The ability to use information technology has become increasingly important as technological advances continue to sweep through the computing world, and education for improving computational thinking has become globally instituted. In South Korea, informatics subjects have been modified in the 2015 curriculum and are now compulsory in primary and secondary education. However, despite substantial financial investment and numerous studies promoting informatics education, there continues to be a serious lack of pre-service teachers capable of teaching computational thinking. This study investigated pre-service teacher programming education using App Inventor, their perceptions of App Inventor, and how use of the program affected teacher problem-solving abilities and self-efficacy. In the pre-test, the control group and experimental group showed no statistically significant difference; however, the post-test revealed that the two groups showed statistically significant differences in problem-solving skills and self-efficacy. The participants initially showed interest in using App Inventor; however, after practice-teaching and project-based learning, the participants demonstrated a growing negativity toward the program when they made errors and the functional limits of App Inventor became apparent. Although most participants stated that they would not use App Inventor in their classes, the positive statistically significant differences in problem-solving skills and self-efficacy indicate that this study could be utilized as a basis for building a teaching-learning program using App Inventor and creating an educational plan for teaching computational thinking.

본 논문에서는 예비 정보교사들이 학교 현장의 문제점을 고민하고, 그에 대한 아이디어를 학생 주도적으로 고안해나갈 수 있도록 하는 캡스톤 디자인 강의의 개발에 대해 논한다. 본 논문은 기초연구로서 캡스톤 디자인 교과목의 개발 과정 및 단계를 설계하고, 교과목 개발의 바탕이 되는 정보교사의 역량에 대하여 고찰하였다. 후속 연구로서 본 논문에서 선정한 정보교사의 역량을 바탕으로 학습자의 요구분석을 실시하고 실제 캡스톤 디자인 교과목을 개발하여 예비 정보교사들을 대상으로 캡스톤 디자인 강의를 실시할 것이다.

This study is for developing a programming education course to improve pre-service teachers' pedagogical content knowledge(PCK) of programming education. A 40-hour training course was designed with App Inventor, a block-based mobile programming environment, and with problem-based learning method and project-based learning method. After the curriculum was adopted to 12 undergraduate students, the effect of education was tested with a programming PCK questionnaire. As a result, after a 20-hour problem-based learning class, overall score and teaching method score were enhanced significantly. After another 20-hour project-based learning class, content knowledge, teaching method, and curriculum score were improved.

본 연구의 목적은 예비 교사의 소프트웨어 교육 수업 전문성 함양을 위하여 백워드 설계 기반으로 교육프로그램을 개발하는 데 있다. 백워드 설계는 학생들의 심층적인 이해를 고려한 수업 설계 기법이다. 백워드 설계 대한 이론적 배경을 바탕으로 차시 당 4시간 수업으로 총 8차시(32시간 분량)의 소프트웨어 교육 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이는 예비교사의 소프트웨어 교육에 대한 심층적인 이해를 돕고, 직접 백워드 설계를 기반으로 하는 수업 계획을 실습함으로써 교육과정에 대한 깊은 이해도 도울 수 있다는 점에 의의를 갖는다. 하지만 본 연구에서 개발된 교육 프로그램이 어떤 효과성을 지니는지에 대한 검증이 이루어지지 않았다는 제한점이 있다. 따라서 추후 연구에서는 효과성을 확인하기 위한 실험 및 통계적 검증이 요구된다.

With the growing acceptance of the educational benefits for the use of robot- based teaching, their use in classrooms is increasing. However, the vast majority of studies taking place are based within normal classroom environment. Therefore, this study was focused on the adaptations that need to be made for the use of robot-based teaching within a special-needs environment, specifically a program for pre-service teachers of a special needs Elementary school. The results indicate robot-based teaching has a place within special education and it is hoped that this study will spur further investigation into the field.

The purpose of this study is to develop TPACK-P teachers' training program based on backward design included understanding of backward design principles in order to enhance teachers' professionalism of software education and informatics education. This teachers' training program was conducted for non-informatics teachers in 32 hours. As a results, teachers showed that post-test result of SE-TEBI was higher than pre-test and the t-test results showed that the total value of SE-TE was t=-3.541(p< .01), subscale PSETE was t=-3.559( p< .01) and SEOE was t=-2.258(p< .05). Therefore, we demonstrate that it helps improve the teaching professionalism of teachers. However, as a result of the test, teachers' PSETE tend to be lower in SEOE, which is interpreted as a lack of confidence in the lessons. Therefore, in further study, it is necessary to develop a teacher education program that can promote the confidence of teachers.
