Abstract

Recently, there is an increasing number of universities in which SW education is operated as a liberal arts education regardless of major. In this paper, the survey is conducted to analysis the factors affecting the non-majors students' perception of the necessity of SW education through a case study of SW liberal arts by gender, college, and SW learning experience. As a result, men, students of social science college, and students with SW learning experience strongly agreed that SW education for non-majors is essential. 'SW education is very helpful in studying my major' was analyzed as a necessary condition of SW education for non-majors. Especially, the difficulty of SW learning did not affect the recognition of the necessity of non-majors SW education. If the SW liberal education is based on the SW technology that helps their major, it will be expected that the improved learning motivation due to majors-relevance will deepen a consensus on SW education.

최근 SW교육이 전공과 상관없이 교양필수교육으로 운영되는 대학이 증가하고 있다. 본 논문은 교양필수로 운영된 SW교육의 수업 사례를 토대로 비전공자 SW교육의 필요성에 대한 인식에 영향을 주는 요소를 설문 조사를 통해 '성별, 단과대학별, SW학습경험유무별'로 살펴보았다. 그 결과 남자, 사회과학대학생, SW학습경험이 있는 경우, 비전공자 SW교육이 반드시 필요하다는 인식이 매우 강했고 'SW교육은 나의 전공을 공부하는 데 매우 도움이 된다'의 전공 관련성이 비전공자의 SW교육의 필요조건으로 함께 분석되었다. 특히 비전공자가 느끼는 SW학습 난이도는 비전공자 SW교육의 필요성에 관한 인식엔 큰 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 비전공자 SW교육이 자신의 전공에 도움을 주는 SW기술을 토대로 한다면 필수교과로서의 SW교육에 대해 깊은 공감대를 이끌 것으로 기대한다.
