Abstract
In this study, We made Computing Stories as a part of the new method of SW education. Also, we have developed unplugged activities using coding stories. We analyzed changes in learning motivation and academic achievement in the core concepts of CT by applying classes to elementary school students. For the development of coding stories, we conducted a questionnaire analysis of 11 expert groups to derive the core concepts of computational Thinking. Using the core concept of Computational Thinking, we developed a coding stories and unplugged activities linked with coding stories. It was confirmed that the score of the core concept of CT before and after class increased from 54.44 to 83.10 and the learning motive was also improved from the average score of 103.48 to 110.44. The results showed that the Coding Stories were effective in the students' Computational thinking achievement and SW learning motives.
