Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) based maker education program using physical computing. To this end, through a literature review on AI education and maker education through physical computing, an artificial intelligence-based maker education model was developed using physical computing, and a specific education program was developed by applying the developed model by selecting life-related problems. . The developed educational program was reviewed by experts, and its applicability was explored through education conducted for learners and instructors who are the biggest stakeholders in school education conducted in compliance with the COVID-19 infection prevention rules. The results of this study are as follows. First, in this study, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based maker education program was developed in order to solve the life-related problem of ‘observing the general corona 19 life prevention rules’ by utilizing physical computing. Second, the artificial intelligence (AI)-based maker education program using physical computing was carried out in a total of three stages: pre-tinkering, tinkering, and post-tinkering, and in particular, the tinkering stage applied a technical problem solving process (4 stages). Physical computing tools and programming languages for making activities can be selected differently depending on the level of learners and the type of educational activities. Third, learners made the entire process of making activities in the form of an open portfolio project (OPP), and they practiced the maker culture by sharing them online and performing active online feedback. Fourth, as a result of applying the developed educational program, both learners and instructors showed positive responses and above average satisfaction, and high immersion and sense of achievement. Introductory instructors tended to prefer block-based programming language, whereas students with high academic achievement among beginner learners tended to prefer text-based language.
