Strengthening self-directed learning ability is established as one of the goals of gifted education in Korea. In addition, it should be noted that self-directed learning can be realized in variety of ways as favorable conditions and environments are fostered to provide gifted education utilizing program. in the recent days. But, gifted learning programs for programming are programmed for information gifted student. Therefore, we have analyzed in this study the effects of improvement on self-directed learning ability of mathematically gifted student through class utilizing app inventor program for self-directed learning ability. Built up from the 4th and 5th grade to elementary math one class for gifted children complete by making math quiz, we use the app inventor to activity. The result of experiment showed very significant difference in the post-survey to less than .002 in the pre-survey in terms of three domains, which are intrinsic motivation, the openness of learning opportunities and autonomy which corresponds to sub-elements of self-directed learning ability. We could verify from the result of the study that mathematically gifted student learning program utilizing app development activity have positive effects on self-directed learning ability of mathematically gifted students.

We live in the modern society which is called as Knowledge-Information society. The national and social goal is to raise the creative person for preparing the rapidly changing society. Thus, the schools and families concentrate on and effort to enhance the creativity and problem solving ability. Specially, the school is pushing forward the STEAM education and Software education for raising the creativity person and enhancement of national competitiveness. In this study, we suggested for STEAM education the way how we utilize the App Inventor which was supported by MIT and came up as a computer programming language for Software education, and we verified and evaluated through professional group verification. We completed STEAM instructional design according to the results from the professional group verification, and we suggested the authentic instruction for STEAM education. In addition, we suggested the further prospects of Software education and instructions through going through the characteristics and application plan of App Inventer in terms of educational computer programming language.

본 논문에서는 MIT에서 개발한 앱인벤터 2 서버를 자체적으로 구축하여 서비스를 제공하고, 자체 서버에서 안드로이드 앱을 개발하는 과정을 분석한다. 앱인벤터 2는 프로그래밍 언어를 배우지 않은 사람도 원하는 기능의 스마트폰의 앱을 개발할 수 있는 공개 소프트웨어로 초증등 학생들의 창의 및 논리적 사고 형성에 많은 도움을 주고 있는 교육적이면서 기능적으로 확장성이 뛰어난 전 세계적인 도구이다. 하지만 지금 사용되고 있는 앱 인벤터 2 는 MIT 사이트에 접속하여야 하며, 구글 크롬 브라우저에서 작동이 되고, 구글 메일 ID를 생성해 로그인을 해야 함으로, 만 14세 미만은 사용할 수가 없다. 이러한 앱인벤터 2를 자체적인 서버로 구축하여 로컬 서비스를 함으로써 이러한 단점을 보완한다.

According to the rapid growth and popularization of the SMART device, the society is being changed greatly and importance of SW education is being emphasized. Also many student have a lot of interests about mobile application programming. The latest study suggests using the robots in the programming education may help to induce learners' interest and motivation, participation, achievement. So in this research, I designed a programming educational plan for SW education using robot and mobile application development tool(App Inventor) and applied them. And I conducted a survey four ares such as class, robot, App Inventor, robot and App Inventor. As a result, learner's response of interest and satisfaction was very positive commonly at four areas. In particular, learners could get programming result immediately using smart phone and could control the robot using smart phone, so learner's interest had increased especially. The conclusion is that suggested plan for SW education using robot and mobile application development tool is useful for programming education.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Android application programming education to control Arduino using App Inventor on industrial high school students' creative and integrative thinking ability. We developed an instructional content based on integrative learning and creative problem-solving model and taught a class on it. The result of this study showed that there was a significant improvement in divergent thinking and motivation items among the sub elements of creative problem solving. In addition, students' survey on the integrated thinking has shown that many students think that they could design an IoT system applied to everyday life based on the knowledge they have learned in this class. Therefore, it can be confirmed that physical computing education using App Inventor and Arduino has a positive effect on students' creative and integrative thinking ability.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Data Science Education classes using PBL-based App Inventor on elementary student Computational Thinking and Creativity. Based on the results of the pre-requisite analysis by Rossett's demand analysis model, PBL-based Data Science Education class was designed according to the procedure of ADDIE model which is 42 hours of classroom instruction for elementary student. As a result of the Paired t-test, it was proved that the Computational Thinking was statistically significantly improved in the post-test. In addition, as a result of the Paired t-test and Wilcoxon's signed rank test, it was found that the sub-factors of Creativity were 'Originality', 'Fluency', 'Closure', 'Average', and 'Index'. Therefore, it was confirmed that the PBL-based Data Science Education class using App Inventor is effective in improving Computational Thinking and Creativity of elementary student.

Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how healthcare is delivered worldwide and has affected the environment of the healthcare. Physical therapy in traditional healthcare systems can be difficult in unusual circumstances, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Tele-physical therapy, defined as "the delivery of the physical therapy at a distance using electronic information and telecommunication technologies," will be a solution for this healthcare crisis. Thus, in this study, we proposed a mobile application for tele-physical therapy. Methods: This study used the Chrome Browser version 83.0.4 based on the Windows 10 64Bit operating system to use the App Inventor. To operate the mobile application, we used the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. The design of the mobile application was based on the review of a system used in the physical therapy department. Results: The graphical user interface (GUI) of the mobile application was displayed on three screens: selecting a painful joint (1st screen of the GUI); selecting a painful movement of the joint (2nd screen of the GUI); a self-manual therapy method and movie (3rd screen of the GUI). The proposed mobile application showed the stable repeatability of the self-manual therapy movie. Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated that the proposed mobile application using the App Inventor for android will be able to create easy to use and reliable tele-physical therapy.

Many people are showing interest on computing and computer programming ever as much as the smartphone become more popular. Computer programming languages, however, like Java or C++ being used to teach freshmen in computer science-related majors as the first programming language they will study are so difficult to understand. In this paper, we proposed a short-term curriculum for teaching computer programming using App Inventor for Android to freshmen students major in computer science as the first programming language they will study, which can encourage their interest in computer programming. According to survey from students participated in actual teaching, we found that the proposed curriculum can contribute to increase their interest on computer programming and even self-confidence on development of applications for smarphone.
