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 analyzes students' motivation for learning when applying SW-STEAM education using Flipped Learning. As a main content of the study, we developed a program that combines SW education with existing subjects and utilized flipped learning as a method. Elementary school students were given an education program. The data were collected through pre and post-test of learning motivation. As a result of analysis, the SW-STEAM program based on flipped learning has improved attention, relevance and confidence. We expect that the results of the SW-STEAM education program developed in this study and the learning motivation analysis will help in the direction of the SW-STEAM education and be useful as a basic resources for settling in class.

4차 산업혁명이 도래하여 사회 전반에서 혁신적인 변화가 일어났다. 이에 따라 2022 개정 교육과정에서는 미래 사회가 요구하는 소양 및 역량 강화를 위하여 인공지능(Artificial Intelligence, AI)·소프트웨어(Software, SW)교육을 비롯한 디지털 기초 소양을 강화하는 것을 개정의 중점으로 설정하였다. 이처럼 SW교육은 정보 관련 교과를 비롯한 타 교과에서도 중요하며 따라서 비 정보과 교사도 SW관련 교육 내용을 이해해야 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 비 정보과 교사에게 SW연수를 실시하였고, SW교육 수업 전문성의 변화를 살펴보았다. 그 결과 사전 검사에 비해 사후 검사 결과에서 통계적으로 유의한 상승을 확인하였다. 이는 SW연수가 비 정보과 교사의 SW교육 수업 전문성 함양에 긍정적인 영향을 준다는 것을 의미한다. 그러나 본 연구는 단일집단으로 이루어진 실험을 설계하여 실시하였으므로, 이러한 변화가 처치로 인한 것인지 확인할 수 없다는 한계점이 있다. 그러므로 통제 집단 및 실험 집단 선별 과정을 거친 후속 연구 설계가 요구된다.

In this study, we conduct SW education using robot in elementary school, to examine the effects of SW education using robot on CT and gender differences. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, SW education using robot was conducted to 143 students in 5, 6 grade in GyeongGi. After collecting data, we examined mean difference using matched pair t-test and ANCOVA. The results of this study were as follows: The SW education using robot is associated with significant improvements in CT, however, computational concepts is not associated with significant improvement in high initial score sub sample. And CT is not associated with gender. This study was investigated effects of the SW education using robot and identify gender differences. And expanded the understanding of the SW education using robot.

The 2015 revised curriculum aims to cultivate creative convergence talent. In this regard, SW education needs to study various convergence education methods to enhance computational thinking. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of SW convergence education centered on reading education and robot utilization education to improve computing thinking ability. For this purpose, SW education teaching and learning was designed by combining SW education using card coding-based robots with reading education based on interactive works and reading on the whole work. As a result, the convergence education between reading and SW improved all three areas of the concept, practice, and perspective of computational thinking ability and increased the learner's satisfaction.

SNS data was collected and analyzed by topic modeling techniques to examine recent trends in information education. By deriving keywords and topics for SW education and AI education, we not only attempted to discover insights ahead of the next revised curriculum but also suggested directions. According to the SNS data analysis, the contents of human resource development for software and the instructional method in schools are indicated as a high requirement. Meanwhile, SW education should be conducted through a separate curriculum from elementary school, and this was consistent with the opinion that it is necessary to be organized as a required subject. There was an opinion to support the schools since AI education is newly introduced in next revised national curriculum. The trends in SW education and AI education which are observed through SNS data analysis could be concluded to conduct the substantial operation of information education and curriculum organization.

The Ministry of Education announced plans to introduce SW education to elementary and secondary schools in the 2015 curriculum. However, if we examine major foreign countries where SW education strongly implemented it is found that they stress not only coding education but also real life SW education. Especially they emphasized convergence with other different fields. Therefore, it can be concluded SW education in Korea should be differentiated based on levels of students. For the common basic curriculum, it is needed basic concepts and thinking skills of SW development, but for the enriched curriculum, it should be emphasized SW development education that can be applied to real life experiences and other difference fields as well. Therefore, it is necessary to plan SW intensive education to develop programs for the enriched program. In this study, I explored how virtual reality programming education can be applied to the level of elementary and secondary school students as an enrichment program.

Globally SW education is becoming increasingly important, and the government is preparing for this trend as a mandatory implementation of SW education in the 2015 revised curriculum. However, because the 17 hours of annual education offered in the course of Practical Arts cannot have great educational effects, this study attempted to develop a robot-based SW education program related to other regular subjects. Also in order to verify the effects of the program related to future competencies, problem solving ability and communication ability were selected as key factors. The paired t-test was conducted to examine whether there was a significant difference between pretest and posttest results. As a result, it was verified that the subject-related SW education program using robots was effective in improving students' problem-solving ability and communication ability. In addition, after the program was completed a survey was conducted, and it was possible to confirm that students could have positive perception on SW education.

In this study, we conduct SW education using robot in elementary school, to examine the effects of SW education using robot and identify differences dependeing on the presence of assistance teacher. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, SW education using robot was conducted to 29 students. After collecting data, we examined mean difference using matched pair t-test and ANCOVA. Our results show that SW education using robot significantly improved CT and attitudes toward robots. CT, however, was not significantly improved in control group. Further, although improvement in attitudes toward robots was not associated with presence of assistance teacher, presence of assistance teacher did play a role in improvement of CT. This study was investigated effects of the SW education using robot and identify differences depending on the presence of assistant teacher, and expanded the understanding of the SW education using robot.
