In order for education to be effective, it is necessary to properly evaluate the subjects. In order to increase the effectiveness of SW education, it is necessary to reconstruct the curriculum by analyzing the students' satisfaction with education and refluxing the results. Therefore, this study designed and developed the SW education satisfaction measurement tool to accurately measure students' satisfaction with SW education. The categories and items of satisfaction measurement tools were developed, validity was verified through expert verification and AHP analysis, and final items were selected through preliminary examination. Through this study, we developed a tool to measure the satisfaction of SW education, and it is expected that it can be helpful for meaningful education design.

In order to provide basic data necessary for developing a curriculum to enhance SW education for elementary school teacher students, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 1,260 students at G National University of Education. The results are summarized as follows. First, it is necessary to improve class time of SW education for the college students and revise the SW curriculum to improve SW education capacity for teacher students. Second, in the liberal arts course, it is necessary to develop the teaching and learning materials and the textbooks using various software. Third, in the major course, the Subject Pedagogy programs should be expanded rather than the subject content programs. Fourth, in the specialization course, the programming language education focusing on the Entry and EPL should be strengthened so that it can be linked with the elementary school curriculum. In addition, it is necessary to expand the choice of subjects for the students by reducing the number of required courses and increasing the number of elective courses.

This study is to analyze students' perception about junior SW education by giving the questionnaire to the participants in Scratch-day. We taught the creative computing to 558 juniors on Scratch-day in 2013, 2014 and researched the questionnaire about their perceptions of creative computing education. We analyzed the current status of SW education from this process and extracted considerations about elementary SW education. We also proposed the possibility of its application to the elementary and middle school education. As a result of this study, it is observed that students think that creative computing education is fun and useful, and want to apply it to the public school education. Also, male students think more positive than female students about an intention to use, and students who have experienced with Scratch education consider it more useful and positive intention to use than those who have not. According to the structural model, it is found that the pleasure, easy of use, and usefulness of creative computing education have a positive influence on students' perception that it should be applied to public school education.

In preparation for the adoption of software(SW) education in Korea by 2018, this study examined Korean teachers' perceptions and attitudes toward SW education and their relationship with teacher characteristics. By using the Stages of Concern Questionnaire, we conducted a survey of 92 teachers who participated in an introductory level of SW teacher training. The findings indicated that 1) the teachers' profile follows the typical nonuser pattern focusing on more self-concern, with the strongest intensity at Stage 0-Unconcerned and 1-Informational concern and the lowest at Stage 4-Consequence. However, teachers' stages of concern differed from the teachers' characteristics. Male teachers exhibited more concerns at Stage 4-Consequences, Stage 5-Collaboration, and Stage 6-Refocusing than female teachers. In addition, the teachers with higher SW proficiency, SW training experiences, and longer SW teaching experience showed higher intensity at Stage 4, 5, and 6 than their counterparts. The study suggests that the implementation of SW education would be effective and facilitated when teachers receive on-going and appropriate interventions and educational supports based on their individual concerns.

In this study, researchers developed the core teacher training program for elementary SW education. In order to develop the training program, the direction of training development was set, and the final version of the training was prepared through the pilot training. The main focus of the training program was to cultivate the teachers' ability to understand and apply SW education based on the national curriculum. After the program development, its effectiveness was analysed by applying it to the actual national training course. This training program was applied to the 2019 winter and summer teacher training courses organized by the Ministry of Education. To analyze the effectiveness of the training program, SW education teaching efficacy and satisfaction were surveyed. The results analysis found out the developed training program has positive effects on trained teachers.

With the development of artificial intelligence, a lot of platforms have emerged that enable anyone to easily access and learn about artificial intelligence or create artificial intelligence models. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed various artificial intelligence education platforms and developed and proposed a SW education class plan using a framework-based artificial intelligence education platform for activating artificial intelligence based SW education. The artificial intelligence-based SW education framework aims to cultivate artificial intelligence literacy on the basis of computational thinking. In addition, a learner-centered project class was formed to include elements that could be fused with real life contexts or other subjects. Using this, with the theme of creating an artificial intelligence program to help separate garbage collection, a six-hour project-based class was developed and proposed using practical arts, social studies, and creative experiential activities. This project class was organized using a platform that is not difficult, such as AI Oceans and Entry.

The educational environment, where the change to blended learning and AI convergence education through non-face-to-face is accelerating, is based on the cultivation of digital literacy. This study attempted to verify the effectiveness of future competencies by creating a collaborative SW education program on the metaverse platform that emerged by supplementing the problems through non-face-to-face. Twenty programs on how to design and create software were organized for small-scale elementary classes in the metaverse. In order to verify the effectiveness 4C competency tool presented as future educational competency was selected, and homogeneity test for the experimental group and t-test were conducted. The results showed the SW education programs based on metaverse was effective in improving collaborative communication skills, confirming the possibility of SW education through blended learning.

본 연구는 SW교육 기초연수를 수강하는 SW교육 초급교사의 SW교육 교수효능감을 측정하고, 그 현황을 파악하여 이를 바탕으로 수강자의 SW교육 교수효능감을 신장시킬 수 있는 연수를 기획 및 수행하는 기초자료를 마련하고자 수행되었다. 연구 결과 SW교육 기초연수에 참가한 교사의 SW교육 교수효능감 중에서 교사 자신의 교수능력에 대한 개인적 판단인 개인효능 영역에서 연령, SW교육 경험에 따라 큰 차이가 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 SW교육 기초연수에서 5년 미만의 저경력 또는 20년 이상의 고경력 교사와 SW교육 경험이 전혀 없는 교사의 개인효능을 향상할 수 있는 방법을 고민하고 이를 연수에 반영할 필요가 있다는 시사점을 도출하였다.

The purpose of this study is to design and apply cooperative learning using module cards for SW education for beginner and to analyze their effects and perceptions. Cooperative learning using 30 module cards consists of 3 activities and we applied it to elementary school students to verify the effectiveness of the learning. For the research analysis, we analyzed the pre-post motivation of SW education, the degree of satisfaction, interest level, and step recognition of the cooperative learning. As a result of the analysis, the learning motivation showed significant improvement in all areas of attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction. Students also found that the second stage of cooperative learning using module cards was the most interesting and the third was the most helpful.
