"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 algorithmic idea has been a kind of necessary mathematics quality for modern people in this information society. In China the algorithm was represented fully as one of the new mathematics contents in the secondary level for the first time when The Standards of Mathematics Curriculum for the Senior High School was promulgated in 2003, so the research about the teaching algorithm undoubtedly has its practical implications for mathematics education. In this paper, with the conceptual framework of The Mathematics Task Framework as the research tool, an algorithmic teaching case based on LOGO software was introduced in detail, and data by ways of observations, interviews and worksheets were collected, then the case was analyzed. The results showed that the teaching of algorithm is feasible and effective in the LOGO environment. Some beneficial implications about the instructional design of algorithm were also discussed.

프로그래밍 능력은 21세기 정보화 사회를 살아가는데 있어 인간이 컴퓨터를 활용하여 다양한 문제를 해결할 수 있도록 도움을 준다. 효과적인 프로그래밍 교육이 이루어지기 위해서는 학습자들에게 순차적 수행, 조건적 수행, 반복적 수행과 같은 기본적인 프로그래밍 개념을 습득하도록 할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 스도쿠 인공지능 프로그래밍 교육에서 프로그래밍의 기본 개념을 바탕으로 알고리즘을 설계하는 방법을 학습시키는 방안을 모색하기 위한 목적이 있다. 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 중학생 10명을 대상으로 실험 연구를 진행하였다. 연구 결과, 학습자는 연구자가 제안한 활동지가 알고리즘 설계 학습에 도움이 된 것으로 인식한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 프로그래밍 교육에서 초보 학습자가 이해하기 어려워하는 프로그래밍 개념을 학습하는데 도움이 되는 학습 방법을 제시하였다는데 의의가 있다.

The ability of problem-solving, communicating, and collaborating with computing technology is considered as core competencies for future society. In order to improve those competences, the algorithm and programming ability was set as the important goal of the Information curriculum of Korea. Algorithmic thinking is a key component of computing thinking, and it is known to play a very important role in designing and programming algorithms. It is used to set goals of Information curriculum and to measure student achievement. Therefore, in this study, developed a test to measure algorithmic thinking of students in elementary, middle and high schools, and applied the test to measure the levels of algorithmic thinking. As a result of the analysis, the higher the school level, the better the algorithmic thinking. And no difference was found between genders. This study is expected to provide a guide for constructing measures or setting the difficulty level for algorithmic thinking.
