Countries that considered importance of the quality management of higher education are strengthening through various systems and methods. Field of computer science also, they have constantly made efforts, such as constituting standards of curriculum for the management of the quality of higher education. If we know the priorities of the knowledge area mentioned in the standard of curriculum of computer science, we can give implications to the composition of the content system. Therefore, we derive the ranking based on base on CS2013 the lesson time number of Tier 1, Tier 2, Elective, and detail areas for content elements. As a result, the knowledge area with the highest priority was Software Development Fundamentals. The knowledge area is recommended as a beginner course in CS2013 because it is a basic element. The priorities of these areas may provide implications for future elementary and secondary informatics curriculum, higher liberal arts informatics curriculum, Informatics curriculum of teacher training agency.

본 연구에서는 소프트웨어 교육에 대한 학교 관리자의 인식을 조사하였다. 소프트웨어 교육을 진행하고 있는 학교 관리자를 대상으로 소프트웨어 교육 운영 과정에서 느끼는 어려움을 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 학교 관리자는 소프트웨어 교육 운영 과정에서 컴퓨터 실습실이나 피지컬 컴퓨팅 같은 교구, 소프트웨어 교육 운영을 위한 예산에 어려움을 느끼고 있었다. 또한, 수업 전문성을 갖춘 교사가 부족한 것도 소프트웨어 교육 운영에 어려움으로 느끼고 있었다. 학생과 학부모의 인식은 소프트웨어 교육 운영에 미치는 영향은 높지 않았으나 학교급이 높아질수록 부정적인 인식이 증가하였다.

Computer education in France has begun in the 1960, and the education system covering elementary and middle school was completed in 2018. Since the industrialization of France, the research on the instructional method and system on computer science education had been conducted for over 60 years as a core skill to prepare for the future society. There are four major implications we have figured out in this study. First, each achievement goal to be achieved is set based on the hierarchy of school grades. Second, the full establishment of computer science education was completed in three years after the curriculum was announced in France. Third, the contents are presented to enhance problem solving ability through programming algorithms based on the balance between computer literacy and the concepts of computer science. Fourth, the contents of integrated computer science education is considered with in the lower grades of elementary school, and it is proposed to deepen understanding and programming of computer literacy and the concept of computer science as the grade and school level get higher.

The preceding study of this study developed puzzle-based computer science education programs to enhance the computational thinking of elementary school students over 1 to 3 times. The preceding study then applied such programs into the field, categorized the effects of education into CT creativity and CT cognitive ability to improve the education programs. Based on the results of these preceding studies, the hierarchical Bayesian inference modeling was performed using age and CT thinking ability as parameters. From the results, this study predicted the effectiveness of puzzle-based computer science education programs in middle and high schools and proposed major improvement areas and directions for puzzle-based computer science education programs that are to be deployed in the future throughout middle and high schools.

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.

This study analyzed characteristics of computer education from the perspective of $21^{st}$ Century Skills and Computational thinking. $21^{st}$ Century Skills are essential skills for success in today's world. They include critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaboration. Computational thinking is a necessary ability in the age of convergence and a core concept of computer science education. This study first examined characteristics of $21^{st}$ Century Skills and Computational thinking. Then, it analyzed the relationship between these two skills and 'Informatics' curriculum. 'Informatics' is an elective course in K-12. The results of this study emphasized the importance and the necessity of computer education in the K-12 level.

The purpose of this study was to investigate patterns of IT usage in gifted elementary students. There were 67 Computer Science gifted students and 38 Math/Science gifted students, a total of 105 students, who attended a Convergence Computer Science Camp for 3 days. They were given 20 questions on IT usage. The results showed that these gifted students started to use the computer from ages 7 to 9 (51.9%) and consider their level of usage as average (50.0%). They also expressed a desire to learn more to enhance learning. There were some differences between the Computer Science gifted students and Math/Science gifted students. The Computer Science gifted students spent more time at the computer, considered themselves as more capable in using the computer, and thought that the computer aided in learning more, Another difference is that Computer Science gifted students utilized the computer more for education and learning purposes(56.9%), whereas Math/Science gifted students used it for recreation purposes (40.5%). Furthermore, regarding areas of further interest, most Computer Science gifted students wanted to learn more about computer programming whereas Math/Science gifted students were more interested in learning presentation methods (26.3%). In conclusion, there was a difference between Computer Science gifted students and Math/Science gifted students in self-confidence, areas of utilization and computer related areas.
