  • Teaching programming skills is not only required for computer related departments but through the area of engineering and natural science. Moreover recently teaching programming skill is emphasized in software education for primary schools and secondary schools. Since programming ability is considered an essencial element of national competitiveness, we need programming learning system which alleviates the difficulty. We implemented Blockly webc Programming Convergent Learning System which is based on the graphic tools called Blockly by Google. Inside system problem sets for the programming beginners are embedded in the system. These problem sets are gone under more than 20 years verification and these problem sets may be used to help beginning programmers escape novice coder in short time. Blockly webc Programming Convergent Learning System together with already developed Simple Visual Language2 Programming Learning System is expected to play an important role as a programming learning system for the beginners.

  • Lately, as the importance of software and the software education has been emphasized, the studies on ways of teaching programming to elementary students have been actively progressed. However, most of undergraduates as prospective elementary teachers who will be in charge of teaching programming at the elementary schools have a lack of interest in programming education as well as of the understanding of basic programming principles. Therefore, this study investigated how programming education using hands-on robot and scratch affected learning motivation and academic achievement of preliminary teachers. The comparison of results of two programming educations shows that the programming education using hands-on robot revealed statistically significant difference in learning motivation and academic achievement.

  • Programming education generally includes problem analysis process, automation through algorithms and programming, and generalization process. It is a good software education method for students in improving computing thinking. However, it was found that beginners had difficulties in understanding instruction usage, writing algorithms, and implementing programming. In this study, we developed a game programming education model and curriculum for programming education of pre-service teachers. The 4E model consisted of empathy, exploration, engagement and evaluation. In addition, it is configured to learn game core elements and core command blocks by each stage. To help the pre-service teachers understand the use of various programming blocks, a three-step teaching and learning method was presented, consisting of example learning, self-game creation, and team-based projects. As a result of applying and verifying the curriculum for 15 weeks, it showed significant results in the 4E model and pre-service teachers' perception of block programming competence and the level of computational thinking on the submitted game project results was also high.

  • Recently, Information Communication Technology(ICT) is one of the most important technology that supports the modern society. As the ICT rises, the needs of the nurturing talents, who can develop a service or hardware on the basis of the humanities increases. As a result, teaching programming skills to students studying humanities and social science are essential. Also, it is important to train students studying science and engineering to write their thoughts logically. In order to serve these students, we introduce a pedagogy for computer programming using programming essay. Since a program is a sequence of the operations based on the programmer's logical thinking, programming can be considered as describing programmer's logic in the proper order using programming syntax. In this research, we train students to describe their logic using natural language. Students write down their essays for a given programming problems. Also, we introduce a pedagogy guideline using programming essay.

  • This study is aimed at developing a curriculum in relation to programming learning by using robot, for it has been judged as a scientific learning tool to help elementary school children as well as gifted children among them improve their creativity. Based on this concept, teaching aids and materials were developed, and then applied to the locale of education, and results therefrom were analyzed ccordingly. Curriculum and contents of teaching aids were classified into two processes, i.e. the assembling process of robot to fit the varied problematic situations and the programming process (all six phases), and edited so much as to entice elementary school children to get interests and attentions to robot and programming by compiling the contents to suit their level of learning. Results from the evaluation of the application of robot education curriculum to the locale for learning revealed that it was a positive teaching tool that helped children improve their creativity. Also conclusions were derived from the analysis and evaluation that several aspects should be complemented as for teaching and learning tool to achieve the objective of excellence education.

  • Computational thinking with programming skills has been widely emphasized for future industrial engineering researchers and practitioners in Industry 4.0. However, industrial engineering students still have limited opportunities to improve their computational thinking abilities during university coursework. In this regard, this research study proposes to use Python programming language for teaching classical Industrial Engineering subjects. For a specific case study, we designed and instructed an Engineering Economy lecture which cultivates the concept and techniques of economic analysis for engineering students. During the class, we introduced the usage of several Python libraries that include numpy-financial for basic financial functions, numpy and scipy for simple numerical computation and analysis, and matplotlib for data visualization. Anonymous class evaluation survey showed the effectiveness of the proposed teaching method in terms of both educational satisfaction and contents delivery. Finally, we found additional needs for providing lectures that adopt the similar teaching style to the proposed method.

  • Many researches indicate that programming learning could help improve problem solving skills through algorithmic thinking. But in general, programming learning has been focused on programming language features and it also gave a heavy cognitive load to learners. Therefore, this paper proposes a programming activity process to improve novice programming learners' algorithmic thinking efficiently. An experiment was performed to measure the effectiveness of the proposed programming activity process. After the experiment, the learners' perception on programming was shown to be changed, to effective activity in improving problem solving.

  • In this study, we develop a teaching and learning model for elementary students on game programming using KODU. The developed model consists of four steps: introducing the game programming, making the game, playing the game, and modifying the game. After teaching the students, we conduct a survey to gather their opinions on the game making tool and activities. The results show that the students are satisfied with KODU and prefer make a game to play a game. Game programming educating with KODU can keep elementary students from game addiction while increasing confidence in their studies.

  • In this paper, we design a programming education model that uses emotional intelligence and apply the model to programming education in elementary school. In our previous work, we found that there is a meaningful correlation between emotional intelligence and programming ability. In this paper, as a follow-up study, we design a programming education model based on a storytelling model and emotional intelligence. In order to test the performance of the proposed model, we applied our proposed model to the 5th grade elementary school students who have no programming experience. Based on extensive survey work and statistical analysis, we found that the experimental group by the programming education using the emotional intelligence got a statistically significant higher achievement than the comparative group by the traditional programming education. We hope that our model will be helpful in programming education in schools.
