Digital inclusion is the ability or opportunities of individuals and groups to access and use information technology (IT). Digital inclusion strategies aims to ensure that all citizens regardless of their gender, race and class benefit from IT. Discourse of digital inclusion is notable in that it proposes a desirable relationship between the state, individuals, and the market within the shifting topology of technoscience. Throughout broad discourse analysis of media coverages, in-depth interviews and reports on Korean IT industry, this research argues that dialogues on digital inclusion have substantially influenced the formation of a specific ethical regime. In this regime, individuals should become subjects embodying IT expertise and acceptable codes of conducts. We further discuss that such government-driven ethical regime conflicts with technological citizenship practiced by IT experts and semi-experts. We make theoretical contribution to STS by expanding the concept of technological citizenship to include the rights and obligations of heterogeneous expert and semi-expert groups to form, propose and socially demand alternative developmental pathways of technoscience. We also note that, amid the conflict between ethical regime and technological citizenship, alternative interpretations of gender gap can be forged, providing competing perspectives on women's under-representation and labor conditions in the IT industry. Further research is required to capture the emergence of multiple identities--differentiated by gender, race, class, and more--within the clashing interface between the ethical regime and technological citizenship.

With the introduction of the 2015 revised curriculum, software education became mandatory in elementary school. The practical subject in the content for the software education consists of information ethics, algorithms, programming, and computer science. Especially, elementary school encourages the unplugged activities. Unplugged activities are preferred among the teachers in the education field as a teaching-learning method. However, those teachers pointed out that the lack of suitable unplugged activity materials was the biggest challenge. In addition, it was pointed out that the existing materials were not suitable for achievement standards, and there are many simple playing-oriented educations that are not linked to computing activities. In this study, we developed an unplugged activity-oriented robot that can be used for the elementary students to learn the basic control structure suggested in the achievement criteria SW education and to develop creative problem solving ability through various activities using sensors. The effectiveness was verified through the software class using the developed robot in this study.

Ministry of education recently announced to implement AI curriculum in elementary, middle school and highschool from 2025 which will include programing, basic AI principal and AI Ethics, and the media is releasing articles that have reservations on it. This study is focused on analyzing the perspective of elementary teachers - who are going to be in charge of AI education - on the implementation of AI education in elementary schools and the teachers are divided into two groups of 'software-experienced' and 'software-inexperienced' in relation to software training background. The results showed that 100% of the 'software-experienced' teachers agreed on implementing AI education and 80% of 'software-inexperienced' teachers also showed positive perspective on it. Among the reasons that 20% of 'software-inexperienced' teachers had negative perspective on AI education, it was highly rated that existing home economics subject covers fulfilling amount of software education. Both 'software-experienced' and 'software-inexperienced' teachers chose grade 5 and 6 as the most appropriate age for software education and considered one class per a week as the most appropriate amount of AI class. In terms of the subject format, 75% of the 'software-experienced' teachers chose the idea that software education has to be an independent school subject which will include AI education. Also, 54% of the 'software-inexperienced' teachers chose the ideas either AI education should be an independent subject or software education should be an independent subject which will include AI education. The preference of the content of AI education appeared in order of basic AI programing, principles of AI and AI Ethics.
