Abstract

Purpose of the Study : This study aims to propose alternative church education methodologies utilizing generative AI in the age of artificial intelligence. To achieve this, a project-based church education program using generative AI was developed and applied for a weekend retreat at Y Church's youth ministry located in Seoul. The study involved 18 youth participants and 5 teachers, and was conducted over two weekends, from February 17-18 and February 24-25, 2024, in a non-residential format. Contents and Method : The research methods included developing and applying the generative AI-based Bible education program, then assessing program satisfaction, effectiveness, and the internalization of faith through surveys and interviews with students, teachers, and the overseeing pastor. Satisfaction was measured using pre- and post-program questionnaires, while effectiveness was evaluated through pre- and post-program mind map assessments. To measure the internalization of faith, reflection journals and interviews were conducted. Conlusion : Analysis of the data from the 16 participants who attended both pre- and post-assessments revealed satisfaction with various aspects, including preferences for educational content, the value of educational activities, effort in participating in activities, perceived competence in the activities, preferences for the educators, preferences for the institution, and willingness to recommend the program to peers. The average satisfaction score increased from 11.92 before the program to 27.25 after, showing a significant increase of 15.33, which is statistically significant at the .05 level. Although the changes in faith maturity were not explicitly detailed, a slight change in faith through practical learning was observed. Additionally, the cognitive aspects of the learning content showed longer-lasting effects compared to typical retreats.

연구 목적 : 본 연구는 인공지능 시대 속에 생성형 AI를 활용한 대안적 교회교육 방법론을 제안하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구 내용 및 방법 : 이를 위해 서울특별시에 위치한 Y교회 청소년부를 대상으로 주말 수련회를 위한 프로젝트 기반 생성형 AI 활용 교회교육 프로그램을 개발 및 적용했다. 연구 대상은 청소년 18명과 교사 5명이었고, 기간은 2024년 2월 17~18일, 24~25일로 주말을 중심으로 비숙박형으로 진행되었다. 연구방법은 프로젝트 기반 생성형 AI를 활용 성경교육 프로그램을 개발 및 적용 후 학생, 교사, 담당 목회자를 대상으로 프로그램 만족도와 효과성, 신앙의 내면화를 확인했다. 만족도는 사전, 사후 설문지를 활용했고, 효과성을 확인하기 위해서 사전, 사후 마인드맵 검사를 진행했다. 그리고 신앙의 내면화를 측정하기 위해서 성찰저널과 면담을 실시했다. 결론 및 제언 : 사전, 사후 검사에 모두 참석한 16명을 대상으로 분석한 결과 교육내용 선호도, 교육 활동의 가치, 교육활동 참여에 대한 노력, 교육 활동에 대한 유능감, 교육담당자에 대한 선호도, 교육 기관에 대한 선호도, 교육에 대한 또래 추천 의지에 대해 모두 만족하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 교육 프로그램의 만족도는 사전 평균 점수는 11.92였고, 사후 평균점수는 27.25로 15.33 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 통계적으로 유의수준 .05에서 유의미한 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 신앙성숙에 대한 부분은 구체적으로 표현되고 있지는 않았으나, 실천적인 배움을 통해 약간의 신앙적 변화 모습을 감지는 할 수 있었다. 또한 학습 내용에 대한 인지적인 부분은 일반적인 수련회 보다는 오래 지속되고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
