In line with the modern society where artificial intelligence has spread throughout society, the Ministry of Education decided to provide AI education in kindergartens, elementary, middle and high school classes in 2025, and develop related learning materials and textbooks from 2021. Korea currently does not have state-led AI education for kindergarten and elementary school, so there is no systematic teaching material. Therefore, this study designed and presented textbooks for pattern analysis-based computational thinking development based on the GPS curriculum, a kindergarten SW curriculum studied by Y. S. Jeong and S. E. Lim (2020). Class procedures for using the textbooks were classified as introduction activities, development activities, and organization activities. Supplementary explanations were presented by presenting textbooks and teaching aids along with explanations of each activity. In order for this study to help AI education conducted in 2025, research must be conducted to demonstrate its effectiveness through actual application in the future.

The purpose of this study is to examine the perception of early childhood teachers on ecological art activities oriented to education for sustainable development. The research results are as follows. First, Early childhood teachers recognized the visual art of natural media, the pursuit of community values, and the participation and communication of social members as educational significance of ecological art activities. And difficulties in practicing ecological art were recognized as lack of educational environment, lack of ecological art teaching materials and specific examples, and teachers' lack of understanding of ecological art. Also, they recognized that ecological art activities foster core competencies in art experience area, such as nature-friendly communication skills, eco-friendly sensibility, and creative convergence skills. Second, regarding ecological art activities and sustainable development education, early childhood teachers considered the difficulties in practice as lack of awareness about sustainable development, lack of play meia and materials, lack of educational policies and support, and insufficient teacher training programs. Also, regarding the SDGs that can be practiced in ecological art activities, teachers were found to be highly aware of 'grow affordable and clean energy', 'improve clean water and sanitation', 'provide quality education' in the order. In the contents of education for sustainable development that can be practiced in ecological art activities, teachers are given the order of 'climate change response', 'clean energy', 'water and sanitation', 'quality education', 'health and well-being' and 'marine ecosystem'. was highly recognized. If an ecological art activity program is developed, the rate of responding that it will be used is high, so it is considered that the development of an ESD-oriented ecological art activity program is urgent.

The use of grid paper in elementary mathematics textbooks is used in numbers and calculations, figures and measurement areas. Among them, it is used most in the figure area. In spite of this utilization, it is necessary to supplement it because it is difficult to revise or supplement the trial and error that often occurs in the course of the course, as the process of using the textbook paper in the actual class. The use of grid paper in elementary mathematics textbooks is used in numbers and calculations, figures and measurement areas. Among them, it is used most in the figure area. In spite of this utilization, it is necessary to supplement it because it is difficult to revise or supplement the trial and error that often occurs in the course of the course, as the process of using the textbook paper in the actual class. In this study, we tried to find out the usability of grid paper boards which can be used more effectively than the grid paper among the teaching aids presented in the 'Development of teaching aids standards for math class' of Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science & Creativity(2017). A questionnaire survey was conducted on the use of grid paper and grid paper board for teachers who actually use grid paper in elementary mathematics. As a result, we found out the achievement criteria of grid paper board utilization and investigated the study subject which is effective to use grid paper board. In particular, we have identified specific learning topics that are effective in each area and presented specific activities.

Pre-service teachers have established and developed their own teaching strategies and professional language teaching skills based on their pedagogical and learning experiences. In this regard, it is conceivable that pre-service teachers' feedback may have distinct viewpoints and focuses. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze pre-service teachers' feedback to microteaching demonstrations. Participants in the study were 40 prospective elementary school teachers. They were invited to offer feedback on microteachings video-recorded by their peers. According to the findings, we identified a total of 708 comments. The majority of feedback was categorized as teacher talk(40.1%) , followed by teaching and learning activity (20.9%), interaction (12.6%), teaching materials (11.4%), classroom atmosphere and learning environment (8.9%), lesson flow (3.7%), review and evaluation (1.3%), and introduction and objectives (1.1%). The most frequent types of feedback were the teacher's use of appropriate speaking rate, tone, and intonation. This finding reflects the fact that English teachers realize the importance of the teacher's English proficiency, therefore we suggest that teacher education institutions need raise awareness not just of teachers' English skills but also of their diverse perspectives.

Though the education of culture and art for disabled children is very important, it has not been brisk yet until recently due to 'absence of the teaching methods suitable for disability types, levels and programs.'. In this situation, cartoon contents can be used as the most appropriate tools for culture and art education for mentally retarded children. Entertainment functions and genre features of cartoon contents can motivate the applicable children to participate more voluntarily and positively and function as teaching tools for interesting activities. Of course, since it is not proper to apply the cartoon contents for normal children to Special Education Field as they are, cartoon works should be made by understanding closely the characteristics and degrees of retardation of the applicable children and applying them to the composition of cartoons. However, for the contribution of this attempt to education field, it is thought that concrete guidelines for producing cartoon contents considering the concept of various types of disability, emotion, social behavioral traits, ability of cognition, school achievements, and the characteristics of language and physical health should be necessary, and to improve the application of the developed cartoon contents so that they will not remain as superficial results, sufficient communication with the applicable children such as application to classes in the process of development is necessary.

Generally, learning tools like robots are being mainly used as teaching aids to enhance creativity of a group of students who are superior in their studies and have an excellent potential in private education. This study uses a relatively cheap line tracer as a teaching aid and connects it with regular subjects so that elementary school higher graders showing academic achievement lower than average can get robot learning. This research developed a line tracer learning curriculum and teaching materials for total 12 sessions and taught students showing academic achievement below average and evaluated them after. According to the result of evaluating their achievement levels based on their results of learning in each session, most of the students with low academic achievement was evaluated to understand most of the contents in the curriculum fully. Through its empirical implementation, this paper has found the possibilities of robot education connected with the regular curriculum for elementary students exhibiting relatively lower academic achievement.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the differences between Korean mathematics textbooks and CPMP textbooks in the view of conceptual network, structure of mathematical contents, instructional design, and teaching and learning environment to explore the implications for mathematics education in Korea. According to the results, Korean textbooks emphasized the mathematical structures and conceptual network, on the other hand, CPMP textbooks focused on making connections between mathematical concepts and corresponding real life situations as well as mathematical structures. And generalizing mathematical concepts at the symbolic level was very important objective in Korean textbooks, but in the CPMP textbooks, investigating mathematical ideas and solving problems in diverse contexts including real- life situations were considered very important. Teachers using Korean textbooks preferred an explanatory teaching method with the use of concrete manipulatives and student worksheet, however, teachers using CPMP textbooks emphasized collaborative group activities to communicate mathematical ideas and encouraged students to use graphing calculators when they explore mathematical concepts and solve problems.
