This study investigates the effectiveness of computer programming with KODU on problem-solving abilities of elementary school students. Diverse tools were developed for novice programmers to become more easy and comfort in learning a computer programming. Among them, KODU has focused on facilitating the programming of various multimedia applications to create games, animations and music videos etc. It is expected that KODU will help elementary school students to improve their problem-solving abilities through creating their own games, animation, and music etc. In this paper, we developed the educational program using KODU for teaching the elementary school students. The developed programming course was offered at the 5th grade students of a elementary school in Seoul and a total of 27 elementary school students were participated in our programming courses. Most of the students stated that the course was interesting, and their problem-solving ablilities were improved after the course from March 2014 through May 2014.

Many researchers in the 21st century has found that robot education is effective to develop the learners' creativity and problem-solving ability. However, the robot education can only be applied to the students whose computer skills are high. Also it can be taught in the well-prepared computer classroom. Students have to learn machine language to control their robots, and robots are controlled by different types of software. Therefore this study has constructed command-based programming blocks to do a robot programming without computers. It also presents a prototype of the programming process and a technological method to combine the command and the programming blocks. We used the blocks which are similar with something in flow chart: to support intuition, and to help students transfer what they learned. And types of blocks and details are described for the Robot Programing Education. Combination of command blocks is made by RS-485 connection method and, it is designed to intercommunicate with connected blocks. It also presents a prototypes: of the programming process using designed command blocks, and of the possibility of Unplugged Robot Education System.

Data structure and algorithm are primary courses for computer programming instruction. However, now those are not interesting courses for students because the programming instruction methodologies that used these courses are not the proper methodologies for the visual and windows programming. The Sorting programming is the same as other data structures. Therefore, we developed the VTSPI (Visualization Tool for Sorting Programming Instruction) which is a software component to instruct sorting program effectively for solving these problems. As a result, students can code, understand and debug their programs because VTPSI is software components based on visual programming.

Block programming environment, which is represented by Scratch in elementary and middle school programming education, is suitable for learner's characteristics and cognitive level, and is recommended not only for beginners. Transference to the text programming environment after the block programming is essential for understanding the data processing process, understanding the accuracy and efficiency aspects of algorithms, and creating SW activity. In addition, it is presented step by step in the programming curriculum. In this study, developed WithBlock the online evaluation system for the purpose of transference from a block programming to a text programming environment. The developed system can solve the same algorithm problem in both block and text programming environment, and it can be used for elementary and secondary programming education by automatically scoring the written code and providing immediate feedback. In order to applicable to programming education in elementary and secondary surveyed the usability, learning possibility, interest and satisfaction of WithBlock. The results of the survey showed that it can be used for programming education.

A programming education has favorable influence on creative / logical thinking and problem solving ability of students. However, students typically have to spend too much effort in learning basic grammar and the usage model of programming languages, which negatively affect their eagerness in learning. In this respect, we proposed to apply the 'Scratch' using the Creative Problem Solving(CPS) Teaching Model; Scratch is an easy-to-learn and intuitive Educational Programming Language(EPL) that helps improving the problem solving ability of the class. Then we verified the effect of Scratch EPL through the design of both pretest and posttest for a subject group. In summary, the CPS based Scratch EPL was shown to significantly improve the problem solving ability and also help them develop favorable attitude in programming.

In this paper, we propose to understand the conceptual structure of programming elements that learners form during the prototyping theory. To do this, we reviewed previous studies on the meaning of conception and prototype theory and conducted a course of problem-solving programming for 33 university students who had no prior experience in programming, and collected transcription materials through conceptual metaphorical writing. The conclusions of this study are as follows: 1) Identifying the conceptual structure of learners as a conceptual metaphor can enhance the effectiveness of programming education. 2) Learners need to reinforce the experience of forming abstract attributes to form mature programming concepts. 3) The concept of programming differs in the structure of multi-level concepts that students, teachers, and professional programmers have in each group. 4) Programming elements should intentionally block misconception risks in the meaning of symbols. 5) Concept evaluation tools should be developed to check whether various attributes can be applied.

There is an increasing concern about computer education with the age of knowledge-based society. The learning programming language is taking an important role of computer education. However, the special emphasis in learning programming language has been attached to memorizing the programming language by rote and learning computer programs. Therefore, those were not much useful tools to develope a logical intelligence of the meanings of programming language and the methods of realization. It is positively necessary to improve the programming education efficiently because of the objects of knowledge of computing and raising an efficiency of problem solving. Under the circumstances, this research is aimed at representing an useful education model through developing a mathmatical program into each part of the C programming language, which would be a new supplier of an basic insight into the programming language and techniques. Accordingly it is thought that the research material will be an useful model to increase interests and concerns as well as to raise an efficiency of problem solving or a logical intelligence going through the process of studying programming language.
