Block-based educational programming language(EPL) is commonly used due to its availability at low or no cost. It is also preferred tool of computing education due to its intuitive design, ease-of-use and its effectiveness in increasing algorithmic thinking abilities especially in elementary students. Physical computing is also necessary because it brings students closer to real-world problem solving by connecting the real world with the computing environment. However, due to high-cost and required knowledge in electrical engineering, many schools find the education difficult to access. The study shows significant increase in computational thinking abilities in both groups treated with EPL and additional physical computing education.

Software education has started as a compulsary subject or part in elementary, middle and high school, but there is a limitation for using the physical computing toolkit and instructional guidelines that teacher can use. The purpose of this study is to propose a computing education program using a physical computing toolkit called the Micro:bit. The novel instructional model is called "MDIAP" which consists of five stages : Motivation, Demonstration, Imitation, Application, Presentation. Instructional process is presented in spiral, consisting of basic micro-bit sensors, and maker's learning using additional sensors and actuators. This study will help students to enhance creative computational thinking through the MDIAP instructional activities.

Data is the core of AI technology. With the development of technology, AI technology is also accelerating as the amount of data increases explosively than before. However, compared to the interest in AI education, research on data education with AI is still insufficient. According to the case analysis of exsisting AI data education, there were cases of educating the process and part of data science, but it was hard to find studies related to data collection. Cause physical computing tools have a positive effect on AI education for elementary school students, data collection cases using tools were studied, but researches related to data collection were rare. Therefore, in this study, an efficient data collection method using physical tools was designed. A structural diagram of a data collection program was created using COBL S, a modular physical computing teaching tool, and examples of program screens from the service side and the user side were configured. This study has limitations in that the establishment of an AI education platform that can be used in conjunction with future program production and programs should be prioritized as a proposal in terms of design.

The purpose of this study is to design and develop of digital contents to improve computational thinking in the online education environment. First, we planned the design and development of contents with 19 experts of Software education. Digital content was designed from the point of view of improving the educational quality and the quality of contents for the improve of computing thinking. The content type is classified into the SW education area; computer science, programming, physical computing, convergent computing, computing thinking, and software education that improves the computing thinking. And we designed 45 learning programs for each SW education area. Designed learning contents were developed in 464 lessons to suit the online education environment. The content validity of the proposed content was verified by the expert group and the average CVI value was over .83. Through this, we could analyze that the developed contents will help learners to expand their computing thinking.

The artificial intelligence, robot technology, Internet of things, and life sciences that create added value while dramatically transforming human life have been highlighted in the fourth industrial revolution, the next industrial revolution. In order to adapt to the 4th industry, it is necessary to educate students to develop fusion thinking and computing thinking ability. Therefore, in this study, we developed a digital Yut Playing system based on physical computing, reflecting STEAM and decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm design, which are components of computing thinking. By experiencing the developed system and applying it to education, it raised interest and interest in programming education and improved programming lesson for fusion thinking and computing thinking ability.

By PISA 2007, TIMSS 2011, Korean high school students had high academic achievement to science and mathematics, while they had low attitude. Prospective college students are increasingly avoiding natural science and engineering. Moreover, the opportunities to learn to computer science in middle and high school are disappeared rapidly. The necessity of STEAM program based on Physical computing arise under these situation. Therefore, we developed STEAM program and studied the effects of the program in 2012. The result showed that students' scientific interests and attitude, scientific problem solving ability, scientific creative problem solving ability, personality test for children, and satisfaction of school life were enhanced. This study is follow-up study for the same students who improved every domain of the measurements. They were administerd pre-test at start of 2012, post-test at end of 2012, and delayed post-test at the end of 2013, on same test. The result of the study showed that only attitude to Scientific Inquiry was enhanced, but there was no significant result on the other domain of the test in comparison with start of 2012. But this result demonstrate the effect of STEAM education conversely.

With the announcement of the revised curriculum in September, 2015, the informatics for a secondary school was designated as compulsory, and Physical Computing section was included. With a leading school, the educational research using Arduino is currently underway, but there remain the problems to be solved to utilize Arduino in the revised curriculum. This study developed educational board which can make it possible for secondary learners to lessen the cognitive burden of hardware, and to experience the process of creation when they learn Physical computing. The characteristics of the board are as follows: First, keeping compatibility with Arduino. Second, provision of the most essential functions for creation. Third, miniaturization. This study composed the board to make it easier for a secondary learner to create. and thinks that it's necessary to continue the research on board development for diverse learners, and class application on the basis of this research.

In this study, we derive the important environmental elements for developing physical computing game. Environmental elements are selected based on the analysis of the physical computing environment in the area including physical computing itself, existing physical computing games, digital art, and information education. The derived elements are verified by Delphi's investigation methodology. The 27 factors are chosen in terms of development environment, development case, and development service. Among them the environmental aspects of physical computing are ranked as the highest importance.

This study we developed teaching and learning strategy applying PBL based physical computing programming using reflection journal and feedback, and verified its effectiveness. For the analysis, the survey with 18 sections study contents was performed for 6 weeks by dividing 91 students in 5th grade of elementary school into experimental group and control group respectively. As a result, this study proved that the students who made the structured reflections journals and receiving the feedback at the same time showed the improvement in logical thinking ability in the physical computing based programming learning situation with PBL applied. Based on the results of this study, the sophisticated teaching and learning strategy that can enhance the programming learning effect based on physical computing was developed and its applicability was proved.
