Abstract
Recent interest in software education has naturally led to interest in computer science. Computer science is the study of theory and principle of computer and computational systems. This knowledge and concept of computer science is fundamental to software education. Recently, "Computer Science (CS) Unplugged", which is an educational method for introducing students to concepts of computer science without using a computer, has been widely used in classes around the world. CS Unplugged is a method for learning the basic principles of computer science through diverse playing activities. The problem, however, is that these CS unplugged activities take place in class without an analysis of how closely they relate to the core subjects learned in real computer science. Therefore, in this study, we will study on the comparison between the core contents of computer science and the core contents of computer science contained in the various activities of CS Unplugged.
