Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the elementary school students' level of computational thinking ability by analyzing the domestic question and examination results of Beaver Challenge 2017. Based on the results of the 'Challenge' results of Beaver Challenge 2017, the achievement by element, gender, and grade of elementary school students II (elementary school 3.4) and group III (elementary school 5.6) Respectively. As a result of the analysis, the achievement by the evaluation factors showed difference within each group. In addition, there was no significant difference in achievement according to gender except for one area of group II. The achievement level of each grade was statistically significant in the group III. The results of this study are expected to provide implications for the level of students related to what can be evaluated in elementary school information education and contribute to the follow-up research.
