Abstract

The dissemination of smart appliances, along with the development of the latest information and communication technology has an effect on society. Their application can be seen in the smart learning environment, by use of digital textbooks with smart devices in the classroom. Hence in this study, the 4L-ACC activity using digital textbooks was applied in the third grade social studies class to improve critical thinking and problem solving skills of elementary school students. This study compared and analyzed the impact in critical thinking and problem-solving skills using digital textbooks versus standard social studies classes. As a result, in social studies classes that used the 4L-ACC activity compared to common social studies classes, elementary student's problem understanding, critical thinking, problem resolution, reflective thinking, and all lower areas of critical thinking and problem-solving were improved. In conclusion, using digital textbooks enhance student's ability to think critically and problem solve. This should provide learners a more comprehensive learning experience and therefore be integrated into more education environment.

최신 정보통신기술의 발전과 더불어 스마트기기의 보급은 사회 전반에 영향을 미치고 있으며, 교육현장에서도 스마트기기를 이용한 디지털교과서의 활용 교육과 같은 스마트교육 환경의 확산이 이루어지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 초등학생의 비판적 사고력 및 문제해결력을 신장시키기 위해 디지털교과서 활용 4L-ACC 활동을 초등학교 3학년 사회과 수업에서 적용하고 디지털교과서 활용 수업과 일반적인 사회과 수업이 비판적 사고력 및 문제해결력에 미치는 영향을 각각 비교, 분석하였다. 그 결과, 일반적인 사회과 수업보다 디지털교과서 활용 4L-ACC 활동을 실시한 사회과 수업에서 초등학생들의 문제이해, 비판적사고, 해결방안적용, 반성적 사고 등 비판적 사고력 및 문제해결력의 모든 하위 영역이 신장되었다. 이는 디지털교과서 활용 수업이 학생들의 문제이해, 비판적사고, 해결방안적용, 반성적 사고 등의 역량을 키우며, 이를 종합하여 비판적 사고력 및 문제해결력을 향상시켜 준다고 볼 수 있다.
