Abstract
In this study, the content and level of the elements of Computational Thinking in the Software Education area of elementary practical textbooks were analyzed, and also the computing ratio for each textbook learning activity was analyzed. The elements of Computational Thinking were defined based on the components and definitions of Computational Thinking skills suggested by the Ministry of Education. The contents of Software Education area in practical arts textbooks published by six publishers were analyzed. As a result of analyzing the elements of Computational Thinking for each textbook according to the achievement criteria, there was a difference in whether sub-elements of Computational Thinking were included for each textbook. Second, as a result of analyzing the level of Computing of learning content, the proportion of textbooks presenting Abstract activities connected to Computing was relatively low. When the curriculum is reorganized or the textbook is revised in the future, it is necessary to complement the elements of Computational Thinking in a balanced way, and to include general Abstraction activities and Abstraction activities that can lead to Automation.
