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.

Automation of programming-error detection is an important part of intelligent programming language tutoring systems. In this paper, a new programming error detection approach for novice programmers is proposed by plan matching and program execution. Program execution result is used to resolve the restricted programming plan representation and to provide a confirming evidence for the plan matching differences. By checking the values of shared variable between the related plans, we can detect the cause-effect relationship between the plans. With this relationship and the test data, we can explain the program's unexpected behaviors according to the bug's cause and resulting effects.

In this paper, we propose a python education program that applies computational thinking for non-majors and programming beginners. In this study, we focus on the basics of program logic, breaking away from the difficult grammar and memorization-oriented programming education. And by applying the problem-solving procedure of computational thinking, we propose an educational program that allows non-majors and programming beginners to learn programming easily. In this paper, an 8-week educational program was applied to middle school students with little text coding experience. and through a post-satisfaction survey, it was found that their confidence in programming increased, and they were able to apply computational thinking could be applied to life and other subjects. Although the importance of programming education is being emphasized, it is expected that it will be used as a useful educational program when composing program education for non-majors and beginners in programming for learners who still find it difficult to learn programming.

It is difficult for us to teach the introduction course of programming to beginners just starting their college life. What is particularly hard to do is to provide them with learning motivation so that the freshmen can be easily and rapidly adapted to programming work and to enhance their will to learn. In this paper, we suggest a method to apply LEGO Mindstorms robot to the introduction course of programming in purpose to allow programming beginners to be motivated and have higher will to learn so that they can receive programming education easily and joyfully. This paper attempts to find reasonable methods for improvement which can help programming beginners to be motivated and encouraged to learn in the course of C programming education and can facilitate learning effects as well, and conducts education using LEGO Mindstorms robot as a way to solve problems like students' low interest or will to learn. According to the result of providing the freshmen with the introduction course of C programming to which the suggested method was applied, it was found that their academic achievement in programming education enhanced through their increased motivation and will to learn programming. This result shows that students' interest, motivation, and will to learn the subject are statistically significant improvement through the course that employs LEGO Mindstorms robot.

최근 국내외에서 창의인재 양성을 위한 컴퓨터과학 교육을 강화하고 있다. 현재 대부분의 프로그래밍 언어는 국내 초보자들이 배우기에 여러 가지 진입 장벽이 존재한다. 그 중 대표적인 이유는 쉽게 흥미를 갖지 못한다는 것이다. micro:bit는 소프트웨어 교육을 위해 영국에서 2015년 개발한 ARM 기반의 임베디드 시스템이다. 내장된 LED 출력 등 다양한 기능과 개발 방식을 지원하여 프로그래밍을 배우는 초보자들의 흥미를 유발시키기 충분하다. 하지만 영어와 숫자만 LED에 출력되며 개발도구에서 한글 메뉴를 지원하지 않아서 국내 학생들이 사용하기에 매우 불편하다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해소하기 위해 micro:bit의 한글 LED 출력과 한글 프로그래밍 환경을 구성하였다. 테스트 결과 정상적으로 한글 프로그래밍 환경이 동작하며 한글 LED 출력이 수행됨을 확인하였다.

4차 산업혁명의 핵심 중 하나인 소프트웨어 교육에서 프로그래밍 교육은 필수적이다. 다양한 프로그래밍 언어 중 프로그래밍 입문자를 위해 적합한 언어를 선택하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 프로그래밍 입문을 위해 적합한 언어를 선택하기 위한 가이드를 제공하기 위해 2017학년도 1학기에 프로그래밍 입문 관련 교과목을 수강한 학생들을 대상으로 프로그래밍 언어에 대한 선호도를 조사하고 분석하여 언어 선택을 위한 가이드를 제안한다.

As the connection between objects and computers becomes easier, learning using physical computing is presented as a good alternative to solve the problems raised in programming education for beginners. In this paper, we propose a training method that can be applied to basic programming courses for beginners. To do this, we will proceed with a basic programming lecture based on the physical computing method. Currently, physical computing courses focus on various input sensor connection methods and output device control. However, the content of programming education using physical computing materials is lacking. In this paper, we proposed and tested a teaching method that is used in programming education by using low cost materials used in physical computing.

As the computer becomes pervasive in everyday life, the programming arises as an essential technique. To support the education of programming, Republic of Korea has launched a plan to develop the official courses of programming by 2018. However, the programming education in Korea tends to be difficult and the students easily lose their concentration since most of programming languages are based on English. This paper proposes a Korean programming language called Saesark to promote the effective programming education for Korean students. Saesark has been developed based on Java, which supports the object-oriented programming and the lambda expressions. In order to evaluate the educational suitability of Saesark, we compared it with other Korean programming languages in three respects: syntactic features, IDE support, and error messages in Korean. According to the comparison, Saesark is revealed more suitable than other languages. Specifically, the IDE features and the error messages in Korean are expected to be mostly valuable in educating novice programmers.

Programming novices have various difficulties when they learn C language for the first time. Novices have a large burden for understanding of a C language grammar, and have a tendency to focus on the grammar rather than problem solving. Moreover, it requires programming domains to arouse student's interest for software development. This paper presents a programming environment for C languages education focusing on a problem solving. To this end, this paper defines Tiny-VPL that is a simple visual programming language for NXT robot programming and presents robot programming environment using Tiny-VPL. This paper also presents an environment for NXT robot programming using Mini-C language which is a subset of C language. For the purpose of helping to understand the C syntax and semantics, the visual and interactive conversion system of Tiny-VPL to Mini-C is provided. Our programming environment can arouse student's interest through robot programming and can be used effectively for C language education focusing on problem solving with graphical and interactive conversion of the visual language Tiny-VPL to the textual language Mini-C.
