A Study on Improvement of SW Structure Understanding through Gyeonggi Dream University

Abstract

Software education is included in the regular curriculum for a certain period and is thoroughly conducted following the software education operation guidelines. Gyeonggi-do Province operates "Gyeonggi Dream University" for high school students belonging to each local office of education. In this study, we compare and analyze the understanding of software between students who have completed software training courses at "Gyeonggi Dream University" and those who have not, and those who have currently majored in software at the university. After comparing the scores obtained from the pre and post test, the analysis was confirmed to be statistically meaningful through the T-test. As a result, the index value of those who took classes through public education among students in the group with an improved understanding of software was 0.9. However, it was confirmed that the improvement level of the Gyeonggi Dream University students was 2.3, and the index value was 4.8. Therefore, it was confirmed that the 'understanding software through coding' course at 'Gyeonggi Dream University' has a positive effect on understanding the basic structure of software.
