Recently, a number of researches actively focus on the contents and sensitivity of information distributed through SNS as smartphones and SNS gained its popularity. In this paper, we collected online news data about SW education, extracted words after morphological analysis, and analyzed emotions of collected news data by calculating sentimental score of each news datum. Also, the accuracy of the calculated sentimental score was examined. As a result, the number of news related to 'SW education' in the collection period was about 189 per month, and the average of sentimental score was 0.7, which signifies the news related to 'SW education' was emotionally positive. We were positive about the importance of SW education and the policy implementation, but there were negative views on the specific method for the realization. That is, a lack of SW education environment and its education method, a problem related to improvement of SW developers and improvement of their labor conditions, and increase of private education in coding were the factors for the negative viewers.

The recent software education in middle schools is focused on physical computing, unplugged learning and pilot training. However, they are struggling in many ways, including cost, inducement of interest, motivation, and concentration. Also, the lack of systematic classroom design could make negative effect to students' understanding of classes or academic performance. In this paper, we intend to study the method of algorithm education using Chatbot system, which will increase efficiency of software education, with less burdensome in terms of cost, and also could be able to used as an assist tool in various classes. In class scenarios that require the understanding of coding mechanisms such as function application, algorithm design, and program coding, students can learn by themselves through the Chatbot system, which has a positive effect on student learning.

The purpose of this study is to suggest implications for early childhood SW·AI education considering the characteristics of early childhood education through a survey on SW·AI education in kindergartens. For this study, data were collected from 194 kindergartens through convenience sampling. The data was analyzed using frequency distribution, and it was found that 44% of kindergartens are conducting SW·AI education. 22% are conducting SW·AI education in the form of regular curriculum, and 70% are conducting SW·AI education in the form of special activities after school. SW·AI education was found to be conducted mainly by external instructors (97%) in the classroom (80%). For SW·AI education, block coding-based programs developed by companies such as Naver and the Clova were used, and all of these programs used programs and teaching aids in a package format, including teaching aids and materials developed by companies. 56% answered that they are not currently conducting SW/AI education, and lack of awareness on SW·AI education and lack of human/environmental infrastructure were the main factors. In order to realize SW·AI education considering the characteristics of early childhood education based on this survey, First, SW·AI education programs should be developed to develop play-centered computational thinking skills. Second, systematic teacher education at the national level should be conducted. Finally, the establishment of a department dedicated to early childhood SW·AI consisting of early childhood education experts and SW·AI education experts and financial support at the national level should be provided.
