In Computational thinking is emphasized as a basic learning ability to grow into a key talent in the digital society. There is much interest and discussion on computing education nationally, and the Korean government has also included education in the curriculum. As a result of these changes, the level of computer literacy that preliminary teachers need to be imporved, and the role of computational thinking as a leader in digital society is being emphasized by teachers. Therefore, it is necessary to have a curriculum that can understand computational thinking through various programming learning from preliminary teacher education curriculum. In this study, we designed and taught programming curriculum for non-majored preliminary teachers. Through the developed questionnarie, we analyzed the affect of programming education on the preliminary teacher's development of computational thinking ability.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to propose contents of a curriculum and training program for dental hygienists as medical professionals by surveying the opinions of clinical dental hygienists and dental hygiene professors. Methods: The subjects were 192 clinical dental hygienists and 193 dental hygiene professors. They answered questionnaires that consisted of grading each task based on its importance: a) for dental hygiene students to learn, b) to perform autonomously in clinical practice, and c) the expectancy of the task to change when dental hygienists become medical professionals. Data analysis was performed using an independent sample T test to capture differences between clinical dental hygienists and dental hygiene professors. The terms in the answers of open-ended questionnaires were extracted. We used R 3.5.0, R Recommender, and Wordcloud software packages. Results: Calculus removal had the highest scores for dental hygiene students to learn and expectancy to change when dental hygienists become medical professionals. Physiotherapy of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), planning, performing, and assessment of community oral health programs had the lowest scores in autonomy in clinical practice. The dental hygiene professors gave higher scores in most of the tasks for dental hygiene students to learn, autonomy in clinical practice, and expectancy to change, than did clinical dental hygienists. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), job ethics, and communication were the most frequently mentioned terms in the training as medical professionals program contents. Conclusions: In the future, it will be necessary to study the curriculum to improve the proficiency of dental hygienists as medical professionals.

Ministry of education recently announced to implement AI curriculum in elementary, middle school and highschool from 2025 which will include programing, basic AI principal and AI Ethics, and the media is releasing articles that have reservations on it. This study is focused on analyzing the perspective of elementary teachers - who are going to be in charge of AI education - on the implementation of AI education in elementary schools and the teachers are divided into two groups of 'software-experienced' and 'software-inexperienced' in relation to software training background. The results showed that 100% of the 'software-experienced' teachers agreed on implementing AI education and 80% of 'software-inexperienced' teachers also showed positive perspective on it. Among the reasons that 20% of 'software-inexperienced' teachers had negative perspective on AI education, it was highly rated that existing home economics subject covers fulfilling amount of software education. Both 'software-experienced' and 'software-inexperienced' teachers chose grade 5 and 6 as the most appropriate age for software education and considered one class per a week as the most appropriate amount of AI class. In terms of the subject format, 75% of the 'software-experienced' teachers chose the idea that software education has to be an independent school subject which will include AI education. Also, 54% of the 'software-inexperienced' teachers chose the ideas either AI education should be an independent subject or software education should be an independent subject which will include AI education. The preference of the content of AI education appeared in order of basic AI programing, principles of AI and AI Ethics.
