Learning by examples has proven to be an efficient method in mastering various subjects including programming languages. This study hypothesizes that the number of examples and the type of examples are two significant dimensions that influence the performance of learning programming languages by examples. A set of experiments was conducted to investigate the impacts of the two dimensions in the domain of JAVA programming. The results showed that providing two examples is more effective than providing only one example even though significantly more explanations are attached to the single example. Among the 'two-example' groups, the group that was given functionally similar examples performed better than those with functionally dissimilar examples. Explanations for these results are provided in this paper based on the behavioral patterns of individual subjects in terms of time and frequency. This paper concludes with the implications of the study results for the development of effective tutoring systems for programming languages.

In universities, programming language-based thinking and software education for non-majors are being implemented to cultivate creative and convergent talent capable of leading the digital convergence era in line with the Fourth Industrial Revolution. However, learners face difficulties in acquiring the unfamiliar syntax and programming languages. The purpose of this study is to propose a software education model to alleviate the challenges faced by non-major students during the learning process. By introducing algorithm techniques and diagram techniques based on programming language thinking and using the EZMKER kit as an instructional model, this study aims to overcome the lack of learning about programming languages and syntax. Consequently, a structured software education model has been designed and implemented as a top-down system learning model.

Recently, the discussion of domain-generality vs. domain-specificity of creativity has been continued. At this point in time, we need to research computer programming activities related to creativity again. While most of existing relative researches have performed TTCT figural tests for evaluating learners' creativity of learning education programming language, our perspective is that verbal creativity is needed on learning education programming language more. In this research, we have developed scratch programming learning based on CPS with the contents using fundamental concepts of computer science from the viewpoint of that programming is a kind of learning required verbal thinking style. This learning program was applied to 17 students of 4th and 5th grade for each 4 classes in 5 days, total 20 classes, this group passed normality test has the result of t-test has found that three subscales (fluency, flexibility and originality) and creativity index (mean of three standard scores) of verbal creativity were improved significantly using the mean of standard scores (100) of TTCT verbal tests as the test value.

"Problem-solving methods and procedures" sections in the 2009 revised informatics curriculum emphasized active use of algorithmic thinking to solve problems. And it is proposed to solve the various problems of real life using programming language for the implementation of the algorithm. Recently, various Educational Programming Language has been developed for elementary programming activity and many researches showed that students' cognitive burden was reduced in learning programming language with Educational Programming Languages. However implementation of the algorithm is difficult for novice programmer. For the reason, effective way is required for elementary students to connect design of the algorithm and implementation of the algorithm. Therefore, in this study propose the algorithm design worksheets that it is possible to create an algorithm to describe the content needed to implementation in programming education. And this study proved the effect of the algorithm design learning tools through experiment.

The purpose of this study is to develop the programming language teaching materials for the gifted of information with using the game. There are many curricula for teaching the information and technology to the gifted of information. There are not differences between these programs and the general IT curricula. The gifted of information has some complains about his curriculum(58/60, 96.67%). So this study developed the alternative programming language teaching materials for the gifted of information. This study concluded the effects of alternative materials for teaching programming language depend on learners' academic achievement about programming language with game activity. This study also looks forward to being able to indicate new direction to develop the teaching materials for the gifted of information.

현재 컴퓨터 응용프로그램을 개발하기 위해 많은 프로그래밍 언어가 존재한다. 사용자는 사용 목적에 따라 그에 맞는 새로운 프로그래밍 언어를 학습하고 사용한다. 그러나 프로그래밍 언어를 학습하고 사용하기 위해서는 많은 시간과 노력이 필요하기 때문에 사용자의 언어 학습의 비용과 시간을 줄이기 위해 두 언어간에 변환을 가능하게 해주는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 어휘 분석, 구문 분석 등의 여러 단계를 거치는 방법과는 다른 토큰 매핑 테이블과 XML로 기술한 변환 규칙을 통한 새로운 언어 변환을 위한 설계 방법을 제시함으로써 재사용성과 생산성을 높일 수 있는 것으로 기대된다.

Programming is emphasized in information(computer science) education course domestically and in foreign countries, and novices are given ample opportunities to experience programming. Programming error is a critical factor which makes it difficult to learn programming for novices. However, if they are given appropriate feedback, it can have positive influence on programming learning. In this paper, we design programming learning supporting system for novice through error feedback and provide some implementations for EPL 'Dolittle'. This system has four features as highlighting, guiding messages, object tree, and step-execution.

Even though studies on improvement of programming language teaching and learning have been made continuously and many education courseware for programming languages have been developed, computer programming learners' performance is relatively poor. Thus, in this paper, we designed and realized a web- based visual programming learning system by applying cognitive apprenticeship model to improve effect of computer programming education and then put this system into practice in class. As a result, we suggested that it can have positive influence upon learners' performance and their attitude.
