Abstract
In this study, we conducted to derive some implications by analyzing the computer education framework proposed by K12CS in the United States in order to organize the software curriculum and conceptualization of computational thinking in Korea. First, we discussed the use of the term Computational Thinking as a Computing Thinking in Korea and compare it with the concept presented in the US curriculum. we derived that Computing Thinking and Computational Thinking are different in the focus and scope of problem solving. Second, considering the fact that Korean software curriculum does not consider the hierarchy according to the school and the grade, we reconstructed the curriculum based on the core practices and concepts which were suggested by the organization of K-12 Computer Science in the United States.
