  • In this paper, we propose the development and application of a software education program for underachievers. The software education program for underachieving students was developed in consideration of the characteristics of learner's suffering from underachievement and the educational effects of software education, and is meaningful in that it proposes a plan to improve the learning gap in distance learning. Learners can acquire digital literacy and learning skills by solving structured tasks in the form of courseware, intelligent tutoring, debugging, and artificial intelligence learning models in educational programs. Based on the effects of software education, such as enhancing logical thinking ability and problem solving ability, this program provides opportunities to solve fusion tasks to underachievers. Based on this, it is expected that it can have a positive effect on the overall academic work.

  • This study aims to provide suggestions for software education in an afterschool program, deriving from the analysis of student experiences of working on Scratch team projects. This study reports on the implementation of the 12 week afterschool software education program in an elementary school, where students worked in pairs to learn Scratch programming from ideation to design and presentation. For an in-depth study of student-generated artifacts, we selected three groups' Scratch projects and conducted artifact-based interviews to unpack student experiences working on Scratch projects as a group. Adopting the computational thinking framework as an overarching analytical lens, we focused on examining student experiences from three dimensions of computational thinking (CT), namely, CT concepts, CT practices, and CT perspectives. The present study provides both theoretical and practical implications. Firstly, we demonstrate the feasibility of applying the CT framework for assessing student-generated artifacts in design-oriented software education. We also believe that this study provides important suggestions to future software education programs adopting CT as an overarching design and assessment framework.

  • In this study, the direction for hierarchical curriculum organization about software education in Korea was suggested in terms of overall execution of software education. The international case studies especially was conducted in order to suggest the propel educational programming language for level of students in the programming activity. In terms of the international case studies, the type of programming language was examined, which is suggested to each school level as a part of required regular curriculum. Then, the direction was supposed to suggest the instructional system organization of software education for Korea through the result of case studies. The results of case studies indicated that elementary school use the block based programming language, and text based programming languages are used from middle school.

  • Software education has started as a compulsary subject or part in elementary, middle and high school, but there is a limitation for using the physical computing toolkit and instructional guidelines that teacher can use. The purpose of this study is to propose a computing education program using a physical computing toolkit called the Micro:bit. The novel instructional model is called "MDIAP" which consists of five stages : Motivation, Demonstration, Imitation, Application, Presentation. Instructional process is presented in spiral, consisting of basic micro-bit sensors, and maker's learning using additional sensors and actuators. This study will help students to enhance creative computational thinking through the MDIAP instructional activities.

  • In the modern artificial intelligence society, the goal of education is to cultivate convergent talents who can adapt well to and lead the artificial intelligence society. The core competency required of convergent future talents is to be able to understand and create software well. In this respect, algorithmic education is very important. Therefore, in this study, an algorithm education program was developed to improve convergent thinking ability. The effectiveness was verified through the paired samples t-test by conducting a pre-post test of convergent thinking ability, and it was found that students' convergent thinking ability was significantly improved in the areas of algorithm knowledge and function.

  • 본 프로젝트는 ChatGPT와 카카오톡 채널 챗봇을 사용하여 초등학생 대상의 학교폭력 예방교육을 위한 대화형 챗봇을 개발한다. 이를 위해, 한림대학교 간호대학에서 제공받은 학교폭력 예방교육 자료를 기반으로 ChatGPT를 사용하여 데이터를 증강하였고, AWS RDS의 데이터베이스에 사용자의 예상 발화와 그에 대한 답변을 저장하였다. 그리고 AWS Lambda에 REST API를 구현하고, AWS API Gateway를 통해 카카오톡 채널 챗봇과 연결하였다. 사용자가 발화를 입력하면 발화를 포함한 요청이 AWS Lambda로 전달되고, ChatGPT를 사용해 답변을 생성하며 데이터베이스에 저장된 데이터와 코사인 유사도를 비교한다. 이때 기준치보다 유사도가 높다면 저장되어 있던 데이터를 반환하고, 낮다면 생성된 답변을 반환한다. 이후 반환된 답변을 카카오톡 채널 챗봇으로 전달해 사용자에게 출력한다.
