This study is to analyze students' perception about junior SW education by giving the questionnaire to the participants in Scratch-day. We taught the creative computing to 558 juniors on Scratch-day in 2013, 2014 and researched the questionnaire about their perceptions of creative computing education. We analyzed the current status of SW education from this process and extracted considerations about elementary SW education. We also proposed the possibility of its application to the elementary and middle school education. As a result of this study, it is observed that students think that creative computing education is fun and useful, and want to apply it to the public school education. Also, male students think more positive than female students about an intention to use, and students who have experienced with Scratch education consider it more useful and positive intention to use than those who have not. According to the structural model, it is found that the pleasure, easy of use, and usefulness of creative computing education have a positive influence on students' perception that it should be applied to public school education.

The main purpose of this study is to search a new perspective of environmental education through investigating of alternative education. Environmental education is introduced by needs of society for an effective way of solving environmental problems. But it also has a meaningfulness which is internal need of education for proposing and fostering ecological human corresponds with crisis of modernism. In spite of excessive rhetoric, vision of formal environmental education is very negative. Formal environmental education is restricted to optional course. So, its potential isn't fulfil. Education is both part of the problem and the solution. Education is proclaimed at high level as the key to a more sustainable society and yet it daily plays a part in reproducing an unsustainable society. If environmental education is to fulfil its potential as an agent of environmental problem solution, it becomes both part of the ideal and the practice of education. In this point, alternative education is a model of what environmental education ought to be. Environmental education and alternative education have a common ground in end of education and critical position to the modern education system.

'Smoking, it gives my family pain', 'Let's quit smoking', and 'Let's drink moderately'. During the education period, booklets, wall charts, photographs, food models, videos, animated films, and demonstrations were utilized. Based on age, there were significant differences in the effects of 'I am curious about my body'(p<0.05), 'What is included in cigarettes?'(p<0.01), and 'Smoking, it gives my family pain'(p<0.05). There were also significant differences in 'Salt! I know what it is and eat it', 'Friends! Let's have breakfast.', 'My body is important.' and 'Let's quit smoking'. As a result, to improve food habits and health nutrition knowledge, health nutrition education programs must be presented to day care center children as well as their parents, and persistent education is necessary.

This study examines the influence of early English education on children's bilingual language development to see whether the early exposure to English education affects children's competencies of both English and Korean. Based on this purpose, it attempts to examine whether it supports additive or subtractive bilingualism. The competencies of both English and Korean of the children with early English education were, therefore, compared with those of the children without it, and the relation between the two competencies was also studied. For this research, two different groups of children - one with 48 children who attend English kindergarten and the other with 60 children who attend only Korean kindergarten - took PPVT-R in Korean and in English each. The result shows that children with early English education have more English competency than those without it. No significant differences, however, are found in Korean competency between the two groups. The relation between the two competencies proves positive in children with early English education. It can thus be concluded that the effect of early English education is partially positive on children's language development, which may support the additive bilingualism that children's second language can improve without losing their native language competency. In addition, this result will be able to provide for us the direction and the guideline to the policy of foreign language education and early education.

게임은 누구나 선호함에 틀림없는 IT가 가져다 준 훌륭한 놀이이다. 그러나 이러한 훌륭한 놀이가 교육적인 측면으로 조직적이고 체계적으로 구현되지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 여러 장르의 게임을 분석하여 교육에의 시사점을 찾고, 특히 게임을 만드는 것이 정보교육에 어떻게 효과적인지를 연구한다. 게임을 만드는 것은 그것을 직접하는 것보다 자기주도적 학습, 창의적 사고력과 과제 집착력을 향상시키는데 큰 도움을 줄 것이다. 게임을 만드는 활동을 기초로 정보교육 시스템을 설계하고자 한다.
