Online judge provides compilation, execution, and immediate feedback on the source submitted by the learner, and ensures the accuracy and reliability of the evaluation, but it's difficult to select the language according to the level of the learner because most of them provide only textual language. In this study, a block language for online judge was developed and applied to high school classes, and the difference in self-efficacy between the block language and the textual language group was confirmed. It was found that Block language group have more ability expectation to overcome disgust experience than textual language group and Textual language group have significant decrease in ability expectation to start activity and to continue activity. It implies that Block language has an effect on self-efficacy for afterward programming activities, and methods of teaching, learning and evaluation should be devised in the case of textual language so that student's self-efficacy does not deteriorate at the initial and ongoing stage of activity. The results of this study are meaningful in that it provide various implications of methods for enhancing self-efficacy in high school class of programming.

본 논문에서는 초동학생의 기초 알고리즘 개념 습득 및 프로그래밍 능력 함양을 위한 순서도 적용 방안을 제안한다. 컴퓨팅 사고력 함양을 위해서는 프로그래밍 전에 알고리즘을 설계하는 단계가 포함되어야 하며, 초등학생의 프로그래밍 교육은 블록형 프로그래밍 언어를 사용할 것을 권장한다. 알고리즘 설계에 순서도를 활용하는 것이 효과적이나, 블록형 프로그래밍 언어의 특성상 순서도의 기본 기호로만 블록을 표현하기에는 어려운 부분이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서 반복구조와 선택구조를 중심으로 블록을 순서도로 표현하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다.

Computational Thinking is an analytical thinking ability that is necessary for everyone and everywhere. The existing Computational Thinking development education provided in Practical textbooks leads to block-based programming languages from unplugged activities. Many unplugged activities focus on practicing sequential order, which may lack the learning of abstractions or automation concepts. In block-based programming languages, concepts such as coordinate planes, which are not introduced in elementary school curriculum, appear, making students feel burdened by the block-based programming language itself. In this study, a curriculum was designed for elementary student's computational thinking through game-based programming language education. The results and their effectiveness were analyzed through the beaver challenge. As a result of analyzing the pre-test and post-test scores, it was confirmed that students' computational thinking skills improved.

2015 개정 교육과정에 따라 2019년부터 초등학교 5~6학년은 SW교육을 의무적으로 실시하게 되었다. 특히 SW교육을 위한 프로그래밍 언어의 경우 초등학교와 중학교에서는 블록형과 텍스트형 구분 없이 활용할 수 있으나, 고등학교의 경우에는 텍스트 기반 프로그래밍 언어를 활용하도록 제시하고 있다. 하지만 많은 학습자들이 처음 텍스트형 프로그래밍 언어를 접하게 되면 문법의 어려움과 외국어의 벽에 부딪쳐 어려워한다. 본 연구에서는 학습자들이 처음 텍스트형 프로그래밍을 학습할 때 효율적인 프로그래밍 학습을 위하여 한글 프로그래밍 언어를 사용할 것을 제안한다. 한글 프로그래밍 언어를 교육적으로 활용하였을 때의 장점과 교육적 활용에 있어 고려해야 할 문제점, 한계점 및 보완해야 할 점을 분석해보고자 한다.

이 연구에서 엔트리 명령 블록을 이용하여 보편적 프로그래밍 언어를 개발하고 검증하였다. 그래서 이 연구를 통해 블록형 프로그래밍 언어의 접근 수월성을 이용하여 절차적 사고력 향상을 위한 아이디어를 제공하고자 하였다. 새로운 프로그래밍 언어를 만들어 알고리즘을 적용하여 함수화된 사칙연산 프로그램을 만들면서, 다양한 알고리즘을 적용하면 엔트리에서 제시하는 모든 명령 블록을 만들 수 있음을 증명하였다. 이 연구를 통해 1)프로그래밍 언어에 포함된 다양한 기능의 명령어들도 함수화되어 있음을 증명하고 재생산 가능함을 경험할 수 있는 아이디어를 제공하고, 2)초보 프로그래머들이 프로그래밍 언어 개발에 대한 흥미와 관심을 갖게 되는 방안을 제시하며, 3)알고리즘을 경험하면서 절차적 사고력을 향상시킬 수 있는 다른 방향의 SW 교수 학습 방법과, 4)프로그래밍 언어를 미시적으로 탐구하면서 SW 교육 관점을 다양화하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이 연구에서 제시한 방안으로 학생들이 절차적 사고력 향상과 프로그래밍 언어의 다양성 인식, 프로그램을 심층적으로 분석하는 태도 등의 SW 교육에 대한 긍정적 변화를 기대한다.

Informatics curriculum revised 2015 proposed the use of block type and text type of programming language by organizing problem solving and the programming unit in a spiral. The purpose of this study is to find out whether the algorithms helps programming learning and whether there is a positive transition effect in block type programming learning to text type programming trailing learning. For 15 elementary school students was conducted block type and text type programming learning. As a result of the research, it is confirmed that writing the algorithm in a limited way can interfere with the learner's expression of thinking, but the block type programming learning has a positive transition to the text type programming learning. This study is meaningful that it suggested a plan for the programming education which is sequential from elementary school.

The Code Block Based Educational Programming Language(EPL) is the mainstream tool for software education for elementary students. However, Code Block Based EPL has limitations in scalability, even though there are many advantages as an introductory tool for software education. In this study, we searched the approach of SW education using Python, which is a text-based programming language actively used in real industrial field. We developed a learning program and model using Python and applied it to the sixth grade elementary school students for 10 hours. As a result, we found that the robot-based Python learning model had a significant effect on improving students' thinking skills and confirmed the applicability of text-based programming language to elementary school students.

The mainstream tool for software education for elementary students is Educational Programming Language. It is essential for upper graders to advance from EPL to text based programming language. However, many students experience difficulty in adopting to this change since Python is run in English. Python is an actively used TPL. This study focuses on developing an education program to facilitate learning Python for Korean speaking students. We have extracted the necessary reserved words needed for data analysis in Python. Then we replaced the extracted words into Korean terms that could be understood in elementary level. The replaced terms were matched on one-to-one correspondence with reserved words used in Python. This devised program would assist students in experiencing data analysis with Python. We expect that this education program will be applied effectively as a basic resource to learn TPL.

Artificial intelligence has begun to be used in various parts of our lives, and recently its sphere has been expanding. However, students tend to find it difficult to recognize artificial intelligence technology because education on artificial intelligence is not being conducted on elementary school students. This paper examined the teaching programming language and artificial intelligence teaching methods, and looked at the changes in students' attitudes toward artificial intelligence technology by conducting education on artificial intelligence. To this end, education on block-type programming language-based artificial intelligence technology was provided to students' level. And we looked at students' attitudes toward artificial intelligence technology through a single group pre-postmortem. As a result, it brought about significant improvements in interest in artificial intelligence, possible access to artificial intelligence technology and the need for education on artificial intelligence technology in schools.

코딩교육과 게임을 활용한 교육에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 그러나, 코딩 교육 도구는 블록형 코딩 도구에 치우쳐져 있어, 교육과 실제 프로그래밍 언어 사이에는 큰 차이가 발생하게 된다. 이 차이를 좁히기 위해 이 논문에서는 한국어 인터프리터 언어를 사용한 학습용 게임의 설계 및 구현 방법을 제공하며, 한국어 인터프리터를 사용한 코딩 교육용 게임의 장점과 기존 코딩 학습 방법과의 차이점을 제시한다. 이를 통해 자발적이고 효과적인 코딩 교육을 기대할 수 있을 것이다.
