Abstract

Recently, domestic and international educational institutions and educational sites have been continuously trying to promote various educational policies and creating educational cases related to artificial intelligence. In addition, it is necessary to identify subjects and areas that require AI-based teaching and learning support in various situations such as large classes or non-face-to-face classes, and provide appropriate support accordingly. Currently, the gap in Korean language proficiency among students entering elementary school is very large depending on the literacy environment of their homes, and this gap in Korean language proficiency affects not only Korean language subjects but also all subjects, so appropriate teaching and learning support according to each student's writing ability is required. Therefore, in this study, we developed and applied a Korean language education app that utilizes AI voice recognition and text recognition functions to verify its effect on the writing ability of first-grade elementary school students. As a result of the study, we confirmed that the AI-based Korean language education app had a positive effect on improving the writing ability of first-grade elementary school students, and suggested a method that can be used for Korean language writing education in elementary schools.

최근 국내외 교육 기관 및 교육 현장에서는 인공지능과 관련된 다양한 교육 정책 추진 및 교육 사례를 제작하려는 시도가 지속적으로 이루어지고 있다. 또한 다인수 학급이나 비대면 수업 등 다양한 상황에서 인공지능 기반 교수·학습 지원이 필요한 교과 및 영역을 파악하여 그에 따른 적절한 지원이 이루어질 필요가 있다. 현재 초등학교 입학 초기 학생들 간 한글 해득 격차는 가정의 문식 환경에 따라 매우 크게 벌어지고 있으며 이러한 한글 해득 격차는 국어 교과뿐만 아니라 모든 교과 학습에 영향을 미치므로 개별 학생의 쓰기 능력에 따른 적절한 교수·학습 지원이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 인공지능 음성인식 및 텍스트 인식 기능을 활용한 한글 교육용 앱(App)을 개발하고 적용함으로써 초등학교 1학년 학생의 쓰기 능력에 미치는 영향을 검증하였다. 연구 결과는 인공지능 기반 한글 교육용 앱이 초등학교 1학년 학생의 쓰기 능력 신장에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였고 초등학교 한글 쓰기 교육에 활용할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.
