The purpose of this paper is to explore the types of subjectivity on edutainment features of software education implemented in elementary school. Q-method is used to seek individual learners' subjectivity type. Three types of subjectivity are found: implementation type, intellectual-fun type, and relationship type. Implementation type learners show positive attitude toward making their thinking into realization, intellectual-fun type learners show positive attitude toward solving problems that require intellectual activities, and relationship type learners show positive toward other persons' attention and consideration. These results imply software education will be more enhanced with these three types considered for implementing software education in elementary schools. This study is expected to contribute to further following research and practices.

Software Education will be implemented at elementary, middle and high schools starting in 2018. The goal of software education is to help students develop Computational thinking skills. Computational thinking is largely composed of abstraction and automation. However, the concepts related to abstraction are defined differently for each country, giving confusion to students and teachers. Therefore, in this paper several definitions of abstraction are compared and defined reasonably. And we proposed an abstraction teaching method and evaluation criteria in elementary school based on a reasonable definition. The definition of abstraction presented in this paper is expected to be able to present a solution to the problems encountered in the course of software education in the future.

In preparing for future education, the need for software education is increasing. In addition to the content of operation, the assessment portion issues have emerged as an important area in software education. In this study, we wanted to look at the effectiveness of the learner-led assessment in software education through literature research and consider what this suggests to the schooling. According to a study conducted on software education for elementary school students, the student-led assessment showed significant effects on the improvement of students' creativity, problem solving, information literacy, and increased interests in software education. Further research efforts are requested to help the schooling prepare for future education through student-led software assessment.

The National Institute of Special Education developed and distributed software textbooks for disabled students according to the necessity of practical course in elementary school and information in middle school in the 2015 revised curriculum. It is a textbook provided from the perspective of education opportunity equity but the content of programming education for visually impaired students was insufficient. Therefore this study was conducted for the purpose of confirming the effectiveness of programming education for visual impaired students and providing the direction of future programming education. In order to achieve the purpose, programming classes were conducted for blind students in the 6th grade of elementary school. As a result of a study using "Blocks4All", a block-based programming tool with robots, students participated in classes actively and efficacy, intrest, and usefulness of programming are high. This study is meaningful in that it confirmed the possibility of programming education for visually impaired students.

The purpose of this study is to examine teachers' stages of concern and levels of use about SW education based on Concerns-Based Adoption Model and to provide implications for teacher education. For this purpose, 152 survey responses were collected from elementary school teachers in South Korea. The result indicated that elementary school teachers' concerns about SW education showed the nonuser pattern in that teachers score highest in stage 0(awareness) to stage 2(personal) and in stage 6(refocusing). Additionally, teachers who are currently implementing SW education showed a tendency to be in the level of mechanical use or routine, and more than half of the teachers who are not implementing SW education showed no motivation to change current practices. There were statistically significant differences in the stages of concern depending on gender, teaching experience, SW training experience, SW teaching experience, and there were differences in the levels of use depending on the teachers' grade level in charge, SW training experience, and SW teaching experience. Based on the results of the research, various SW related programs as well as successful SW education experience for teachers need to be provided for teacher education in order to promote SW education.

오늘날 IT의 급속한 진보는 많은 변화를 가져왔다. 단순한 자원이나 노동력보다는 첨단과학기술을 이용하여 얼마나 의미 있는 정보를 찾아내고 활용하는가에 따라 개인의 경쟁력이 좌우된다. 즉, 개개인의 창의적인 아이디어와 지식, 정보의 생산과 활용이 앞으로의 국가경쟁력을 좌우하게 된다. 이에 따라 교육계에서도 창의적인 능력을 발휘할 수 있는 인간상을 추구하고 있다. 전국의 초 중등학교가 정보인프라 구축으로 컴퓨터를 활용하는 교육이 가능하게 되었다. 비로소 미래사회를 대비하여 정보우수인력을 길러낼 수 있는 여건이 조성된 것이다. 그러나 현재까지 개발된 초등 컴퓨터 교재는 소프트웨어의 활용법을 소개하는 데 그치고 있다. 컴퓨터 교육이 활용교육으로 치우치다 보니 창의력 제한, 자기 주도적 학습 능력 부족 등 여러 가지 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 컴퓨터 활용법에만 두었던 기존의 교육방법을 탈피하여 체계적이고 쉬운 초등 컴퓨터 창의성 교재 개발 연구 방안을 제시하고자 하는데, 특히 컴퓨터 구조, 운영체제, 네트워크 등의 동작 원리를 기반으로 한다.

This paper aimed to analyze the effect of SW convergence education applying Yut-nori on the knowledge information processing ability of elementary school students. A study was conducted targeting elementary school students in the islands of Jeollanam-do. A SW convergence education applying Yut-nori was developed and applied to the experimental group. A pre-test for knowledge and information processing competency was conducted, SW convergence education applying Yut-nori was conducted, and a post-test for knowledge and information processing competency was conducted. As a knowledge information processing capability test tool, the upper elementary school knowledge information processing competency measurement tool was used for analysis. According to the analysis, SW convergence education using Yut-nori is effective in improving knowledge and information processing competency, which is the ability of elementary school students to collect, analyze, evaluate, and use selected knowledge and information to solve problems efficiently. It was found to be effective in improving knowledge and information processing competency.

In this study, we have look through the national progress of computer science education in South Korea and analyzed the main subjects and contents of each period. We suggests the ways to evolve the current computer science education in terms of class hours for computer science education, hierarchical instructions, and the limitation of current national curriculum. In South Korea, it has been leaded the computer science education in the world since the it was promoted in earnest since 1995. Based on the recently revised national curriculum, South Korean government are taking efforts to nurture a leader through computer science education in terms of the students' future skills. However, it should be promoted to strengthen the ability of not only problem-solving ability through programming education, but also balanced computing and digital literacy through enhancing the ICT skills. In order to improve the curriculum of computer science education in elementary school of South Korea, a sufficient class hours of computer science education should be secured first.

PISA의 연구 결과에 따르면 컴퓨터 활용 빈도나 ICT 활용 환경 등의 양적 활용 실태는 세계적인 수준이나 프로그램이나 소프트웨어 활동 등의 컴퓨터 질적 활용 정도는 제고될 필요성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 초등 컴퓨터 교육에도 시사하는 바가 크다. 하지만 인적 물적 여건 등으로 인해 프로그래밍 교육을 초등학교 현장에 바로 적용하기에는 무리가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 언어의 복잡성이 낮고 프로그래밍 단계와 과정이 간단한 HTML을 현장에 효과적으로 적용하기 위한 텍스트 에디터를 개발하고 개선점을 찾아보았다. 텍스트 에디터는 우선 태그를 직접 칠 필요가 없으며 학생들이 쉽게 학습할 수 있도록 도움말을 제시해 주었고 간단한 이미지 뷰어 기능을 통해 쉽게 이미지를 넣을 수 있도록 하였다. 개발된 텍스트 에디터의 효과를 설문지로 조사한 결과 쉽게 HTML 문서를 작성할 수 있어 학습에 도움이 된다는 점과 도움말을 제시한 부분은 긍정적으로 평가된 반면 보다 UI를 좀더 개선해야 한다는 결과가 나왔다.

The purpose of this study is derived implications at software curriculum development utilizing the backward design model. In this study, we developed 'Algorithms and Programming' unit teaching plan based on backward design template. First, we have derived enduring understandings, essential questions, specific knowledge and skill on 'Algorithms and Programming' unit by considering the goal, content, achievement standard of Software education operating instructions. Second, we developed authentic tasks using GRASPS technic and holistic scoring rubrics. Third, we developed 7 lesson 14 WHERETO element for effective teaching in 'Algorithms and Programming' unit. Fourth, we investigated about the effectiveness of the development unit based on backward design. Backward design could be useful of developing curriculum unit and lesson plan at software education.
