AI 리터러시의 핵심 역량에 관한 탐색적 연구 : 시민교육을 중심으로

초록

This study explored the core competencies and educational contents of AI literacy education for ordinary citizens. To do so, in-depth interviews were conducted with experts and general citizens, and the data were analyzed in terms of core competencies, the necessity of citizen education, and major educational contents. The findings are as follows. First, the core competencies of AI literacy were understanding AI’s technological mechanisms, practical competence for reducing information gaps, understanding socio-economic impacts, ethical use of AI, and awareness of human-AI relations and human subjectivity. Second, the necessity of AI literacy education for citizens was confirmed in terms of adapting to a new media environment, enhancing quality of life through AI use, alleviating socio-economic inequality, and responding to the harmful effects of AI technologies. Third, the major educational contents were understanding how AI works, developing practical competencies for everyday use, strengthening ethical awareness, fostering critical awareness of AI’s social impact, and maintaining human subjectivity. This study is significant in that it extends the instrumental view of AI literacy by incorporating human-AI relations and human subjectivity as core elements. It also reconstructs AI literacy on the continuum of media literacy and digital literacy, thereby providing a foundation for citizen education in a changing media environment.
