As the importance of artificial intelligence(AI) education is emphasized recently, policies and researches are being promoted to develop the AI curriculum or courses for K-12 students in worldwide. In this study, researcher analysed a synthesis of contents and standards on AI education curriculum to present implications for AI education in the elementary and secondary schools. As a result, Korea and the United States are proposing national curriculum standards to provide the basis for AI curriculum establishment in school sites and to provide guidelines for various related policies such as teacher training programs. The EU's AI education is characterized by its curriculum and online courses to ensure that all citizens of the EU have AI literacy, rather than designating students or subjects at specific school levels. In terms of educational contents and levels, Korea, United States, and EU's curriculum or standards includes basics and applications related to machine learning and neural network based on the fundamental concepts and principles of artificial intelligence.

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.

최근 인공지능의 새로운 기술들이 하루가 다르게 발전하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 인공지능 교육과 글쓰기 교육을 연계하여 초등학생들의 어휘력 향상을 위한 수업을 설계하고자 한다. 그 방법으로는 본 수업에 앞서 어휘 10문제를 테스트하여 실험에 참가하기 전의 어휘력을 점검한다. 그 후 머신러닝 포키즈를 이용하여 여러 감정에 해당되는 단어들을 다양하게 훈련하도록 하였고, 그 후 관련된 어휘 10문제를 다시 테스트 하였다. 실험 결과 실험에 참가하기 전에는 100점 만점에 58.8점으로 나왔으나 훈련 후의 결과는 평균 68점으로 모든 학생의 성적이 좋아지는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 어휘력 문항수가 적은 점과 10명의 실험참가자로 일반화할 수 없는 한계가 있다. 향후 초등교재 한권을 선정하여 어휘를 모두 분석한 후 가장 많이 등장하는 어휘를 골라내어 테스트하여 좀 더 통계적으로 의미 있는 분석을 하고자 한다.

This paper proposes an action plan for local governments to safely utilize artificial intelligence technology in various local government policies. The proposed method analyzes cases of application of artificial intelligence-related laws and policies in Gyeonggi Province, Seoul City, and New York City, and then presents matters that local governments should consider when utilizing AI technology in their policies. This paper applies the AILocalism-Korea analysis methodology, which is a modified version of the AILocalsm analysis methodology[1] presented by TheGovLab at New York University. AILocalism-Korea is an analysis methodology created to analyze the current activities of each local government in the fields of legal system, public procurement, mutual cooperation, and citizen participation, and to suggest practical alternatives in each area. In this paper, we use this analysis methodology to present 9 action plans that local governments should take based on safe and reliable use of artificial intelligence. By utilizing various AI technologies through the proposed plan in local government policies, it will be possible to realize reliable public services.

The educational environment, where the change to blended learning and AI convergence education through non-face-to-face is accelerating, is based on the cultivation of digital literacy. This study attempted to verify the effectiveness of future competencies by creating a collaborative SW education program on the metaverse platform that emerged by supplementing the problems through non-face-to-face. Twenty programs on how to design and create software were organized for small-scale elementary classes in the metaverse. In order to verify the effectiveness 4C competency tool presented as future educational competency was selected, and homogeneity test for the experimental group and t-test were conducted. The results showed the SW education programs based on metaverse was effective in improving collaborative communication skills, confirming the possibility of SW education through blended learning.
