Abstract

The interest in artificial intelligence education in education is also high based on recent social interest in artificial intelligence. Accordingly, Korea is preparing a foothold for revitalizing artificial intelligence education in the future, such as announcing an artificial intelligence education plan by expanding from software (SW) education that has become a regular curriculum after the 2015 revised curriculum, and various studies are being conducted. However, research on the curriculum related to what and how to educate in artificial intelligence education is still in its infancy and further research is needed. A look at related research shows many similarities and differences in research related to domestic and foreign AI curriculum, because there are differences in the areas and content elements that each research focuses on. Therefore, in this study, in preparation for the future independence of the information subject and the formalization of AI education, literature studies on domestic and foreign AI curriculum are conducted, and based on this, the direction of the curriculum composition for elementary school AI education is to be explored.

최근 인공지능(AI)에 대한 사회적인 관심에 따라 교육현장에서도 인공지능 교육에 대한 관심이 높다. 우리나라에서는 2015 개정 교육과정에서 정규 교육과정화된 소프트웨어(SW)교육에서 보다 확장하여 인공지능 교육 계획을 발표하는 등 향후 인공지능 교육 활성화를 위한 발판을 마련하고 있으며 관련하여 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 인공지능 교육에서 무엇을 어떻게 교육해야 하는가와 관련한 교육과정 구성에 대한 연구는 아직 초기 단계이며 지속적인 연구가 진행될 필요가 있는 영역이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 문헌 연구를 기반으로 국내외 AI교육과정과 관련한 연구의 공통점과 차이점을 분석해 보았다. 전반적으로 선행된 연구에서 중점을 두는 영역과 내용 요소에 차이가 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 향후 정보 교과의 독립 및 AI교육의 정규 교육과 정화에 대비하여 국내외 AI교육과정에 대한 문헌 연구를 실시하고 이를 토대로 향후 초등학교 AI교육을 위한 교육과정 구성의 방향을 탐색하였다.
