Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine effects of maker education for high-school students on attitude toward software education, creative problem solving, and computational thinking. The program was designed to develop an artificial intelligence robot using mBlock and Arduino and implemented at a maker space. We analyzed 19 students among 20 who participated in the program, the result of paired t-test indicated significant increase in all variables. Also, we performed a multiple regression analysis to investigate predictors of perceived achievement and satisfaction. The finding demonstrated an initial attitude toward software education was found to be the significant predictor of perceived achievement and satisfaction. With the results, we confirmed maker education enhances attitude toward software education, creative problem solving, and computational thinking. Lastly, we discussed the implications and limitations and suggested the direction for future research.

본 연구에서는 지역 고등학생들을 대상으로 아두이노를 기반으로 하는 인공지능 메이커 교육을 실시하고 소프트웨어 교육에 대한 태도, 창의적 문제해결력, 컴퓨팅 사고에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 이를 위해 mBlock과 아두이노를 기반으로 인공지능 로봇을 만들 수 있는 교육을 설계하여 학교 외부의 메이커 스페이스에서 교육을 실시하였다. 교육에 참여한 20명의 학생 중 19명의 데이터를 분석하였고, 대응표본 t-검정 결과 모든 부분에 있어 향상하였음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 학생들의 학업성취도 및 만족도에 대한 예측변인을 확인하기 위해 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 소프트웨어 교육에 대한 태도가 유의한 예측변인으로 확인되었다. 본 연구를 통해 메이커 교육이 소프트웨어 교육에 대한 태도, 창의적 문제해결력, 컴퓨팅 사고와 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 사실을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 연구의 의의와 시사점을 도출하였고, 마지막으로 연구의 제한점과 추후 연구를 제안하였다.
