Recently, interest in programming and artificial intelligence is continuously increasing, and software education is being implemented as a mandatory education from elementary school. For efficient programming education, it is basically necessary to build a lab environment suitable for students and teachers, but there are performance problems due to the inadequacy of old computers and network equipment. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a web page-based online practice environment and algorithm competition scoring system using React and Spring boot to solve the problem of the programming practice environment. Through this, it is thought that programming learning can be carried out using only a web browser even on low-spec computers. In addition, since various programming languages can be learned irrespective of the language to be learned, it is considered that the time cost for establishing a practice environment can be reduced.

프로그래밍 교육은 프로그래밍에 필요한 지식 교육부분과 문제해결능력과 연관된 프로그래밍 전략을 교육하는 부분이 함께 필요하다. 프로그램 작성 기술을 교육하는 과정은 단순한 지식 습득과정이 아니므로 수업과정에서 학습자 스스로 문제해결능력을 배양할 수 있는 유도과정이 필요하다. 이러한 특성의 프로그래밍 수업의 대표적인 수업방식은 실습방식으로, 실제 수업에서 학습자들의 서로 다른 수준을 고려하면서 실습수업을 효과적으로 운영하기에는 수업시간에 대한 제약이 많이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 프로그래밍 교육에서 사전 프로그래밍 과제를 활용하여 주어진 학점과 시간 안에서 실습 중심의 학습 효과를 높일 수 있는 교수 학습 모델을 제시한다. 이를 통해 프로그래밍 언어 교육 과정에서 발생하는 제한된 실습수업 시간으로 인해 학습자 스스로가 문제해결능력을 배양할 수 있도록 유도하는 수업을 실시하는데 발생하는 어려움을 해결하여, 학습자가 문제해결능력을 향상시키고 좋은 프로그램 작성 기준에 적합한 프로그램 개발 능력을 배양하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Dolittle is a educational programming language that helps students learning principles and concepts of computer science with programming. Learning programming with robot improve learning achievements robot motivate to be interest with programming. However, Dolittle robot programming is a different from Dolittle programming in process of interpretation and execution mechanism. Therefore, students have virtually to learn two languages to control robot and it would reduce the worth of Dolittle as educational programming language. In order to solve this problem, we tried to Unify Dolittle and robot control language using parser that Dolittle program with turtle object convert robot program. But this try couldn't overcome completely this problem because attributes of turtle object is different from robot. In this research we unified Dolittle programming and Dolittle robot programming as a way of adding new robot object in dolittle standard object group. it would improve educational effect of learning programming with robot in Dolittle.

As part of recent SW education methods, entry sites have been used in all practical textbooks in elementary schools. However, they are all learning block-type programming languages, making it difficult to produce programs that can be used in everyday life. This study is a study on the effects of learning programming using entry python on logical thinking ability and programming interest in elementary school students. Logical thinking ability and programming interest tests were conducted before and after the 8th class. Before and after classes, logical thinking ability score rose from an average of 6.6 to 9.4 and programming interests score also rose from an average of 46.7 to 59.1. This results in programming learning using Entry Python is significant for enhancing the logical thinking ability and programming interest of elementary school students.

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.

As a way to improve the software education ability of the pre - service teachers, we conducted programming learning using two types of programming tools (Python and Scratch) at the regular course time. In programming learning, various types of errors, which are factors that continuously hinder interest, achievement and creativity, were collected and analyzed by type. By using the analyzed data, it is possible to improve the ability of pre-service teachers to cope with the errors that can occur in the software education to be taught in the elementary school, and to improve the learning effect. In this study, logic error (37.63%) was the most frequent type that caused the most errors in programming in both conventional language that input text and language that assembles block. In addition, the detailed errors that show a lot of differences in the two languages are the errors of Python (14.3%) and scratch (3.5%) due to insufficient use of grammar and other errors.

This study developed HanScript, which is an educational Hangul programming language, in order to make programs easily and conveniently and applied it to the school fields. To evaluate HanScript, additionally, the researcher divided the properties of educational programming languages into easiness to read, easiness to write and easiness to debug and, based on them, compared HanScript with Visual Basic. According to the result, HanScript was expressed in Korean language style, so was easier to read and debug than Visual Basic. But it was not different from Visual Basic in debugging. Due to fewer libraries compared to Visual Basic, however, it was difficult to implement complex functions using HanScript. In addition, HanScript did not include an editor to edit source codes. Thus, if HanScript is equipped with rich libraries, detailed debugging information and an editor for source code edition, it will be a useful educational programming language.

As creativity and problem-solving ability become core competencies, the main objectives of programming subjects in the elementary and secondary educational curriculum is 'computational thinking'. This goal can not be achieved at the level of understanding the characteristics of the programming language and the simple utilization abilities of the computer. The abilities to write algorithms and solve problems in real life situations using programming languages are required. In order to cultivate these abilities, the curriculum of the programming area was strengthened in the elementary and middle education curriculum, and the criteria for evaluating the achievement level were also prepared. However, the curriculum that can be used in actual education field is not yet established. In this study, we analyzed the researches on the existing programming curriculum and evaluated how well the curriculum meets the achievement criteria. Also, we can suggest the aspects to be considered in the study of programming curriculum and to verify whether the results of curriculum operation are in line with achievement criteria. In addition, future directions in elementary and middle school programming curriculum are suggested.

In this study, we performed experimental studies on the educational programming languages of Dolittle and Robot to compare and analyze their effect on improving creativity. We formed three sixth grade classes, totaling 99 students, into a Robot class, a Dolittle class, and a general class that served as a neutral. The Dolittle class and the Robot class took ten programming lessons with specific hand-in operations, as well as feedback and discussion, during ten weeks. The experiment results showed that student creativity in the two programming classes improved more than that of students in the general class. Especially creativity of the students in the Robot class improved the most. Moreover, the mean creativity of the lower academic achievement group was slightly better than that of the higher group. This implies that there is no positive correlation between academic achievement and creativity.

Many people are showing interest on computing and computer programming ever as much as the smartphone become more popular. Computer programming languages, however, like Java or C++ being used to teach freshmen in computer science-related majors as the first programming language they will study are so difficult to understand. In this paper, we proposed a short-term curriculum for teaching computer programming using App Inventor for Android to freshmen students major in computer science as the first programming language they will study, which can encourage their interest in computer programming. According to survey from students participated in actual teaching, we found that the proposed curriculum can contribute to increase their interest on computer programming and even self-confidence on development of applications for smarphone.
