To determine the educational effects of writing to describe using Entry, block-based programming language, we instructed first year students at the national university of education on these activities for four weeks and analyzed the changes in their writing perception and attitude, ability of descriptive writing, computational thinking and learner's competencies. As a result, writing to describe using Entry did not affect students' writing perception and attitude change. However, the experimented students who wrote to describe using Entry became acquainted with the way of writing to describe, and improved their ability to describe objects. In addition, the computational thinking and critical thinking improved. Based on these results, it is hopped to be used as a basic material for expanding the education of descriptive writing using programming languages.

Computational Thinking is one of the biggest issues in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It is a core literacy required not only for SW major but also for all students including them. It is not a simple computer software education, but a coding education based on Computational Thinking, and it should be able to solve the problems in everyday life and to express the process and solutions. However, in the case of students who lack background knowledge on SW and programming languages for development, it is hard to know how to algorithmize problems and express them using computer devices. In this study, we proposed a education course model to improve the students' thinking skills and to express them effectively. In addition, we confirmed whether the non-major students who learned through this education course model can express various problems related to the major field by integrating them with computing accidents and improve the problem solving ability.

In this research, we introduce advantages of Viscuit which is an educational programming language developed in Japan and propose a possibility of using Viscuit to introduce coding. Specifically, we conducted experiments against students using both the manual and the focused study guide and the results indicated that they became familiar with coding easily without the knowledge of Japanese. Even though Viscuit is less well-known than languages such as Scratch and LightBot, it is very easy to practice coding using Viscuit because all that users need to do is manipulating pictures simply and it is expected that Viscuit will serve as a useful vehicle by which students can learn how to code.

There are various educational programming environments in which students can train artificial intelligence (AI) using block-based programming languages, such as Entry, Machine Learning for Kids, and Teachable Machine. However, these programming environments are designed so that students can train AI through a separate menu, and then use the trained model in the code editor. These approaches have the advantage that students can check the training process more intuitively, but there is also the disadvantage that both the training menu and the code editor must be used. In this paper, we present a novel artificial intelligence block that can perform both AI training and programming in the code editor. While this AI block is presented as a Scratch block, the training process is performed through a Python server. We describe the blocks in detail through the process of training a model to classify a blue pen and a red pen, and a model to classify a dental mask and a KF94 mask. Also, we experimentally show that our approach is not significantly different from Teachable Machine in terms of performance.

Programming learning is difficult for learners, and there are many cases where students lose interest in programming or give up. In this situation, the resilience is the ability of learners to stand up and get resilient and gain confidence in learning. Also, depending on the programming language and tools, the learner may feel the cognitive burden and the learning motivation may be different. In this study, we compared and analyzed the differences of resilience among the students of the scratch course and the Python course of the liberal programming lecture. As a result of the study, the differences in resilience of Python lectures and scratch lectures were significant but not significant. Through this study, learning strategies based on programming languages and tools and learners' tendencies were established.

Knowledge-based society requests the ability to reuse existing knowledge beyond acquirement and utilization of universal knowledge. The present education of computer, on the other hand, is biased only teaching how to use software. But it does not appropriate for the education to boost various and creative thinking. Thus, this paper carried out research on creativity to be treated in the goal of the 7th Educational Curriculum. Also it selected and analysed computer programming languages-'LOGO' and 'Scratch'. Furthermore, it develops a training material and applies to elementary students in schools. The result that it compares and analyzes the effect that each languages influence to creativity of students, both of them help to develop creativity. Especially 'LOGO' made a positive impact on fluency, 'Scratch' did on ness and resistance.

The importance of mathematics is emerging to create new values and secure competitiveness in an intelligent information society based on the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This study was conducted with the aim of improving the academic performance and increasing interest of electronics majors in mathematics subjects. In order to develop learners' mathematical capabilities in major fields that utilize mathematics that electronics majors do not prefer, we have proposed a new teaching method to promote employment in mathematics-based electronics fields. In addition, to enhance learners' self-directed learning, we developed teaching methods for efficient mathematics subjects with programming languages as tools in electronics engineering and applied them to real-world teaching sites to effectively cultivate academic performance improvement of majors. Finally, we conducted a survey and statistically analyze the effectiveness of the developed teaching methods to present effective operational measures for mathematics education, an essential tool in intelligent information technology.

College GIS and remote sensing education usually consists of commercial software packages implementations in the classroom. Computer programming is quite important when college graduates work in private or public sectors relevant with GIS and remote sensing implementations. The objective of this paper was to develop a valley management system which implements GIS and remote sensing as the key components for education. The Valley Authority is entitled with water resource protection for sustainable drinking water supply of the second largest city in Taiwan. The test area consists of three different government agencies, Forest Service, EPA, and Water Resource Agency. Materials were provided by the Valley Authority in ArcGIS file format. MapObjects have made the GIS development process much easier. Remote sensing with image manipulation functions were provided by computer programming with Visual Baisc.NET and Visual C#.NET. Attributes inquiry are performed by these two computer languages as well. ArcGIS and ArcPad are also used for simple GIS manipulations of the test area. Comparison between DIY and commercial GIS can be made by college students. Functions provided by the developed valley management system depending on how many map layers have been used and what types of MapObjects components have been used. Computer programming experience is not essential but can be helpful for a college student. The whole process is a step-by-step sequence which college students can modify to depict their capability in GIS and remote sensing. The development process has gone through one semester, three hours every week in 18 weeks. College students enrolled in this class entitled with GIS showed remarkable progresses both in GIS and remote sensing.
