Rapid changes in the knowledge and information society of the 21st century should be embraced and applied to teachers. Since artificial intelligence(AI) is an important axis of rapid change, artificial intelligence education should be started from elementary school. This change requires elementary school teachers to have basic skills for AI education. In this study, an AI education program for elementary school teachers is developed. This development consists of three stages, the first stage is the understanding of artificial intelligence, the second stage is the understanding and application of artificial intelligence tools, and the final stage is the creation and application of artificial intelligence programs. 15 elementary school teachers were tested. The result of this study will be a useful educational program for teachers in charge of AI education in elementary school students.

Physical computing is the concept of expanding computing to humans, environments, and objects. It draws attention as a programming learning medium based on physical outputs in integration of hardware and software. This study developed a programming learning model based on interactive prototyping using the characteristics of physical computing with a high degree of technical freedom and analyzed its learning effect in an experiment. To examine the effect of the experimental treatment, this researcher divided fifty nine 5th-grade elementary students into an experimental group and into a control group. the interactive prototyping programming learning model was applied to the experimental group, and a linear sequential programming learning model was applied to the control group. Information Science Creative Personality Test was conducted before and after the experimental treatment. Analysis of Covariance was conducted with the pre-test scores of the two groups. As a result, it was proved that there was the effect of learning at the significance level of .05. It indicates that the physical computing based interactive prototyping programming learning model is applicable to the programming learning for 5th-grade elementary students.

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.

Rapid changes in modern society after the COVID-19 have highlighted artificial intelligence talent as a major influencing factor in determining national competitiveness. Accordingly, the Ministry of Education planned a large-scale SW·AI camp education project to develop the digital capabilities of 4th to 6th grade elementary school students and middle and high school students who are in a vacuum in artificial intelligence education. Therefore, this study aims to develop a camp-type SW·AI education program for students in grades 4-6 of elementary school so that students in grades 4-6 of elementary school can acquire basic knowledge in artificial intelligence. For this, the meaning of SW·AI education in elementary school is defined and SW·AI contents to be dealt with in elementary school are: understanding of SW AI, 'principle and application of SW AI', and 'social impact of SW AI' was set. In addition, an attempt was made to link the set elements of elementary school SW AI education and learning with related subjects and units of textbooks currently used in elementary schools. As for the program used for education, entry, a software coding learning tool based on block coding, is designed to strengthen software programming basic competency, and all programs are designed to be operated centered on experience and experience-oriented participants in consideration of the developmental characteristics of elementary school students. In order for SW·AI education to be organized and operated as a member of the regular curriculum, it is suggested that research based on the analysis of regular curriculum contents and in-depth analysis of SW·AI education contents is necessary.

미래사회를 대비하기 위하여 7차 교육과정에서는 창의력과 문제해결력 신장을 그 목표로 하고 있다. 그러나 학교에서의 컴퓨터 교육과정은 지나치게 기능 위주의 내용이나, 단순 컴퓨터 활용교육만을 강조하고 있어 이러한 취지를 잘 살리지 못하고 있다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해 컴퓨터 프로그래밍에 대한 관심이 점점 증대되고 있다. 컴퓨터 프로그래밍은 그 자체가 문제 해결 과정을 포항하고 있기 때문이다. 그러나 프로그래밍을 초등학생들이 배우면서 프로그래밍의 기초인 이진법과 이진연산을 쉽게 이해하지 못해 어려움을 많이 겪고 있다. 게다가 이진법은 디지털화의 중심기술로서, 향후 미래사회를 이해하는데 매우 중요한 부분으로 자리 잡아 그 자체로도 큰 중요성을 가지게 되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 학생들 수준에 맞춰 프로래밍의 기초와 이진법, 이진연산을 학습할 수 있는 교육 방안을 개발하기 위해 'LED 소자를 이용한 프로그래밍의 기초교육 방안'을 설계하여, 고차원적인 문제해결력과 창의성을 기르는 컴퓨터 교육의 한 모델을 제시하였다.

This study intends to analyse the programming class with visual-basic, scratch and pico-cricket in elementary school. The study analyses cognitive domain by creativity tests and instructional process by student task engagement and the required factor of student's activity-nowadays, a lot of encouragement of learning use-. According to the result, The creativity of groups who use three teaching aid improves, but it hasn't any meaning. according to the student task engagement analysis by instructional process, According to the student task engagement analysis by instructional process, The concentration of group that uses pico-cricket and scratch falls down a little, but The concentration of group that uses visual-basic falls down remarkably. At last, according to the result of the required factor of student's activity, scratch and pico-cricket spend time discussing and programming, but visual-basic spends time correcting coding error. But pico-cricket spends much time preparing teaching aid or checking instrument, so this fact has to reflect when teacher plans his class. Through this fact, scratch and pico-cricket are better than visual basic as effective teaching aid when teacher teaches programming.
