최근 SW교육 방법의 일환으로 초등학교 모든 실과교과서에서 엔트리 사이트를 활용하고 있다. 하지만 모두 블록형 프로그래밍 언어를 학습하고 있어 일상생활에서 활용할 수 있는 프로그램을 제작하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 연구는 엔트리 파이썬으로 프로그래밍을 학습하는 것이 초등학생의 논리적 사고력과 프로그래밍 흥미도에 미 치는 영향에 관한 연구이다. 총 8차시의 수업 전과 후 논리적 사고력 검사와 프로그래밍 흥미도 검사를 진행하 였다. 수업 전, 후 논리적 사고력 점수가 평균 6.6점에서 9.4점으로 상승하였으며 프로그래밍 흥미도 또한 평균 46.7점에서 59.1점으로 상승하였다. 이를 통해 엔트리 파이썬을 활용한 프로그래밍 학습이 초등학생의 논리적 사 고력 및 프로그래밍 흥미도 증진에 유의미하다는 결과를 얻었다.

As part of recent SW education methods, entry sites have been used in all practical textbooks in elementary schools. However, they are all learning block-type programming languages, making it difficult to produce programs that can be used in everyday life. This study is a study on the effects of learning programming using entry python on logical thinking ability and programming interest in elementary school students. Logical thinking ability and programming interest tests were conducted before and after the 8th class. Before and after classes, logical thinking ability score rose from an average of 6.6 to 9.4 and programming interests score also rose from an average of 46.7 to 59.1. This results in programming learning using Entry Python is significant for enhancing the logical thinking ability and programming interest of elementary school students.

This study aims to demonstrate that Entry Python code possesses textuality that extend beyond simple machine language, making it a valuable tool for learning. Entry Python commands serve as a symbolic system for communication during the transition from block coding to text coding. This process enables the coder's intent to be conveyed to learners and encourages their engagement, facilitating interactions that resemble those with authentic language texts. This creates interactions similar to those in natural language texts. Specifically, it aids learners in acquiring Korean expressions through scenario- based activities, such as ordering food, using a game- based storytelling approach. Entry objects enhance engagement and learning effectiveness through the cohesion and coherence of the code. This illustrates that code instructions are meaningful educational tools that promote learner participation and immersion.
