Training SW talent can have a positive impact on social development by increasing the competitiveness of our society in the era of The 4th Industrial Revolution. In order to train SW talent, this study analyzed 436 students in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade at B High School in S-si, Gyeonggi-do, how SW education is perceived by students, and how the timing of SW education affects students' SW-related career orientation. This study shows that the expansion of SW education in public education was necessary and groups which got an SW education since elementary school have higher career orientation related to SW than other groups. As a result, it could be inferred that getting SW education at an early stage had a positive impact on students' career orientation. Studies will be needed to analyze how SW education in the early stages works specifically on SW-related career orientation.

Rapid changes in modern society after the COVID-19 have highlighted artificial intelligence talent as a major influencing factor in determining national competitiveness. Accordingly, the Ministry of Education planned a large-scale SW·AI camp education project to develop the digital capabilities of 4th to 6th grade elementary school students and middle and high school students who are in a vacuum in artificial intelligence education. Therefore, this study aims to develop a camp-type SW·AI education program for students in grades 4-6 of elementary school so that students in grades 4-6 of elementary school can acquire basic knowledge in artificial intelligence. For this, the meaning of SW·AI education in elementary school is defined and SW·AI contents to be dealt with in elementary school are: understanding of SW AI, 'principle and application of SW AI', and 'social impact of SW AI' was set. In addition, an attempt was made to link the set elements of elementary school SW AI education and learning with related subjects and units of textbooks currently used in elementary schools. As for the program used for education, entry, a software coding learning tool based on block coding, is designed to strengthen software programming basic competency, and all programs are designed to be operated centered on experience and experience-oriented participants in consideration of the developmental characteristics of elementary school students. In order for SW·AI education to be organized and operated as a member of the regular curriculum, it is suggested that research based on the analysis of regular curriculum contents and in-depth analysis of SW·AI education contents is necessary.
