Abstract

The analysis targeted the curriculum of general, subject education, and apecial activities that are required for SW education of 11 universities of education where SWEET project is applied. The results showed that the average credits related to SW education in elementary school teacher training institutions were 2.2 for general, 2.3 for subject education, and 0.6 for special activities. As a result of analyzing the changes in the curriculum by year, it can be interpreted as an effect of the SWEET project because the proportion of credits and hours in subject education increased and because the proportions of general and special activities decreased. However, on average, the credit related to SW education was 5.1, whereas the credits related to mathematics and science were 6.5 and 7.8, respectively, which indicated a need for revising and improving the curriculum for SW education.

SWEET 사업은 초등교원양성 기관의 교육과정을 SW 교육으로 개선하고, 컴퓨터 교육 심화전공의 내실화를 갖추는 것을 목적으로 진행되었다. 본 연구는 SWEET 사업이 시작된 2018년도를 기준으로 예비교사의 SW 교육 역량을 향상시키기 위해 변화된 내용을 살펴보고, 사업의 효과성을 분석하는 것이다. 분석은 SWEET 사업이 적용된 전국 교육대학교와 교육대학 11개 기관의 SW 교육 관련 필수로 이수하는 교양, 교과, 실기의 교육과정을 대상으로 하였다. 연구결과, 초등교원양성 기관의 SW 교육과 관련된 학점은 평균적으로 교양이 2.2학점, 교과 2.3학점, 실기 0.6학점을 운영하고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 교육과정의 년도별 추이를 분석한 결과, SW 교육관련 교과의 학점과 시수 비중은 늘리고 교양과 실기의 비중은 감소하는 것으로 분석되어, SWEET 사업의 효과라고 해석할 수 있다. 하지만, 이수학점이 평균적으로 SW 교육이 5.1학점인 것에 반하여 수학 6.5학점, 과학 7.8학점인 것으로 분석되어 향후 SW 교육을 위한 교육과정의 개선에 시사하는 바가 크다고 할 수 있다.
