  • In this paper, we propose the policy direction of SW education in 2015 Revised National Curriculum with an analysis of pre-service elementary school principals' awareness and needs on SW education. One hundred two pre-service principals had been questioned about their acknowledge the importance and necessity of SW education and willingness to develop the better SW curriculums. In details, 1) it is necessary to change of starting time to initiate SW education in 3rd grade or 4th grade, which is younger than it was planned at the 2015 Revision National Curriculum, and change over to be the independent subject. 2) It is necessary to establish a system for selecting a specialized teacher, such as a dedicated teacher. 3) It is necessary to urgently be obtained of government budget for wireless Internet. These changes in the SW education policy would lead to the positive results from works by students and teachers.

  • Computer programming in computer education draws much attention recently. Encouraged by the increased tendency of acquiring logical ability and creativity through learning, various attempts have been made to develop them through learning computer programming in the area of computer education as well. The fact that a computer program is the representation of a computer algorithm expressed in a computer language makes us realize that the devise of a logical method for a solution - i.e., the design of an algorithm - is the key to the solution of a problem. Recognizing the importance of computer algorithm would lead us to such a point that systematic investigations for directional establishment for algorithm education are necessary. We observe that researches on teaching computer algorithm have concentrated mostly on specific problems such as sorting and searching, which can be characterized as problem-dependent and individual. In this paper, the idea of conceptual algorithm is stated from the standpoint of conceptual types of problem-solving methods which are considered as problem-independent and collective. A novice approach to algorithm education based on the characteristics of types of conceptual algorithms is proposed for the purpose of developing systematic, problem-independent, algorithmic problem-solving capabilities of learners, which is widely different from the current methods of individual and problem-dependent algorithm education.

  • The purpose of this study was to explore components of affective domains for teaching activities regarding computer education in elementary school. In addition, we investigated various influences on the components from teachers' responses. This paper included qualitative data collected from a total of thirteen teachers. Using qualitative analysis methods, we identified teachers' positive and negative emotions, attitudes, self-efficacy, expectations, interests, and internal and external motivations as well as various influences on the affective components. Therefore, we emphasize the importance of teachers' cognitive domains as well as affective domains to achieve the goals of the teaching of computer education. This study will contribute to research pertaining to the affective domains supporting successful teaching of computer education.

  • This study analyzed characteristics of computer education from the perspective of $21^{st}$ Century Skills and Computational thinking. $21^{st}$ Century Skills are essential skills for success in today's world. They include critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaboration. Computational thinking is a necessary ability in the age of convergence and a core concept of computer science education. This study first examined characteristics of $21^{st}$ Century Skills and Computational thinking. Then, it analyzed the relationship between these two skills and 'Informatics' curriculum. 'Informatics' is an elective course in K-12. The results of this study emphasized the importance and the necessity of computer education in the K-12 level.

  • By decreasing in CPU price and development of computer assembling technology, personal computer fake a good chance to accelerate its supply. Recently, as being introduced new computing technology so called multi media, teaming assist system which is based on single media such as studying book, cassette tape, video tape, or something else is rapidly being replaced by new assist education system based on multi media in which it is operated by the personal computer. In the computer assist education system, there is an evaluation module which appraise learner's study level into the next study strategy. At the view of this point, this part is very important. In this part, there are some factors like Importance, complexity, or difficulty which commonly include fuzzy factors in our surrounding. But until now, we are still out of the level to handle the evaluation module adequately among the some studies. In this study, we would like to suggest a new module that evaluate learning achievement of ICAI which have a variety of fuzzy environment. We combine Independent fuzzy environment like importance, complexity, difficulty into making total evaluation of learner's achievement. By the result, with expressing by linguistic form, this study can provide the theoretical basis in which we will be able to carry out sentence toward evaluation among elementary school.

  • As the importance of technology increases, so too does its use in various areas. In education, technology is often used. However, due to teachers' lack of knowledge about technology, they often remain at the level of simple utilization, without applying it to learning. Thus, there is a growing need for Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), which enables teachers to have knowledge about technology and use it appropriately given the content. Although TPACK studies are underway in many subjects, they suffer from the limited functionality of the included technology. To solve this problem, in this study, the range of technology in TPACK was extended to programming, and a TPACK-P model was developed to teach this expanded TPACK to pre-service teachers. To verify the effectiveness of this model, the TPACK-P training program developed during the 15th classes was applied to 19 pre-service teachers. We used Park and Kang (2014) as a tool to measure these teachers' TPACK before and after treatment to observe any changes. The results showed that the TPACK-P education program showed statistically significant improvement in all areas except Pedagogical Content Knowledge(PCK). Compared with the ICT-based TPACK training program, which was administered to a control group, the TPACK-P training program proved to be more effective in the development of Technological Pedagogical Knowledge(TPK) and TPACK among pre-service teachers.

  • The conception of the computer education should be paid attention to use, as it has meaning of the education using the computer and the education learning the computer. As a notion of the latter, the computer education points at survey of calculation and study which is related programing. Especially study of programing demands various understandings of external fields in programing like operating system and knowledge of hardware with complex courses like coding, compiling, debugging. Existing programming has set importance on mechanical memorizing and using programing grammar so that it has not been suitable for cultivating logical thoughts. So this paper intends to analyze simple game sources coded by C which is based of programing language to develop a fundamental insight.

  • To cope actively in the knowledge based society, we deepen a specialty territory and magnify this by applying Information Communications Technology(ICT) effectively. It needs the ability that it will be able to solve the problem from daily life effectively. Accordingly Ministry of Education & Resource Development of Korea make an effort for ICT application education. In spite of this effort, digital divide problem is serious socially and the computer subject is not adopted with formal subject from school. In this study, we analyzed the computer application ability gap and recognized the importance of computer education by analyzing the difference in computer application ability between the students who take a computer class and who do not take a class. Also by comparing the difference of computer application ability between the city and rural student, we tried to find a solution to reduce the regional disparity.
