In this paper, we propose to investigate the existing SW education related studies and to collect the total effect size for the improvement of computational thinking(CT) through meta-analysis and to confirm the effect size according to various variables. So, we have objectively identified and generalized the practical effects of SW education on the various variable. The results of the meta-analysis showed that 1) the overall effect of SW educational activities on CT improvement was 'Hedges' g=0.643', so SW educational activity can get a CT improvement of about 24% over other educational activities. 2) EPL is a SW teaching-learning method that greatly improves students' CT. 3) Since SW education can be guaranteed to improve CT among elementary school students and university students, essential SW education for these should be further promoted. And it was found that SW education activity were more effective for CT improvement in small cities & rural areas than big cities, but the cause was not identified, so further study will be required.

In Korea, software education is implemented from elementary school. As a representative software education tool for elementary schools, various chess games reconstructed based on the rules of Western chess games are being used. On the other hand, Yutnori, one of our traditional games, also includes elements of software education, so research on this is needed. Therefore, in this study, a Yutnori program based on computational thinking using an educational programming language, Entry, and a turtle robot was developed and its validity verified. As a result of the validity verification, the CVR value was higher than 0.7 in the degree of agreement with the subject achievement standard (3 questions), the appropriateness of learning materials (4 questions), and the possibility of class application (3 questions). Therefore, it could be judged that the learning program developed in this study has a high level of agreement with the subject achievement standards, appropriate learning materials, and high possibility of being applied to classes. In order to generalize this content in the future, the effectiveness will need to be verified, and experimental research will be needed to understand this.

There has been insufficient studies on the effect of programming language learning on logical thinking ability. Each study result on the improvement degree and items of logical thinking ability is different according to the object of the study, its method, and the learning subject, which makes the generalization process difficult. Moreover, the necessity of programming language learning seems not proved, because it is not apparent whether the improvement of logical thinking ability is due to the advancement of knowledge or programming language learning. In this study, we instructed educational programming languages to elementary students in 6th grade for 7 hours, investigated its effect on logical-thinking ability by the meta-cognition level, and compared the result with that of computer skill learning. As a result, for Dolittle, LOGO, and Powerpoint learning groups, the logical-thinking ability of high meta-cognition level students has increased with significance, but that of low meta-cognition level students has significantly increased for Dolittle and LOGO groups only. However, regardless of meta-cognition levels, there was no significant difference of logical-thinking ability between all three groups.

컴퓨터 교육에 있어 프로그래밍 교육은 그 중요성에도 불구하고 가르치고 배우는데 있어 많은 어려움 때문에 교육 현장에서 활발히 이루어지지 않고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해 최근에 다양한 EPL이 많이 개발되었으며 국내에도 소개되고 있다. 그 중 스크래치 프로그래밍은 객체지향기반의 언어로 배우기 쉽고 한글화가 되어 있기 때문에 최근 들어 프로그래밍 학습언어로 그 기반을 넓혀가고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 초등학생에게 적합한 스크래치 프로그래밍 학습 내용 설계 및 학습 절차와 방법은 살펴보았다. 이와 같은 연구가 초등프로그래밍교육이 활성화되는데 있어 도움이 되기를 기대한다.

초등학교 프로그래밍교육은 프로그래밍에 대한 기본적 원리의 이해를 돕고 학습자의 창의력, 논리적 사고력, 문제해결력 등의 고등 사고 능력을 향상시키는데 그 목적이 있다. 따라서 초등학교 프로그래밍교육에서는 멀티미디어요소를 사용하여 쉽게 프로그래밍 할 수 있는 교육용 프로그래밍언어를 활용하여 기본적인 프로그래밍 구조화 원리를 학습할 수 있도록 하여야한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 교육용 프로그래밍언어로 스크래치를 선정하고 교사의 교수학습 자료 제공 및 학생의 자기 주도적 학습형태가 이루어질 수 있는 동영상 학습사이트를 개발하고자 한다.

The revised 7th education course of information implies that students use variety of information devices to solve the common problems and it also includes the programming education for improving problem-solving abilities. Not only improving problem-solving abilities but also developing thinking skill is expected in programming education. However, traditional programming education is teacher-oriented and focused on language syntax. Accordingly, students have heavy cognitive load and it decrease students' interest of programming. Therefore, in this paper, a instructional method of programming using educational robot is proposed to improve interest of elementary students in concretive operation stage for effectiveness of programming education. Additionally, results of experiments show that proposed robot programming instructional method can be applied in elementary education.

Recently, the Internet of Things is attracting attention as an important key technology of the 4th Industrial Revolution, and SW education using physical computing is suggested as a good alternative to supplement the problems raised by beginners in programming education. Among the many teaching tools that can be used for physical computing education, MODI is a modular manufacturing tool that anyone can easily assemble like Lego. MODI is a teaching tool that can improve learners' achievement by linking a self-linked block-type code editor called MODI Studio to lay the foundation for programming in a relatively small amount of time and immediately check the results in person. In this paper, a physical computing education method using MODI was designed to be applied to basic programming courses for programming beginners and applied to after-school classes for middle school students. As a result, it was found that students' interest and satisfaction were much higher in physical computing classes using MODI than in text-based programming classes. It can be seen that physical computing education that allows beginners to see and feel the results in person is more effective than grammar-oriented text programming, and it can have a positive effect on improving basic programming skills by increasing students' participation.

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.
