Abstract

Even though software (SW) education has not been considered part of the current national kindergarten curriculum, in practice there is growing interest in adopting it. Teachers would be expected to play a key role in the successful introduction and implementation of new educational changes, such as SW education. In preparation for its adoption in ECE, it would be useful to determine ECE teachers' perception and attitudes toward early childhood software education. For this study, 219 ECE teachers' level of concern toward SW education was surveyed using the Stages of Concern Questionnaire. It was found that the teachers' level of concern was the highest at stage 0-Unconcerned and that they had high levels of stage management, personal and informational concern. Thus, a non-user pattern was mostly indicated. However, compared to the typical non-user pattern, the pattern aspect close to critical non-user ever appeared to some extent. In addition, a significant difference in the level of concern was shown at all stages depending on the awareness of the necessity for SW education. The teachers with SW training experience showed a higher intensity only at stage 0. There was a statistically significant difference in stages 0 and 6 depending on the future implementation decision. These results will be utilized as a resource in building an ECE teachers' support system according to their level of concern about SW education.

올해부터 시행되는 소프트웨어 교육의 초 중 고등교육에의 정규 교육과정 편성을 앞두고 유아를 대상으로 한 소프트웨어 교육에 대한 관심 역시 높아지고 있다. 이러한 시점에서 본 연구는 유치원 교사의 소프트웨어 교육에 대한 관심도를 관심중심수용모형(CBAM)을 통해 알아봄으로써 유아 소프트웨어교육의 도입을 위한 유아교사교육 방안에의 시사점을 얻고자 하였다. 이를 위해 B광역시 소재 유치원에 재직하고 있는 교사 219명을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 간이 채점표를 적용하여 상대적 강도로 전환하고 이를 관심도 프로파일 그래프로 나타내었고 배경변인에 따른 관심도 차이를 알아보기 위해 독립 t 검증을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 유치원 교사의 소프트웨어 교육에 대한 관심도는 0단계(지각)가 가장 높고, 운영적, 개인적, 정보적 관심 순으로 높은 수준으로 나타나 대체적으로 비사용자 패턴을 띄었으나 전형적 비사용자 패턴에 비해 비판적 비사용자에 가까운 패턴을 나타내었다. 필요성 인식에 따른 소프트웨어교육에 대한 관심도에 차이를 분석한 결과 모든 단계에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였고, 교육 및 연수 경험에 따른 소프트웨어 교육에 대한 관심도 차이를 분석한 결과는 0단계(지각)에서만, 그리고 향후 실행 계획 유무에 따른 소프트웨어 교육에 대한 관심도 차이를 분석한 결과는 0단계(지각), 6단계(재초점)에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 프로파일 그래프 형태는 전체 평균에 의한 패턴과 비교적 유사한 비사용자 형태를 유지하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 유아교사의 소프트웨어 교육에 대한 관심도 패턴을 전환시키고 소프트웨어 교육역량을 증진시키기 위한 방안이 제안되었다.
