Abstract

The upcoming 'creativity society' beyond the knowledge information era requires 'knowledge producers' being capable of expressing their own ideas creatively, rather than 'knowledge consumers'. These days, in the computing environment, physical computing tools which support learners' productive activities beyond their simple function of operating computers are emerging. Among them, Raspberry Pi is exemplary. The computing PC worthy $35 is economic and supports implementation of interactive physical system through the H/W and programming control to detect and respond to the analog world. As a fundamental study of educational application of Raspberry Pi at elementary school and Raspberry Pi, this work was to look into characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, and application examples of the computing tool. Also this researcher conducted a survey with teachers in field to investigate the suitability of Raspberry Pi as a tool in the category of 'understanding of information devices and to explore their awareness of Raspberry Pi. As a result, it was analyzed that Raspberry Pi was a learning tool to support about 74% of educational contents and that teachers showed positive replies in all categories of the survey of their awareness.

지식정보화시대를 넘어 다가올 '창조사회'에서는 '지식 소비자'가 아닌 자신의 생각을 창의적으로 표현할 수 있는 '지식 생산자'를 필요로 한다. 최근에 컴퓨팅 환경도 컴퓨터를 단순히 조작하는 것을 넘어 학습자의 생산적 활동을 지원하는 초소형 PC들이 출현하고 있다. 그중 대표적인 라즈베리 파이는 $35의 경제적인 PC이면서 아날로그 세계를 감지하고 반응할 수 있는 하드웨어와 프로그래밍 제어를 통한 인터렉티브한 물리적 시스템 구현을 지원하고 있다. 본 연구는 초등학교에서 라즈베리 파이의 교육적 활용에 관한 기초 연구로서 라즈베리 파이의 특징, 장단점, 활용 사례를 살펴보았다. 또한 현장교사를 대상으로 '정보기기의 이해' 영역의 도구적 적합성 검토 및 라즈베리 파이에 대한 인식조사를 병행하였다. 검토결과 교육내용의 약 74%를 지원하는 학습도구로 분석되었으며 인식조사에서는 거의 모든 항목에서 교사들이 긍정적 반응을 나타내었다.
