2015 개정 교육과정에 따라 2019년 3월부터 초등학교 5~6학년 학생을 대상으로 소프트웨어 교육이 실시된다. 궁극적인 소프트웨어 교육의 목표는 컴퓨팅 사고력을 갖춘 창의 융합형 인재를 양성하는 것이다. 이를 위해 초등학교에서는 알고리즘과 프로그래밍의 체험을 통해 소프트웨어 기초 소양을 함양하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이러한 컴퓨팅 사고력을 수업에 효과적으로 적용하기 위해 전용주(2017)는 소프트웨어 및 컴퓨팅에 관련된 사고과정과 원리를 실생활의 소재와 관련지어 창의적이고 능동적으로 그 해결방안을 구현해가는 과정으로 제시할 수 있는 수업 구성 원리인 CT-CPS 수업 모형을 개발하였다. 또한 교육부는 2015 개정 교육과정 실시 전, 소프트웨어 교육을 위한 선도학교를 전국에 지정하여 운영하였다. 선도학교에서의 소프트웨어 교육과정을 분석한 결과 주로 컴퓨팅 사고력의 구성요소 중 알고리즘과 자동화에 초점이 맞춰져 있었다. 엔트리와 스크래치와 같은 블록 프로그래밍 도구를 사용한 코딩교육과 로봇교육을 주로 실시했고, 실제 문제에 대한 학생들이 자료를 직접 다루는 시간은 찾아보기 힘들었다. 컴퓨팅사고력 향상을 위해서는 학생들이 실제 자료를 수집, 분석, 표현해보는 활동이 반드시 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서 NetsBlox을 활용하고자 한다. NetsBlox는 학생들에게 익숙한 블록형 프로그래밍 도구로 실제 데이터를 온라인상에서 쉽게 받아와서 수집, 분석, 표현을 하게 도와주는 역할을 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 초등학생을 위한 NetsBlox를 활용한 CT-CPS기반 프로그래밍 수업을 설계하고자 한다.

Because the concepts and components of computational thinking included in the Information Education Curriculum and the Software Education Guidelines are different, it has been difficult to establish computational thinking-based software education in schools. Therefore, this study, which is based on the Delphi survey results from 39 experts, we defined computational thinking as 'computing thinking' and separated the components of computational thinking into five main categories: (1) problem definition, (2) data analysis, (3) abstraction, (4) automation, and (5) generalization. In addition, we selected software areas that are strongly related to computational thinking in the KAIE's information Curriculum Standard Model and surveyed experts to decide which computing thinking components are related to the achievement criteria of the software areas.

The goal of this study is to suggest evaluation tools to assess computational thinking(CT) skills in primary robot-based programs. In addition, the researcher has expanded its evaluation approaches to include interpersonal competencies from the socio-cultural perspectives, not just focusing on intrapersonal competencies. In order to pursue the research goal, one-semester robots programs for the fifth graders were designed, and evaluation tools including a learners' CT competencies survey and a learning process monitoring rubric were developed. The results of this study are meaningful because it has expanded the evaluation approaches to connect to the concepts of CT and to include interpersonal aspects from the socio-cultural perspectives.

Through the fourth industrial revolution and coronavirus pandemic situation, the necessity and importance of SW education are being emphasized more. However, it is difficult to achieve the effect of improving students' computational thinking skills by just 17th hour, which is organized in the 2015 revised curriculum. Moreover, due to the coronavirus pandemic situation that has continued since last year, there are environmental restrictions on the equal SW education for students at the educational site. In this study, the unplugged class using a completion robot was designed to reflect the current situation at the educational site and experience of SW education was provided to the 6th graders of J elementary school. Through the application of a class, we checked whether the unplugged class using robots affect students' perception of SW education and the use of computational thinking skills. As a result, the unplugged class using a completion robot showed that students used computational thinking to solve given problems and had a positive impact on changes in perception of SW education.

This study investigated the effects of SW-efficacy on computational thinking STEAM literacy and the dual mediation effects of interest and student engagement in the relationship between SW-efficacy, computational thinking and STEAM literacy in robot-utilized SW convergence education. For achieving this purpose, robot-utilized SW convergence education targeting 146 middle schools students were carried out, post-survey regarding SW-efficacy, computational thinking, STEAM literacy, interest, and learning engagement were conducted. Collected data were analyzed by SPSS macro process for analysis of the dual mediation effect. Results were as follows: first, SW-efficacy had a significant effect on computational thinking and STEAM literacy. Second, interest did not mediate the relationship between SW efficacy, computational thinking and STEAM literacy, while student engagement mediated it. Third, SW efficacy had a significant effect on computational thinking and STEAM literacy dual-mediating effect of interest and student engagement. These results imply the roles of SW efficacy, interest and student engagement to improve computational thinking and STEAM literacy in robot-utilized SW education and provide implications with regard to robot-utilized SW education and instructional directions.
