  • In this paper, we studied a design-based learning for Computational Thinking in Computational Literacy. The design-based learning for computational thinking in computational literacy education started from a MIT media laboratory in 2011. We revised the design-based learning and applied it to educational field. We considered educational strategies and derived the implications, after teaching fourth grade gifted students. Moreover we conducted and analyzed a questionnaire survey, observations and interviews. As the result, the design-based learning in computational literacy is effective for creative computational thinking that students create their ideas and make a meaningful artifacts from it. We expect that this study provides the basic data to apply a design-based learning for computational thinking to Computer education.

  • Cloud computing is a distributed computing model that has lot of drawbacks and faces difficulties. Many new innovative and emerging techniques take advantage of its features. In this paper, we explore the security threats to and Risk Assessments for cloud computing, attack mitigation frameworks, and the risk-based dynamic access control for cloud computing. Common security threats to cloud computing have been explored and these threats are addressed through acceptable measures via governance and effective risk management using a tailored Security Risk Approach. Most existing Threat and Risk Assessment (TRA) schemes for cloud services use a converse thinking approach to develop theoretical solutions for minimizing the risk of security breaches at a minimal cost. In our study, we propose an improved Attack-Defense Tree mechanism designated as iADTree, for solving the TRA problem in cloud computing environments.

  • Since arithmetic is the foundation of school mathematics, it needs to be taught meaningfully in the direction of improving arithmetical thinking levels of students beyond the fluency of computing skills. Therefore, in this study, the arithmetical thinking levels of 100 students in 5th grade were analyzed by applying the arithmetical thinking level test. As a result, 82 students were at 1st level and 15 students were at 2nd level of the arithmetical thinking. I analyzed the characteristics of arithmetical thinking and types of errors and misconceptions made by the students, and derived some didactical implications for arithmetic education in elementary school mathematics.

  • This paper presents direction for efficient software education. Due to the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the whole world is interested in software education. However, simply teaching how to code is not software education. The thinking abilities used in coding for software implementation are even more important. Therefore, computational thinking is getting great attention. Several institutions suggest factors for computational thinking and encourage to teach in a relevant way based on the suggestion. In this study, the verification of the factors they suggested was conducted through a questionnaire. The total of 419 freshman students of the College of Social Sciences who were taking "Computational Thinking and Software Coding" class participated in the survey at the beginning and the end of the semester. We first analyzed Wing's proposal that summarized the concept of computational thinking, and reviewed the proposal of ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) for defining computational thinking factors for coding education, also checked on the suggestion of Google for factors necessary for software coding. As a result of research analysis, this paper suggests a direction for efficient software education.

  • In this paper, we proposes a method to effectively evaluate learner competencies of computational thinking. Developed descriptive performance assessment tool is the use of assessment items presented in a creative computing MIT. This tool is selected and modified items through expert delphi technique. The performance assessment tool is composed of four areas that are an experimenting and iterating, testing and debugging, reusing and remixing and abstracting and modularizing. We apply to software classes for the pre-service teachers and conducted this descriptive performance assessment. Applying result of the assessment, the developed assessment tool shows the reliability $Cronbach-{\alpha}$ values higher than 0.6. In addition, the validity of the test results is higher in experts delphi test. Descriptive assessment tool suggested in this study are identified as a useful assessment tool to effectively measure student CT competencies.

  • The researches on the concept of justice and utilization for Computational Thinking with SW education are being actively discussed. However, a program has developed in conjunction with the actual elementary curriculum is not much. In this study, we have developed an educational program in applied mathematics based on CT. First, a separated view for a CT Application of mathematical concepts and objectives are set in three different application models. In order to achieve the CT-based math lessons, we also have developed a teaching and learning materials. We applied the developed materials in class, and to evaluate the satisfaction of learners. In addition to the validation of school application, we conducted a survey of professionals and teachers. The results of the analysis, the data showed that are helpful in the development of the student' CT ability as well as the ability to be helpful teaching and learning in school.

  • STEAM education has been introduced to resolve the existing problems of science education since 2011. However, as ICT develops rapidly, the future of the schools with various educational technologies is demanding for a new type of STEAM education. Therefore, the current research suggests CT-STEAM (Computational Thinking & STEAM) education, the new approach to provide integrated thinking based education with all sorts of computing devices. Firstly, the instruction model was developed as a fundamental step to introduce CT-STEAM in the real education scene. Then, lesson plan was developed as a implementation strategy, and it was tested for validity by computer education experts. It is hoped that the results of this study can enhance the understanding of CT and STEAM Education, also to provide baseline information to develop various teaching methods for integrated CT education.

  • In the newly revised curriculum, it is aimed to raise student who has creativity and convergence ability with computational thinking. Based on the analysis of revised curriculum including software education in elementary school, this study proposed educational program that can be applied in actual school field, considering various factors. This educational program using Bitbrick was conducted by 50 students in fifth grade that consist of 23 students in Seoul and 27 students in Gyeonggido during five weeks in 17 periods. The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of application of software education program in terms of computational thinking ability and problem solving ability. The effect was verified after comparing the result of pre-test and post-test through T-test. So, this study obtained improvement of computational thinking and problem solving ability.

  • The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of the design - oriented model (NDIS) for enhancing learner's computing thinking in SW education. NDIS is a project-based learning model in which learners find real-life problems, analyze their needs, and design and implement them. In order to verify the effectiveness of NDIS, we experimented with middle level G education university students who had previously experienced SW education class. The traditional project model was applied to the control group and the NDIS model based on CT was applied to the experimental group. The experimental group showed a higher CT narrative performance evaluation score than the comparative group, which showed a significant difference. In addition, students showed a positive perception of self-confidence and CT improvement in solving real-life problems using computing.
