In this study, we analyzed algorithm curriculum in Korea, the United Kingdom, the United States, India, and Estonia. In order to teach 1st - 9th grade students computer algorithm, we suggested the algorithm framework based on the spiral curriculum, which is repeatable and progressive. The framework is divided into 4 areas, which includes understanding, expressing, evaluating, and using algorithms in daily life. Each area has 4 levels which are based on the students grade. We have to offer lectures for about computer OS to student teachers at the National Universities of Education; to develop textbooks and materials about algorithm; and to establish Information Science as a part of the primary school curriculum.

The objective of this study is to describe the status of operation of after-school science activities in elementary school and offer suggestions for the activation of such programs by targeting parents who participated in an open class, and examining their recognition of the program. To achieve this, announcement sheets for after-school science activities in 809 elementary schools in Gyeonggi-do were collected to examine the class names, class fees, material costs, and management status of class hours. In addition, 36 parents who participated in an open class were targeted, and their recognition of the program was analyzed using the results of a questionnaire. A draft of the questionnaire was developed by revising and complementing the 2013 customer satisfaction survey of the living science class of the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science & Creativity. The final questionnaire was completed by consulting 1 science education professor and 12 Master's candidates in science education for advice on the validity of the questionnaire content and terminology. The collected data were analyzed using a statistical program. Based on the results of the study, the following suggestions are proposed for the activation of after-school science activities in elementary school. First, the needs of education consumers (parents) should be identified and reflected persistently to activate after-school science activities in elementary school. Second, a science program that reflects the demand and choice of education consumers (parents) needs to be developed for the continuous activation of after-school science activities in elementary school.

초등학교 학습자를 대상으로 컴퓨터 과학의 원리를 가르치기 위하여 EPL, 로봇프로그래밍, Unplugged Project 등 다양한 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 또한 로봇을 활용한 경진대회, 창의 대회 등 교육과정 외적인 부분에서도 활성화되고 있는 추세이다. 하지만 대부분의 로봇, 공학 경진대회는 특정 로봇의 기능 및 사용법, 흥미 위주의 획일적인 내용을 벗어나고 있지 못한 실정이며, 통합적 접근을 했던 기존의 프로그램들은 창의적 문제해결을 목적으로 여러 학문의 융합, 통합을 주장하고 있다. 본 연구에서의 통합은 초등 학습자의 학습으로의 보다 본질적인 접근이 필요하며, 교육과정 전반에 걸친 폭넓은 학습 활동 측면에서 프로그래밍(로봇)의 통합의 필요성을 주장하고 있다. 이제는 프로그래밍(로봇) 학습이 왜 통합 학습으로 교육과정 상에 녹아 들어가야 하는지에 관한 본질적인 논의가 이루어져야 할 시점으로 생각된다. 이 논문의 본문은 크게 두 부분으로 이루어져 있는데 첫째, 초등학교 로봇프로그래밍 교육을 통합적 관점으로 접근했던 기존의 프로그램의 사례를 살펴볼 것이며, 둘째, 초등학교 학습자에게 통합이 어떠한 의미인지를 고찰해 볼 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to design a system of web-based discovery learning and testify its effectiveness, in order to complement the difficulties of discovery learning considered to be hard to be applied to the school education because of shortage of time and materials, though discovery learning is one of inquiry learning emphasized in the 7th national curriculum of elementary science. As for the process of testifying, it compared the differences between comparative group with normal discovery learning model and experimental group with web-based system of discovery learning model, targeting the subject of extending spring among the 4th grade science. As a result, the experimental group achieved higher academic performance compared to the comparative group applied to the normal discovery learning model.

This study was performed to compare and to analyze the contents validity on the unit related in computer of practical arts education text of the 7th national curriculum, to look deep into the problem on contents and to propose the strategy of reformation, to suggest in strategies for development of subject for the 8th national curriculum in our society on current IT-based. And this thesis suggests the revised operating guide of ICT education according to 2009 curriculum and new IT-environment.

본 연구에서는 Computing Curricula 2020에서 제시하고 있는 지식 요소를 바탕으로 초등학교 실과와 중학교 정보 교과의 내용 요소의 변화를 비교·분석해 보았다. 연구 결과, 초등학교는 2022 개정 교육과정에서 총 5개의 지식 요소를 포함하였고, '컴퓨팅 시스템 기초', '디지털 디자인'과 관련한 내용 요소가 추가되었다. 중학교는 2022 개정 교육과정에서 총 11개의 지식 요소를 포함하였고, '운영체제', '지능 시스템(AI)'과 관련한 내용 요소가 추가되었다. 그 중 내용 요소의 비율이 크게 변화한 영역은 '소프트웨어 설계', '자료구조 및 알고리즘과 복잡도', '운영체제', '지능 시스템(AI)' 등이었다. 향후 연구에서는 본 연구에서 분석하지 못한 고등학교 정보과의 내용 요소를 분석해보고자 한다.

In this study, we investigated the elements of knowledge and information processing competence of science inquiry activities in grades 3-6 science textbooks. For this purpose, the elements of knowledge and information processing competence were extracted and a framework for analysis was created. Analysis of eight science textbooks for grades 3-6 in elementary school was carried out using the analysis framework. The following results were obtained by the analysis framework: First, we divided the knowledge and information processing competence into five elements: 'collection,' 'analysis,' 'expression,' 'selection,' and 'evaluation.' Second, the elements of knowledge and information processing competence of science inquiry activity of elementary science textbooks were not evenly composed. The science inquiry activities of elementary science textbooks focused on 'collection' and 'analysis' among the five elements of the knowledge and information processing competence, followed by 'expression,' 'selection,' and 'evaluation.' As a result, we found that a science inquiry model or a science instruction model is needed to develop the knowledge and information processing competence in elementary school science curriculum.

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyse the elementary school science curriculum and textbooks of South and North Korea, then gather the fundamental sources for the establishment of elementary school science curriculum after Unification of Korea by clarifying the difference and the likeness in educational objectives, contents, teaching methods of both Korean elementary school sciences. Based on this comparison and analysis, this study tried to give the concrete suggestions for the elementary school science curriculum and textbook development after Unification. For this, analyses were carried out for the curriculum managing systems, subject organization, education goal, emphasis on each field, teaching-learning and evaluation method. Besides, this study compared and analysed the elementary school science textbook development and distribution system, apparent format, content organization, ratio of content categories, content scope and level and the related terms appeared in both Korean elementary school science textbooks. The result of this study showed a lot of differences in the educational objectives, contents, and educational method of the elementary school science between South and North Korea. The grasping of these differences and the exact understanding about what causes these differences and how the differences are made must be the necessary work for the science curriculum establishment, especially for elementary school science curriculum and textbook development, after Unification.
