Because the success of SW education depends on teachers' competences and understanding, many universities of education are carrying out SW education for pre-service teachers. The purpose of this research is to analyze the current status of pre-service teachers' programming learning experiences and understanding of curriculum and educational effects related to SW education. The participants were 294 junior and senior students enrolled in a university of education. In relation to 'programming learning experiences', many responded positively in terms of interest, usefulness and willingness to learn. However, many were not satisfied with their programming experiences, felt difficulty in programming, and evaluated their programming abilities as low. For the 'understanding of SW education curriculum', many recognized the necessity of SW education and understood that the allocated time was insufficient. Both positive and negative opinions were reported concerning the fact that SW education is conducted in practical arts. In comparison, many did not understand well about the concept and characteristics of SW education and the details of the curriculum. In relation to the 'understanding of SW education effects', many understood positively about all the effects presented in the questionnaire including problem solving abilities and creativity. In addition, significant differences were found among pre-service teachers' major categories regarding the programming learning experiences and the understanding of SW education curriculum and effects. Based on the results of the research, suggestions were made for the improvement of the pre-service teachers' SW education program.

This study investigates convergent influence on TOEIC learning flow and its association with self efficacy, academic control and school resilience among health college students. Data collection was carried out using a self-administered questionnaire from May 1 to May 29, 2018 and the target was randomly selected 255 health college students in TOEIC class from college located in J city. TOEIC learning flow was positively correlated with self efficacy, academic control and school resilience. With the analysis of covariance structure, we could confirm relationship among self efficacy, academic control, school resilience and TOEIC learning flow. School resilience was more influential on TOEIC learning flow than self efficacy and academic control. The results of the study indicate that the efforts to manage these factors are required to increase TOEIC learning flow of health college students in TOEIC class. The results are expected to be used to develop TOEIC learning curriculum increasing the TOEIC learning flow among health college students in TOEIC class. In the following study, the survey about additional factors of influence on TOEIC learning flow will be needed.

This study ascertained convergent influence on self-leadership and its association with self-competence, self-efficacy and locus of control among female freshmen in health majors studying TOEIC. Data collection was carried out using a self-administered questionnaire from April 29, 2019 to May 10, 2019 and the target was randomly selected 201 female freshmen in health majors in TOEIC class from college located in J city. Self-leadership was positively correlated with self-competence, self-efficacy and locus of control. The covariance structure analysis showed that the higher self-competence, the higher self-efficacy and the lower locus of control tend to increase self-leadership. The results of the study indicate that the efforts, to increase self-competence and self-efficacy, to decrease locus of control, are required to improve self-leadership of female freshmen in health majors studying TOEIC. These results are expected to be used for educational counseling and intervention efforts to enhance self-leadership among female freshmen in health majors studying TOEIC. In future studies, further research on additional factors affecting self-leadership is needed.

Though considering of philosophy of mathematics can be optional to theoretical mathematicians, that of philosophy of mathematics-education is supposed to be indispensible to mathematics-educators. So it is natural for mathematics-educators to ask what kind of philosophy might be more desirable for mathematics-education. In this context, this essay reviews two kinds of major philosophy of mathematics, Platonism and formalism. However it shows that humanism could be more plausible alternative philosophy of mathematicseducation. In the course of entailing such a result it introduces an episode of lecture for Laplace-transformation as a speculative evidence from experience.

Humanity faces the 4th industrial revolution, many countries are providing systematic and continuous SW education to foster talent with AI capabilities. On the other hand, there are high concerns that the SW gap will widen and polarize as domestic reality does not provide systematic and continuous SW education to learners. Against this background, this study started to investigate the influence of learners' SW experience on SW education. As a result of the study targeting science and engineering students, the effect of SW experience on SW education was significant. With theses results, it is expected that various discussions will be actively conducted so that systematic and continuous SW education can be provided in elementary and secondary schools.
