This study aims to figure out what kind of competences Chinese teachers need when teaching foreigners Chinese and if there is a difference between the importance degree they cognise and the practical level they keep, which could help to indicate improving directions of teachers' cultivation and training. To achieve this purpose, we chose 56 in-service Chinese teachers in Q City, Shandong Province, China as the subject of investigation. As results of this study, about the importance degree of competences of teaching foreigners Chinese, the average score is pretty high, which could assure the competences Chinese teachers need, but as for practical level, the average score is relatively low, which could help to assure the improving directions. In conclusion, competences of teaching foreigners can be divided into knowledge, skill and attitude. To improve the practical level of Chinese teachers, it's necessary to attach more importance to Chinese culture, methods of language education, cross-cultural adaptation, research on teaching and so on in Chinese teachers' cultivation and training programs.

The KAIE computing system curriculum consists of information equipment, operating systems, and information and communication fields, and covers basic understanding and principles of computer science. The role of the teacher is important to achieve the curriculum achievement standards. Therefore, we examined the factors affecting the teaching capacity of the KAIE computing system curriculum. The results of this study show that the teaching methods of teachers through the literacy of information and communication technology have a statistically significant effect on the teaching competency of the computing system curriculum. Also, male teachers perceived higher perceived factors than female teachers. The differences in teaching competency between teacher groups of less than 5 years and less than 5~10 years were significant. Based on these results, it is necessary to develop collaborate SW teaching strategies and mentor - centered training programs that can strengthen ICT and SW professors' competence and encourage participation of low - career teachers and female teachers.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of school library reading classes on the convergence literacy of adolescents based on the convergence reading education model. To achieve this, elements of convergence education for future-oriented competence were derived from the level of reading education based on previous studies and literature, and the effectiveness of education was measured by conducting a convergence literacy test targeting 50 general high school students. In this study, reading classes and tests were conducted over 12 sessions from April 2022 to November 2022, and the study participants were divided into two groups, and convergence reading education and self-reading education were applied respectively. The analysis results of this study are as follows. First, It was verified that there was a significant difference in the promotion of convergent literacy of adolescents according to the method of reading education. Second, it was verified that convergence reading education had a significant effect on convergence literacy of adolescents such as convergence, creativity, self-direction and communication ability. Third, as a result of verifying whether learning motivation plays a mediating role in convergence reading education influencing convergent literacy, learning motivation played a partial mediating role and had an indirect effect on creativity, self-direction, and communication ability between convergence reading education and convergence literacy, but showed no significant mediating effect on convergence ability.

Many countries design and implement informatics curriculum based on core competencies to respond to the demands of development and reform in rapidly changing times. In this paper, we developed the core competencies framework of elementary information education by comparing and analyzing the core competencies and suggested the direction of the composition of elementary informatics subjects. We found that social-emotional skills, communication, creativity, responsibility, culture and ethics, problem-solving, collaboration and abstract competencies overlapped among the capabilities presented by each country and institution, and computational thinking and information technology utilization skills in Korea. Therefore, we proposed to reflect the core competencies of the framework in the elementary informatics curriculum. Moreover, we also suggested enhancing problem-solving skills, strengthening social responsibility and cultivating convergent skills to organize the curriculum. We hope that this thesis will expand the necessity of organizing an elementary information curriculum that reflects core competencies in the 2022 revised curriculum.
