Software education of 17 hours is essential in the elementary school in the 2015 revised curriculum. Unplugged is recommended as a teaching-learning method. Teachers should have a high level of PCK about Informatics Subject in order to utilize Unplugged. The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between PCK and possibility of teaching about Informatics Subject of elementary school teachers. For this purpose, 172 elementary school teachers were surveyed. The results of this study are as follows. First, elementary school teachers confirmed that the PCK level of informatics subject is low. Second, it was confirmed that there is a high correlation between PCK and possible of teaching. This study is meaningful that it suggested a method to increase the level of PCK about informatics subject of elementary school teachers.

The 2015 revised educational curricula focused on creative and convergent student education, so the importance of informatics education is arising along with emphases on its teaching and learning methods. This study has analyzed the research trend of teaching and learning methods and suggested their implications by selecting 179 studies of same keyword searching from 2000 to the present years and classifying them into 16 categories. This analysis showed that problem based learning was the most researched topic on these subjects, while unplugged learning, Creative Problem Solving model and peer teaching were among the actively studied topics. In the content domain of informatics curriculum, the problem solution and programming was most researched. This study is expected to suggest implications for not only studying informatics education research but also selecting teaching and learning methods in the field of class for teachers.

Recently, as the importance of computational thinking(CT) education, the national curriculums of the world have been revised and the international comparative assessment studies have been conducted to evaluate the CT education effects. In this study, researchers compared and analyzed the achievement standards related to CT in Korean and U.S. curriculum. As a result, the number of CT related achievement standards is 16 in Korean and 21 in American. While Korean deals with more specific achievement standards of 'formulating and analyzing problems', American emphasized 'planning and evaluating solutions'. In terms of 'developing algorithms, programs and interfaces', both of them offer concrete related achievement standards, U.S. curriculum include more diverse and concrete practical achievement statements. The results of this study can be used to suggest improvements in practical aspects as well as contents in future Korean curriculum revision.

With more emphasis on importance of software, many countries try to provide software education. Of course Korea includes informatics courses in 2015 revised curriculum, so that software education will be administered briskly in soon. However there are practical challenges including a lack of teaching hour in classes and the monotony of educational contents which occurs with that. To solve these problems, this research develop software education curriculum model that could be practically used for both middle and high school. First this study compare the curriculum of Korea to that of United States and United Kingdom. After analyzing the result, the curriculum model for middle and high school is developed. The curriculum model can be classified into three types, middle, high and advanced-high levels and include key concepts like collaboration and convergence, computational thinking, computing practice and programming, computers and communications devices, community, global, and ethical impacts. To assess the feasibility of our software education curriculum model, examination was made by expert group and a hearing was held by related researchers. Then the model was modified in a way that adjustable to Korea education system. This study provides some important guidances on designing a curriculum for software education at middle and high school. However, there still are difficulty adjusting to the elementary school and university course. To be able to further research, same kind of studies on elementary school and university course need to be done. Also, continuous modifications are required to reflect reality including technological advance, curriculum, and changes of education system.

To train convergence experts ICT infrastructure must be learned IoT use capabilities of things. In this paper, targeted to students that are majoring in computer science, and for the design of the curriculum and the educational model that handles education of operation in general for training IoT-related education for five months to experts of convergence training describe the contents. Course is the basic ability of the process, core competence course, is divided into real-life capability process and on-site training course, was constructed in a total of 10 stages of the process details. Curriculum, it was designed to learn sensing technology, network technology, security, and content production technology. This educational model is utilized for job creation human resource training project of 2015 Ministry of Employment and Labor, it demonstrated the utility to contribute in order to achieve a high completion and the employment rate. Applicable to future university education plans to expand the curriculum, including courses that complement the Java.

Textbook is a tool that helps achieve the learning objectives based on the content of the curriculum. The contents of the textbook will be constructed newly because revised curriculum 2015 was announced. The aim at this study is to provide an indication of the textbook writing. To achieve the objectives, we conducted a pilot study in order to analyze the content of the textbook of informatics currently being used in middle schools and to derive the direction of access to the newly configured physical computing unit. Analysis of content elements was used Romey. The pilot studied makes lesson harmonized with H/W and S/W by utilizing the robot. According to the results of the analysis, there is one textbook among the currently used textbooks that is suitable to help students develop their thinking and in the case of physical computing unit, inquiry instruction showed positive results. This study suggestions necessity of writing types that sets importance on activities in the form of textbook.

Problem solving by programming has a lot of influence on computational thinking improvement. Programming learning has been self-directed based on the individual's thoughts and principles. However, the revised informatics curriculum in 2015 puts importance on collaborative learning. Collaborative learning emphasizes results differently from cooperative learning, which emphasizes problem-solving processes. And cooperative learning leads to structured learning, such as role sharing and activity stages, within a small group, while collaborative learning leads to unstructured learning. Therefore, it is becoming more in collaborative learning that peer interaction can be affected by learners' cognitive style. In this paper, we propose the effect of cognitive style on problem solving ability in collaborative learning for problem solving by programming. As a result, collaborative learning was effective in improving problem solving ability and there was no significant difference in cognitive style.

With the announcement of the revised curriculum in September, 2015, the informatics for a secondary school was designated as compulsory, and Physical Computing section was included. With a leading school, the educational research using Arduino is currently underway, but there remain the problems to be solved to utilize Arduino in the revised curriculum. This study developed educational board which can make it possible for secondary learners to lessen the cognitive burden of hardware, and to experience the process of creation when they learn Physical computing. The characteristics of the board are as follows: First, keeping compatibility with Arduino. Second, provision of the most essential functions for creation. Third, miniaturization. This study composed the board to make it easier for a secondary learner to create. and thinks that it's necessary to continue the research on board development for diverse learners, and class application on the basis of this research.
