Abstract
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many countries around the world shut down schools, and Korea was the first to open online schools and provide remote education. In Internet-based remote education, the learning gap between countries with low income levels and those without income levels has widened. In Korea, the gap between students' learning has widened. This learning gap was caused by a lack of digital competence among students. In order to reduce the learning gap between students in the era of un-tact education like distance education, systematic information education should be promoted from elementary schools. In the 2015 revised curriculum, information education was very weakened due to the lack of class time, such as limited information education to 17 hours. This also reduced the digital literacy of students. Therefore, in order to reduce the gap in students' learning, digital capabilities must be developed, and information courses must be established in elementary schools. To this end, we proposed the amendment to Article 43 of the Enforcement Decree of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and proposed the establishment of the information curriculum in elementary schools in the revised curriculum in 2022.
