Even though the revised operational guide for ICT education emphasizes the basic concepts of computer science, many primary and secondary schools do not deal with the changed requirements properly. Also, it is doubtful if the education considers teaching period and the levels of students or not. In this paper, we survey on the state of ICT education, the relationship between ICT education and Computer Education, and the connectivity in Computer Education between primary and secondary schools. In order to do these, we analyze the result of our questionnaire and we propose an improved method for the connectivity in Computer Education. The results are (i) primary school teachers don't consider the connectivity of Computer Education and (ii) the teachers who have higher satisfaction levels of ICT education think ICT education and Computer Education between two schools are correlated and connected. As a result, new policies to re-educate teachers are required.

Computer Science Education has to be dynamically changed due to a change of information technology. This study aims to present the direction of development for computer science education according to compare a report of KEDI; Korean Educational Development Institute, twenty years ago with our latest investigation. In this research, nowadays the personal computer diffused at most home. Home is the main environment for students to use computer. Students demand new computing curricula and teaching method. The global tendency of computer science education focuses on the improvement of problem solving ability. According to our investigation, most students hope to learn the new computing skills through game-based learning. We present the unplugged teaching methods and simulation-based learning using EPL(Educational Program Langage). Of course it's important to be applied to school now. And it can be achieved just by national efforts alone.

With advancement of computer and network, world wide web(WWW) as medium of information communication is generalized in many fields. In educational aspect, applications of WWW as alternative media for class teaching or printed matter are increasing. In this article, we demonstrate a web based electronic text on the 'probability and statistics' which is one of six fields of mathematics in 7th curriculum. This text places importance on comprehension of concepts and fundamentals of probability and statistics as applied sciences and not on simple calculations of probability and statistics.

In 2021, AI basics were introduced in the high school curriculum. There are many worries that the problem of utilization-oriented education will be repeated with the introduction of artificial intelligence education rather than the principles that occurred when ICT was applied to education in the past. Most of the existing AI education platforms focus only on the use of AI. For artificial intelligence education of middle school students, there are difficulties in learning about the process by which artificial intelligence derives results and learning the principles of artificial intelligence algorithms. Recently, as the educational application of metaverse has become a hot topic, research has been started to improve learning achievement by arousing students' immersion and interest. This research developed educational game contents about decision tree algorithm using metaverse as educational contents that can be used in middle school AI education. By applying games to education, it was intended to increase students' interest and immersion in artificial intelligence, and to increase educational effectiveness. In this paper, the educational effectiveness, difficulty, and level of interest were analyzed for pre-service teachers regarding the developed game content. Based on this, a future principle-oriented artificial intelligence education method was suggested.

According to recent needs for 'smart learning', the concept of smart learning was reviewed by device, environmental, and theoretical approaches. The principle of smart learning includes three elements: First, rich instructional resources as learning contents. Second, participatory learning environments with interactions among teachers and learners as learning methods. Third, practical and realistic contexts as learning environments. Based on those characteristics, instructional designs for smart learning can be summed up as learning objectives, learning resources, instructional environments, instruction process design, instruction method development, implementation, and evaluation. As a conclusion, it is required to systematically develop instructional designs addressing specific learning settings to facilitate smart learning.

In order to measure students' fun and the effectiveness of teaching materials related to computer science theory, this paper conducted an experiment lesson against middle school students using Timbel's 'Unplugged' textbook. A preliminary test was conducted and it revealed that the students' understanding of computer science theory was extremely poor. The learner's fun for the experimental lesson showed the positive reaction in the viewpoint of expectation, engagement, endurability. In post-test after one month, the students were able to recall most of the materials covered during the experiment lesson. In addition, they all showed sign of good understanding. In conclusion, Timbel's textbook proved effective in increasing students' fun and learning ability related to computer science theory. Furthermore, this paper would like to suggest a new type of Informatics science teaching material that might be essential for future computer science education.

본 연구에서는 현재와 미래사회의 핵심역량이 될 컴퓨팅 사고력을 학생들에게 가르치기 위한 정보 교사의 교수내용지식에 어떠한 특성이 있는지를 탐구하였다. 이전의 컴퓨터 교과는 일상적인 컴퓨터 기능을 가르치는데 집중하여 교사의 교수내용지식도 기능 전수에 큰 목적을 두고 있었다. 새로이 개정된 정보 교과는 컴퓨터 과학의 원리와 개념에 대해 학생들이 이해할 수 있는 교육방법에 대한 지식을 가져야 하고, 소프트웨어의 활용 및 소프트웨어 제작에 대한 능력과 교육 방법 또한 함께 가지고 있어야 한다.

본 논문에서는 초등학교 정규교육과정에서 다루고 있는 로봇교육으로서 2011년 고시 초등학교 교육과정의 실과 교육과정 5-6학년의 (생활과 전기, 전자) 단원에서의 로봇교육과 교사 로봇 연구대회에서 발표한 로봇교육 지도안의 몇 가지 사례들을 살펴보고, 초등학교 교육과정에서 로봇교육이 어떠한 가치를 지니고, 어떠한 방향으로 이루어져야 하는지에 대한 프레임을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 위에서 언급한 사례들은 로봇의 작동 원리와 센서 등 공학적 측면을 강조하고 있다. 하지만 이것은 로봇교육이 지니는 다양한 장점 중 극히 일부분에 지나지 않는다. 주어진 매뉴얼을 통하여 수행되는 최소한의 공학적 이해 수준을 가리키는 것을 넘어 문제해결 및 알고리즘을 수행할 수 있는 물리적 객체로서의 인식의 전환이 필요하다. 또한 로봇이 정규교육과정 속에서 수행되기 어려운 한계점을 제시하고 이를 극복하기 위한 방안을 모색해보고자 한다.

This paper proposes an artificial intelligence convergence education program for teaching the main concept and principle of Support Vector Machines(SVM) at elementary schools. The developed program, based on Jeju's natural environment theme, explains the decision boundary and margin of SVM by vertical and parallel from 4th grade mathematics curriculum. As a result of applying the developed program to 3rd and 5th graders, most students intuitively inferred the location of the decision boundary. The overall performance accuracy and rate of reasonable inference of 5th graders were higher. However, in the self-evaluation of understanding, the average value was higher in the 3rd grade, contrary to the actual understanding. This was due to the fact that junior learners had a greater tendency to feel satisfaction and achievement. On the other hand, senior learners presented more meaningful post-class questions based on their motivation for further exploration. We would like to find effective ways for artificial intelligence convergence education for elementary school students.

In this paper, we analyze the course 'computer' on middle and high schools. and propose new organization of the course to enhance the ability of self-directed learning. We also develop a learning system for new organization, based on self-directed teaching and learning principles. The developed learning system makes students choose the topics according to their interest and advance learning by the schedule they set by themselves. To promote students' participation, the teacher also gives students various learning tasks. Through e-board and Q&A, we also accelerate mutual communication among teachers and students, to do teaching-learning activities vigorously.
