As the importance of SW education increases, the necessity of SW gifted education is being required that early discovery of talented children in SW fields. In 2016, thirty SW gifted classes were set up for elementary and secondary school students and SW gifted education began. However, SW gifted education could not be carried out with consistency in detail because each class had different conditions such as selection methods of gifted students, curriculum and environment. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the situation of SW gifted classes in order to decrease the gap of the SW gifted class. In this research, all the SW gifted classes were investigated in the view of the curriculum, environment, student selection and contents through reviewing the installation-performance reports and on-site visits of all classes. Also, limitations and problems of the SW gifted classes were described and improvement methods were discussed.

This paper is a research on the curriculums of network and digital creation tools among SW education in order to apply them to SW curriculum in education fields. For doing so, a curriculum model was developed by extracting main key words through the analyses of domestic and foreign SW curriculum, and reorganization of concept understanding and learning activity elements was made so as to be fit to characteristics of each curriculum. And curriculums were remodeled by curriculum such like concept understanding was focussed in network, activities in digital creation tools and its validity was suggested through expert verification by composing contents elements based on the results. Also, this model was proposed so that each school could recompose it easily by combining contents elements of other curriculums. Therefore, the suggested model could be utilized as a basic research data in applying domestic SW curriculum standard model.

In this paper, to find out the direction of interest related to the SW education, SW education news data were gathered and its contents were analyzed. The topic analysis of SW education news was performed by collecting the data of July 23, 2013 to October 19, 2015. By analyzing the relationship among the most mentioned top 20 words with the web crawling using R, the result indicated that the 20 words are the closely relevant data as the thickness of the node size of the 20 words was balancing each other in the co-occurrence matrix graph focusing on the 'SW education' word. Moreover, our analysis revealed that the data were mainly composed of the topics about SW talent, SW support Program, SW educational mandate, SW camp, SW industry and the job creation. This could be used for big data analysis to find out the thoughts and interests of such people in the SW education.

This study aims to enhance the cultivation of SW·AI basic competencies of middle school students by forming and distributing SW·AI education programs for middle school students who form the basis of their lives. In addition, by planning SW·AI education programs in connection with the regular curriculum, it is intended to serve as a cornerstone for the public education of SW·AI education that will be implemented from 2025. To this end, the concept of SW and AI in middle school was first defined and a plan to link software/artificial intelligence learning factors to the regular curriculum was proposed, and based on this, SW·AI education programs for middle school students were prepared. Based on literature research, the understanding of artificial intelligence technology, the value of data, and the use of artificial intelligence technology in real life were set as SW·AI education contents, and educational programs were organized by linking them with the current middle school curriculum. All SW·AI education was organized in the form of practice rather than theory so that classes could be conducted centered on participants, and the purpose of the course was to cultivate the ability to use artificial intelligence technology in real life based on understanding artificial intelligence technology.

The importance of pre-service teachers' curriculum that can run K12 school SW education is raised. However, there is insufficient study on the standard of SW curriculum for pre-service teachers in domestic. In this study, we analyzed domestic and foreign cases based on four kinds of contents knowledge. Domestic cases were found to be concentrated on curriculum contents of education and teaching methods. Through the analysis of cases in domestic and abroad, we presented the content of SW education based on knowledge of teaching contents for preliminary teachers. The main contents are all four areas, and the curriculum contents and the teaching method are emphasized the most, and the SW subject education experts are asked for the feasibility study. The results of the questionnaire survey showed that although the validity and consensus exceeded the standard, the CVR value for the student management field was lower than the standard value.
