As the contents of information were reinforced the rules of computer science, it was necessary to develop the new teaching and learning plans and various education materials that encourage students and easy to access. So, in this study developed a wide ran of play activities and educational materials without using a computer for the area of information representation and applied to 68 students, second grade of middle school for 4 weeks. After the class, the effect on the learning achievement was verified by the t-test. As a result, it was shown that there was a significant difference between learning with play activities materials and the traditional lecture-type. It means that learning with play activities materials in the information representation influences a positive effect to the learning achievement.

현재 4차 산업혁명이 사회에 던지는 화두는 다양하다. 첫째, 소프트웨어 중심 사회이다. 빅 데이터, 인공지능 기술 등이 다양한 분야와 결합하고 그 중심에는 소프트웨어가 있다. 앞으로 소프트웨어 교육이 필수적이고 강화되어야 할 이유다. 둘째, 생산과 소비가 결합된다는 것이다. 즉, 더 이상 소비자가 수동적인 소비자로만 남지 않으며, 획일화된 제품과 서비스에 흥미를 느끼지 않고, 소비자가 직접 자신이 구매할 제품 생산과 판매에 관여하는 '프로슈머(prosumer)' 필요한 물건을 직접 만드는 D.I.Y.(Do It Yourself), 3D 프린팅 등이 새로운 소비 방식을 대표한다[3]. 이에 메이커 운동이 떠오르고 있고, 메이커에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 우리나라는 2015 개정 교육과정을 통해 소프트웨어 교육을 강화했다. 초등학교에서는 5~6학년 실과 교과의 정보 관련 단원이 ICT활용 중심에서 소프트웨어 기초 소양 내용 중심으로 개편되었다[1]. 아직 교육과정이 시행되기 전이지만 선도학교나 연구학교를 통해 진행된 소프트웨어 교육을 보면 기능을 익히는 프로그래밍 교육이 주류를 이루고 있고, 이래서는 다양하고 창의적인 결과물을 도출할 수 없다. 이를 해결하기 위해서는 디자인 사고를 도입할 수 있다. 디자인 사고는 인간을 관찰하고 공감하여 소비자를 이해한 뒤, 다양한 대안을 찾는 확산적 사고와 주어진 상황에 최선의 방법을 찾는 수렴적 사고의 반복을 통하여 혁신적 결과물을 도출하는 창의적 문제 해결 방법 중 하나이다[5]. 따라서 본 연구에서는 초등학생들의 소프트웨어 교육을 위한 디자인 사고 기반 메이커 교육 프로그램을 개발하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to provide the information of decision making that can be used to improve curriculum of engineering education by surveying and analyzing that educational needs of ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ university' engineering students about program outcomes. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, it was found that engineering students surveyed valued much of the necessity of PO2(analysis experiment), PO3(design capability), PO6(teamwork) among program outcomes. In addition, it was found that engineering students surveyed thought their ability was low in PO3(design capability), PO4(problem solving), PO10 (knowledge of current events). Second, it was found that the order of educational needs about program outcomes was PO3(design capability), PO2(analysis experiment), PO1(knowledge application), PO5(practical ability), PO4(problem solving) which suggested that engineering students surveyed had high educational needs for engineering program outcomes. On the other hand, it was found that engineering students surveyed showed lower awareness of PO7, PO10, PO11 which had characteristics of humanities. It is necessary that systematic establishment of course completion system in basic design, element design and comprehensive design by giving weight to design education that aims to strengthen design capability should be made in curriculum of engineering education. It was found that there was considerable difference in educational needs about program outcomes especially in PO1(analysis experiment), PO4(problem solving), PO5(practical ability), PO6(teamwork) according to grade, gender and specialty and therefore this should be considered in designing curriculum. It is judged that operation of flexible education program should be arranged if learning achievement through regular curriculum Is limited.

지난 97년부터 교사 및 학생들의 정보 활용교육 등이 강화되어 추진되면서, 교사에게는 정보소양 함양과 전문성 신장을 위한 다양한 형태의 연수가 이루어져 왔다. 특히, 기존의 출석수업 증설의 교사 연수는 연수시설의 부족과 시간적 제약 등의 문제로 인해 급변하는 정보화 시대에 대응하기 어려운 점이 있었다. 따라서 기존 연수의 문제점을 해결하고 디지털 정보사회에 적합한 연수체제 구축을 위한 대안으로 교원 원격교육 연수원이 도입 운영되고 있으며 해마다 그 수가 증가추세에 있다. 그러나, 이와 같은 양적 증가에도 불구하고, 정보교육 관련 원격연수에 대한 종합적 안내 체계가 미흡한 결과 현장의 교사들은 연수선택에 대한 정보제공이 적절하게 이루어지지 못했다. 또한, 2004년 4월 현재 53개의 원격교육연수원이 운영되고 있으며, 전체 교육과정 중 50%이상이 정보화 교육과정임에도 불구하고, 실제 다수의 교사들이 정보화 원격연수 기회를 접하지 못하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 현재 운영되고 있는 원격교육연수원의 지정 인가현황과 연수원별 교육과정 운영현황 등을 고찰해 보았으며, 현장의 교사들이 정보교육 관련한 원격교육의 필요성은 매우 높게 느끼지만, 실제의 이수상황은 그렇지 못하고 있다. 다양한 원격연수 기관에 대한 인지도가 매우 낮게 나타났으며, 결과 다수의 교사들이 자신의 관심과 흥미에 맞는 연수의 기회를 받지 못하고 있는 것이다. 문헌 및 설문조사를 통해 이러한 문제들에 대한 분석과 함께 개선방안을 본 연구에서 제안하고자 한다.

The study explored how two elementary school teachers perceived computational thinking, reflected them into curriculum revision, and taught them in the classroom during longitudinal professional developed program (PDP) for nine months. Computational thinking is a new direction in educational policy-making including science education; therefore we planned to investigate participating teachers' perception of computational thinking to provide their fundamental understandings. Nine meetings, lasting about two hours each, were held with the participating teachers and they developed 11 lesson plans for one unit each, as they formed new understandings about computational thinking. Data were collected through PDP program while two teachers started perceiving computational thinking, revising their curriculum, and implementing it into their class for nine months. The results were as follows; first, elementary school teachers' perception of computational thinking was that the definition of scientific literacy as the purpose of science education was extended, i.e., it refers to scientific literacy to prepare students to be creative problem solvers. Second, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) lessons were divided into two stages; concept formation stage where scientific thinking is emphasized, and concept application, where computational thinking is emphasized. Thirdly, computational thinking is a cognitive thinking process, and ICT (informational and communications technology) is a functional tool. Fourth, computational thinking components appear repeatedly and may not be sequential. Finally, STEAM education can be improved by utilizing computational thinking. Based on this study, we imply that STEAM education can be activated by computational thinking when teachers are equipped with competencies of understanding and implementing computational thinking within the systematic PDPs, which is very essential for newly policies.

This study examined student- and school-level background and ICT factors that affected PISA 2015 Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) for Korean students (4863 students from 142 high schools). A two-level hierarchical linear model (HLM) was analyzed from the basic model (model 1) with no predictors to the final model (model 5) with all predictors. Results showed that first, gender, socioeconomic/cultural backgrounds, cooperation level positively predicted CPS scores while perceived unfairness of teacher negatively predicted the outcome. Second, the more frequently ICT was used for out-of-school learning purposes, the less frequently ICT was used for entertainment purposes, and the less frequently ICT was used in schools, the higher CPS scores were. Considering ICT autonomy and social interaction variables measured for the first time in PISA 2015, students who were more interested in ICT and more autonomous in using ICT devices achieved higher CPS scores. On the other hand, the more students considered ICT important as social interaction, the less they gained CPS scores. Third, in terms of school-level characteristics, the smaller the students behavior detrimental to learning, the higher the teachers perceived positive working environment, and the fewer the number of computers available per student, the higher CPS scores were. To facilitate computer-based collaborative problem-solving competence, it is important for students to have interest and autonomy in using ICT. In addition, the guidelines of ICT use and SW curriculum need to be established in order to increase the effectiveness of using ICT device in school.

This study is on improving the general engineering education for enhancing the quality of engineers at a local engineering school in which the students are not highly qualified for engineering education. Based on the analysis on the current engineering education by asking questions to professors, students and alumni of Hongik College of Science and Engineering, we have set the basic educational philosophy as educating practical engineers and have decided the goals of basic engineering education as changing to student oriented education, enhancing the field adaptation capability, improving the problem solving ability and introducing engineering design courses. For achieving the foregoing goals, we have changed several basic engineering courses. Mathematics, science courses, computer related courses, English, communication skill related courses are strengthened, but general college education courses are reduced. We also have encouraged students to participate the classes actively and study efficiently, think logically and creatively. For the operational details, we have tried to impose less courses to freshmen and sophomores, to impose the prerequisite courses, to activate summer and winter schools. Finally, we have tried to find the ways to support continuous improvement on the basic engineering education.

It is very important to ensure the reliability of dam inflow data, which is critical in planning and managing the supply and demand of water resources in a basin. However, the simple water balance model sometimes results in negative inflows and does not consider the actual inflow characteristics. In this study, to address these issues, the existing water balance formula was modified by considering evaporation which is available for calculation among other outflows. The modified water balance formula was applied to the Soyang Dam. The results showed that the rate of negative inflows decreased in the re-evaluated dam inflow data and it was possible to secure consistency for the total inflow volume. In addition, investigating the water availability in the Soyang Dam watershed based on the water balance concept considering evaporation, it was found that direct water use in the human aspect was about 60%, and the indirect water use in the natural aspect was about 40%. In drought years, it was also confirmed that the proportion of indirect use of water resources increased.

The interaction between student and school levels should be considered to understand and examine equity in education. For this reason, we included the socioeconomic composition of schools to scrutinize the equity related to students' socioeconomic status and mathematical literacy in Korea. We applied the hierarchical linear modeling approach to the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2015 data for binational comparison between Korea (5,548 students from 168 schools) and the U.S. (5,217 students from 161 schools). The findings show that school-level achievement and the socioeconomic composition of schools cannot be ignored to understand Korean students' achievement gap between high and low socioeconomic status. In addition, U.S. students from low socioeconomic status were likely to have similar mathematics literacy scores. These findings indicated that inequity in Korean mathematics education could be intertwined with the characteristics of Korean students like high demands for supplementary private education and school characteristics like curriculum selection. This research also reminds mathematics educators that people should not simply mimic other education systems to resolve education issues in their own system.
