In the newly revised curriculum, it is aimed to raise student who has creativity and convergence ability with computational thinking. Based on the analysis of revised curriculum including software education in elementary school, this study proposed educational program that can be applied in actual school field, considering various factors. This educational program using Bitbrick was conducted by 50 students in fifth grade that consist of 23 students in Seoul and 27 students in Gyeonggido during five weeks in 17 periods. The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of application of software education program in terms of computational thinking ability and problem solving ability. The effect was verified after comparing the result of pre-test and post-test through T-test. So, this study obtained improvement of computational thinking and problem solving ability.

다가올 미래 사회와 4차 산업혁명 시대에는 창의성(Creation)과 융합(Convergence)을 기반으로 다양한 분야에서의 문제해결력이 요구되며, 컴퓨팅 사고력(CT, Computational Thinking)은 문제 해결을 위한 필수 사고로 인식되고 있다. 이러한 시대적 흐름에 발맞춰, 성균SW교육원(SSEN)에서는 다른 전공을 가진 학생에게도 컴퓨팅 사고력 중심의 SW기초교육을 실시하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 성균SW교육원에서 시행하는 비전공자를 위한 컴퓨팅사고력 중심의 SW기초교육 체계에 대해 소개하고, 비전공자 SW교육에 대해 앞으로 나아갈 방향을 제시한다.

효율적인 학습활동을 위해 중요한 것 중 하나는 학습자의 학습의지다. 학습자의 학습동기를 유발할 수 있는 게임을 학습과 접목하여 학습내용으로 설정하고 프로그래밍 교육을 설계해보고자 한다. 교육도구로는 학습자들에게 친숙한 도구이자 일상생활에서 떼어놓을 수 없는 스마트 폰을 활용하고자 하며 프로그램으로는 앱 제작 프로그램인 앱 인벤터를 활용하고자 한다. 본 게임제작기반 교수학습설계를 통해 다양한 경우의 컴퓨팅 사고력을 훈련함으로 분석력, 논리력, 창의력 향상을 통한 문제해결력 신장과 제4차산업혁명시대에 적응할 수 있는 창의적 인재양성을 기대한다.

오늘날 미국과 영국 등을 포함한 세계 주요국가에서는 미래사회에 경쟁력을 기르기 위한 방법으로 소프트웨어교육을 내세우며 컴퓨팅 사고력 기반 문제 해결을 위한 소프트웨어 교육을 정규 교육과정에 포함 시키고 있다. 이에 우리나라도 교육부에서 '2015 개정 교육과정'에 소프트웨어 교육을 포함시키고, 초등 소프트웨어 교육의 목표를 '컴퓨팅 사고력과 건전한 정보윤리의식을 바탕으로 알고리즘과 프로그래밍을 체험하여 실생활의 다양한 문제를 이해하여 컴퓨팅 사고력을 가진 창의 융합 인재를 기르는 데에 목표가 있다'라고 발표하였다. 또한 소프트웨어 교육의 방향과 운영에 필요한 내용들 중에 교육 현장에서 소프트웨어 교육을 하기에 부족한 초등 소프트웨어 교육 시수의 적절한 확보와 교수 학습 방법의 연구가 필요한 것으로 발표하였다. 이에 소프트웨어 교육 목표에 부합하고, 초등학교 현장에서 부족한 소프트웨어 교육 시수 해소와 소프트웨어 교육 활성화를 위한 초등 소프트웨어 융합 교육 지도의 실제를 연구해 보기로 하였다.

Fostering science-gifted individuals are very important for the future of the nation, and it is especially important to cultivate information-gifted individuals in the age of the fourth industry. There is no standardized curriculum for each gifted education center of the University. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed how effective the curriculum developed on the basis of computing thinking is to affect the characteristics of the information-gifted individuals. The curriculum developed on the components of computing thinking was applied to the information-gifted students of K University. In order to verify the effectiveness of the curriculum, we developed a creative personality test and an intrinsic motivation test, and conducted tests before and after the training. We compared pre-post test results by t-test with R program. The creative personality test consisted of 36 items with 6 factors: risk-taking, self - acceptance, curiosity, humor, dominance, and autonomy. The intrinsic motivation test consisted of 20 items with 5 items: curiosity and interest oriented tendency, challenging learning task preference orientation, independent judgment dependency propensity, independent mastery propensity, and internal criterion propensity. The effect of the curriculum on the creative personality of the experimental group was significant (0.009, 0.05). The significance level of the intrinsic motivation was 0.056 and was not significant at the 0.05 level of significance.

Physical computing is utilizing principles of computing in the process of expressing one's ideas creatively and implementing them into tangible objects by combining hardware and software. Recent deployment of open source hardware and 3D printers increased the accessibility of physical computing. However, incorporating these into educational practices requires teachers' interest and competencies. This study aims to share the perceived opportunities of developing physical computing based lessons and challenges from teachers' experiences while primary teachers participated in learning fundamentals of physical computing and developing lessons. The findings of this study provide implications to the teachers who are interested in adopting physical computing into classes and in designing teacher training programs.

The purpose of this paper is to develop an unplugged education program that develops the 4C (Creativity, Critical thinking, Communication ability, Collaboration) and CT (Computational Thinking) competencies required in modern society. This study discovered "Fine Dust Robot" as a theme suitable for the unplugged education program, and designed the Unplugged 4-hour education program which can develop 4C and CT competencies. The first stage motivates learning, and the second and third stages develop unplugged activity to develop CT. In the fourth stage, the algorithms created through unplugged activities were programmed through the natural language instruction card and produced the output. We developed educational materials that can be utilized in the unplugged education program. Finally, education programs were conducted for elementary school students, and pre- and post-tests of computational thinking were conducted for general students and gifted students. Educational effective was found in both groups.

The 2015 revised curriculum offers elementary students an unplugged computing education as a way to learn the concepts and principles of computer science in an easy and fun way and to improve their computational thinking. Yutnori is a traditional board game unique to Korea, which contains various contents such as history, culture, and science of our people, which helps to cultivate cultural identity of learners, and can effectively promote cooperation and communication among members. In this paper, we examined the possibility that Yutnori could be used as an unplugged computing tool in elementary school software education and convergence education. Korean traditional board game Yutnori has elements that can learn the sun and movements of heavenly bodies as well as sequential, selection, and repetitive algorithm elements. Unplugged activities that apply Korean traditional culture Yutnori is expected to help foster creative convergence talents by improving elementary school students' computational thinking, communication and community.

The researches on the concept of justice and utilization for Computational Thinking with SW education are being actively discussed. However, a program has developed in conjunction with the actual elementary curriculum is not much. In this study, we have developed an educational program in applied mathematics based on CT. First, a separated view for a CT Application of mathematical concepts and objectives are set in three different application models. In order to achieve the CT-based math lessons, we also have developed a teaching and learning materials. We applied the developed materials in class, and to evaluate the satisfaction of learners. In addition to the validation of school application, we conducted a survey of professionals and teachers. The results of the analysis, the data showed that are helpful in the development of the student' CT ability as well as the ability to be helpful teaching and learning in school.

Due to increase in software-based new technologies, software developers are being required to creative problem solving. Especially, for a successful business change of software developers into a new industrial field, software analysis phase and design phase are important and it is an important task to strengthen these competences. In this study, two independent researches were conducted. First, a survey with 300 software developers was conducted and it was explored that uniform thinking of software developers caused by application of "standard software development methodology" made it difficult to approach creative problem solving. Based on this finding, the influences of 9 competences of computational thinking on software developers were analyzed after selecting 111 software developers with over 10 years of experience in the IT industry. As a result, it was revealed that abstraction was an important competence. The study finding demonstrates that software developers recognized design phase as the most important thing and abstraction of CT is the basics of other competences.
