본 연구는 북한이탈주민들의 일반적인 현황 및 정보화실태를 분석하고, 정보화교육의 기본방향을 모색하고자 교육 참여자들의 학습 시 나타나는 특성과 요구를 분석하였다. 북한이탈주민들이 학습 시 나타내는 특성은 새로운 기기에 대한 두려움으로 인한 느린 학습, 정보화용어와 외국어의 낯설음으로 인한 학습곤란, 본인이 닥친 상황이 아닌 경우 무관심으로 인한 정보유실 등으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 학습자특성 및 요구를 토대로 본 연구에서는 북한이탈주민 정보화교육 활성화를 위해 단계적 반복에 의한 전략, 남북한 정보화 용어사전을 활용한 전략, 취업중심 및 소통을 위한 전략, 생활밀착형 교육을 위한 전략의 STEP모형을 제안하였다. 북한이탈주민들의 정보화 수준을 높이는 것은 성공적인 남한정착에 도움일 될 것이며, 이는 장차 이루어질 통일한국의 소중한 밑거름이 될 수 있을 것이다.
The main purpose of this study was to analyze the general informatization situation of North Korean defectors and to study the characteristics and needs of the learners in order to provide the directions of information education for them. The results of the study showed the following characteristics of the North Korean defectors: They are slow learners due to the fear of new devices, have difficulty in learning due to the unfamiliar language of information and English, and indifferent when the situation is not related to themselves. Based on these learner characteristics and needs, this study suggests the strategies of step-by-step repetition, use of North and South Korean dictionary of the information terminology, apply job-centered and communication abilities, and suggested a four-element STEP model. Raising the level of informatization of North Korean defectors will help establish a successful settlement to South Korea. This will be a valuable foundation and a stepping stone for the future unification of Korea.
