Abstract

Recently, there are efforts to improve my learning ability by using various learning tools based on ICT technology. The application such as games is used in conjunction with lecture class to induce interest in the class and to enhance the learning effect by using smartphone app as learning tool. In addition, we are trying to improve creative thinking ability, problem solving ability and logical thinking ability through early coding education. In this paper, we describe the learning and quiz app using the app inventor and conducted the related questionnaire. We developed a learning philosophy for preliminary early childhood teachers using the developed apps and taught them how to utilize them in early childhood education by explaining the apps and using the app inventor. Through questionnaires, we confirmed the learning effect and the willingness to use in early childhood education. Through this study, I hope to improve the ability of early childhood teacher learning and to utilize the coding in early childhood education with the app developed as the app inventor.

최근 ICT 기술 기반의 다양한 학습 도구를 이용해 학습 능력을 높이려고 하고 있다. 게임과 같은 응용프로그램을 강의식 수업과 병행하여 수업에서 대한 흥미를 유발하고 스마트 폰 앱을 학습 도구로 활용하여 학습 효과를 높이고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 조기 코딩 교육을 통해서 창의적 사고능력, 문제해결 능력, 논리적 사고능력를 키우고자 노력하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 앱 인벤터를 활용한 학습 및 퀴즈 앱으로 수업을 진행하고 개발된 앱을 설명한 후 앱 관련 설문을 진행하였다. 개발된 앱을 활용하여 예비 유아교사에게 교육철학에 대한 학습을 진행 하였고 그 앱에 대한 설명과 앱 인벤터를 활용하여 유아 교육에 활용할 수 있도록 교육하였다. 설문을 통해서 학습 효과 및 유아 교육에서 활용 의사를 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해서 앱 인벤터로 개발된 앱으로 유아 교사 학습 능력 향상 및 유아 교육에서 코딩을 활용할 수 있도록 하고자 한다.
