Abstract

Recently, various platforms and contents for artificial intelligence education have been developed, but artificial intelligence education programs for the lower grades of elementary school are insufficient. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop an artificial intelligence education program for learners in the lower grades of elementary school. It was designed using the Novel Engineering with various convergence education research cases for software education. After the first program was developed, it was verified by expert validity test, and the program was modified and developed accordingly. It was necessary to construct a program based on spoken language rather than written language in consideration of the level of learners in the lower grades in the process of acquiring Hangeul, and to secure the number of educational hours through integration between subjects. It is expected that this study can suggest a new direction for artificial intelligence education for elementary and lower grade learners.

최근 인공지능 교육을 위한 다양한 플랫폼과 컨텐츠가 개발되고 있지만, 초등 저학년 학습자를 위한 인공지능교육 프로그램 개발은 미비한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구는 초등학교 저학년 학습자를 위한 인공지능 교육 프로그램을 개발하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 소프트웨어 교육을 위한 다양한 융합교육 연구사례가 있는 노벨 엔지니어링 기법을 활용하여 교육 프로그램을 설계하였다. 1차 프로그램 개발 후 전문가 타당도 검사로 검증을 하였고 이에 따라 프로그램을 수정하여 개발하였다. 그 결과 한글 해득 과정 중인 저학년 학습자 수준을 고려하여 문자 언어보다는 음성 언어를 기반으로 한 프로그램을 구성하고, 교과 간 통합으로 교육 시수를 확보할 필요가 있었다. 이에 정보 교과가 별도로 신설되어 있지 않은 초등 저학년의 교육과정을 고려하여 국어, 수학, 통합교과와 융합하여 인공지능 교육프로그램을 설계하였다. 본 연구를 통해 초등 저학년 학습자를 위한 인공지능교육의 새로운 방향성을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
