As software and artificial intelligence education became more and more important, in December 2019, the Ministry of Science and ICT announced plans to expand software and AI education to mandatory education in elementary and secondary schools by 2022. In addition to elementary and secondary schools, most universities are actively engaged in software education for computer non-majors, but research on coding education for computer non-majors is insufficient. The purpose of this paper is to find an efficient teaching and learning method for coding education for computer non-majors. Nowadays, college students, called Millennial and Generation Z, prefer visual information and are familiar with computers as digital natives. Based on these characteristics, this study examined the visual literacy and thinking styles of college students and then examined whether the students' visual literacy and thinking styles influenced coding-based problem solving in coding subjects. Based on this, this paper proposes an alternative to do programming education more efficiently for students who are new to coding.

Coding education is an effective convergence type educational tool. While solving problems and designing programs, students can enhance problem solving ability, logical reasoning ability and creative thinking. Researches on coding education are done primarily for elementary school and middle school students. However, researches on college students are lacking. Today, educating college students about coding is in dire need. Although there are efforts to promote the importance of coding education and make it requirements. People find it difficult to find ways to provide training. There is a need for researches on coding as universal education. Therefore, this research proposed educational training using app inventor based on flipped running in order to effectively promote coding education. This study conducted the survey and the personal interview to measure the effectiveness of coding education. It is hoped that, through coding education, students who do not major in coding could combined their knowledge of their major with coding to improve their problem solving ability to solve various problems based on computing knowledge and approach.

In the future society where ICT-based digital convergence creates new value, collaborative skills among experts in various fields and SW based problem solving ability is more emphasized. Non-SW specialists are required to have SW based communication skills to effectively collaborate with SW experts to solve their problems. Therefore, SW programming curriculum for non-major college students should be different from the existing programming education for SW-majors aiming at a high level of coding ability. It is also known that diagram-based visual representation is helpful for productive communication and collaboration. In this study, we defined the SW education objectives for the non-majors as cultivating the visual programming ability for SW based problem solving. In order to accomplish this, we explored SW programming curriculum and content development model for non-majors focusing on visual representation of SW solutions. The results of this paper will help to provide appropriate SW learning model for non-majors and to cultivate practical SW capabilities.

컴퓨터 사고를 이해하고 컴퓨터와 소통하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 컴퓨터 비전공자 대상으로 하는 강의의 목적성과 실효성을 규명하고, 나아가 학생과 강의자가 수업의 목표점의 접점을 찾아 나가는데 있다. 강의 대상은 컴퓨터 비전공자 학생 중 인문, 미술, 음악, 자연 계열의 학생들로서 그들이 현시점에서 이수한 교과과목 중 수학의 비중이 상대적으로 낮은 군에 속한다. 따라서 그들이 현실적으로 컴퓨터와 소통하기 위해 어떤 교육의 패러다임을 적용해야 하는가가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 텍스트 코딩이 가능한 파이썬을 컴퓨터 비전공생에게 학습시키는 이유와 목적에 대해 밝히고 학습의 실효성에 대해 논의한다.

본 연구는 IT 비전공 대학생을 위한 코딩교과목 개발을 목표로 한다. 이를 위해 선행연구 및 이론탐색을 통해 대학교양 교과목으로서 코딩교육을 탐색하고, 적용 가능한 수업모형 및 교육내용을 선정하여 기초내용을 구성한 후 3인의 교육공학 전문가와 3인의 코딩교과목 개발 유경험 대학교수를 대상으로 FGI 인터뷰 방법을 통하여 연구결과를 도출한다. 대학교양 교과목으로서 코딩교육의 필요성이 대두되고 있음에도 불구하고 현재 운영 중인 코딩교과목은 프로그래밍이 중심으로 구성되어 비전공 대학생들에게는 환영받지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 코딩교과목의 방향을 컴퓨팅사고 및 SW 기초교육을 목표로 메타버스 등의 플랫폼을 활용한 체험중심 수업설계를 통해, 실행 가능한 수업모형을 개발하고 대상자 인터뷰와 분석을 통해 이를 위한 교수학습방법을 설정할 것이다. 본 연구를 통해 제시될 메타버스 플랫폼을 활용한 체험중심 코딩교육은 이후 고등교육기관의 교딩교육 교과목 개발을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것이다

In the 4th Industrial Revolution situation it is essential to need the high quality of software in diverse industrial areas. In particular current software centered schools attempt to educate the creative thinking based coding to non-major students and beginners of computer. But the problem is insufficient on the definition and idea of the creative thinking based software. In addition in a aspect of coding education for non-major and new students we recognize to have no relationship between creative thinking methods and coding. In other words we should give them how to practically code and design through learning the creative thinking. To solve this problem we propose the codification of design thinking mechanism without the knowledge of software engineering through mapping creative thinking with software development process. With this mechanism we may expect for students to have some coding ability with the creative design.

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.

The programming education of non-computer major undergraduates aims to increase the their problem-solving and coding skills so that the skills can be applied to various fields and motivate them to continuously study computer or programming. However, it difficult for them to recognize the necessity of programming knowledge and to find out how it can be used in their major. Therefore, the professor needs to give students a full explanation of their roles to play. In this paper, we revisit the necessity of programming knowledge for non-computer major undergraduates by looking at the convergence cases of ICT technology and the humanities and social arts fields. And we propose an instruction direction of programming learning for them.
