The purpose of this study is to develop and applicate the computer science teaching-learning program to raise the next newest talented students in IT field. The experiment was conducted to analyze the effects of learners variables such as learning achievement and attitude at K elementary school in Chungcheongbuk-do during 8 weeks and samples were 74 students. The summary of results of this study are as follows : First, significant differences were not observed in part of achievement of learning between comparative group and the experimental group who used computer science program consisted of specific manipulative activities. However, the higher mean score means that teaching-learning based on specific manipulative activities have a positive effect on understanding contents of computer science. Second, it is found that students in experimental group respond more positively about computer science than comparative group.

Unplugged has been widely used as an instrument for teaching the basic principles of Computer Science. This study presents the teaching contents developed for the children without any knowledge of binary numbers. which successfully guided them to understand the natural number binary system. The level of the pre-lesson for this learning requires counting numbers, matching numbers with cards, and arranging numbers. The activity-based learning is provided for describing natural numbers with the binary system and finding out them in everyday life. To check the adequacy of these materials on their organization and assessment they were tested at the classroom, which showed effective about the knowledge, the attitude and the generalization.

Algorithm education is emphasized as an instrument for teaching the basic principles of Computer Science. But these materials is very short-fall. We'll present the CS Unplugged-based algorithm contents, which is easy to learn for elementary student. These contents for self-directed learning consisted of the activity-based learning. For problem-solving algorithm learning in everyday life we were developed the hashing techniques on the basis of the basic searching and sorting algorithms. For checking the adequacy of these materials were tested by surveys of teacher professional groups, and we obtain the appropriate conclusions for sorting algorithm contents for improving the problem-solving ability for in elementary student.

Unplugged has been widely used as an instrument for teaching the basic principles of Computer Science. We'll present 'the binary system teaching contents for the characters' developed for the elementary. And they will successfully guide the student to understand the characters using in computer system. The activity-based learning is provided for describing characters with coding and decoding rules, and the using will be found out in everyday life. To check the adequacy of these materials they were tested to the elementary classroom, and the results showed effectively at Knowledge, Attitude, Generalization levels.

CS Unplugged education is emphasized as the component of the basic principles of Elementary SW education. This document produced by two other Timbell presents the contents in a variety of topics about computer science. One of the main components is the finite Automata, and this requires the development of educational materials for teaching our situation. So We'll present the finite Automata learning materials for elementary school classes. Learning model that we have presented is a process of self-directed and activity-based learning. For verification of this experiment was the validation of the expert group and was concluded that adequate through the analysis of the diagnostic tests.

Currently computer education has been emphasized improving thinking skill instead of practical education of applied software. There are various studies that are to teach algorithm with visualization learning materials or activitives-centered unplugged class. However, algorithm classes for elementary school have various difficulties. One of the reasons is insufficient learning materials and teaching methods. Therefore we designed a activities-centered algorithm class for elementary school students. We hope this study will contribute to the study of algorithm classes for improving kids' thinking skill.

Recent interest in software education has naturally led to interest in computer science. Computer science is the study of theory and principle of computer and computational systems. This knowledge and concept of computer science is fundamental to software education. Recently, "Computer Science (CS) Unplugged", which is an educational method for introducing students to concepts of computer science without using a computer, has been widely used in classes around the world. CS Unplugged is a method for learning the basic principles of computer science through diverse playing activities. The problem, however, is that these CS unplugged activities take place in class without an analysis of how closely they relate to the core subjects learned in real computer science. Therefore, in this study, we will study on the comparison between the core contents of computer science and the core contents of computer science contained in the various activities of CS Unplugged.

CS Unplugged education at the base of computer science is emphasized as an instrument for teaching the basic principles of elementary SW education, but these materials for elementary education are very lacking. So We'll present the data error detection and correction materials for elementary school classes. Based on previous studies related to this topic, we developed learning materials for elementary higher grade students using Hamming code. We introduces the card magic in the introduction part. 'error detection and correction' learning materials based on the principle of Hamming code, were composed as activity-based education. The results of the questionnaire survey showed that it had a positive effect on improving learners' understanding of computer science.

In this study, we compared the use of information and communications technology (ICT) by middle school teachers in Korea and other countries utilizing the teacher survey data of the IEA International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS) 2013. The ICILS target population consisted of all students in the eighth grade. We compared Korea with Australia, the Czech Republic, Norway, and Poland, which are nations showing the highest achievements in computer and information literacy. We selected nine questions from the teacher questionnaire and divided them into the categories of computer use, use of ICT for teaching and learning, and the ICT support environment in school. In comparison to their counterparts in other countries, Korean middle school science teachers used computers frequently and also had high ICT self-efficacy. They were confident in their ability to use computers for general tasks, but not in their ability to use computers for teaching and learning. The Korean teachers also had a high percentage of utilization of presentation and graphics software. Also, the proportion of activities concerning the information provided and teacher-led tasks was high, but the proportion of activities for student collaboration or peer interaction was low. In Korea, middle school science teachers had more negative than positive views of using ICT in teaching and learning. The teachers thought that computer-related resource support and digital learning materials were insufficient and that the computer model was outdated in schools. Therefore, we propose to build an ICT infrastructure and to develop and disseminate ICT teaching and learning methods for student activities.

현재 학교의 컴퓨터 교육이 소프트웨어 활용 측면에서 벗어나 컴퓨터과학 교육을 강화하는 쪽으로 방향을 전환하고 있다. 특히 2005년에 개정된 정보통신기술 운영지침에 따르면 초등학교에서부터 알고리즘을 학습 내용으로 다루도록 하였으며 이에 따라 초등학교 현장에서도 알고리즘을 쉽고 효과적으로 지도하기 위한 다양한 교육 방법 연구가 필요해졌다. 현재까지 초등학생 대상의 컴퓨터과학 교육 연구는 대부분 초등학교 고학년을 대상으로 구체적인 조작과 활동 중심으로 제한되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 정렬 수행 과정이 시뮬레이션되도록 제작한 애니메이션 컨텐츠를 통해 여러 알고리즘의 방법을 경험하도록 하는 ICT 기반의 알고리즘 교수-학습 과정을 설계하여 저학년에 적용하고 성취도와 학생들의 반응을 분석하였다.
