소프트웨어는 일상의 삶을 더 편리하게 해 주는 도구 이상으로 우리의 생활 깊숙이 침투하였으며, 소프트웨어로 인해 산업의 구조가 바뀌고 세상이 바뀌어 가고 있다. 이러한 소프트웨어의 중요성을 인식하고 2015 개정 교육과정에서는 초등학교에서부터 소프트웨어를 이해하고 제작하는 교육이 실행될 예정이다. 하지만, 소프트웨어라는 것은 추상적인 개념으로 아동의 경험과 연결시켜 소프트웨어 교육이 이루어지기는 어려웠던 것이 사실이다. 존 듀이는 일상적인 삶의 경험 영역 내에 들어 있던 것들로부터 교육을 도출해 낼 수 있다고 하였고, 이는 아동의 입장을 신중히 고려한 방식이다. 따라서, 소프트웨어 교육 또한 아동의 일상경험에서 출발한다면 보다 효과적인 교육이 이루어 질 수 있으리라고 본다. 이에 본 연구에서는 존 듀이의 철학적 관점에서 소프트웨어 교육에 시사하는 바를 대해 논의해 보고자 한다.

이 연구는 초등 교사들의 SW 교육 연수 참여 시간에 따른 행태를 알아보기 위한 목적을 갖고 기존까지 진행된 초등 교사 대상 SW 연수에 대한 중간 점검을 하고자 하는 목적을 갖고 있다. 이 연구를 통해 다음을 제안한다. 1)여자 교사를 대상으로 하는 30시간 연수를 중점적으로 운영하고 적극 참여할 수 있게 유도하는 방법을 강구해야하고, 2)대도시와 읍면지역의 초등 교사들을 대상으로 SW 교육 연수에 관심을 갖게 할 흥미위주의 연수 프로그램을 강구해야하고, 3)교사의 SW 수업과 연구 활동의 저변확대를 위해 초등 교사들이 61시간 이상 SW 연수 프로그램에 참여할 수 있도록 종용해야 한다. 이 연구를 통해 앞으로 진행될 초등 교사 SW 연수 프로그램의 방향을 수정 보완하길 바라며, 보다 체계적인 연수 진행으로 인해 초등 교육 현장의 SW 교육 시작의 어려움이 최소화될 수 있기를 기대한다.

With the introduction of the 2015 revised curriculum, software education became mandatory in elementary school. The practical subject in the content for the software education consists of information ethics, algorithms, programming, and computer science. Especially, elementary school encourages the unplugged activities. Unplugged activities are preferred among the teachers in the education field as a teaching-learning method. However, those teachers pointed out that the lack of suitable unplugged activity materials was the biggest challenge. In addition, it was pointed out that the existing materials were not suitable for achievement standards, and there are many simple playing-oriented educations that are not linked to computing activities. In this study, we developed an unplugged activity-oriented robot that can be used for the elementary students to learn the basic control structure suggested in the achievement criteria SW education and to develop creative problem solving ability through various activities using sensors. The effectiveness was verified through the software class using the developed robot in this study.

This purpose of this study is to develop and apply the physical computing lessons based on the software guidelines from the Ministry of Education (2015). In this study, I research how computational thinking occurs in class by applying the physical computing lessons to elementary students based on computational practices. The physical computing lessons and analytic methods for computational thinking in this study can be used as a sample and case-study to develop the lessons in the educational field.

In this paper, previous research materials for the education in the area of information and communications of elementary information curriculum, new improvement and the suitability of contents selection were examined and analyzed. Targeting professors in the departments of elementary computer education nationwide, the importance of the educational contents organization and the appropriateness of education period were investigated. Based on the investigation results, they were evaluated through the verification of the third delphi survey, the final educational contents were selected, and the elements of key concepts, achievement standards were drawn up and suggested. The proposed organization of educational contents in the area of information and communications of the elementary information curriculum and the achievement standards will be able to be used for the re-organization and improvement of detailed elementary information educational contents.

The purpose of this study was to examine the research trends on software education for elementary school in Korea. It analyzed articles that were published in Korea from 2014 to 2017 focusing on the research methods, themes, and outcomes. The results are as follows. First, it was found that the number of articles about software education for elementary school is steadily increasing. Second, with regard to research methodology, quantitative research was the most popular research type, primarily through experimental research. Moreover, the most frequent research targets were elementary schoolchild. Thirdly, with regard to the research theme, out of the seven categories of software education for elementary schoolchild research, the category of the effect of software education on elementary schoolchild was investigated most frequently. Finally, the outcomes of the studies were described in accordance with the category investigated. Then discussions on limitations and suggestions for future studies were described.

SW 교육의 중요성은 이전 보다 강조되고 있지만, 학습의 사각에 놓여있는 학습부진아를 위한 SW 교육 과정의 개발은 거의 존재하지 않는다. 따라서 초등 학습부진아를 대상으로 SW 교육 과정을 개발하여 그들의 학습 흥미도를 높일 수 있도록 레고 위두 2.0을 기반으로 설계하고자 한다.

This study conducted a comparative analysis on domestic and foreign computer science curriculum, in order to introduce the data structure education as a core foundation of computer science. The findings show that the scope and level of data structure contents included in elementary school software education are poorer than those in U.S.A and England. To resolve such a problem, it selected some data structure education factors and a Delphi survey about the importance of contents and the fitness of education periods were administered to experts. Although they responded that 'text information', 'array', 'stack' and 'queue' for linear structures', and 'tree' for non-linear structures are important, their opinions were different in education periods by its factors. The generalization of the findings may be limited, given that the analysis was based on the survey of some experts, but this study has an implication, in that it provides important information for improving elementary school software curriculum for the introduction of data structures.

The Code Block Based Educational Programming Language(EPL) is the mainstream tool for software education for elementary students. However, Code Block Based EPL has limitations in scalability, even though there are many advantages as an introductory tool for software education. In this study, we searched the approach of SW education using Python, which is a text-based programming language actively used in real industrial field. We developed a learning program and model using Python and applied it to the sixth grade elementary school students for 10 hours. As a result, we found that the robot-based Python learning model had a significant effect on improving students' thinking skills and confirmed the applicability of text-based programming language to elementary school students.

2015 Software Education Guidelines aim to foster the capacity to solve the problem by extending the learners ICT literacy. However, this guidance does not include ICT literacy education content. This study develop a model curriculum on information ethics and creation tools for elementary school students. And 7 levels of learning contents and achievements on information ethics and creation tools are proposed in this study.
