코두(Kodu)는마이크로소프트사에서개발한게임제작용3D비주얼프로그래밍언어이다. 코두언어는창의성,문제해결 방법, 스토리텔링을 기반으로 하며, 아동들을 대상으로 게임 프로그래밍 학습을 하는데 매우 적합한 언어이다. 본연구에서는초등학생의창의적사고를바탕으로코두언어를사용하여게임을제작하는학습방법을설계하였고, 초등학생6학년27명을대상으로30차시에걸쳐적용하였다. 학습과정에서나타난학습자들의창의적사고력에 대한 변화와 게임 프로그래밍에 대한 학습효과를 분석하였다.

Kodumade byMS is a new 3D visual programming language made specifically for creating games. This language is based on creativity, problem-solving methods, and storytelling. So, it is very suitable for game programming education for kids. In this paper, we designed learning method to develop games based on elementary school students' creative thinking. The instruction was given to 27 6-grade elementary school students in 30 hours. And we applied the learning method in class. Also, we analyzed the changes in the learners' creative thinking and the learning effects of game programming.
