컴퓨팅 사고력은 복잡한 문제를 빠르고 정확하게 해결하기 위하여 컴퓨터 과학의 개념과 원리 혹은 컴퓨팅 시스템을 활용하는 절차적인 사고 능력을 의미한다. 컴퓨팅 사고력의 중요성이 강조되고 있는 가운데 컴퓨팅 사고력 향상 방안에 대한 많은 연구들이 이루어지고 있으나 실질적으로 학습자들의 사고력 향상을 평가는 상대적으로 소홀한 편이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 컴퓨팅 사고력 평가 기준으로 컴퓨팅 사고력 문제 해결 요소 10가지를 제시하고 이를 기준으로 어떻게 평가할 것인가에 대한 방안을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of science writing activities on high school students' scientific thinking ability in Life Science I class. In order to do this, 6 teaching-learning materials dealing with science writing and an evaluation tool for scientific thinking ability were developed. And the subjects were 224 high school students of 6 classes. As a result of applying science writing activities in Life Science I class, the students' scientific thinking ability was improved. And students' inductive/deductive/critical/creative thinking ability was improved. In addition, in the most of the evaluation criteria of scientific thinking ability, the scores of posttest were higher than those of pretest. The number of students to show higher performance levels was increased. Therefore, science writing activities have positive effect on high school students' scientific thinking ability. This study provides some implications for teaching science writing activities to develop students' scientific thinking ability.

A SW competency based on computational thinking is considered as one of the core competencies in the future society. However, the concept of computational thinking is difficult to be introduced to the class because of the lack of appropriate educational program and the shortage of proper understandings of students and teachers. Thus, we have applied computational thinking based STEAM program and analyzed its effectiveness to explore the educational possibilities of computational thinking. The 49 samples were selected, 23 for the experimental group, and 26 for the control group. Pre-post tests for integrated thinking abilities and computational thinking were done to explore the CT-STEAM program's effectiveness. As a result, the components of integrated thinking abilities, science preference and self-directed learning abilities were enhanced after CT-STEAM instruction. In addition, computational thinking assessment score was statistically significant. We expect new STEAM programs using various computing tools to be developed in the future.

Recently, interest in online teaching·learning and evaluation tools has increased in the context of Covid-19. In order to use tools effectively, it is necessary to identify the structural influence and causal relationship between the learner's affective and cognitive variables. In this study, to identify a causal relationship between motivation and thinking while using online judge, research and competing model were established and model fit/path analysis were performed. It was found that there was a linear causal relationship from tool usage, self-efficacy, flow, logical thinking, to computational thinking. It was confirmed that 'self-efficacy → flow', or 'flow' had mediating effect on the path from tool usage to thinking, and tool usage was not exerted to thinking through 'flow → self-efficacy'. The causality of 'logical thinking → computational thinking' was identified on the path where tool usage affects thinking ability through learning motivation, but the causality of 'computational thinking → logical thinking' was not identified.

This study was to review the research trends in domestic computing thinking and to suggest future research direction by analyzing 138 papers related to computing thinking published in domestic academic journals from 2015 to 2018. As a result, domestic research on computing thinking has been steadily increasing since 2015, and quantitative research, development research and experimental research were mainly used. Most research were conducted for elementary school students and university students. Research topics are oriented to the curriculum and program as well as the relationship among the variables related with computational thinking. It is necessary to explore empirical studies such as teaching methods, teaching tools, media utilization, and evaluation methods in order to promote learner's computing thinking. Also, it is needed to explore various variables related to enhance computing thinking and the relationship among the variables.

Computational thinking is complexity and independent subject matter being capable to learn concept of computer science and providing methodology of problem solving. Also many experts have said that computational thinking will be grow essential tool in the further developing information society. Thus our country has been trying to introduce it in the K12 informatics subject matter education. Therefore we proposed a introducing method of computational thinking being appropriated of a character of it in the informatics curriculum. To do this, we analyzed character and worthy of it, advanced model cases introducing it into the curriculum. And we proposed that introduced case of it into curriculum is divided 3 cases archiving computational thinking itself, being connected aim of general subject matter with it and computer science education. According to this advanced cases, this study selected permeative style of computational thinking with the informatics subject matted curriculum. This method is divided achievement criterion into contents and means. also we proposed that contents area of informatics subject matter achievement criterion is composed Computing System, Information Life, Software and means area can be filled with subset of computational thinking. This introducing method can make informatics subject matter education settle subject matter helping problem solving through computer system beyond character of technology oriented subject matter.

There is a hot debate about what the core competencies of future generations, who have to live an uncertain future, should cultivate. The future society is expected to become a Software-oriented Society driven by software. Under these circumstances, interest in software education is exploding around the world, and interest in cultivating computational thinking through software education is also increasing. Also, discussions about what computational thinking is and what competence factors are made up are in progress. However, the research on the relationship between the competence factors of computational thinking is relatively insufficient. In order to solve this problem, this study proceeded as follows. First, five competence factors of computational thinking were selected. Second, we defined a path model to analyze the relationships among the competence factors of computational thinking. Third, we chose a test tool to test computational thinking. Fourth, the computational thinking tests were conducted for 801 students in grades 3 through 6 of elementary school. Fifth, implications were derived by analyzing various viewpoints based on the results of the computational thinking test.

컴퓨팅 사고력은 제 4차 산업혁명 시대에 접어든 우리 사회에서 필요로 하는 미래 역량으로 꼽히고 있으며, 우리나라에서도 2015 개정 문이과 통합형 교육과정을 통해 컴퓨팅 사고력 신장을 위한 SW교육을 강조하고 있다. 3D 모델링 교육은 컴퓨팅 사고력과 직접적인 관련이 있다. 3D 모델링을 위하여 실제의 구체물을 단순화 하거나, 모델링을 위하여 필요 없는 부분을 삭제하거나 추가하는 것이 컴퓨팅 사고력의 추상화에 해당된다. 그리고 모델링 프로그램을 사용하는 것은 일종의 자동화에 해당된다. 본 연구에서는 컴퓨팅 사고력 신장을 위한 3D 모델링 교육에서 권장할만한 3D 모델링 프로그램을 틴커캐드(TinkerCad)로 제시하였으며, 컴퓨팅 사고력 신장을 위한 틴커캐드 활용 초등 3D 모델링 교육 방법을 제시하였다.

일반 학생과 소외계층 학생은 컴퓨팅 기기에 대한 접근성은 큰 차이가 존재하지 않지만, 컴퓨팅 기기를 활용하는 역량에서는 큰 차이가 존재한다. 이러한 문제는 소외계층과 일반 학생 사이에 컴퓨팅 사고력 차이를 유발하였으며, 공교육에서 이루어지는 소프트웨어 교육의 효과 차이를 초래하였다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 소외계층의 컴퓨팅 사고력을 분석하는 연구를 진행하였다. 소외계층 학생을 대상으로 설문 조사를 진행하고, 설문 결과를 요인에 따라 분석하는 연구를 진행하였다. 연구 결과, 소외계층 학생은 학교급이나 성별에 따른 컴퓨팅 사고력의 차이는 존재하지 않았다. 반면에 경험한 프로그래밍 언어에 따른 컴퓨팅 사고력의 차이가 나타났다. 특히, 소외계층 학생은 프로그래밍 언어 경험이 많을수록 컴퓨팅 사고력이 높은 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
