Teachers should actively maintain and improve their ICT competency in today's ever changing information society. A standardized system should now be developed to assist educators when choosing courses to improve their ICT competency. Previous ICT competency studies have only measured one's current ICT abilities rather than analyzing the skills necessary for educators to be successful in the educational system. This study developed an assessment tool to measure the ICT competency levels of CEOs who have the potential to be the decision makers in ICT education. In order to accomplish this, the jobs, duties, and tasks of educational CEOs were analyzed against the ICT Skills Standards for Teachers to determine which ICT skills are required by educational CEOs. Sixty-three questions were extracted from this analysis, guiding educational CEOs in the determination of their own ICT skills level.

Teaching computer and ICT skills in K-12 helps to bridge the digital divide of the students at the minimum cost, and provides them with a chance of getting a Quality of life as well as a Quality of work in the future. From examining the education policies of U.S., EU, Canada, and other countries, concerning computer education, several factors, including vision and national-level policy, Quality of manpower, needs for computer-related technology, structure of IT industry, overall demand for IT specialists, have been identified as those with major impacts on the curriculum of computer education. Based upon the analysis of domestic key factors, three levels of computer education program are suggested. At the most basic and least controversial level, basic ICT-skill program for effective learning needs to be provided for every student. Next level is concerned with improving the Quality of life and work. A program for introductory level of computer science can be provided as extra-curricular classes for bright and eager students, who might want to be computer expert or specialists.

In current computer education, we have inclined to emphasize information literacy for k-12 students. On the other hand, in spite that teachers are core variable in school education system, we have neglected teacher's education of information and communication technology. In addition, we haven't made a effort to expand preservice teacher's ability to utilize information and communication technology in the teacher's college and the college of education. With these recognitions, we made a diagnosis of problems by analysis of current condition of curriculum of the teacher's college and the college of education and explored the vision of ICT utilization education in k-12 computer education in this study. In addition, we suggested educational objectives and contents based on national requiring standards for ICT in teacher preparation, required ICT capability of preservice teachers for kind of teacher's task and the direction of computer education.

21세기는 정보화 사회로서 정보와 지식이 사회를 움직이는 원동력이며 국가 경쟁력의 기반이 되고 있다. 정부에서는 정보 통신 기술(ICT) 교육 지침을 정하여 2001학년도부터 초등학교, 중학교, 그리고 고등학교에서 정보 소양 교육과 각 교과별 교수 학습에 ICT기술을 10%이상 활용하도록 권장하고 있다. 따라서 일선학교에서는 이러한 정보 사회의 교육환경 변화와 요구에 부응하여 ICT활용 교육을 위한 교수 학습 지도안을 여러 가지 방법으로 작성하고 있으나 현재까지 web을 통한 학습지도안 작성은 매우 미흡한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 ICT활용 학습지도안을 시공간의 제약 없이 작성, 수정, 검색, 그리고 활용이 가능한 학습지도안 작성시스템을 web을 기반으로 설계하여 학습지도안의 공유 및 재활용 등을 용이하게 함으로써 지도안 작성시간을 대폭 줄일 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 학습지도안과 수업자료를 데이터베이스에 저장하여 데이터의 효율적인 관리와 검색이 가능하게 하였으며, 수업활동 종료 후 형성평가 문제의 출제 및 평가 결과가 계속 누적되어 앞으로의 개인별, 수준별 학습활동에 참고자료로 활용될 수 있도록 하였다. 학습자도 시공간의 제약 없이 학습지도안 검색이 가능하므로 학습자의 예습 복습을 용이하도록 하였다.

In this study, we compared the use of information and communications technology (ICT) by middle school teachers in Korea and other countries utilizing the teacher survey data of the IEA International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS) 2013. The ICILS target population consisted of all students in the eighth grade. We compared Korea with Australia, the Czech Republic, Norway, and Poland, which are nations showing the highest achievements in computer and information literacy. We selected nine questions from the teacher questionnaire and divided them into the categories of computer use, use of ICT for teaching and learning, and the ICT support environment in school. In comparison to their counterparts in other countries, Korean middle school science teachers used computers frequently and also had high ICT self-efficacy. They were confident in their ability to use computers for general tasks, but not in their ability to use computers for teaching and learning. The Korean teachers also had a high percentage of utilization of presentation and graphics software. Also, the proportion of activities concerning the information provided and teacher-led tasks was high, but the proportion of activities for student collaboration or peer interaction was low. In Korea, middle school science teachers had more negative than positive views of using ICT in teaching and learning. The teachers thought that computer-related resource support and digital learning materials were insufficient and that the computer model was outdated in schools. Therefore, we propose to build an ICT infrastructure and to develop and disseminate ICT teaching and learning methods for student activities.

The 7th curricula of computer education as a general subject for secondary schools in Korea has relatively stressed on the application softwares as a learning tools. Such approach might be very successful in terms of ICT literacy education, but it is not enough to teach fundamental concepts and principles of information technologies and computer science and it has also limitation to apply such knowledge to expand students' intellectual capabilities. Therefore, in this paper we first investigates the reason of introducing computer science principle education according to IT fluency and show appropriate direction of computer education curricula for secondary schools.

The study explored how two elementary school teachers perceived computational thinking, reflected them into curriculum revision, and taught them in the classroom during longitudinal professional developed program (PDP) for nine months. Computational thinking is a new direction in educational policy-making including science education; therefore we planned to investigate participating teachers' perception of computational thinking to provide their fundamental understandings. Nine meetings, lasting about two hours each, were held with the participating teachers and they developed 11 lesson plans for one unit each, as they formed new understandings about computational thinking. Data were collected through PDP program while two teachers started perceiving computational thinking, revising their curriculum, and implementing it into their class for nine months. The results were as follows; first, elementary school teachers' perception of computational thinking was that the definition of scientific literacy as the purpose of science education was extended, i.e., it refers to scientific literacy to prepare students to be creative problem solvers. Second, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) lessons were divided into two stages; concept formation stage where scientific thinking is emphasized, and concept application, where computational thinking is emphasized. Thirdly, computational thinking is a cognitive thinking process, and ICT (informational and communications technology) is a functional tool. Fourth, computational thinking components appear repeatedly and may not be sequential. Finally, STEAM education can be improved by utilizing computational thinking. Based on this study, we imply that STEAM education can be activated by computational thinking when teachers are equipped with competencies of understanding and implementing computational thinking within the systematic PDPs, which is very essential for newly policies.
