초등학교 블록체인 학습을 위한 언플러그드 프로그램 개발

Abstract

In order to train talented people who adapt to the fourth industrial society and prepare for thefuture, the 2015 curriculum provides software education aimed at enhancing computational thinkingskills. However, software education is focused on algorithm and programming education and does notcontain learning elements for the fourth industrial society, so it could not provide students withdiverse learning content. Reflecting these problems, this study seeks to develop a Blockchain Unplugged Program andprovide it to elementary school software education. This study's learning program consists of a totalof 6 lessons. Each lesson is designed to understand the learning contents while playing game-typeunplugged activities and solving problems in the learning paper. To verify the effectiveness of the developed Blockchain Unplugged Program, it was applied to asingle group of 23 fifth-grade students in elementary school, and analyzed student assessments ofprogram and changes in learning motivation for software education. The program was evaluated byanalyzing students' self-assessment sheets, observations, and Q&A. The change in the learningmotivation for software education was analyzed by Paired Samples T-Test and confirmed whetherthere were any significant differences. As a result, the Blockchain Unplugged program was positively evaluated by students in terms oflearning interest, difficulty, and understanding, and was shown to improve learning motivation forsoftware education. Therefore, it is expected that this study's learning program will help diversify thelearning content and methods of software education and improve students' understanding andmotivation for learning.
