Abstract
This study is analyzed survey based on classes of computational thinking to identify problem solving ability, to reflect them in curriculum plan for software education. Through analyzing difficulties on computational thinking learners by pre/post test on problem solving ability, the education method of software curriculum was proposed. For this study, the subject, scope of content, and activity plan were organized into 15 weeks of software curriculum for 2 hours per week, and questionnaire was conducted for 63 students. As a result, the 'Humanities Departments' have shown higher problem solving ability improvement than 'Science and Engineering Departments'. Based on the results, in order to cultivate creative fusion-type talent, the theoretical systems that fundamentally define thinking and perception must be fused with each other. In addition, software education should be improved to be extended to non-majors in various fields.
