This study analyzed the effect of AI maker coding education on improving students' computational thinking. The subjects of the study were 10 students at H Elementary School in Ansan, and a total of 8 AI maker coding education using the Instructional Model for Maker Education based on SW Coding was applied to students to find out the degree of improvement of computational thinking. Students who participated in the class performed a process of solving real-life problems through coding and making activities, measured the degree of improvement in computing thinking before and after education through a computing thinking test paper, and observed students' thinking processes related to computing thinking components through interviews. As a result, it was confirmed that the average score of all students' computational thinking skills was improved, and the deviation of scores between students decreased. Through the interview, it was found that students actively utilize their thinking skills related to computational thinking skills in the problem-solving process. Through this, it was confirmed that AI maker coding education can have a positive effect on improving students' computing thinking skills.

This study is to analyze students' perception about junior SW education by giving the questionnaire to the participants in Scratch-day. We taught the creative computing to 558 juniors on Scratch-day in 2013, 2014 and researched the questionnaire about their perceptions of creative computing education. We analyzed the current status of SW education from this process and extracted considerations about elementary SW education. We also proposed the possibility of its application to the elementary and middle school education. As a result of this study, it is observed that students think that creative computing education is fun and useful, and want to apply it to the public school education. Also, male students think more positive than female students about an intention to use, and students who have experienced with Scratch education consider it more useful and positive intention to use than those who have not. According to the structural model, it is found that the pleasure, easy of use, and usefulness of creative computing education have a positive influence on students' perception that it should be applied to public school education.

In order to cultivate talented people who have problem solving ability due to computational thinking according to the trend of the fourth industrial revolution, each university is actively promoting software education. This study suggests that understanding-oriented SW curriculum is needed for non-majors students to improve computational thinking. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, this study designed the basic education program based on the understanding of the SW with the backward design model. The SW Basic Education Program was applied to 15 weeks of instruction and conducted three surveys. The positive effects of the understanding-oriented SW basic education on the computational thinking efficacy and the computer perception were verified. In addition, it was found that the understanding-oriented computational thinking and programming education are effective when they are linked to one process. It is expected that understanding-based SW based education, which uses the backward design model, can be applied as one of the efficient ways to improve computational thinking in the education field.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of computational thinking course on learning flow and collaborative self-efficacy of university students and to explore the effectiveness of computational thinking course as liberal arts education. For this study, 177 freshmen at a university in Chungnam Province were surveyed learning flow and collaborative self-efficiency. The collected data were analyzed with Stata IC 14 for ��2 test and t-test. The results of this study are as follows. First, the learning flow of students who took computational thinking course were significantly higher(t=3.837 p<.001) compared to those who did not. Second, the collective self-efficiency of students who took computational thinking course were significantly higher(t=2.277 p<.01) compared to those who did not. Therefore the results show that computational course has positive effects on learning flow and collaborative self-efficiency of university students. Based on these findings, discussions and implications were presented on the importance and effectiveness of computational thinking course.

In the era of the information revolution, the need for artificial intelligence convergence education is emerging in the trend of global change. Therefore, in this paper, a physical computing programming education method that combines artificial intelligence was developed and applied. The control group was provided with physical computing programming education that did not converge with artificial intelligence, and the experimental group developed and applied a physical computing programming education method that fused artificial intelligence to analyze the impact on elementary school students' computing thinking ability. As a result, it was confirmed that physical computing programming education fused with artificial intelligence had a more positive effect on enhancing elementary school students' computational thinking skills compared to physical computing programming education without artificial intelligence.

In the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a super-intelligent and super-connected society has arrived. Software is an important part of the core technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The ability to solve problems through software requires software education in that it is a core competency that everyone should have. Software education aims to improve Computational Thinking, which is the ability to solve problems through programming. Until now, most problem-solving programming learning models follow the traditional method of development: Waterfall model (Analysis-Design-Development-Test). In this model, if there is a problem in the preceding step, That could be found in the test phase. This takes a considerable amount of time and effort to find a solution to the problem and can be a burden on the programming learning. In this study, we proposed a Test-Driven Problem-Solving learning model using TDD (Test Driven Development) as Agile development method, and reviewed the appropriateness of the model through experts review. The verification results of the model showed positive evaluation results. In particular, the learning phase configuration of the model, helping in programming learning, helping of Computational Thinking improvement showed high rating, it is determined that there will be positive effects on Computational Thinking improvement through problem-solving programming learning when applying future learning.

Computational thinking is an ability to resolve problems that may be applied to the various real world problems and is regarded as the core of computer science. Computational thinking may be improved through experiences of analyzing problems and of selecting, applying, and modeling strategies appropriate for problem-solving. In order to enhance computational thinking of learners, it is important to provide experiences of solving various problems. This study designed puzzle based learning in order to educate learners principles of problem solving, let them have experiences of interest and insight, and provide them with problem solving experiences. The puzzle questions used for learning were classified into six types - constraints, optimization, probability, statistics, pattern recognition, and strategies. These questions were applied to Informatics gifted elementary students and, after their education, their computational thinking and problem solving inventory significantly improved.

본 연구는 과학 커뮤니케이션 분야에서 널리 쓰이고 있는 뉴스 내용분석 방법론이 하이프 사이클 모델에 부합하는 지를 탐색적으로 살펴보고자 한다. 즉 과학기술 뉴스 내용분석이 하이프 사이클 모델에서 설명하는 사회적 가시성의 실체적 파악을 위한 기술기획의 유용한 보완적 방법론으로 쓰일 수 있음을 밝히는데 본 연구의 의의가 있다. 이를 위해 대표적인 유망기술로 클라우드 컴퓨팅을 대상으로 뉴스 내용분석을 수행하였다. 분석의 초점은 클라우드 컴퓨팅 기술 관련 뉴스의 빈도, 보도태도(긍정, 중립, 부정), 5가지 뉴스 프레임 관점에서 분석이 이루어졌고, 뉴스 보도경향이 하이프 사이클 흐름을 따라가는 지를 살펴보았다. 종합지 경제지와 IT전문지를 대상으로 한 뉴스 내용분석 결과는 뉴스 빈도, 보도 태도, 뉴스 프레임 모두 하이프 사이클의 흐름을 따르고 있었으며, 특히 2014년 이후의 흐름은 하이프 사이클 상에서 기대붕괴 지점을 지나 현실인식의 지점으로 진화되는 시점임을 추론할 수 있었다. 본 연구결과는 최근 확산되고 있는 텍스트 마이닝, 감성어 자동식별 분석 기술 등과 접목하여 사회적 맥락 파악을 위한 기술기획 분석의 보완적 방법론으로 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
