 위주의 참여자 중심으로 운영되도록 설계하였다. 본 연구에서 이루어진 SW·AI 캠프 교육 프로그램은 방과 후 과정이나 방학 등을 이용하여 단기간에 운영되는 프로그램이다. 따라서 이를 토대로 초등학교 과정에서 SW·AI 교육이 정규교육과정의 일원으로 편성되어 운영되기 위해서는 정규교과 내용분석과 SW·AI 교육내용의 심층적인 분석을 기초로 한 연구가 필요함을 제언하는 바이다.

Rapid changes in modern society after the COVID-19 have highlighted artificial intelligence talent as a major influencing factor in determining national competitiveness. Accordingly, the Ministry of Education planned a large-scale SW·AI camp education project to develop the digital capabilities of 4th to 6th grade elementary school students and middle and high school students who are in a vacuum in artificial intelligence education. Therefore, this study aims to develop a camp-type SW·AI education program for students in grades 4-6 of elementary school so that students in grades 4-6 of elementary school can acquire basic knowledge in artificial intelligence. For this, the meaning of SW·AI education in elementary school is defined and SW·AI contents to be dealt with in elementary school are: understanding of SW AI, 'principle and application of SW AI', and 'social impact of SW AI' was set. In addition, an attempt was made to link the set elements of elementary school SW AI education and learning with related subjects and units of textbooks currently used in elementary schools. As for the program used for education, entry, a software coding learning tool based on block coding, is designed to strengthen software programming basic competency, and all programs are designed to be operated centered on experience and experience-oriented participants in consideration of the developmental characteristics of elementary school students. In order for SW·AI education to be organized and operated as a member of the regular curriculum, it is suggested that research based on the analysis of regular curriculum contents and in-depth analysis of SW·AI education contents is necessary.
