Modern society needs to think in new directions and solve problems by grafting problems from diverse fields with computers. Abstraction and automation of various problems using computing technology with your own ideas is called computational thinking. In this paper, we analyze how to diagnose and improve knowledge information based on computational thinking through the process of presenting a variety of problems in programming education situations and finding several problem-solving methods to solve them. To pretest the learners, they were diagnosed using a measurement sheet and a LightBot. By determining the correlation between the evaluation results and LightBot results, the learners' current knowledge statuses were checked, and the correlation between the evaluation results and the LightBot results, based on what was taught according to the problem-solving learning technique, was analyzed according to the proposed technique. The analysis of the group average score of the learners showed that the learning effect was significant. If the method of deriving and improving knowledge based on computational thinking ability for solving the problem proposed in this paper is applied to software education, it will induce student interest, thereby increasing the learning effect.

The aim of this study is to identify the learning performance of online classes using problem-based learning(PBL) for clothing and textiles majors in college with the increased use of online learning tools after the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to achieve this goal, the PBL was developed and applied to the 'Fashion Marketing and Merchandising' class conducted in real-time online at University in North Chungcheong Province, Korea for four weeks. After a four-week PBL class, a survey was conducted on 35 students in the 'Fashion Marketing and Merchandising' class and the 35 completed questionnaires were used for analysis. The measurement tools of this study were self-directed learning, cooperative learning ability, problem-solving ability, and learning achievement regarded as an important learning effect in PBL class. In addition, students' self-reflective essays were also analyzed to examine the educational effect of PBL applying online classes. As a result of this study, bivariate correlations among the four variables, students' self-directed learning, cooperative learning ability, problem-solving ability, and learning achievement were significantly positive. Furthermore, the results of multiple regression analysis showed that the three independent variables had significant effects on students' perceived learning achievement, in the order of cooperative learning ability, self-directed learning, and problem-solving ability. The students' self-reflective essays indicated that problem-based learning worksheet was helpful for identifying problems, and clarifying what they already and what they need to study more. Based on this study, it could be recommended that online class applying PBL could contribute to the improvement of student's learning performance.

교사 중심 수업과 획일적인 평균 교육으로 인해, 창의적인 사고와 탐구활동이 학습과정에서 소홀히 취급되면서, 문제를 인식하고 해결할 수 있는 기회를 학생들에게 제공하지 못하였다. 또한 이러한 교수 ${\cdot}$ 학습의 불균형은 학생들에게 진정한 수학의 가치를 경험할 수 없게 만들고 있다. 본고는 이러한 교실수업을 개선하기 위해 (1) 수준별 교수 ${\cdot}$ 학습 자료를 개발하고, (2) 수준별 협동학습에 적용하여 (3) 문제해결 능력에 미치는 영향을 고찰해 보고자 한다. 수준별 협동학습은 학생들의 능력에 따른 맞춤수업과 그들의 자기표현 욕구 및 공동체에 대한 소속감을 증진시킴으로써, 학습 부진의 누적을 예방하고 협동하는 사회 교육실현에 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the difference of problem-solving ability according to student's level of self-efficacy. Participants were 72 junior students who took the course 'Environmental Instrumental Analysis'. Before the PBL activities, students were given the self-efficacy tests to all students. Among them, 44 students(30% of each high and low ranking) were selected and encouraged to complete pre-problem solving tests. The PBL was conducted for 12 weeks using blended learning strategies. After the PBL, 44students completed post-problem solving tests. Results showed that there were differences of problem-solving ability according to student's level of self-efficacy. From the results, instructional strategies for promoting students' self-efficacy should be employed for enhancing problem-solving ability in PBL activities.

Purpose: The aim of this preliminary study was to evaluate the effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) curriculum on development of comprehension of basic medical knowledge and quality of semi-structured problem solving including scientific reasoning skill. This scientific reasoning contained five components including: size of simple, design of research cause-effect, construction of risk factor, analysis statistic of data, interpretation of result. Materials and Methods: Seoul National University Dental students (100) participated in this experience during two weeks, 2004. Forty eight multiple-choice questions (MCQ) concerned "Infection Control and Prevention" were asked before and after two sections of Lecture-Based Learning (LBL) and PBL (pretest-posttest control group design). A semi-structured problem in epidemiological research was asked to these students after two sections (posttest-only control group design). Data (mean and SD) were analysed using the t Test for two independent samples (p<.05), comparing PBL versus LBL. Results: Our analyse of scores show no difference between LBL and PBL in the development of comprehension of "Infection Control and Prevention". The quality problem solving (epidemiological research) was significantly different between the two groups (p=.029); specially, two components' scores of reflection on scientific reasoning cause-effect (p=.000) and interpretation of result (p=.001) were significantly better for PBL than for LBL. Conclusion: Theses results indicate that comparing LBL and PBL, PBL curriculum have not been disadvantaged in comprehension of basic knowledge, and have contributed to develop the scientific reasoning in problem solving.
