Abstract

It is urgent in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution that students become creative and integrative thinkers. In this vein, in the last few years, drawing upon constructivism as an innovative learning paradigm, new coding curricula using MIT's Scratch have been introduced in the number of countries to enhance computational thinking (CT). However, constructivism encouraging collaborative and active learning may not be explicitly utilized in instructional design focusing mainly on learning to code as technical skills - some of which exist today in large numbers of school and after-school code activities. To respond to such a misleading way of developing CT through coding, the present study aims to propose the benefits of CT self-assessment rubrics for primary pre-service teachers within a CT course entitled "Problem Solving by Computational Thinking". Our findings show how meaningful collaborative CT self-assessment in a group impacts their learning of CT. We end this paper with the discussion of implications of our findings for CT assessment towards a new paradigm in education.

창의적 사고와 융합이 중요시되는 4차 산업 혁명 시대를 성공적으로 맞이하기 위해 전 세계적으로 컴퓨팅 사고력(Computational Thinking: CT) 증진을 위한 코딩(coding) 교육이 대두되고 있다. 특히 MIT 미디어 연구소에서 개발한 스크래치(Scratch)를 활용한 코딩 교육은 기존의 전통적인 교육패러다임을 벗어나서, 학습자들이 능동적이고 협력적 활동에 참여하는 구성주의 교수법을 강조하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 교육 패러다임 변화에 대한 인식이 부족하기 때문에 실제 학교나 사교육 현장에서는 코딩 교육이라는 명목하에 프로그래밍 언어에 관련된 테크닉이 주로 강조 되는 경향이 있다. 이에 본 연구는 구성주의적 교수-학습에 입각한 CT 평가 도구를 개발하고 실행하는 것에 초점을 두었다. 그리고 CT 자기 평가 도구의 교육적 가치를 연구하기 위해 '컴퓨팅 사고력을 활용한 문제해결'이라는 과목을 수강한 초등예비교사들이 CT 역량 평가 루브릭을 활용한 결과를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 협력이 강조되는 구성주의 교수법을 반영한 CT 자기 평가를 디자인하고 실현하는 과정을 매개로 하여, 초등예비교사들이 문제해결 과정을 체험하고 CT역량을 증진시키는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 도출된 CT 교육 및 평가에 대한 개선점을 제언하였다.
