In this paper, I analyzed on the differnce of thinking for SW education of SW education research schools' students in 2016 according to background variables - school level, period of SW education and time of internet using. Also, I analyzed the corelation between student's thinking for SW education and background variables. As a result, I found the lower school level and the longer period of SW education, the more positive thinking for SW education is. Also, I found that when time of student's internet using are 1 hour or 2 hour, student's thinking for SW education is the most positive. But I confirmed that the period of SW education and time of student's internet using didn't give any influence to student's think for SW education. Based on result of analysis, I proposed necessities for research of method that method middle school student feel interesting on SW education and method that student keep interesting on long-term SW education.

SW which controls IoT devices using wireless communication technology must operate without errors. In order for IoT devices to be widely used, the technical skills of engineers who design such software must be improved. Compared to designing the input / output SW of a single device, the SW Flowchart design and Java SW programming process that clearly define various input / output relations between the transmitter and the receiver are complicated. In this paper, we proposed a SW Flowchart design method for controlling IoT devices based on wireless communication. In this process, it is explained that the entire control algorithm is implemented through a problem division process. In addition, we proposed an educational method for programming the designed SW Flowchart into Java SW using Microbits, which are educational IoT devices. In the course to which this education method was applied, the results of satisfaction evaluation of students were analyzed, and the effectiveness of the IoT device control SW education method using Microbits was analyzed.

According to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, SW education is emphasized around the world to educate student with new abilities. Following to these global trends, SW education has become mandatory in Korea's 2015 revised curriculum. However, Korean elementary SW education is focused on the use of block-based programming languages. In addition, the point of view of selecting goals and organizing content of SW Education, the affective domain is ignored and focused only on the cognitive and psychomotor domains. So, this study explored method of SW education using the concept of Team-Shared Mental Model for develop of community capacity and Python, which is textual programming language gaining popularity recently. As a result of performing the post test t-test on two groups with similar Team-Shared Mental Model formation, we found that it was effective in forming a Team-Shared Mental Model of the group applying the SW teaching method suggested in the study.

The activation of the latest ICT(Information and Communication Technology)education has been putting more importance on the education of the application SW(software). By the way, the geometric progression of knowledge and the fast development of computer technology have continuously created new SW. Accordingly, the previous traditional SW learning paradigm runs into various problems. This study starts from the recognition of such problems. In this study, the SW adaptability is defined as the ability that learners can efficiently find and apply the suitable functions of SW to those problems in the problematic circumstances as well as promote retention and metastasis. With these premises, this paper makes an inquiry into the teaching-learning method. Besides, This paper explores the SW usability and the principles of UI(User Interface) design and deduces the SW learning strategy. Furthermore, it probes problems of the SW teaching-learning of the demonstration practice method and proposes the inquiring master for SW adaptability teaching-learning model.

This study investigates the effect of play-based software education instruction strategy for improving computational thinking as a method of software education. The play-based instruction strategy is a teaching-learning strategy in which the presented code is navigated through play, and the functions are revised and newly reconstructed. We designed an education program with the play-based instruction strategy and applied the program to elementary students. In order to verify the effectiveness of the research, we examined the competence of computing thinking concept and computing thinking practice. As a result, the computing thinking concept and computational thinking practice were that the proposed teaching-learning model is higher than the direct teaching method.

In applying SW education for non-major undergraduates, we applied the physical computing lesson using Arduino. There is a case in which the basic problem-solving process teaching method based on the computational thinking was proposed in the physical computing class using Arduino. However, in educating computational thinking process, it is necessary to evaluate and educate understanding of SW structures. After understanding SW structures, it is correct SW education flow to make creative outputs by applying computational thinking process. However, there is a lack of examples of how to evaluate understanding of SW structures in the class using Arduino. In this paper, we proposed a one - semester curriculum for lectures on SW education using Arduino for non-majors. In addition, we proposed and analyzed the evaluation method of the understanding of SW structures and the evaluation problems developed in this course.

In the SW education of non-majors who encounter liberal arts education experience difficulties in the SW development environment and understanding they encounter for the first time, relevance to their major, and convergence thinking ability. In order to compensate for the difficulties of non-major learners in liberal arts education, a relatively easily accessible software was used to utilize a demonstration-oriented model that can be applied to beginners in SW education. In order to understand the logical flow of applications and problem solving used in real life, we proposed a convergence SW teaching method that combines repeated implementation through demonstration by the instructor and imitation of the learner, and learning indicators to increase the learning satisfaction and achievement of the learner. In the experiment applying the teaching and learning method proposed in this paper, meaningful results were shown when evaluating the learning effect, academic achievement, learning satisfaction, and teaching and learning method aspects of SW education.

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.

In this paper, we propose to investigate the existing SW education related studies and to collect the total effect size for the improvement of computational thinking(CT) through meta-analysis and to confirm the effect size according to various variables. So, we have objectively identified and generalized the practical effects of SW education on the various variable. The results of the meta-analysis showed that 1) the overall effect of SW educational activities on CT improvement was 'Hedges' g=0.643', so SW educational activity can get a CT improvement of about 24% over other educational activities. 2) EPL is a SW teaching-learning method that greatly improves students' CT. 3) Since SW education can be guaranteed to improve CT among elementary school students and university students, essential SW education for these should be further promoted. And it was found that SW education activity were more effective for CT improvement in small cities & rural areas than big cities, but the cause was not identified, so further study will be required.

In this study, the perceptions on SW education of K-12 students and teachers were surveyed and analyzed. At the primary school level, there was no significant difference in SW attitude based on school location. However, at the secondary level, students from metropolitan areas showed significantly higher SW attitude scores. In the case of gender, male students showed higher SW attitude scores both in primary and secondary schools. With regard to attitude differences based on prior experience of SW education, students with prior experience showed higher attitude scores in SW education in both primary and secondary schools. The awareness survey among teachers showed that both primary and secondary school teachers showed positive responses to SW education. For the successful induction of the SW education at K-12, four factors (participants, curriculum, teaching-learning method, and support from inside and outside of school) were highlighted.
