In this paper, we investigated the learners' interest of activity and learning contents in elementary school SW education using robot. In order to achieve the purpose of this paper, SW education using Entry and Hamster robot was conducted to 15 students who was participated in educational program in Youth training center. In addition, we examined mean difference using descriptive statistics. Our results show that students were generally interested in activities related to hamster robots. Further, interest was associated with gender. Specifically, boys were more interested in activities related to axis acceleration sensor and light sensor and girls were more interested in activities related to sound and movement. This paper was investigated students' interest and identify differences depending on gender, and supposed the concrete data that can be used in the school field.

In universities, programming language-based thinking and software education for non-majors are being implemented to cultivate creative and convergent talent capable of leading the digital convergence era in line with the Fourth Industrial Revolution. However, learners face difficulties in acquiring the unfamiliar syntax and programming languages. The purpose of this study is to propose a software education model to alleviate the challenges faced by non-major students during the learning process. By introducing algorithm techniques and diagram techniques based on programming language thinking and using the EZMKER kit as an instructional model, this study aims to overcome the lack of learning about programming languages and syntax. Consequently, a structured software education model has been designed and implemented as a top-down system learning model.

Recently, software education has been emphasized as a key element of the fourth industrial revolution. Many universities are strengthening the software education for all students according to the needs of the times. The use of online content is an effective way to introduce SW education for all students. However, the provision of uniform online contents has limitations in that it does not consider individual characteristics(major, sw interest, comprehension, interests, etc.) of students. In this study, we propose a recommendation method that utilizes the directional similarity between contents in the boolean view history data environment. We propose a new item-based recommendation formula that uses the confidence value of association rule analysis as the similarity level and apply it to the data of domestic paid contents site. Experimental results show that the recommendation accuracy is improved than when using the traditional collaborative recommendation using cosine or jaccard for similarity measurements.

현재 우리나라는 소프트웨어(SW)에 대한 관심 증가에도 불구하고 초등 소프트웨어 교육을 위한 표준 교육 계획이 마련되지 않아 체계적인 교육을 통한 컴퓨팅 사고력 배양이 어려운 상황이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 언플러그드 활동을 통해 컴퓨팅 사고력을 증진시킨 후 이를 바탕으로 코딩 문제해결능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 교육 콘텐츠의 필요성에 대해 인식하였고, 언플러그드와 블록 코딩을 연계한 초등 소프트웨어 교육 계획을 제안한다. 교육 계획은 소프트웨어에 대한 접근, 언플러그드 교육을 통한 컴퓨팅 사고력 향상, 코딩 교육을 통한 문제 해결 능력 향상 과정 등 총 3단계로 구성되었다. 개발된 콘텐츠의 매 주제는 언플러그드 교육과 코딩 교육이 서로 연계되도록 구성하여, 코딩 개념 학습 및 이와 연관된 컴퓨팅 사고력 향상 후, 학습된 내용을 코딩 과정에서 실체화 하도록 하여 응용력이 배양될 수 있도록 하였다.

The purpose of this paper is to prove the effect of flipped learning on learning motivation in software education. For this study, the experiment was consisted of experimental group and control group for university of education. They learned software education using Scratch programming for 10 weeks. The experimental group was applied to the flipped learning with online software courses. As a result, post motivation in the experimental group was significantly increased compared to the pre learning motivation. Post- learning motivation is also the experimental group were higher learning motivation significantly compared to the control group. It is hoped this flipped learning as an effective learning strategies base expansion in primary and secondary education as well as high education teaching software in the future.

More and more universities are enforcing SW education for non-major undergraduates. However, they are experiencing difficulties in educating non-major students to understand computational thinking processes. In this paper, we did not use the mathematical operation problem to solve this problem. And we proposed a basic problem-solving process teaching method based on computational thinking using simple physical devices. In the proposed educational method, we teach a LED circuit using an Arduino board as an example. And it explains the problem-solving process with computational thinking. Through this, students learn core computational thinking processes such as abstraction, problem decomposition, pattern recognition and algorithms. By applying the proposed methodology, students can gain the concept and necessity of computational thinking processes without difficulty in understanding and analyzing the given problem.

This study applied effective playful learning to increase the learning motivation of non-CS major students to help them achieve learning and to successfully operate online SW liberal arts classes for 560 students. As a result of analyzing the students' reflection journals, most of the students accepted the 'white radish' of dialect names as fun playful learning in the process of learning local variables and global variables. And they were surprised and amazed at discovering unexpected contents in our SW class. It was found that they experienced delight in learning, learning-flow, confidence, and intrinsic motivation. In the final term exam at the end of the semester, it was confirmed that the correct rate of 92% for questions related to local and global variables was higher than the average rate of other questions' correctness of 67.1%.

Today, living in a software-centered global community. lots of countries are putting most efforts on breeding a creative manpower well equipped with problem-solving abilities based on computational thinking. Upon this colleges and universities where most strongly related to job activities are proceeding instruction related to programming for the IT majors realizing the importance of the software education. Hereby we intend to be of a proper help for every colleges and universities students who are working on educational programming design for the first time performing a research probing the relationship with the full gamut of computational thinking based on the result acquired through a phased survey showing the amount of difficulties at their beginning stages.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Nursing ethics education(NE) on Spiritual well-being(SW), Attitude toward death(AD) and Perception of hospice palliative care(PH) in nursing students. This research used a one group pretest-posttest experimental design. Thirty hours NE program was given to 42 nursing students for six weeks. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-test with SPSS 18.0. program. As a result, there are no significant effects of NE on SW, AD and PH. However, it was found one thing interest that neither our nursing ethics education program nor others' had significant effects on attitude toward death. Nurses provide care to people at the end of their lives more often than any other healthcare provider. Therefore it is necessary to study the development of educational programs improving positive attitude toward death.

With the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution, AI utilization capabilities are being emphasized in various industries, but AI education design and curriculum research as universal education is currently lacking. This study offers a design for universal AI education to further cultivate its use in universities. For the AI basic education design, a questionnaire was conducted for experts three times, and the reliability of the derived design contents was verified by reflecting the results. As a result, the main competencies for cultivating AI literacy were data literacy, AI understanding and utilization, and the main detailed areas derived were data structure understanding and processing, visualization, word cloud, public data utilization, and machine learning concept understanding and utilization. The educational design content derived through this study is expected to increase the value of competency-centered AI universal education in the future.
