The objective of this study is to suggest the contents of education for software for Undergraduates who are not majoring in IT to cultivate creative and convergent people to prepare for the 4th Industrial Revolution. In the background, this study investigated the relationship between design thinking and computing thinking factors and examined the direction of software education to develop creative problem solving abilities. Two specialist questionnaires and focus group interviews were used to derive two levels of content elements for design thinking based computing thinking. According to the results of the analysis, This research is based on the process of design thinking, focusing on diffuse thinking at the first level, and the whole contents are composed. The process of producing a prototype was used to derive the computational thinking contents necessary for problem solving. This study focuses on convergent thinking at the second level and draws out the contents of computing thought to embody the first level contents of various ideas and stories into computing. It is expected that this study will be used as basic data to develop the content and method of education as SW education for non - major subject in university.

본 연구는 초등학교에서 로봇 활용 SW 교육을 실시하고 사전 수준 및 성별에 따라 효과에 차이가 있는지 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 경기도의 A 초등학교 5, 6학년 학생 155명을 대상으로 로봇 활용 SW 교육을 실시하였으며, 수집된 자료는 대응 표본 t 검정, 일원분산분석, 공분산분석을 통해 평균의 차이를 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 로봇 활용 SW 교육을 실시한 후 학생들의 컴퓨팅사고력과 창의성이 유의하게 향상되었으나, 컴퓨팅사고력 수준이 상 집단인 학생들은 유의한 향상을 나타내지 않았다. 또한 학생들의 컴퓨팅사고력은 성별의 차이가 없었으나, 창의성은 성별에 따른 차이가 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 사전 수준과 성별에 따른 로봇 활용 SW 교육의 효과를 규명하여 로봇 활용 SW 교육에 대한 이해를 확장시켰다는 점에서 연구의 의의가 있다.

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.

A physical computing education is helpful for enhancing learners' computational thinking, creativity, and collaborative problem solving ability and so on. Recently, it is being actively promoted according to the software education policy and the 2015 revised national curriculum in Korea. This study describes a meta-synthesis of research on physical learning education that investigates the extent to which there is evidence of benefits and challenges for physical computing education. 37 articles were identified, and 20 articles met the inclusion criteria. The synthesis resulted in the list of purposes, teaching and learning methods, and physical computing tools, and benefits of physical computing education.

This study is an example of the education of block coding and physical computing teaching tool for preservice teachers at the college of education. The students were familiar with coding and improved their coding skills in solving various problems through 'Entry' that support block coding. In addition, the students configured the computing system with various input / output devices of the physical computing teaching tool and controlled things through programming and produced the educational portfolio to experience the whole process of problem analysis, design, implementation, and testing in coding. We applied Flow based coding and Pair programming as the teaching methods, and the results of the survey to measure the effectiveness of the study show that students have a good understanding of the entry and physical computing teaching tool and using the combination of the entry and physical computing teaching tool were more effective in learning than the Entry-only coding. In addition, it was confirmed that the effect of Pair programming applied in the physical computing teaching tool.

SW education has been incorporated into the regular curriculum since the 2015 curriculum due to the social changes caused by the 4th industrial revolution. The most important thing in SW education is the improvement of Computational Thinking. The study on the underprivileged who have little opportunity for education was relatively inadequate. In this study, CT competency of 135 underprivileged students were measured who were suffering from educational underprivileged. The underprivileged students were recruited from 15 local children's centers in Namyangju city and recruited 210 general students from B elementary schools in Namyangju city by setting up a selection criterion. As a result of comparing the CT competence between the two groups, it was found that the CT competence of the underprivileged students was lower than that of the general students, and suggested several implications with this result.

As computational thinking has been noted as an important competency worldwide, SW education was introduced in the 2015 revised curriculum, and SW education has been applied to the curriculum from 2018. However, in a poor educational environment, the educationally underprivileged class is in the blind spot of SW education and is not receiving systematic SW education. Therefore, this study analyzed the effect of conducting a non-face-to-face SW online education program for 267 underprivileged elementary school students in education at a time when non-face-to-face online education was being conducted through the COVID-19 mass infectious disease. As a result of conducting the computational thinking ability test, which abstraction, problem decomposition, algorithm, automation, and data processing, before and after education, the overall score of computational thinking and the score of all five factors were statistically significantly increased(p<0.001). Among the five factors, there was the highest score improvement in data processing score. These results suggest that the non-face-to-face SW online education program is effective in improving the computational thinking ability of elementary school students from the educational underprivileged class.

The purpose of this study is to statistically analyze the correlation between unplugged activities using SW educational board games and computational thinking ability of elementary school students, and then find a method of SW education through the results. The study was conducted with 40 students in the 5th grade at an Elementary School in Incheon. Students participated at unplugged activities using a board game for SW education with 12 hours of teacher guidance and 10 hours of free activities. After that, a post-test was conducted to analyze the degree of improvement in computational thinking ability. As the results, it was confirmed that the comprehensive computational thinking ability was improved, and that the four areas of the sub-domains of computational thinking ability were improved to a significant level. These results suggest that providing a basic SW education experience by utilizing a board game for SW education helps to improve students' computational thinking ability.
