In the fourth industrial revolution, the government has established a policy to cultivate the creative convergent talent with software literacy in order to cultivate human resources leading the economy. Therefore, software education based on computational thinking is being adopted in liberal arts courses in universities. However it would be damaged the fundamental objectives for increasing computational thinking by a weighted stress of students to learn programming of software education. In this paper, we proposed a teaching method that can improve computing thinking through information literacy education which can be directly applied in practice as a way to reduce the burden on the programming learning of software education. Through this paper, it was found that information literacy education can improve the computing thinking as well as the computing ability by making it possible to construct enough knowledge, analysis and efficient procedures for problems.

The purpose of this study is to investigate teacher factors influencing ICT literacy in elementary and middle school students. For this purpose, ICT literacy was measured in 6,383 students in $4^{th}$, $5^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ graders, 337 teachers in 150 elementary schools, and 9,183 students in $1^{st}$, $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ graders, 337 teachers in 150 middle schools. Additionally, we conducted multiple regression analysis to explore teachers' influential factors. As a result, our finding indicated that the level of teachers' computer literacy had a positive effect on elementary students' ICT literacy(overall and 7 sub-domains) while ICT utilization during class and teachers' age had a negative effect on elementary students' ICT literacy(overall and 7 sub-domains). In addition, we found that major in ICT education and the level of teacher education had a positive effect on middle students' ICT literacy(overall and 7 sub-domains). Based on the results of this study, we suggested increasing hours in the teachers' professional development and the pre-service and in-service teacher education course and supporting or promoting the self-development of the information school teachers in middle schools.

In this paper, I analyzed the cause on difference of ICT literacy level according to region scale in elementary school. According to precedent research, ICT literacy score of elementary student in 2016 were higher in order of big city, small city and rural area. To find the cause of difference by region scale, I compared ICT literacy score and ICT use habit. As a result, The cause for this is that students in large areas have more chances to use computers at home, learn more with computers, and have more information (computer) education than students in small areas appear. Therefore, Based on the results of this study, I proposed methods to reduce the regional ICT literacy score difference. The methods are to provide computers for low-income students, to guide learning methods using computers at home, and to provide more computer education opportunities.

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a scale for measuring digital literacy by identifying the factors consisting of digital literacy and extracting items for each factor. Preliminary items for the Delphi study were developed through the analysis of previous literature and the deliberation of the research team. As a result of two rounds of the expert Delphi study, 65 items were selected for the main survey. The validation of the items was carried out in the process of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, reliability test, and criterion validity test using the data collected in the main survey. As a result, a 4-factor structure composed of 31 questions(factor 1: digital technology & data literacy- 9 questions, factor 2: digital content & media literacy- 8 questions, factor 3: digital communication & community literacy- 9 questions, factor 4: digital wellness literacy - 5 questions) was confirmed. Also, the goodness of fit indices of the model were found to be good and the result of reliability test revealed the scale had a very appropriate level of Cronbach's alpha(α=.956). In addition, a statistically significantly positive correlations(p<.001) were found between digital literacy and internet self-efficacy and between digital literacy and self-directed learning ability, which were predicted in the existing evidence, therefore the criterion validity of the developed scale was secured. Finally, practical and academic implications of the study are provided and future study and limitations of the study are discussed.
